二十三 // èrshí sān

The next week Haesup, Huiyin and I
spent our time with the
Nine Percent boys. It was a real
pity that we had to leave so fast.

"It's our last night together, before
they fly back to Korea!
Let's have some fun!"
Ziyi and Xukun said.
We all agreed and went into a
karaoke bar together.
"No, drinks for the minors!"
Zhengting quickly said.
"Don't be such a mom bro." Chengcheng said, which made us all laugh.

"Woa, Ni you have a really good singing voice!" Justin said excitedly.
"I used to take singing lessons."
I answered embarrassed.
"I think you could sing a duet with Nongnong!!" Xukun suggested.

The guys chose a song for us
and we ended up with
"How Much I Like You, You Would Know"
(The OP of the chinese drama A love so beautiful).

I was really embarrassing, but I felt happy singing that song with the person I
loved the most. Maybe.. I should
just confess? I know that he likes me too..
or does he?

We got a big round of applause and cheers.
"That performance just proved that you two
are a heavenly matched pair."
Ziyi smiled slightly.

"Guys, we still have to pack and it's
already 10 P.M. our flight is at 2 A.M."
Haesup said sounding like a mother.

The boys decided to escort us home and once again we had to bid a goodbye after
a long time of not seeing each other.
"Thank you guys. I'm glad I got to see
you all again." I told them softly.
"We missed you too. It's nice to reunite
with you again." Chengcheng said
patting my head.

"I will come again! But I'm only free after graduation, sorry. You'll have to wait for some months." I told them.
They assured me that they would wait for me.
We said our goodbyes and sadly I didn't
get the chance to talk to Linong privately,
but I still got to hug him and say goodbye.

"Ni, I can't believe we are already
graduating soon.. I'll miss school.."
Huiyin said in the plane, which we just
got into. I leaned my head on her shoulder.

"You said you hated school."
"I hate the lessons, but I'll miss the time I get to spend with you and Haesup."
"We can still hang out after that."
"But you said you wanted to attend a university in China!"
"Go with me!"
"Are you out of your mind?! I'm way too stupid for university..."
"Stop saying such things to yourself!
You're a smart girl, if you study you'll
do well!"

We kept silent after our little talk about school and university, but she stared again.
"Honestly, I do want to go with you..
but I know that I can't make it."

"Huiyin, let's make a promise.
I'll help you get into the university
we will choose, so stay with me.
Don't let me go alone, just stay with me.
I will pay for everything.
Rent, electricity, water bills, everything!
So please, stay with me. I don't
want to leave my best friend behind."

There didn't come anything from both of us for a while. Then I heard a slight sniff from the girl next to me. I smiled at her and wiped her tears away.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll make it!"
I told her, also in my eyes tears
started to form.
"I'll help too!" The optimistic boy behind us said and patted Huiyin's head.

"I love you guys so much.. thank you."
