STAND BY ME | soolia

S011

2:54 AM | same day

lia leaned against her bed. in one hand was the card, which she had received a few hours ago from that 'stranger,' and she was wearing the jacket soobin had given her.

lia was thinking about the recent events which had taken place.

"who are you...?" she murmured as she was engrossed in her thoughts. her eyes fixed on words written on the cards.

"WAIT!"

lia said as she sat straight quickly.

"maybe that man and soobin are really the same people?!" lia said, her eyes moving around the room as her thoughts were running in. she gasped, and she covered her mouth with her hands immediately when a wild thought entered her mind.

"wait... why did soobin approach me in the first place?! I mean... yeah, I did look in pain, but the back of the cafe is not really a big place... it's not easy for people to spot others there... also why in the world was he so sweet towards me?! yeah, soobin is an angel. we all know that! but.. the look in his eyes... it was different..."

her sight went towards the rose, which was given to her a few days ago by that 'stranger.' it was placed inside a blue transparent vase, filled with water.

lia gasped again.

"oh my God! that live! he talked about a girl he met in a cafe! I work in a cafe...." she said, hope filling inside of her.

"but I never saw him once..." lia pouted as she fell back, feeling disappointed that her theory didn't work out.

"BUT WAIT!" she said as she again sat straight, hands in the air, engrossed in her thoughts. she imagined a board in front of her as she tried connecting the dots.

"soobin said he likes being like others... he roams around like a normal person.... what if...." suddenly the clip of that man came into her mind. the scene in which those people were chasing him.

>"ugh! we lost him!"

>"je t'ai dit de garder les yeux ouverts!"

>"it's fine, we'll get him next time!"

she also remembered the encounter with soobin.

>"LÀ! LÀ!"

>"ATTRAPEZ-LE !"

"it seemed like both of them were getting chased..." lia gasped, "what if soobin has been visiting me THIS WHOLE TIME?! soobin NEVER mentioned that he met the girl at day or night! m-maybe uh-uh at night time he covers up himself so no one recognizes him?! I mean, I COVER UP MYSELF after leaving the cafe at night time,"

"a-also, I don't think that man was trying to be mean to me?! i think he purposely acted like that so that maybe, if i find out that he IS soobin, i won't end up hurting him or something!" she said as she had flashbacks of the man giving him gifts.

"OH MY GOD!!!" lia almost shouted as she covered her mouth and wheezed. she was happy her theory started making sens,"THE BLONDE VANILLA LATTE PART! HOW DID I MISS THIS??!!"

"not to mention, he gave me the ticket which is only limited to the staff!" lia further added and started moving in excitement.

"wait..... these gifts and hints.... does that mean.." lia paused.

"soobin likes me?!"

there was a short pause.

"AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" lia screamed her lungs out. she started dancing, fangirling and jumping on her bed. 

"soobin likes me, yeah! soobin like me~ yeah!" lia singed to her self. after saying each verse, she added a clap and did a short dance on it.

"HAHAHA!!"

lia froze. her sight went to her bedroom door and there she saw a boy, in his night suit, had messy hair and a wide grin on his face. he also had a phone in his hand.

it was blaise, and he was recording her.

lia's eyes widened and her face went red.

giggling, he stopped the recording. he leaned sideways on the door, his arms and legs crossed, "i thought you said you don't see him that way~ i guess i was right. you DO see him that way," blaise said, a playful smirk on his face.

"wha-what?! weren't you supposed to be-" lia stuttered, not knowing how to respond to him. 

there was a short pause.

"YOU ANIMAL!"

lia shouted as she jumped off the bed and leaned forward to catch him.

"WOAH!"

blaise shouted as he almost escaped from her grip. the two ran in the apartment.

the two circled around the kitchen counter. beomgyu in the kitchen and lia outside it.

"GET BACK HERE!" lia shouted.

"GRANDE, y-you look hella scary right now," blaise said.

"DELETE THAT VIDEO RIGHT NOW!" lia said as she attempted to run and catch him from the right but blaise ran in the opposite direction. now blaise was in the kitchen and lia was outside.

"oh this?" blaise held the phone in the air, "nahh! you gotta catch me first," he challenged her, a smirk playing on his lips.

"YOU-" lia jumped over the kitchen counter. blaise's eyes widened as he was not expecting that from her.

however, he was able to escape from her. but the man was scared as hell now.

"BABA!! HELP!!!" blaise said as he made a run for his room.

"BUHAHAHA! I HAVE ACQUIRED AURORA'S PSYCHOPATHIC NATURE! NOW YOU SHALL NOT ESCAPE!" lia let out a creepy-wicked witch-like laugh as blaise ran into his room.

blaise locked the door and ran to the side table and grabbed his phone. he dialed, arthur, his father's number, "pick up! pick up!" he murmured.

"hello?! baba! lia has lost her mind! she is after me!!" blaise said. his tone filled with fear and worry, "huh?! umm.. i didn't do anything! l-lia has just lost her mind like always," blaise lied, making himself look like the victim.

"uh, hello?!" arthur cut the call.

"ugh! why does father always side with lia!!!" blaise complained, but the man froze when his sight went to his bedroom door.

it was lia, standing with a wide grin on her face.

"uh oh,"
