Lacey P.O.V.

It has been a week since I met my brother again. We always hang out and he never missed a day acting like my big brother. I haven't told him yet about my condition, I asked Winwin and the others not to tell him, that I'll just tell him myself. They all agreed and respect my decision. I'm glad that they are very reliable and a good friend.

Minghao never missed a day without walking me home and because of that, we become more closer than before. I'm glad to be friend with the one I love, at least in the mean time I can enjoy the time being I have with him, with them. His friends also approach me everytime and I always have a friendly talk with them.

My life now is nothing to compare what I have before. Before, I'm alone. No friends to talk to, no family to count in to. But now, I have a lot of friends and I finally found my one and only brother.

Today is Friday, and tomorrow is the retreat. School just ended earlier, I packed my things and clothes for the retreat then, I picked up my purse and walk out of my house. I walk to the convenience store to buy some snacks and things I will need for tomorrow.

After buying almost all of types of the chips and drinks. I finally pay, and I didn't notice that I bought a more than enough things. I held the plastic bags and walk out of the store carefully trying not to let anything fall.

I pushed the door open and quickly walked out before the door closed but I suddenly bumped to certain person. Everything in my hands fell as I groaned in my mind. I picked up the chips and so did the person in front of me.

"I am so sorry, I didn't mean to-" he got stopped and so was I when our eyes met. "Lacey?"

"oh, hi Hoshi" I smiled. When we successfully put all the chips and drinks in the bag, he helped me to stood up.

"I am really sorry Lacey" he said and bow.

"no, no it's fine." I said and gave him a reassuring smile.

"you're really nice as always Lacey" I laughed at his words. "hey let me treat some ice cream just to make up with you, hope you don't mind?"

"oh uh... Sure" he smiled.

"great" he took the other bags to help me as we walk to a near coffee shop.

When we reached the place, we took our orders and walk back to my place. He insisted on walking me home since it was kinda dark already.

"you look excited for tomorrow" he started.

"no, not really."

"same! I feel like it's just gonna be exhausting"

"yeah..." I giggled then it went quiet again. The silence made me think of a question to ask him. "Hoshi,"

"hm?"

"Does Kyulkyung like Minghao?"

"oh? Why are you asking?"

"just... Curious"

"ah... The only thing I know is that Minghao is courting Kyulkyung so I guess... They both like each other." I wished I didn't ask him that.

"oh really?" I laughed to hide my jealousy. "that's good then, they both look good together"

"yeah you're right"

"Kyulkyung is a good and pretty girl. I'm not surprised that he likes her"

"yeah she's pretty, but you're more pretty" he smiled with his eyes.

"nahh"

"yes you are! I swear!" I smiled.

"thanks Hosh" he smiled back. As soon as I looked up, I realized that we're in my house. "we're here, do you want to stop by?"

"no it's ok, you should rest already so you can have a lot of energy tomorrow"

"are you sure?"

"yeah"

"ok will do. Thanks for walking me home and for the ice cream"

"no problem" he winked then waved at me "I'll be going now"

"ok take care!" He nod then left.

As i walk inside my house i closed the door and lazily lay to my bed. I sighed when I remembered what Hoshi said earlier. Why did I even get my hopes up? I'm pretty sure I've got nothing to give Minghao but Kyulkyung has.

I held my heart to stop myself from being emotional. Later on my phone ring. It was surprising to see a call from minghao a

"Hey Lacey do you want me to accompany you tommorow to school?" I got quiet for some time, Hoshi's words repeated on my head like an irritating music.

"uh... thanks, but I'm fine"

"Why?"

"I can help myself don't worry"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah... "

"Alright if that's what you want"

"thanks bye~"

"U-uh ok bye~" he said and i hung up.

I guess i don't have an energy to talk at Minghao after i heard that he's courting Kyulkyung and he didn't even told me. Argh why am I feeling this? Why am I getting mad at him it's not even a sin.

I hate this feeling.
