(ch.33)

After a week, Lai, Zhen, and Chin had moved out of Yu and Xaing's apartment, Chin laid on her bed and thought about how her life changed from being a normal girl to someone famous's sister and even has her own fans. "Chin, come help us over boxes," Lai yelled. Chin went to help, she saw a box that didn't have a name, so she was going to check a box to see whose stuff it is, but Lai stopped her.

He shouted "Don't touch that box," in a nervous tone.

"Why? It's just a box," Chin mumbled confusedly.

Lai nervously smiled and said, "I'll take that box." Chin just stared blankly as she watched him carry the box away. Chin got another box that her name to her room. After the whole day, they had everything set up in their apartment, Chin whined to her brother, "Brother, I'm so hungry!"

"Let's go eat out for today. I'll buy groceries tomorrow," in a calm voice as they all got ready a left. They went to a restaurant that was kinda well known, Chin asked "Brother don't we have to reserve a room before coming," with a confused tone.

"I already reserve a room earlier, so no need to worry," Lai noted in a lighthearted voice. After they order food, Zhe asked "How are things with Hong?"

Lai sighed "I don't know, I've been busy to check on," in a down tone.

"Why doesn't Chin go to her place since Chin is on summer break and she's home all day," Zhe suggested.

Lai looked at her, she answered "Yeah, I can go tomorrow to check on her," in an assured tone.

That made Lai smile and exclaimed "Thanks, Chin, for going to check on her," in a thankful voice. After the food came, they just ate and talked about things. When they get home, they sat on the couch for a bit, then there was a knock, Chin opened the door, there was Yu, Xaing, Ming, Sun. They all shouted "Surpised!"

Lai said "Thanks, you guys. Why didn't you guys call ahead? We don't have any food in our apartment yet so I can't make dinner for you guys," in an apologetic voice coming to stand next to his sister.

"No, it's fine, we already ate before coming so no worries," Yu stated.

Xaing marked "Let's celebrate you guys getting an apartment," in an excited tone as he showed the bags filled with alcohol.

Lai giggled and gushed "Aww, thanks but I have work tomorrow."

"Come on, a few drinks won't hurt," Sun noted in a lighthearted voice.

Zhe blurted "Fine, come in," as they came in. Lai gave him a worried look, Zhe whispered "Some drinks won't hurt plus we should celebrate a little bit," in an assured tone, giving a peak on his forehead. All of the adults started to drink and get drunk as Chin just sat there watching all of them drink and talk.

A while later, Lai marked "I'm going to sleep, I'm so tired, goodnight," as he wobbled to his room.

"Me too," Zhe added as he followed Lai. Chin helped Ming and Sun to the extra bedroom. She made Yu and Xaing stand up for a second as she made the couch in a bed, then covered them with an blanket. Chin sighed in exhaustion, then just went to her room as she texted her friends, "You guys, I've moved to a new place, so now, I have to change schools."

Mei Zhen replied, "Why didn't you tell us early?"

"Because I didn't have wifi for a few days, so I couldn't text you guys."

Jai Li joined and asked, "Do you know which school you're going to for high school?"

"No, I'll tell you guys as soon as I know."

Mei Zhen texted "Ok, ok, I have to go babysit now."

Jai Li asked, "I wonder what Da-Chung is up to, she hasn't replied to our texts?"

"I'm here, I can't text because I'm holding my fussy brother," Da-Chung sends a voice message with a baby crying in the background.

"Did you try to burp him? Change his diaper? Fed him? Comforted him?" Jai Li asked.

Da-Chung answered "Yes," in a stressed tone.

"Let's call and see if Mei Zhen answers since she's the one that has younger siblings," Chin suggested. Then there was a call, Chin joined the call, she only see Da-Chung and Jai Li. Chin said "Let's just wait."

After a few seconds, Mei Zhen joined the call and she asked "Why are you guys calling?" while holding

Da-Chung asked "Mei Zhen, do you know how to make my brother stop fussing. I changed his diaper, fed him, burped, and even tried to comfort him," in a stressed tone.

"Try to swaddle him," Mei Zhen suggested.

Da-Chug asked "How do I do that?" confused.

