"When she kisses me, it feels like my world stops revolving.", she froze after hearing those words from her husband.


"Ruomei, why did you write this? Clearly, you wrote this song before the wedding so what makes you think we'll like kissing each other?", Meixiu thumped her chest because of the sudden change she felt on her heartbeat. She remembered their first and only kiss with the lyrics he just sang and the way he low key slipped a smile from his lips.

"I now pronounce you, husband and wife."


Meixiu heard those words but she was stuck right there, she can't resist the charm of this man in front of her. She was shocked when Chaoxiang pulled her from her waist and tucked her closer to his body, her hands landed on her chest.


"You have to kiss me lady, it's a custom.", he said.


He drew his face closer, lowering his back to reach her height. She met her leading man halfway and locked her lips on his. His lips are making hers partly opened as he slipped his lower lip inside her mouth. Her heart's beating so fast. "Stop it already Chaoxiang or I'll die having no oxygen!", Meixiu thought.


From her upper lip, he then ravished her lower lip. Meixiu was too nervous, she never kissed someone before. That's why she poked Chaoxiang's stomach with her index because according to his interview, it's his most ticklish part, hoping he will stop the kiss after but what he did shocked her. He bit his lower lip and after tasting her blood, he left her standing there.

"Are you that whipped for Chaoxiang?", she snapped out after hearing Lein.


"Why? What?"


"Give me your letter now, I'll give it to him at the back stage."


"Oh I'm sorry. Here it is.", she handed the box she made throughout the night.


"I'll go with the crowd so Chaoxiang will not see me.", Meixiu said and walked away.

I LOVE YOU UNTIL I DIE

"Chaoxiang, I've watched some of your interviews and you once said your best composition is...", Chaoxiang cut Suyin's words. 


"Yeah caged. Is it still your best so far?" 


"I guess. Talking about my fears in general is very hard for me. I don't want to sound like a manipulative sad boy.", he chuckled. 


"But the words slipped out of me naturally so I love it.", he continued. 


"What is the fear that you are talking about here?", Suyin asked, expecting Chaoxiang to answer in tears. 


"I guess I was so scared of sleeping away from our house. I was away, sleeping in my former manager's house when I wrote this.", Chaoxiang like in most of his interviews, crossed his leg over the other. 


Suyin is looking at her ex, trying to seduce him with her stares. You can clearly see with Chaoxiang that within this interview, he clearly discarded Meixiu in his thoughts. 


"Well I also listened to it, the horns are creeping me out. Where did you get the idea of making this a really creepy song with a creepy music video?" 


"That night I was alone at that house, I keep hearing noises, as if someone's screaming or is begging for help. I was so terrified by it. It disturbed me every night, I guess for the next three months since that night." 


"That was insane. I will immediately leave that house if I was in your shoes.", Suyin is trying to make Chaoxiang think she is concern about him. 


"Have you also included it in your set list for a concert?" 


"I did include it before. The production and the stage props made it even scarier. I was singing in a cage which is crazy and is not allowing me to explore the stage. You know how wild am I in performing right?", Suyin smiled. 


"Yeah I know you are exploring the stage every time you perform which is good for a performer." 


"I purposely used my black bass in performing so it can blend with the motif. And that was my best live performance too." 


"I guess caged has a certain connection with you. Favorite lyrics from the song?" 


"Fear is overrated, I should've opened the door (lyrics quoted from the song). I guess that was my favorite part. Because that night, I was really confused whether to open the door where the noise is coming from or not. Until now I am wondering, what if I opened it?" 


"That was dangerous Chaoxiang, we may not be able to see your handsome face if you opened the door.", Chaoxiang laughed and winked at Suyin. 


"I hate my bro so much!", Ruomei, watching so close with the monitor decided to turn it off after hearing Suyin and Chaoxiang's teasing each other. 


"Meixiu must be watching too. I wonder if she's alright seeing this.", she said and tried to dial her number.
