[ ― SONG YUQI ]

I WAS SURPRISED to see the guys that Minnie told me were here. "Yugyeom? Eunwoo?"

"Anong ginagawa niyo dito sa Beijing?" I asked.

"I missed you at gusto ka namin balitaan ni Eunwoo." sabi ni Yugyeom at nginitian ako. Ganoon din si Eunwoo.

Naupo ako sa couch na malapit sa kanila. "What is it?"

Tumingin muna si Eunwoo kay Yugyeom bago nagsalita. "You can come back to Seoul."

I blinked my eyes once before responding. Mabilis kong iniling ang aking ulo. "I can't―"

"Doyeon has left." napatigil ako sa sinabi ni Yugyeom.

"Nalaman ni Dad ang ginagawa ni Doyeon sa university at sa inyo ng 21st. How she was controlling other people's lives and how she threatened you. Dad took her to the States for good." nakita ko ang lungkot sa mata niya nang tumingin siya sa akin. "I'm sorry for what my sister did to you."

"You're related to her?"

Yugyeom scratched his cheek as he plastered an awkward smile. "I never told you this. Yes, half-sister actually."

I nod my head slowly. I never expected them to be siblings.

"Why did you lie to Lucas that day? I told you everything about Doyeon's plans. I even went for you at the takoyaki shop." Eunwoo asked. I heave a sigh as I remembered what happened that day.

"I had to, Eunwoo. I got scared with what Doyeon could do to me and 21st. I don't want them to get hurt so I chose to lie." I sighed heavily and continued. "I think I made the right decision?"

Umiling silang pareho. "The boys are miserable without you, especially Lucas. I think you know how much that noisy kid loves you." Yugyeom said, grinning at me.

That's impossible. Lucas doesn't love me.

"Whether you like it or not, you're coming with us to Seoul. I bought two plane tickets for you and your friend." sabi ni Yugyeom at tinuro si Minnie na nasa likuran ko. She gave me an excited expression at nag-thumbs up pa. Napangiti naman ako dahil doon.

"You're safe now, Yuqi. If someone tries to mess with you, he's dead meat." sabi ni Yugyeom at sinuntok ang ere na parang may kaaway. Natawa naman kami ni Eunwoo dahil sa kaniya.

It's been a month since I left Seoul. Now that everything is back to normal, there's nothing wrong if I go back.

I just hope that nothing has changed.
