CHILDHOOD SWEETHEARTS?

It can be possible, right?.

Lingschen and Taeyi had been best friends since their childhood days. Taeyi having studied in Philadelphia, his mother's hometown met Lingschen during his kindergarten days. They both attended the same high school as well as the same university.

But after Taeyi's mother's death, his father asked him to join the underworld with him. Taeyi was not in the state to refuse him so he agreed to do the thing that his mother had avoided him from the most. Lingschen entered the underworld due to Taeyi, he was afraid of him being alone since his mother was only the one he was close to. So Lingschen entered the Underworld as the underboss with Taeyi being the boss.

Hua lin gets lost in her thoughts.*Yeah..it can be possible! Absolutely!*.She nods her head in affirmation.*Yes! In today's modern world there isn't anything such as gender restrictions in love! Even if there is, I have to support them even if I like him! There is something called sacrifice right?*.

She tilts her head from the side of the door.

"Ah, How happy they are together!" She sighs.

*

"Ah...come on Taeyiiahh... we have been brothers for so long! What's there to be awkward about!". Lingschen laughs at the troubled eyes of Taeyi. Then he hears a sigh at the door. He looks towards the door and finds Hua lin clinging her head by the door and her body hidden behind the door.

" Oh! Hua Yi What are you doing there?".Lingschen looks with a confused face.

Hua lin jumps from behind the door."Ah...oh! I just came down to..." She stands there with wavering eyes.

Tae yi leans at his chair.

"Uh...I came down to fill my jug with water." She smiles awkwardly.

"Why are you standing there then? Do you have something to say to Taeyi? Come inside."

Lingschen smiles at her.

"Ah...no! it's nothing I just wanted to see where we're you two since I couldn't find anyone outside so!" She takes a step back.

"It's okay you two can continue! Don't mind me, Sorry for disturbing you". She smiles and gets behind the door, gives a small wave and disappears.

Lingschen gets startled at her swift action, he looks at Taeyi with a questioning look. Taeyi looks at lingschen and shakes his head as if to say he had no idea.

*

Hua lin hurries up to her room and closes the door behind her and sighs in relief. *That was close*

She hangs her head down low and plays with her feet. *So, lingschen likes Taeyi and Taeyi likes lingschen too. All these days we were staying together and yet I was unknown. they are good at keeping things to themself. They must have suffered a lot around me*. She sighs and gapes. *So all these days Taeyi knew I like lingschen yet he was hiding his anger beneath him. How much he would have suppressed it*.

" Arrgghh!.." She lets out a small cry"Stupid!".

*

After a few hours, Hua lin lay on her bed spacing on her thoughts. She heard footsteps approaching the door. She jumps on her bed and sits upright.

The door swings open and Taeyi slides in. He had changed his clothes into comfortable black pyjamas. His non-dry hair fell over his face. He glances at Hua lin with his glistening amber eyes. She dazes at him.

Taeyi moves closer and sits on the side of the bed. "Is anything wrong with you?".He glances at her staring face.

She gulps and looks away.*Hua lin. what's wrong with you?*.

" No! I am fine".She nods her head and smiles.

Taeyi turns away."Did you have something say to me earlier?".

"Huh? ah..no I said you right that I came to fill water and..."

She stops as Taeyi gazes at her with his raised eyebrows.

"Uh...okay!". She gets out of her bed and stands in from of him and backs a few paces.

"I wanted to thank you for the other night, for taking care of me when I had a fever! Also, I want to apologize if made you uncomfortable in any way!". She breaths out in a sigh.

Taeyi smirks. " Is that all you have got to say?".

Taeyi stands up from the bed and moves closer to her." Why are you hesitating so much then? Are you perhaps embarrassed? ".

Hua lin steps back. *What's with him? Did he know I saw them and guess about their relationship?*. She gapes.

Taeyi raises his eyebrows in confusion." What?".

Hua lin smiles awkwardly"ah... nothing! You should go back to your room and sleep!".

She smiles again.

Taeyi stands there with folded arms.* What's with her today? Did she fall for me already and is embarrassed to stay with me*. He smiles.

"Oh! Did lingschen leave already?". She looks at him.

*Ugh! there she goes!*. He rolls his eyes and looks to his side and sighs.

He steps forward and leans towards her.

" Why? Are you curious to stay with him? or perhaps did I take your precious time with lingschen earlier?".He stares at her with his cold eyes.

She gulps and backs away.*What? what was that? is he jealous? of me?*. She smirks "Ssseesshhh! why would I be curious to stay with him? " She turns away and sits at the edge of the bed.

"Didn't you say you like him? Why? Did you fall for someone else?" He smirks at her.

*Woah, look at him acting all curious*.

"Don't worry! I don't like him anymore, or I mean I will try to look at him in that way! looks like he already got his eye on someone tho!". She sighs sadly and teasingly.

" What? did you get over him? really? That's new to hear!". He smiles."okay then I will support you on your heartbreak".

He turns away, "Have a nice sleep! from tomorrow your heart will be a hollow space, waiting to be filled by that Mr right."

He smiles and walks towards the door.

*What? what is he talking about? ahh...he is so happy about me not liking lingschen anymore*.

Taeyi leaves and pulls the door along with him. He pops his head out and waves at her. "Good night! sleep tightly". He smiles and closes the door.

" Wooaahhh!!!"Hua lin smirks. "what's wrong with this man? He is making it too obvious, isn't he? Looks at how happy and smiling he is!".

She shakes her head and lays down on her bed." Yeah right! I should not think of lingschen anymore!". She closes her eyes and falls asleep.

*

Taeyi goes towards his room.*Finally! she can give up on lingschen and I can pursue her after it is stable*. He smiles.
