Chapter 8

"i.love.you.

Xuan pointed to a dark figure outside her window. Her windows were locked, blinds were closed and almost all the lights, other than the one in the living room, were switched off.

Lun was frowning. Why would Zhe be doing this? Especially since they broke up so long ago. A few months was long enough. If Zhe wanted to get back at Xuan for breaking up with him, he would have done so earlier. Lun grimaced. This problem wasn't that easy to solve. As quick as his thinking was, the fact that he might be the one Zhe came back for hadn't appeared in his mind yet.

"Xuan? Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah. Sure."

"You initiated the break-up, right?" Xuan nodded. "Then was he agreeable to it at first?"

Xuan shook her head. "He asked me to give him one more try at being my boyfriend but I didn't want to because my feelings for him had already changed. I don't love him anymore. But he wouldn't listen. He only agreed to it later, but very reluctantly..."

"He asked me why I don't love him anymore, so I told him I... was in love with someone else..."

"Oh yeah, that'll be me, right?" Lun thought, blushing profusely and lowering his head.

"If that's the case... There's two reasons why he's back. One's you." Lun paused, "the other is me."

Xuan blushed as the strange realization began to dawn on her. Yeah, of course Lun knew about her feelings for him. Who wouldn't?

"Er... So what do you think we do?" Xuan asked, her face still pink.

Lun shrugged.

------------------------------------------------------------

Lun slumped down in the sofa, cracking his brains just to think of an idea to make Zhe give up his stupid revenge plans, if there was any. But slowly, Lun's eyelids started to droop. And he fell asleep.

And it was absolutely the perfect time for Zhe to take his revenge. But the blinds were closed, so Zhe probably won't realize that so soon.

But outside, Zhe was starting to make some moves. Xuan heard some shuffling outside and some clicking sounds as she sat on the floor in front of the sofa where Lun was sleeping and huddled close to him. She was starting to be afraid. Afraid of what Zhe might do to her. Or Lun.

Xuan held Lun's hand as she sat. All the lights in her house were switched off and Zhe's shadow was creepy. A shiver crept down Xuan's spine as she clutched Lun's hand even more tightly. But it made Lun wake up as well.

"Xuan? Xuan, are you okay?" Lun asked, rather anxiously.

As Xuan turned to look at him, he was shocked and quite pained, to see Xuan's face stained with tears.

"Xuan... Hush, girl. Don't be afraid. I'm here... Don't cry..." Lun hugged her and wiped away her tears. He could feel her shivering despite the fact that the atmosphere in her house was quite warm.

Lun's heart ached. Just like how it ached when Lin cried. Now it was hurting the same. Lun let out a soft sigh. The power of love, indeed. And Zhe was using it to take his revenge, too.

When love turns to hatred, there's nothing you can do to stop it.

"Xuan... I..." Lun paused, hesitating. Yeah, Lin told him to be happy and he knew she wouldn't mind if he loved Xuan. Because he did. And Lun knew that, if he didn't tell her then, it might be too late. Because Zhe might do anything. Absolutely ANYTHING.

"..?"

"Xuan..."

"Jay... Just say what you want to..."

"Xuan... Don't.. Don't call me Jay... I mean... You can call me Lun.. I mean..." Lun ran his fingers through his hair as he desperately tried to think of something to say. Surely saying "I love you" to Xuan was more important than thinking up an idea to make Zhe give up...

"Jay.. What do you want to say...?" Xuan asked in a soft tone.

"I... Xuan... I... I love you..." As the words came out of Lun's mouth, Lin's image flashed in his mind. "Promise me you'll be happy.""I will, Lin." Because of that, Lun was sure he made the right decision. "The key is in the tracks." Perhaps his love for Xuan might help him find Lin's key...

"Jay...?" Xuan looked into his eyes.

"Lun. Call me Lun." Lun answered in a voice so soft it could barely be heard.

"Lun... I love you too..." Xuan said then she smiled. And so did Lun. "But... Won't this make Zhe hate you more?"

"What can I do? If I don't say it now, I might not have a chance to anymore..."
