The Promise Ring (NCT Renjun FF)

Eighteen

Renjun's POV:
It's been a few days since I visited Lei, we have been very busy because of some photo shoot and some shootings. I really wanted to visit Lei but her manager always stop me.

"Renjun are you okay? You've been staring at the wall for 5 minutes now" Mark hyung said and I nodded

"Yeah I'm just worried about Lei, you know" I said and he smiled

"Aishh You just have a crush on her" My eyes widen and shook my head

"No!!" I said and he show me his 'I don't believe you' smile

"Are you sure?" He asked and I nodded

"Are you sure sure?" I rolled my eyes and nodded again

"Really? Hmm?" He wiggled his brows and I sighed

"Why would I have a crush on my girlfriend?!" I angrily asked and his eyes widen

"Mwo?! Girlfriend?! Lei's your girlfriend?!" He asked and my eyes widen

'I should tell him' I thought and sighes

"Yeah she's been my girlfriend for a couple of weeks now" I said and he squeak

"Everybody Renjun has a girl-" I shut his mouth

"YAH! Don't tell everybody, it's still a secret" I said and he nodded

"Okay then, does the members know?" I shake my head and he proudly smiles

"Then I'm the first one then" He said and I rolled my eyes 

"Yeah because you force me on having a crush on my own girlfriend" I said and he nodded

"So that's why you two had been sneaking out, I saw you guys one time when I was about to get some water, I saw you both going out the door. Where did you go?Hmm? Tell me" Me and Lei always sneak out and go to a simple date like: going to the beach, going to a cafe near by, and maybe just walking around and telling each other what we were doing for the past 2 years.

"Ohh you sneaky little kid" He said and I smiled

"What can I say you have to take risk when you love someone" I said and he clap his hand

"Wow word of wisdom, everybody!" He said and I roll my eyes

"Oh yeah by the way where are the others?" I asked, we were in the living room alone.

"They are in the beach trying to do sun bathing" I chuckled and he nodded

"Yeah, it's true I even saw Chenle with sunblock on" I nodded and we decided to watch some movies while waiting for the others

Lei's POV:
I open my eyes and saw my whole family, my eyes widen and Mom smiles.

"Dear...good thing you woke up" I smiled and Min held my hand

"Are you okay?" I nodded and she wipe a tear

"Aish don't cry~" I whined and she chuckles

"Lei.."Dad said and I look at him

"Yes Dad?" I asked and he sighed

"Your condition is getting worst, Lei due to this illness your heart is really having a hard time pumping blood" My eyes widen and Mom starts to stroke my hair

"It's okay you can go home with us back to China and then you can get you treated there" What about Renjun?

"I-I c-can't" I said and the let out a confused face

"Why?" Dad asked and I look down

"I met Renjun again.." I said and I heard Mom gasp

"And then?" Min asked and I look at her

"We got back together.." I said 

"I don't want to leave him like he did to me...I don't want him to be left like me, I don't want him to feel the same thing as I felt when he left me" I continued and tears started to to fall out of my eyes

"I know dear but your illness is getting worst..Either you are going to leave Renjun or never going to meet him again" Dad  said and I look at him

"But Dad..." I started and he shook his head

"Renjun..He will understand what you're going through dear, he's a good boy. He knows that you're going to leave him because it's for you" Dad continued and I look down

"You have to tell him, okay? But don't tell him about you condition, you know him.."Mom said and I slowly nodded

"I'm going to tel Renjun to visit you today" I nod again

"I'm here for you" Min said and kiss my cheeks, I smile and she handded me the paper bag when I first fly to Korea

"You never opened it" She said and I smiled

"I wanted to wait for the right moment" I said and look at the paper bag

"What's this?" I asked and open the paper bag, there was a box

I look back up but Min was gone. I put the paper bag aside and put the box on my lap. I open the box and my eyes widen.

" I thought I burnt this?" I asked, it was my memories with Renjun...The flower he gave when I was about to do my first surgery, our old photos from before, our love letters to each other during valentines day, the little teddy bear he won for me during the school fair, and lastly the letter that he gave to me before he left.

Tears started to flow out of my eyes as I look through our memories together, it was all happy not a single sad memory. 

"I have to do it...I have to leave Renjun" I said and I heard a gasp, I look at the direction and it was Renjun

"Renjun listen.." I said and he sigh

"Soo you're going to say goodbye to me?" He asked and I reach out for his hand but he pulled it back.

"So you agreed to be my girlfriend just to seek for revenge for what I did for you?" My eyes widen and I continuously shake my head

"Just listen Renju-" He sighed and look at me as if I am a liar

"Your lying to me right now" He said 

"No why would I be lying to you?" I asked 

"I don't know maybe because you don't love me?" He asked I shake my head

"You know it's not true Renjun" He chuckles and he look at his hand

"Well I guess it was a mistake getting back together then" My eyes widen and he take off his promise ring

"As you know I never take his off when we started going out" He throw the ring at me and tears started falling out my eyes

"Well I guess I have to leave you AGAIN" He said and emphasize 'Again' 

"Renie.." I said and broke down in tears
