(ch.92)

Shu-hui started to laughed when he said that, they were confused about why he was laughing, Xaing asked why was he laughing. Shu-hui said "I'm laughing at what he said. I know that Bojing doesn't have a girlfriend, what kind of excuse is that," in a mocking tone.

Xaing gave him a death glare, "Ok ok, I bought this because I thought it was cute and, Shu-hui before you say anything, I packed it was you weren't looking," Bojing defend himself. Xaing and Shu-hui slightly nodded, trusting whatever he said.

A couple of minutes later, Chin whisper "What should we do," in a nervous tone as she showed Lai's text to him under the table.

Xaing made a stressed face, he said "I think you should go, it's more important than the concert," in a calm tone.

Chin made sad eye and said "I know but I also want to perform in the concert, if I don't then it'll be a waste of time practicing plus we said I get to perform to forgive you," in a discouraged voice as she just kept looking at her phone.

"If you want to perform that bad then I'll talk with Lai and see what we can do. By the way, did he tell me what time it'll start since the concert starts at 9:25 pm," Xaing asked in a serene tone? Chin slowly shook her head, he went on his phone as he starts to text Lai. Chin got a text from Bojing, she looked at him as he mouthed "Read it." She opened it, it said "Is everything okay? I heard a bit of the conversation between you and Xaing, you guys sound so sad and serious. I want to know the tea, can you tell me?"

Bojing could hear a long, stressful sigh from Chin, she texted back "Everything is fine, we're just talking about something important happening on the same day as the concert, that's all. No, you can't know the tea."

Bojing a few mad emojis and a text saying "Fine, you meanine." She just replied to him with a few eye-rolling emojis, he looked at her as she sighed and put her phone into the front pocket.

At 11 Xaing and Chin finally got home, Xaing told Chin to go to sleep since she has school tomorrow and Chin nodded. After they were ready for bed, Xaing yawned and went to sleep while Chin was sitting on her bed, she was on her phone, watching videos on Youku Tudou. In the middle of laughing at a video, she got a text from Bojing, which read "Why did you use my cologne?"

Chin replied "Because I didn't want to smell bad so that's the only thing I could find. Plus it doesn't smell bad, I like it."

"I know does but couldn't you find something else to make you smell good, you could make them suspicious, especially Xaing and Shu-hui." He answered.

"Oh well, it's not like we have something going between us." She messages him with a few expressionless face emojis.

He answered "Well you never know." with a few smirking emojis. He sent another text saying "By the way, why are you still up? It's past midnight." with a confused emoji. She was going to reply but then she heard a knock on her window, she was kinda scared since she was on the 10th floor but she shook it off, she thought it was probably in her imagination. She wrote "I'm not tired yet, what about you? Don't you have school tomorrow?"

"No, I have the next few days off to prepare for the concert." He answered.

She asked, "Do you have the next few days off or are you skipping school?"

"Okay fine, I'm skipping school but I can still stay in the top 10 in my whole school so it should be fine." He sent that text along with a shrug emoticon.

She texted him "How do you do so well?" with a few shocked emojis. After she texted him that message, she heard more knocks, she was scared since she can't see who or what was on her balcony. She thought Xaing or Zhe was pranking her, therefore she was going to see if both of them were sleeping. She went into Zhe's room first, she apologized, then flicked his upper cheek a few times, she got no response which means he's asleep. Next was Xaing, she did the same thing to him too, he also showed no response.

She went back to her room scared and nervous, she was too scared to be alone so without thinking, she texts Bojing "Are you still up?"

He replied, "Yeah, why?"

"Is it okay if we FaceTime?" She asked him, he agreed. She called him on her laptop since her phone was charging, she explains the situation. The first thing he asks is "Is there something knocking on your window or do you just want an excuse to call me," in a sarcastic tone with a smirk surface on his face.

"I'm not lying, I heard knocking from my window. Whatever, whether you believe it or not, I just don't want to be by myself," she told him in an annoyed tone as she made a fierce face.

He chuckled and said "Ok ok, fine. What do you want to talk about?"

"Umm, give me a second," she said in an easygoing tone as she leans a little and begins typing something, and he says "Mmm." She said "Ok here's a starter, who do you text the most," in a calm tone as she looks like she's reading off something.

