"That's me" // Xukun's FF

Chapter 13

Nana's POV

I walk into the company since I have to record the choreography but first other dancers have to learn it. However I don't know how I am going to do this. It was so hard to make it because I couldn't focus. I couldn't focus when four days ago I was taking care of Xukun and since then it has been a torture. I don't know how much he remembers. This boy is really unpredictable. I was so surprised when he showed me that earring...

"Is it yours?" he asks taking me aback for a good moment. I'm not sure if I'll be able to say anything about that. For a slight second my mind goes blank and my small shiny earring I couldn't find glistens between his fingers. I've been looking for this everywhere but now I hope I lost it forever. My worst fears have just come true at this very moment.

"Yes, thank you! I was so afraid I would never find it. Where it was?" I respond as naturally as it is possible. I smile brightly as if I was actually happy. I take it from him quickly before he changes his mind. Everything is possible now with this new-old Xukun.

"That's funny because it was on the floor...in my room," he answers looking at me as if he wants to say 'I know you were here. Tell what you were doing in my room.'

"In your room?" I asks acting surprised. "I haven't been in your room until today...but I haven't seen it since your welcoming party which was yesterday," I add lying a bit and partly saying the truth so my lie is more reliable. I hope...

"Yeah and I found it when everyone left...but how did it ended up here?" he asks rhetorically. This sarcasm can be felt in my bones as I realise that he knows I was here. He is sure about that. But I guess he doesn't know what I was doing here and if I don't want to tell him I have to play along and act stupid.

"Maybe it sticked on to your clothes somehow when you caught me in the kitchen? It has a bad clips so it fall out quite often. Anyway thank you," I explain still smiling and I can see hesitation on his face. This is the end. He lost because now he doubts his suspicious. He got out of the role. "Now eat it before it gets cold," I add as a warm feeling of victory rush through me.

Suddenly a small almost unnoticeable smirk appears on his face which I cannot read. I have never played in more nerve wrecking game as this one. I start to dread that I might get happy too fast.

"You know...my mom used to make this soup and this tea for me when I was feeling unwell," he states. I don't know if he tests me or if he knows. I should have prepared something else for him. That is my big mistake that may end me.

"You probably don't remember but you told me about it," I say out loud. You even made one for me once. I say in my mind. It is true and now I don't know if I want him to recall that moment or the opposite. I try to keep a plain face but there are so many different emotions I can't name inside of me.

Xukun looks into my eyes but this time it is way different than before. A smirk disappears and his lips slightly part as his chocolate brown eyes find mine. There is something in them. The spark I haven't seen in so long yet confusion mingled with desperation. I can't tell if this is part of his game or it is real. The real Xukun without any masks or covers. His gaze seems to be asking for something. For help to find the truth maybe. But I don't know. I don't who he is right now. I don't know what I should do and I don't know what I feel. But I'm sure my heart is going to explode if he don't stop staring at me. I may do or say things I will regret.
