(ch.15)

Chin just smacked her forehead and said "Um, let's just say, my auntie flow is here," with a calm tone as she sat back on the couch.

Jinyu and Lai were confused and Lai asked "We had an auntie flow?"

She just sighed and said "My period is here," with an annoyed tone.

Jinyu asked, "You mean the dot that goes a the end of a sentence, what about it?"

Chin looked at all of them, they still have a confused look, she shouted "OMG, Jinyu I expected you to know at least but no you don't. I'll explain what a period is to you guys.A period or a menstruate cycle is when a buildup of the lining of the uterus that supposed to gets ready for a baby. If there's no baby, then the tissue, blood, and egg flow from the uterus through a small opening in the cervix and pass out of the body through the vagina, which makes girls bleed so a girl wears a pad to catch the blood. While a girl is on her period, she'll have cramps, which is when the uterus contracts to help get rid of the lining and it painful. Some other things that happen while going through a period are mood swings, bloating, and breast tenderness but some girls don't experiment these. Ways that I know that helps is eating chocolate, heating packs on the lower abdomen, and the biggest one don't do anything to make a girl mad while in her period or you guys WILL be dead meat. A menstrual cycle happens every month for about 7 days, if it doesn't then it can mean two things, pregnancy or a change in the body's habits. Does that explain what a period is," with a stressed tone as she took the pack of pads from Jinyu.

They all nodded with a traumatized face, she asked "Are you guys okay? Why do you guys look so traumatized, you guys need to know this if you guys what to take care a girl, especially you two, Jinyu and Bojing. How do you expect to take care of a girl if you don't even know about periods? Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go change my pad," as she left with her pads. She saw Xaing standing by the dining table, she greeted him as she went to the bathroom.

As she was staring at herself in the mirror after use the bathroom, her face was turning red as she thought more about how she just told a bunch of guys about periods and now they must be so grossed out. Chin washed her hands ad quickly ran to her room without looking any other direction.

Chin heard Lai shout for her to eat dinner, Chin went to eat dinner, she saw that Bojing was still there. She asked "What is Bojing still doing here," as she took a seat.

Lai gently kicked her and glared at her, she hissed from the pain, he said "You should be thanking him for saving you instead of complaining."

"Ok ok, you didn't need to kick me," she complained, she looked at Bojing and said "Thank you for saving me today," with no sincerity. Lai said "Chin!" She resaid "Thank you, Bojing, for saving me today," with a fake sincere tone.

Bojing said "Ok, no need to force yourself to say it again, I know you don't mean it," in a calm tone.

Xaing said "Ok, enough talking, we should eat before the food gets cold," they started to eat. After they ate, Bojing said that he should be going back to his house, Lai asked "Are you sure you don't want to stay the night, it's already late," in a curious tone. Bojing thanked him for the offer but he said he has to go home or his roommate will worry. As they send him out, Xaing told him "You're welcome here anytime."

Lai said "Ok, Chin you should be going to sleep, you have school tomorrow," as he walked into his room. She got ready for bed, while she was watching videos in bed, she could hear her brother and Zhe arguing.

He entered Chin's room, Chin said "You and Zhe argued, huh" in a calm tone as he nodded. "So you came here to spend the night because you don't want to be in the same room as Zhe," he nodded again. She taps on her bed for him to come to lay down, Lai said "I can just sleep on the ground if you want me to," in a calm tone.

She said "No, it's fine, just come on my bed. It's been almost two years since I got to lay next to you," in a sincere tone as Lai came to lay next to her.

Lai expands his arm and asked "Can I," as he looked at her with curiosity, she nodded so he hugged her and she hugged him back. He said "Did you get chubbier? Last time I held you like this, I could feel your ribs," in a sarcastic tone.

She gently hit him and said "Hey!! That's not nice, so what if I gain a few pounds," in an upset tone as pulled away to look at him with a pouting face.

He smiled and replied "Nothing, it's a good sign. You look healthier and prettier with the pounds you gain," with a sincere tone, he pulled her back for a hug.

Chin said "You shouldn't be talking about me, you have gotten skinnier. Have you been eating," in a worried tone.

He hesitantly said "Not really, while working, I have been eating little and drinking mostly coffee," with a quiet tone.

She said, "Hey, that's not good for your health" with an upset tone.