''The person I text the most is my mom, what about you?" he said in a cheerful tone.

Chin told him "It used to be my mom but now it's one of my older brothers," in a calm tone with gloomy eyes.

Bojing was confused, he asked "What do you mean "used to"?"

"My mom went on a trip and we lose contact so yeah," she said in a cheerful tone with a weak smile. Chin moves out of the frame to do something.

Bojing could tell the sadness behind her smile but he didn't want to make her even sadder so he said "Oh ok, let's change the topic. Have you ever been caught in an embarrassing situation," in a curious, joyful tone with a bright smile on his face.

That made her smiled, she answered "Probably when I went into the shower room while you guys were in there and grabbed the wrong bag," in a light tone with a small giggle. He giggled with her, she said "Why did you have to bring that up? I'm already embarrassed enough," in a carefree tone with her joyful smile.

Bojing said "You might think that's the only thing you did embarrassing but I know something else you did embarrassing but you don't realize it," with a teasing tone and cheeky smile.

Chin was muddled and asked "What do you mean," in a confused tone.

He just said "I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be back," in a nervous tone and quickly ran away. She was so confused about what Bojing meant by she doesn't realize it and was annoyed that he just ran away like that. She was thinking about what she could have done to embarrass herself more. Even after 10 minutes, Chin couldn't think of anything and soon Bojing came back. As soon as she saw him, she asked "Bojing, what do you mean by you know something I did something else embarrassing?"

He just chuckled and said "You still don't realize it, I'll give you hint, it's in our chat," in a frank tone with a sweet smile. She scrolled in their chat looking for a humiliating text, after a minute or two her eyes widen. "I. Love. You!!" Her eyes read a message that she sent to him. She said out loud "Oh shit," in a shocked tone. He just laughed at her while she said "I didn't mean to send that to you, it was for my brother. Can we just pretend I didn't send that? How am I supposed to face you tomorrow," with an embarrassed tone.

"It's fine, we can just pretend you didn't do that," he told her in a reassuring tone. She breathes a sigh of relief, he asked "What do you want to do now," in a calm tone.

Chin yawned and said "I think I'm going to sleep, what about you," in a tired tone as she stretched. "I think I'm going to sleep too," in a sleepy tone as he got under his blanket. Chin replied "Ok, goodnight," in a calm tone and turn off her audio and camera.

Bojing said "Wait, can you leave your camera and audio on. I want to see that beautiful face when I wake up," in a sarcastic tone with a teasing smile.

Chin turned her audio and said "Creep," in a joyful, annoyed tone as she turned on the camera. He saw her with a warm smile, she added "Ok ok let's go to sleep now," in-between little giggles while getting under her blanket and they both went to sleep.

Bojing heard someone groan and quietly yelling for help. He woke up, looked around, he saw that it was Chin, she has a frightened face as she drenches in sweat. "Chin, wake up! Wake up," he quietly shouted in a nervous tone with a frustrated face but she didn't wake up. Bojing couldn't do anything except tell her to wake up and watch her suffer from a dreadful nightmare, after a few minutes, Chin woke up gasping for air and sat up with wide eyes.

"Finally! Chin, are you okay? Take a deep breath in and then out," Bojinh said with a comforting tone as she breathes in and out. After a couple of minutes, she calms down, Bojing asked "Are you feeling better?"

"Yeah, thanks," she answered as she nodded, she added "I'm going to take a shower, I'll call you back if you want," with a calm tone. "Mmm," he answered her then she hung up. Bojing was worried about Chin, she looks so scared like her nightmare happened in real life, but he told himself why should he worry about her, he doesn't even know much about her. While Chin was under the hot shower water, she to herself how embarrassed she is that she doesn't know how to face Bojing. First, she accidentally takes his bag, wears his clothes, texted him "I love you", sleeps on FaceTime with him, and has him witness her having a nightmare, then he helps you calms down. She frowned as she thought "What's next, huh, accidentally calling him at the wrong time?"

She was embarrassed and mad at herself for doing so many embarrassing things, she just wants to be swallowed by the ground but then she turned the cold to get her mind off of him. After a few minutes, she slowly turns the water back to hot water, she was thinking "Why did I have that dream again? I haven't had nightmares for the past 8 years, why and how did it come back?" She begins to feel lightheaded but she thought she was thinking too much so she got her mind off of it and soon she got out and went into her room.

