A/N: Sooooo~ Surprise Surprise, Bet you weren't expecting dis >:3 This short tho ;-; Also, this is from a while ago, like the time thing- I hope you'll understand when you read it ._.

<[Quang]>

  I put my head in my hands, tears streaming down my face. This must be a joke. I see Miles staring at me.

  "I'm coming home," I say shakily into the phone, Miles' eyes widen and I sigh, Minh needs me, she needs me... I have to be strong.

  "Quang-"

  "Jing, I'm coming back... But is it a good idea?" I mumble, ignoring Miles.

  "It's your choice," Jing says. More tears well up into my eyes.

  "O-ok," I stutter, "I'll stay then, please make sure Minh is okay."

  "See you in 2 months," The call ends and my phone slips out of my hands, Miles picks it up and starts typing something.

  He holds it up with a sad smile on his face, "Even though I have no idea what happened, I bet Minh would have wanted this." Miles had sent her a message 'Love You'

  Almost automatically, she replies, 'Love you too' I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

  "Hey, what happened?" Miles asks softly, wiping away my tears.

  "Nothing of your concern," I mumble, standing up and walking to my room. I can feel Miles staring at me, but I ignore him, and shut the door. Flopping onto my bed, I stare at the ceiling, plain and bare. Back at home... Minh and I had stuck glow in the dark stars on the ceiling. I sigh, wishing I was home. I know she will be safe, but I can't help but to worry.

  A small smile flies across my face, appearing and disappearing just as fast. Don't those two, Jing and River, have a crush on Minh...?

  That's not good, that probably would put more pressure on Minh, making her feel more worse than now.

  I bury my head into my pillows, curling up. Maybe I should go home, Minh probably would need me. Endless possibilities run through my head. What if Minh didn't want me home, but what if she needs me? Will she be happy if I come home? A quiet knock from the door knocks me harshly out of my thoughts. As I look towards it, the door opens and Miles enters.

  I rebury my head, feeling the bed dip beside me. No words were exchanged, but I knew what he wanted, "My parents died." Instead of a verbal response, I got a physical one. Miles pulled me up into a hug, and tears started to stream down my face again. I'm such a mess, pulling away, I mumble, "I'm sorry."

  "What are you even apologizing for?" Miles says, wiping away my tears.

  "I'm sorry I snapped at you earlier," I say, looking down at the bed.

  "Oh, It's your personal business," he says, smiling.

  "Still-" but before I could say another word, he puts a finger against my mouth, and squeezes me to death.

  "I'm so in love with you," I hear him whisper, and my face turns red, all I do in response is bury my head into his chest. My phone pings.

  'Hey Quang, don't worry okay? I'll be fine.'

  You know what? Minh is strong. She'll be fine, and so will I.