He giggled and said "Don't worry, I'm done with the sculpture, I will start eating like before since I don't have to stress about getting a sculpture done for a client," in an assured voice as he pats her back. She nodded as she hugged him tighter. After a few minutes of hugging in silence, Lai told her "Ok, enough of hugging, let's go to sleep. You have to sleep or you might not want to wake up tomorrow," in a gentle tone, and they both laid on their backs.

Chin answered "Fine, let's go to sleep" in a tired tone, then she yawned. They heard a "ding" sound from Chin's phone when she looked, it as Bojing, he texted "Are you still up?" She texted back "I was about to go to sleep, why are you texting me this late?"

"Who is it," Lai asked in a curious tone as he tried to look at her phone.

She quickly angles her phone so he doesn't see her screen, she answered "No one," in a nervous tone as she gave a panicked look.

That made Lai even more curious, he grins and said "You're lying, let me see," in an excited tone as he tries to grab her phone. She moved all over the place so he doesn't get her phone, then he tickles her waist, while she was distracted he grabbed her phone. He quickly looked at the texts, he whispers "Are you still up?" Then you replied "I was about to go to sleep, why are you texting me this late?" Chin who are you text," in a curious tone as he looked at her.

She answered "A friend, it's a friend. Now give me my phone" in a calm tone as she tries to take her phone.

He questioned "Just a friend right," as she nods, he added "Ok, let me read what you guys text about," in an excited tone.

She knows that there was nothing weird about their texts so she said "Fine, go ahead. My friend and I text like how friends text," in a confident tone. She just laid, staring at the ceiling as Lai was reading the texts between Bojing and her, she didn't care about the texts cause she knows they didn't text anything interesting. After a few minutes, Chin felt him moving, he was sitting up, she asked "See there's nothing interesting, now give my phone back," in a relaxed tone as she sat up while sticking her hand out.

Lai took a breath in and he calmly said "Qing Chin!," in an upset tone as her excitement went to confused. He continues "First of all, what is wearing each other's clothes about? Second of all, why did you text your friend or should I say, Bojing, "I love You" with red hearts, FaceTime him for 4 hours, again after 1 hour. I don't think you they are just friends, are you guys dating," in an amazed tone as he got out bed. As Chin was about to defend herself, Zhe, Jinyu, and Xaing burst in and shouted "What did you say?!"

No matter what she said they didn't believe her, she said "Since you guys don't believe me, I'll call him to confirm it," in an upset tone, they said ok so she called him. "Did you miss me, beautiful," Bojing answered in a flirty voice?

Chin panicked and said "Be quiet! Okay, I need to ask a question," in a serious tone, he hummed. She continues "Are we dating," in a tense tone as she looked at the guys, surrounding her.

He was quiet for a few seconds, he said "Why would you ask that," in a confused tone. Just as she was going to say something, he shouted "Of course we are," in an excited tone.

Chin shouted "Bojing!" Lai said "See I knew it, she is dating him," in a proud tone.

Jinyu said "Give me your phone I want to talk to him," in a serious tone, she slowly gave him her phone, then he went outside her room. She looked at them, Lai was happy, Xaing and Zhe looked confused, and it seems like Jinyu was mad. She has no clue what she should do anymore, all she knows is that she is going to kill Bojing.

When Lai has calm down, Jinyu came back in, he said "I already deal with him and don't even bother asking what I said to him. Okay everyone time to go to sleep, now leave." with a cold tone as Xaing and Zhe followed behind.

As soon as they left her room, she said "Let's go to sleep," in an unhappy tone, then she laid down, facing her back to Lai as she cover herself with a blanket. Lai laid down, turned off the lamp, then went to sleep. Around 4 am, Chin woke up the same way she always does, when she looked at her brother, he was still sleeping so she quietly got up to go take a shower.

After school, Chin kept bugging her brother to take her to buy a drink at a cafe, he gave in and got up.While they were walking, Chin suggested "Let's go get something to drink while we walk, especially so you don't look so sleepy," in a joyful tone as he nodded. Lai got a Banana Milk Coffee and Chin got a warm ginger tea, as they were walking out the door, Chin bumped into someone, making her slip her drink all herself, it doesn't help that she's wearing a white. She heard a familiar voice apologizing, when she looked, it's nobody else than Bojing, he said "Oh hi, Chin, sorry for this," in an apologetic tone.

