Grey Roses Yet Red [ON HOLD]

Spring 2016 (Ch.02)

A/N: Sorry, the previous chapter super super short. And sorry for taking so long to update. No proofread. Hope you enjoy.

Since my mom let me stay home, I sat on the kitchen chair and watch her cook breakfast. We live in a small apartment and the kitchen is very small too, as well as the rooms but it's good enough for only two people living. 

"Mom," I called out to her and she turned around with her bright eyes to me.

"Yeah?", she responded. If I'm dreaming, I wish I don't ever wake up from this. It's too wonderful and painful at the same time. 

"What date is it today? ", I asked her as I held my breath. I am scared and terrify to know. What if it is the day before she says goodbye to me? She smiled and said, "haha dear, why are you acting like you got amnesia or something. You're not in a drama. haha. If you keep being like this, you might end up having an imaginary boyfriend", she always liked to tease me. 

"It's Spring, honey. April 21, 2016. You had Spring break about two weeks ago. And oh, speaking of spring break, who's that boy that took you home last time?" 

Wait what?..a boy? And what the...it's 2016? Wasn't it yesterday fall 2026? Wait a minute..if I am 28 years old..does that mean I will be turning 16 in a couple of months? And that means I am in the last year of middle school? No, that can't be.  There's no one I went back 12 years. No, that's impossible.

"Honey, eat the breakfast now. Honey. Jun Zi!", I was so lost into my own deep thoughts that I didn't realized my mom calling me. "Yes mom!", I yelled back at her and she just keeps laughing while pointing at the breakfast she served. Her cooking are always the best. Today was simple. Fried eggs and bacon. Mmm...yummy. My mom kept looking at me with a mysterious smile. 

"Mom, what are you smiling about?", I asked her. "Haha. I know you are thinking about him. The boy. I mean he's not bad. He got a good hair style too. And oh, you took a picture of him. Let me show you." She took out her phone and showed me a picture...

As she showed me the picture, I looked at it careful. I opened my eyes wider. No, it can't be. It can't be Pin. No, I hope it's not him. I looked careful and there's no denying that it's Pin. Pin Lee. He asked me to his girlfriend in freshmen year...which means that I still have a chance to change the future. I know what to do. From now on, I'll ignore him. Avoid him. Then will things that are suppose to happen change?
