"No, I'm just thinking where to place myself in your life." 

Yi Xing's eyes widened. His world seemed to stop from spinning with what he heard...

"No, I'm just thinking where to place myself in your life." 

"Oh gosh!" Airah covered her mouth realizing what she said "H-Hey! T-That was just a joke! Hahahaha! Y-You see w-well, u-uhm... of course I-I know where to p-place myself! W-We're friends!" Airah couldn't think of anything better to tell him, Yi Xing hasn't react yet! He's only staring at her!

"No, I'm just thinking where to place myself in your life." 

He heard it right! She said that! She did! "A-Aiyo w-wei." he put the mugs down "D-Don't mind me. Hahaha!" Yi Xing pulled Airah closer to him.

Her eyes widened as Yi Xing flashed the sweetest smile he has ever seen on him "This is your place, right beside me." she quickly covered her face with both her palms "Hey don't cover your face." but she didn't listen to Yi Xing, she kept acting like that while cursing herself of how stupid she is. Ano na, Airah. Anong katangahan to? Gosh! She wanted to go home and lock herself inside her room. How is she supposed to face Yi Xing now? Goodness, she and her stupid mouth! 

She felt him leave her side so she slowly took the blanket he left to cover herself as she talked to herself "Nakakaloka ka Airah, bakit ang tanga tanga mo. May tulala epek ka pang nalalaan, ayan tuloy, napapala!" she slapped herself, he came back so she covered her face again, to her surprise, Yi Xing put an earplug on her ear "If you don't want to talk to me, just listen to this." he said. 

She knows the song! It's Out of My League by Stephen Speaks. Airah stopped covering her face and she looked at Yi Xing who's staring at the sky. 

"It's your hair and your eyes today

That just simply take me away

And the feeling that I'm falling further in love
Makes me shiver but in a good way

  "You changed the lyrics." she said "Ssshh, just listen."   

All the times I have sat and stared
As you  thoughtfully thumbs through your hair
And you purses your lips, bats your eyes and you play with me
Sitting there slack-jawed and nothing to say

'Cause I love you with all that I am
And my voice shakes along with my hands

'Cause you're  all that I see
And you're all that I need
And I'm out of my league once again  

"Yi Xing-" 

"Just listen." 

"Why are you doing this?" she asked "The answer is within the song Airah." the sweet smile never left his face "No way." Yi Xing chuckled "Yes way." he said then sang along.

'Cause I love you with all that I am
And my voice shakes along with my hands

 'Cause it's frightening to be

Swimming in this strange sea
But I'd rather be here than on land

'Cause you're all that I see
And you're all that I need
And I'm out of my league once again

"Remember when we first met in the hospital? I sat beside you not because there are no vacant seats. I realized I chose that bench because you were there. You grabbed my attention." Airah's blushing, is he confessing to her?! Is this real?! A Zhang Yi Xing confessing his feelings?! Airah felt a little suffocated, she couldn't breathe properly and her heart is beating really fast! It's making her crazy! Oh gosh!

"I even stalked you." she gasped "Y-You stalked me?!" Yi Xing nodded while laughing "I didn't message you because I feel shy. I lost your number. Hahaha." Oh my God, Zhang Yi Xing what are you really doing to me right now?! Her mind shouted "Don't call me a creep. Too handsome for that."

"When we met again in the hospital, I felt like it was fate that brought me to you again, I know you're going to get mad at me that I didn't message you. I followed what this told me." he pointed to his chest "And I am glad I did, because for the days we weren't talking, you never left my mind. I kept on thinking about you, I missed you." Airah felt something warm touched her heart, Yi Xing really missed her... "I always want to talk to you, I always want to see you, I always miss you and when you knew about my secret, when you got mad at me I felt really sad, I blamed myself for not telling you who I really am. It broke my heart thinking you will never talk to me again, that you don't want to see me, I've neve been in such pain before, I swear to God."

"That's why I am not going to let go of you anymore. Again your place?" he paused for a while "It's right here, right beside me, Airah." Yi Xing pulled her for a hug.

Things are in slow motion for Airah, her mind is still processing everything Yi Xing told her, she feels like her mind is going to blow off not until Yi Xing hugged her. She can feel his warm embrace around her... and she knows what this is. It's called love.

Gosh, ang haba ba ng buhok ko?

Awkwardness filled them so Yi Xing decided to send her home since he knows she's still in shock after his confession, Airah wasn't even in her right mind that she almost tripped over, good thing Yi Xing has fast reflexes, he pulled her fast before she falls off "Hey, are you alright?" she quickly nodded "I-I am!"

Yi Xing only chuckled, he opened the door "Goodnight, Airah." he said "G-Goodnight, Y-Yi Xing."

"Ah by the way." Yi Xing gave her a small envelope "Read it, I will patiently wait for a response. Goodnight!" then he went off.

"Hey, are you okay?" Kylla asked her "Your face is really red, Ate. Something happened?" her sister asked suspiciously "Yi Xing confessed."

"OH MY GOSH!" Kylla shouted.

"Are you alright?" Yi Xing didn't go home, he went to his manager's house after sending Airah to her home "I already told her." Manager Woo asked what did Airah say "Ah, don't worry, she's only shocked. You see?! She's asking for her place on your life! Goodness! What drama is this?! Hahahahaha!" he teasingly told Yi Xing "I'm still nervous."

"Just wait, Yi Xing! The sweetest fruit doesn't come off that easily! You need to work hard for it!" he grabbed his phone to search in the internet "Yeah right, let's check how Filipinos court a woman."

"That's my boy!" his manager happily said "Can't believe you're actually having a lovelife already. Makes me feel teary eyed, Yi Xing. For real." he made a face at him "Neither do I. I'm not gonna miss this chance." with determination he said.

"Let's just wait for a response from her shall we, eh?" they bumped their fists and laughed "Zhang Yi Xing is in love with Airah Lee, what ship is this?"

"AiXing?" Yi Xing said.

"Sounds like icing to me."