Once she has her school uniform on, she called Bojing, since she told him that she'll call him when she was done with her shower, when he answered but he wasn't in the frame. She said "Bojing, are you there," in a confused tone as she just stared at the wall, she heard an "Mmm." She asked, "What are you doing that you let me stare at a wall?"

She went to grab something when she sat back down on her bed, she saw Bojing sat down, shirtless. She said "Jeez, put on a shirt," with annoyance as she frowned.

He answered her "Well I was changing so yeah. Don't girls usually cover their eyes and scream if they saw a shirtless guy," with a teasing tone as he grins at her.

As she put on a gray rabbit bath headband, she told him "Well I live with a bunch of the guys so I'm used to seeing guys, you know, shirtless. So I don't see what the big deal is," in an unbothered tone, then she begins to put creams on her face, arms, and legs.

"You don't mind dealing with one more guy," as he smirks, she just rolled her eyes then back to applying her creams. Bojing laughed and added "Ok ok. By the way, you have the same headband as me," in a calm tone as he grabs his headband and put it on. When Chin looked, she saw that he had the same headband her, she said "So? It does mean anything," as she continues with her creams.

"Uugh, dude, who are you talking to so early in the morning," a guy said in a grumpy, sleepy voice. Before Bojing said anything, the guy added "Wait, is it Aunt Lin? I want to talk to her, it's been a long time since I talked to her," he said in an excited tone and quickly rushed next to Bojing. Chin was nervous when she saw Shu-hui, Shu-hui was shocked when he saw her, they both stare at each other for a few seconds. Eventually, Chin said "Hi, Shu-hui," in a calm tone with an awkward wave.

"Umm, hi, Chin," he replied in an awkward tone and wave back with an awkward smile. He whispered to Bojing "Why didn't you tell me that it was Chin, not your mom, you know how embarrassing that was," in an upset tone. Chin interpreted and utter "You know I can hear you," she added "And FYI, you assumed things before he could tell you anything so yeah" in a bold tone.

Shu-hui just runs his fingers through his hair and utter "I'm going to be back to my room," with a calm tone as he walked away. Chin and Bojing just laughed for a minute, she said "He's cute," in a cheerful tone as she calms herself down from laughing. She added, "But anyway I have to go do other things."

"Wait, before you end the call, I have a question," in a calm tone as she nodded, giving him a sign to continue, he added "Would you date Shu-hui," in a curious tone.

Without hesitation, she reveals "Yeah. I mean why not, he's my type plus he's only a year older than me," in a confident tone, she asked, "Is that it?"

He replied "Mmm," so they said their goodbyes to each other and then hung up. Chin was watching videos, after she was done brushing her hair, to waste time while doing some homework. At 5 pm, Xaing picked up Chin and went back to the address that Mr. Zhao texted them, Chin asked "Where are we going?"

"Somewhere," with no emotion as he focuses on the road, she didn't ask furthermore. When she was backstage, she asked "Wait, this is where we're going to perform," in an excited tone as she looked around. Xaing nodded as Mr. Zhao shouted "Come on, you guys, let's get practicing. We don't have all day to chat, this concert is happening in 2 days. And the people that just came from school, please change out of your uniform, there's changing stalls in the changing room," in a dignified tone as he points to two rooms.

A few guys and Chin was going towards one of the rooms, Shu-hui asked her if she's going to the other room, she told him "No, it should be fine as long as the stalls' door lock then I should fine," with no feelings as she walks calmly with Bojing's bag. Chin and Bojing tried to change as they could so they can switch bags, they saw that the rest was still changing when they peeked their heads out. As they were doing that, a guy came out from the changing stalls, he asked "Why are you guys switching bag," in a curious tone while looking at them confused.

"Oh we accidentally bumped into each other and dropped our bags so we're just giving each other's bag back to each other," Bojing said with a reassuring tone as he grabs his bag from Chin and Chin did the same thing. the guy just said "Ok..." in an unsure tone as he left, leaving his bag on the ground of the room. Bojing and Chin quickly left to practice, also leaving their bags in the room but he's was on the ground while her's was in one of the chairs.