She quickly said "Hi and bye," in an upset tone with a frown on her face as she covers her chest with her arms, walking out of the cafe with Lai.

Bojing followed them, he said "Chin, I told you that I'm sorry," with an apologetic tone, grabbing her shoulder as Shu-hui went to go get their drinks.

She looked at him and asked "What are you going to do about this? I need to go home to change my shirt before I get more embarrassed," in a furious tone as she glares at him.

Bojing asked "How far do you guys live from here," with a calm tone, Lai told him that they live about 35 minutes from there. He told them "Oh ok, how about you guys come to my and Shu-hui's apartment since we live 5 minutes from here so I can give Chin a shirt to change into," in a calm tone as Lai and Chin looked at each other, then nodded, agreeing.

As they were walking to their apartment, Chin asked "Why did you say that we're dating when I asked you yesterday," with an annoyed tone.

He answered "Well I didn't know that your brothers were there plus I said it as a joke," in an upset tone with a pout on his face.

"Oh by the way, what did my brother tell you? If he said anything insulting to you, I'm sorry," she told him in an apologetic voice.

Bojing just smiled and said "I can't tell you what your brother told me," in a relaxed tone, then he took a sip of his drink. "How did your brothers find out about our texts," he asked in a curious tone with a confused look on his face looking at Chin.

Chin just sighed and told him "The guy behind me saw me texting you when you texted me last night so he distracted me, took my phone, and started to read from the beginning to the end. I told him that you were just a friend but after reading the texts he said that he thinks we're more than friends since our texts seem more like lovers," in a calm tone as he looked behind her, looking at Lai.

Behind Bojing and Chin, Shu-hui whispered "Wait, really? Their texts are like lovers," in a curious tone as he lends towards Lai with a smirk.

Lai whispers back "Yeah, I know I even saw that they called for 3 hours, from 12 am to 3 am. I even saw her text him "I love you," her excuse was that it was an accident," with an excited tone, then they giggled.

Chin clears her throat and commented "You know I can hear you guys, right," with an annoyed tone without turning at him. When they got to their apartment, Bojing went to his room, he came out with a black shirt with funny colorful, cartoon dinosaurs, he said "Here, you can wear this," with a calm tone but Chin could tell he was trying not to laugh.

She frowned at him as she took his shirt and asked "Where's the bathroom," in a calm tone as he pointed down the hall.

When she went into the bathroom, Bojing busted out laughing, Shu-hui asked "Dude, isn't that a little mean? You rarely wear that shirt because you said that it looks childish and kinda ugly," in a calm tone as he sat on the couch. He nodded and said "That's the whole point," as he tries to get himself under control.

Lai just lends on the couch, shaking his head, and said "Omg, Bojing, you're so childish. I think that shirt would match you well," in a disappointed tone.

Bojing stopped laughing and said "Hey, that hurts," in an offended way, he saw Shi- hui and Lai's eyes filled with sparkles as they staring at something. He turns around to see Chin, she looks so stunning that he couldn't take his eyes off of her. Chin asked "Are you guys okay? Do I look that bad," in a concerned tone as she was looking down at her outfit.

Bojing snaps back to reality, he stutters "I'm fine, it makes you look like a child," in a flustered voice as he frowned, turn towards Shi-hui and Lai. Shu-hu and Lai told her that she looks beautiful and that Bojing was just joking. Shi-hui said "It's close to dinner time, why don't you guys stay for dinner," in a generous tone as he looks at Chin and Lai.

"We'll love-" Chin quickly covers her brother's mouth and answers "Thanks but we have to get back home or it'll get too dark," in a thankful tone as she took her shirt and drags Lai to the front door. Before she closes the door she noted "Thanks for the shirt, Bojing, I'll return your shirt. I'll kill you if you tell people that we're dating," then she closes the door.

As they were walking outside, Lai asked "Do you want to walk or take a taxi back home," in a curious tone as his eyes went to her.

She answered "Umm, let's just walk," in a calm tone as she walks ahead as Lai just followed.

Lai sniffs the air and asked "What is that smell? It smells really good," in a curious tone as continues to sniff around.

Without thinking, she said "Oh it's the cologne that Bojing wears, it's Creed Aventus if you want to buy it" with no emotions as she looks like she was talking without realizing.
