Airah and his family went to the same place where Kylla saw Yi Xing's ad, because there was no signal, she wasn't able to send to him the selfies she took with the tarpaulin. She will once her phone gets signal.

Yi Xing lazily sat on his seat though he was tired he still kept the happy expression in his face, he just came back to his usual routine, after more than two months of being missing in action, he's now back to his idol life. He has a really tight schedule since most of his past schedules got rescheduled again. He needs to work double time to finish them fast.

He feels tired, not just because of work but because he hasn't heard from Airah for days now, he's aware that there's no signal there but he can't help but feel worried about her, and he misses Airah. Two days of no talk drained him already, he can't wait to see her again when she comes home.

"A penny for your thought?" Manager Woo sat beside him "I miss Airah." Manager Woo covered his mouth "You can't say that outloud if you don't want to make any problem." he sighed "It's not like I can keep this for life, Manager Woo." Yi Xing looked at his phone to read their previous conversations hoping it can lessen his burden of missing her. But it was a bad move, he's missing her more! "I really want to see her now." he closed his eyes, Airah's face popped in to his mind.

Oh damn, how long do I still need to wait? He's being impatient... he's missing her so much. Airah is like his sweet medicine everyday. She can make him feel happy, she can make his heart fly, she can make him laugh, she's everything right now to him "Cupid's shot was a total bull's eye." Manager Woo handed a bottle of water to him "Yeah. I was shot at the very first sight."

Yi Xing is now more open about the topic. Manager Woo knows that the other EXO members made Yi Xing realize his feelings for her more. Though it might create a little problem, he knows Yi Xing will still push through to get her. Yi Xing is the type of person who will do whatever he wants once he gets the chance to do it. Now that he has fallen in love, he's sure Yi Xing will not let Airah go.

"Aren't you afraid of issues?"

Yi Xing stopped at the question, it has never crossed his mind... not at all, he turned around to answer his manager "No offense meant, you know I will always support you but I just want to ask. Yi Xing, remember who you are. This can affect her too sooner or later."

"Issues are just issues, it'll fade but my feelings won't and I am not missing the chance to love for the sake of keeping my name clean."

Airah's trip ended, finally she's home. She called Yi Xing's number but he didn't pick up so she thought he's busy, she knows he just got back from showbiz and she's sure he has a lot of schedules line up. So she only sent him a message after the call.

Airah
Hey, I'm home. Take care of yourself! I know you're pretty busy right now. Don't skip meals!

It was past 9 PM when Yi Xing got the chance to check his phone, he quickly dialed Airah's number when he saw her message "Hi!" he excitedly sais as soon as she picked up the call "Hey, how are you doing?" a huge smile came across his face when he heard her voice after a few days of no communication "I... I'm doing well!" he answered "I know you're tired, you have a lot of work right now don't you? Did you eat your meals already?" the sun has finally rise upon him now that he's talking to her! "I didn't skip any meals and yes to be honest I'm a little tired. I just got off from a photoshoot, but after hearing you, I feel energized again!"

"Hahaha, what am I? A vitamin?" she jokingly asked "You are. I missed you." Airah coughed "Hey, are you alright? What's going on?" Yi Xing worriedly asked "N-Nothing." she answered "Aren't you supposed to answer my 'I miss you' with 'I miss you too.', Airah?" she coughed again, this time louder "Hey, I don't think you're fine. I should call Kylla or Auntie, or maybe I should just go there and check you by myself."

"N-No! D-Don't! I'm fine I swear." she assured "Oh, really? Okay. Can you answer me now?" Yi Xing spinned the script in his hands "Or you didn't miss me?"

"N-No! It's not like that! I... I missed you." Yi Xing's hand raised up as he shouted without a voice "K-Kinikilig a-ako." he stammered as he said the Tagalog phrase "Eh?" Airah didn't hear it right "I said, kinikilig ako."

"W-What the..."

He took out the small notebook from his bag "Kinikilig ka rin no?" then he laughed "Y-Yi Xing!" Airah shouted "Hey, don't shout. I only said what I was feeling in Tagalog. Is there something wrong with that?" Airah fell quiet on the other line.

"Nakakainis, umaasa ako, baka mamaya ma-hopia naman ako sa isang to." Yi Xing didn't understand her, he tried to ask her what it means but she didn't give him any answer at all "Let's meet tomorrow okay?"

"Don't you have schedule?" she asked "I don't have any after 4 PM. I'll ask Auntie if I can bring you out for dinner." Airah didn't know what to tell him, she's still under his kinikilig ako line a while ago, her mind's blocked from processing anything other than that line. How can he possibly say that so easily?! Now she's more afraid of his effect on her... but she knows she can't stay away from Yi Xing. He can make her happy.

It was already 1 AM and they're still awake talking to each other, she told him what happened to her trip and he continued to tell her what happened to him when he was in South Korea "Yi Xing, it's late." she said "You've said that four times in a row now." he can hear him tapping on the keyboard "Then why are you still up? You should be sleeping, it was a stressful day for you I am sure." she rolled on the other side of her bed "No it's not, especially now that I'm talking to you." Airah held un to her chest, she feels like her heart is going to explode anytime soon because of him!

Walanghiyang lalaki to, nasisiraan na ako ng bait dahil sa kanya! She covered her face with a pillow "Are you still there?" Yi Xing asked "Yeah. You're really not sleeping yet?" he said he's staying up until she falls asleep "Oh gosh." she whispered. Airah grabbed Mr. Sheep and hugged it tightly.

"Yi Xing."

"Hmmm?"

"I'm afraid." that made Yi Xing stop typing on his laptop, he knows what she means. He knows it! He can definitely feel it!

"I'll be here, Airah. I'll be here."

Yi Xing stared at his room's ceiling. He knows Airah fell asleep already since she's not answering him anymore and that was 30 minutes ago. Up to now he's still awake.

An Airah a day, can keep the bad feelings away!

He wrote on a sticky note and put it on the head of the sheep stuff toy beside him he hugged it "I can't wait to see her tomorrow." he whispered before falling asleep.
