XVI

Airah wasn't able to sleep last night, Kylla didn't stop asking about what happened to her and Yi Xing and her heart isn't fine at all... she can't stop thinking about Yi Xing!

"Ate! Walanghiya naman, tell me what happened! Puro ka tulala!" Kylla grabbed her shoulders to shake her "Kylla, stop it, I'm having a headache." she told her sister, Kylla stoped and stomped her feet "Hmp!"

She went to their kitchen and saw her mother "You don't have work today, Ma?" she asked "I have, but it's still early to go." she nodded and took a glass of water "Kylla told me." her mother started "You're no longer a kid, Airah. Your father and I will understand."

"Ma!"

"What? Hahahaha. I was at your age when your father started to court me." she gave her mother a weird look who's having a dreamy face telling her how she and her husband started "How do you feel about Yi Xing?" her mother asked "I... I don't know." her mother sat beside her "You don't know or you're denying not to know?"

"Anyway don't pressure yourself, sweetie. Yi Xing is a man who can wait, I am sure."

Then she remembered the envelope Yi Xing gave her last night. Airah went back to her room to open it. She breathed heavily before checking the letter.

Airah Lee,

Hi, my sunshine. Yes, you are my sunshine because I believe that an Airah a day can keep the bad feelings away! If you're reading this then I am sure you're already aware of my feelings for you. As much as I want to take things slow between us, I can't. I don't want anyone to snatch you away from me. I can't let what Xiumin, Jongdae and Baekhyun told me happen. But don't worry, I can wait. I just don't want to miss this chance. I don't want to miss you here in my life.

Kaya nais ko sanang malaman,
Kung ako ba ay may pag-asa,
Dahil ako'y hindi susuko,
Zhang Yi Xing ata to!

Airah Lee, maaari ba akong manligaw?

Answer me when you're ready, sunshine.

Only yours,
Zhang Yi Xing

PS: I asked Kylla to translate it for me.

"Ate!"

"Oh gosh!" she screamed "Ano ba naman, Kylla?!" she shouted at her sister "Goodness, a deliveryman is looking for you! I have been shouting you name for five times but you're not answering!"

"Thank you."

She opened the box that she received, she already saw it was from Yi Xing "Oh my, kinikilig ako! Ma! Get me a Zhang Yi Xing too, please?!" Kylla hysterically said when she saw the hand made rose and the cookies. Airah took the small note to read it.

My dear sunshine,

Hand made flower papers for this will not fade, just like my feelings for you. Cookies to make your smile even sweeter. Ingat palagi!

"You're blushing really hard, sweetie!" her mother said pointing at her face "Ma, pahinging Zhang Yi Xing!" Kylla hit her shoulders "Be a good girl, heaven will send you one, Kylla." her mother answered "Why don't you give your suitor a call?"

She went to her room and dialed Yi Xing's number but he didn't answer her call so she left a message to him.

Yi Xing settled himself inside the van "Are you alright?" Manager Woo asked "I am, just a little tired. Let's go home." he closed his eyes but he remembered Airah, he turned his phone on "Hey, did Airah answer your question?" his manager asked "She messaged me but still no answer."

My sunshine
Thank you so much for the flower and cookies. Do not skip any meals today, Yi Xing! Have a nice day ahead!

He quickly typed a reply to her. Their van stopped and his manager told him he'll buy him his dinner first.

When he got to his unit, he called Airah "I'm going to eat dinner!" then he showed the paper bag to her "I already had mine, so eat well. I think you should eat first before we talk." he put his phone down to get a plate, spoon and fork "I want to talk to you while I eat, I missed you a lot. It was such a busy day for me."

Airah saw how his face became sad "Hmmm, okay. Wait, I'll get some snack so we can eat together." she came back with the cookies he sent this morning "Do you like them?" she nodded "Did you bake these?" Airah asked "Yes, I couldn't sleep right now because I kept on thinking about you so I decided to make some cookies and send them to you." Airah coughed a little "H-How... how could you easily say those words?"

"Well, because I really want to express my feelings for you. It's easy. Why?" Airah looked down as she realized something "Is that so?" Yi Xing nodded "I'm a very vocal person, Airah. I love expressing myself, I love making people feel how special they are to me." he said "And I will keep on making you feel very special." she smiled "Thank you, Yi Xing. I don't know how things will work for us and I don't want to keep denying I am not feeling something for you-"

Yi Xing almost choked himself "Are you alright?" Airah worriedly asked "I-I am!"

"I know things are pretty awkward right now, but are you saying I can court you?"

"Yes." then Airah ended the call.

"Did she say yes?" he asked himself "Oh my God, it's a yes. YES!" he jumped from his seat "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"We're here!" he turned around "Y-Yow." he unbelievably said "Something happened? You were jumping when we came here." Chanyeol asked, they put all their bags down "Are you all going to stay here?" he asked "Yes, for three days. Thanks to our Junmyeon." Xiumin said "Aish. Get your bags, we're going somewhere."

"Woah! We didn't know you have a new house!" Baekhyun went upstairs "Hyung! Do you have food? I haven't eaten anything yet." Yi Xing pointed at the fridge, Sehun and Jongin quickly checked it "How are things going between you and Airah?" Junmyeon asked "Before you guys came she just told me I can court her." Baekhyun heard what he said "Really!?" he nodded "Hyung, food's not enough for us."

"Let's eat outside, my treat. Hahahaha!"

"Ohhh! That's why you're so happy!" they went to a noodle house near his place, there were only few people since it's already late, they were loudly teasing Yi Xing but he's not feeling shy at all! He's busy planning in his mind how to court Airah! "What if I send her letters everyday? With short messages?" he asked his members "That's sweet and then?"

"Movie date every week?"

"Typical." Jongdae.

"Dinner date."

"Another typical." Junmyeon.

"Be creative, hyung. Tha's what they want to say." said Kai who's busy with his bowl of noodles "Like what?"

"Think." Chanyeol ordered another bowl of noodles "Yes, think. Another one please!" Baekhyun said.

Airah woke up early the next day, she and Kylla will attend their first mandarin class together.

Yi Xing
Day 1.

As the wind blow upon the window,
As the sun shine brighter,
Please always remember,
I am here with you,
I will stay with you,
For I am yours, Airah Lee.

Her lips formed a smile.

I am yours, Airah Lee.