Mei Zhen sighed and marked "Da-Chung, just watch a video online." She just awkwardly giggled, she tried to look for a video as fast as she can while rock her brother. After she swaddle him, he stopped crying as Da-Chung was shocked. She asked "Mei Zhen, how did you know and why did he stop crying when I swaddled him?"

"You think I learned nothing from babysitting all the time? Well I did. The reason he stopped cry was because the swaddling cloth keeps the baby feeling secure and it creates a cozy, womb-like feeling," Mei Zhen stated while rocking a baby.

Chin asked "Mei Zhen, is that your sibling?"

"No, this is my cousin. My sister and brother are sleeping," as she move aside, revealing two kids, about 1 or 2 years old, sleeping on a bed. Mei Zhen asked "Jai Li, did you ever find your sister?"

Jai Li smiled and answered "Yeah, her name is Dong-Mai, she's 25, she works at the company Xaing also works. My parents have a picture of her, but they won't let me see it," in a calm voice.

Chin gasped and started "I think I might know her, a girl that is the same age and name helped me with the outfits for Xaing's concert," in a shocked tone.

"Can you take me to see her?" with a desperate face.

Chin sighed and marked "I don't know if I can since they might think I brought a crazy fan plus in my contract, I can't let people outside of the company see future songs or idols," in a quiet voice.

Jai Li nodded, understanding, as she mumbled "It's fine." Suddely, a child started to cry calling their sister. Mei Zhen quickly put her cousin on her bed, then picked up her brother and a bottle from a min frigde, and started to feed the child. Mei Zhen apologized "Sorry to interrupt. Anyways, I have to go now," and left the call.

"Me too. I have to take my brother to his bed," she also left.

Jai Li added "I'm tired so I'm going to sleep," hanging up the call. Chin just sighed as she looks down and begin to cry, being haunted by that horrible night. After that night, she went into a depression, felt still felt really disgusted and worthless with herself, hated herself for not able to protect herself, and that just made her want to die. Chin want to die but she didn't want leave her brothers, that just made her more sad. 'Ring ring' it was coming from her phone, without looking, she answered "Hel- hello?" in each sob.

"Why are you crying, Chin?" a guy's voice asked.

She looked at the caller ID, it was Bojing, she answered "Bojing, it's nothing," trying to stop crying.

"Chin, stop lying, I'm not that dumb. What's wrong? I promise to tell no one, if I ever do, you can cut off tie with me or do whatever to me. Just tell why you're crying," in a serious then soft voice.

Chin was quiet fo a moment, she didn't know what she should tell him, she answered "You can't tell anyone, even my brothers. You must keep this to yourself and never spoke of this unless we're alone," in a slowly way. He agreed, Chin quickly said "I was gang rape and I want to die," then hung up, her heart was racing of nervousness and embarrassment. Now she was sure the Bojing is disgusted with her, biggest of all, she really regrets telling him.

Bojing started to call her, but when that didn't work, he started to spam her with texts, telling her to answered him. She saw his texts but just ignored them, worrying that he's going say hateful things, and just crying all over again.

That night, Chin didn't sleep until 3 am, but her sleep wasn't good to, she dreamed about the same thing she have dreamed of for the few past months. Chin woke up at 6, soaked in her own sweat, with the sun light hitting her eyes. After she made hangover porridge, she went to wake up Lai and Zhe, "Hey, you guys wake up, don't you guys have work?"

Lai and Zhe jumped up, Lai asked "What happened last night?" in a shocked tone, then he rubbed his head.

Zhe was doing the same as he asked "Yeah, what happened? Chin, how many did we drink?"

"A lot, but I made hangover porridge for you guys. You guys can eat without me, I'm not hungry," she answered before leaving to watch the others up. While others were eating, Chin was just laying on her bed, in her thoughts. She didn't know if she call Bojing, text him, meet up with him, act like she didn't tell him, or ignore him.

"Chin!!"

She snapped "What?" in a shocked tone as she sat up, seeing her brother standing in front of her.

"Why weren't you answering? I called you so many times," he said in a bit of an annoyed tone. "Why are you crying?" he asked in a worried voice.

Chin touched her face, there was steaks of water, she wipe the tears dry and answered "It's nothing, I just miss Jinyu."

