"Why didn't you answer it?" I asked. She looked at me calmly and smiled.

"It's not important." She said.

"Are you sure that you wont be able to make it to your flight?" I asked without looking at her.

"It's too late now, the event will start at the exact time of my arrival." She said which made me frown a bit. I can't believe that she wasn't able to go because of me.

"I'm sorry" I said, trying not to burst out.

"You don't have to be. Plus driving you all the way here made me realize something." She said then faced me.

"I realized that I shouldn't have jump into conclusions earlier. I shouldn't have been so eager to be with you. I now understand what you're going through and I am willing to stay by your side while waiting for us to happen." Yuqi said, I can see her eyes sparkling due to the tears that were forming, it makes my heart ache and I don't want her to feel that way.

"About earlier, I want you to-" I didn't finish what I was saying because she covered my mouth with her hand.

" I know that you're just going to apologize again and you don't have to just to make me feel better" Yuqi said. then flashed another teethy smile. I was just staring at her for a few seconds.

'Don't do it, Don't do it Don't do it' I thought to myself but I gave up and just allowed my heart to do what it really wants.

I removed her hand from my mouth and pulled her towards me, her lips landed on mine and the next thing I know is that we were already kissing under the moonlight. I wrapped my arms around her neck to deepen the kiss as I feel her hands on my waist.

"Ehem." I heard someone spoke beside, it cause us to push each other away.

"uhmm.. Sorry to interrupt but.. Soyeon you have got to see this." Doyeon said while smiling teasingly at me. I looked at Yuqi and she was blushing while looking away. I turned back at Doyeon and I gave her a "I'm going to snap your neck" Look.

"Yuqi I... I'm just going to check on something" I said then she looked at me.

"Sure sure why not go ahead. I'll wait for you here" Yuqi simply replied.

"why don't you come to Yuqi? We found someone inside the room of your mother so I immediately went to look for you and here you are... uhm with Yuqi" Doyeon said which made me and Yuqi look at each other.

We didn't waste anytime and followed Doyeon to where the security room.

Found someone inside my mother's room?

We got to the security room and the doctor of my mother was also there. They were looking at a footage.

"What's happening?" I asked as I went closer to see a person with a cap. The person was standing in front of my mother while she was all alone.

"We saw someone enter your mother's room. We couldn't clearly see the face but judging from her body ratio, it's definitely a she." The doctor said which made me a bit worried.

"Was she the reason why my mother—" I wasn't able to finish sh what I was saying again.

"No, I'm actually curious about something. Is she a relative of yours?" The doctor asked. I looked at Yuqi and Doyeon behind and both of them are also wondering.

"I have no relatives here in Beijing. Why?" I asked him back.

"Because if it wasn't for her, your mother would have been gone" The doctor replied, I suddenly felt cold and anxious, but who ever that was I'm sure she was someone who I should be thanking.
