"The night is still young and you're gonna end your work already?", Blood Rose looked at him weirdly.

"We can start the next night, give me your number"

"I thought we were working, not dating"

Devil Rider rolled his eyes for the nth time. "Your criminal phone number. Don't tell me you don't have one"

"Hmmm...", The girl pretended to be in thought, which further made the boy wanting to kill her. "Here's my card", She took something out of her jacket and passed it to the boy.

He glanced at it before putting it in his pocket. "We meet tomorrow then", He didn't say anything else and rode away, leaving the girl again as she waved at his back.

"Bye grumpy cat", She rolled her eyes in annoyance. "What's his problem? He's so cold for no reason"

Snuggling deeper inside her cardigan, Xiu Ying slowly opened her eyes to see seven people getting ready to leave. "Enjoy your trip", she sleepily smiled.

"You know you didn't have to see us off, you look ready to snooze in the middle of the road", Jaemin came up to her. "Well, maybe I am ready", She joked.

"Are you sure you don't want to follow us, dear? We have space for one more person", Ms. Na gave a warm smile, while Xiu Ying politely declined.

"It's a family trip, I don't want to feel left out"

"You have us though, your friends", Jihye pouted.

"You know what I mean"

"Alright then", Jihye clinged onto her boyfriend. "See you in two weeks?"

"I'll be here! Don't think about me too much okay?", She winked.

"More like you shouldn't miss us three a lot", Renjun said. "I don't have any reason to miss you though", She grinned.

"Just kidding", Giggling a bit, while Mr. Huang called them and said it was time to go.

"Bye, remember to not put Jihye and Renjun in the same room! They might forget to use protection"

"Xiu Ying", Renjun glared at him while Jihye turned into a red tomato. "She's not wrong though, I think I heard something when I passed by your room the other day. Something about touching, teasing and filling-"

"Jaemin!", Jihye slapped her brother on the arm which made him laugh wholeheartedly.

Xiu Ying gave one last wave at the car that disappeared into the distance. "Why do I always say goodbye to people", She looked down. "First Devil Rider, now my friends"

As always, she felt lonely once again.