Lai came to sit next to her and assured "Don't worry, I'm sure he'll be coming home soon for summer." Chin nodded. After a second, he stated "Come on, are you ready? We're leaving for work, if you're ready, I can drop you off at Hong's."

Chim smiled and shook her head, "It's fine, I'm not even ready plus I can just take a taxi or walk to her place."

He nodded and hummed, "Just be careful, if anything happens call me," she nodded, then he left. After Chin got ready, she stepped outside and mumbled to herself "It's cold and gloomy day for summer." She sighed before heading to Hong's place on her skateboard. As she got closer to Hong's, she felt really anxious since she has to go pass Xaing's and Yu's apartment complex. Chin breath a sigh of relief when she didn't see Bojing, but then she heard someone yelled her name. When she looked back, it was Bojing running after her, in a panic she speed up.

She kept looking back causing her to crash into someone and she fell on the ground as other people shared at them in confusion. Chin started say "I'm so sorry, are you ok?" standing up to help the other person.

The other person answered "I'm ok, please just watch where you're going next time," grabbing her hand. Bojing finally caught up to Chin, "Fin- fin- finally, I- I caught up to you," out of breath. Chin and the random guy just stared at him, the guy stated "Anyways, just watch where you're going next time," and left.

Chin tried to run away again, but Bojing grabbed her wrist and asked "Chin, stop ignore me. We need talk about what you said yesterday," in a serious voice.

"Let's talk another day, I need to go somewhere," in a pleading tone.

"When?"

Chin sighed and stated "About tomorrow, let's meet at your place, text your place." He nodded, so she left. Soon she got Hong's place, she knocked and a bawling Hong opened the door. Chin sked "Why are you crying, Hong?" in a worried tone as they sat on Hong's couch.

Hong sobbed "I don't why I'm so anxious today, because today we'll be getting the results today for the paternity test," in a nervous voice.

"Don't worry, I'm sure everything will okay," patting her head.

"What if he doesn't actually want the babies? What am I going to do with two kids? What if I find out he's not the father of the babies?" with a scared expression.

Chin was shocked by Hong's questions but she respond "Hong, don't overthink it. If we find he's not the dad, there so many people that will be there for you. When do you have to be there?"

After Hong stopped crying, she answered "Well Xiu Ying and I agreed to be there at 10 am," in a calm tone. Chin checked the time, it was about 30 past nine, Chin said "You have to be there in 30 minutes," in a nervous tone. Hong jump and went to get ready, especially make sure she didn't look like she was crying.

Hong was done, she asked "Do what to go with me to the hospital?" Chin nodded since she knows that Hong will need encouragement. While driving, Chin could see how nervous Hong was, she was also kinda nervous herself. Xiu Ying was already at the hospital waiting for Hong with an annoyed face, but Chin could tell he was also really nervous.

When the nurse call them, Chin asked "Do you want me to go in wth you?"

Hong gently smiled and whispered "No need, I got this and I'll let you know the results," and went into the room with Xiu Ying. As each minute pass, Chin felt more anxious, then someone tapped her and she saw it was Hong. She stood up and asked "How did it go?" in a worried tone.

A smile appeared on Hong's face as she answered "The results are that Xiu Ying is the father of both babies and the doctor even said that it's very accurate since it took a week," with a satisfied voice. Chin smiled big and hugged her as she congerated her. They heard someone loudly clear his throat behind them, they looked at Xiu Ying.

He asked "Hong, can I speak to you somewhere else?" in a serious, but soft, tone.

"Fine, let's go and my little sister will also be present with me," in a stren voice, he nodded. They walk to a cafe that is near, got their drinks, and sat down. Hong asked "What do you want to talk about?"

"It's about our babies..." before he could finish, Hong giggled.

She corrected "When did it become 'our' babies? Last time I checked it was 'my' babies since you didn't want them," in a cheerful voice with some bitterness.

He continued "Well since now it shows that I'm the father, I want to be involved with your twins too. I want to say I'm sorry for not believing you, I'll do anything for you forgive me and let me be in their lives. Will you please let me be in their lives?" in a soft voice. Hearing him say that kinda wanted to make Chin laugh.
