So It's You

Kit's POV

I was certain it was Ming. I looked around to search for him. There were too many students wearing the same uniform but it wasn't difficult for me to spot him. He was leaning against the pillar of our department's building. He was with a group of students.

They seemed to be having a conversation but his eyes was fixed on me. I unconsciously moved a little farther from Ice. Ice seemed to notice it because at the corner of my eye he looked at me.

Ming's expression was unreadable.

Why am I acting like I was caught in the act doing something not good by him?

Why do I feel guilty?

You're not doing anything, Kit. I reminded myself.

Ming glared at me and he was about to walk towards me when Prae appeared and pulled him away along with the others.

Why is he with Prae again?

I looked at him once again and I saw him still eyeing me. I watched him till he was out of my sight.

"You okay? " asked Ice.

I didn't notice I went blank for a little while. "Huh? Ah, yeah. "

My phone vibrated.

"We need to talk later, " Ming texted.

How dare him. My day was long and tedious. When my last teacher of the day said we were dismissed. I promptly put all my things in my bag.

"Kit, let's eat out. " Beam cheerfully said. Pha nodded to agree with him.

I was surprised to hear it. They barely made time for me after they found the love of their life. I doubted them. "What do you need? " I suspiciously asked them.

"Nothing, " Beam replied.

I looked at them trying to make them confess but they didn't.

"Okay, let's go. "

They both high five.

We used Beam's car because mine was still in the car shop and Pha's car couldn't accommodate us three. We decided to go to a newly opened restaurant in the city. We were ushered in a table by a waiter. Pha and Beam were both chatting about something. I was too lazy to butt in. My mind was somewhere else.

Why was he with Prae again?

Why are they always together?

I'm getting tired of this, he acts like he really likes me then always spends time with her.

"Ming, " I heard Beam called out.

I turned around to the direction they were looking at.

Where is he?

Then it dawned on me. They were grinning naughtily when I looked at them. I threw them a death glare.

"We were just checking if you're still with us, " Beam teased.

"Apparently, he isn't. " Pha whispered to Beam but it was loud enough for me to hear it.

I threw a crumpled tissue at them which the two successfully dodged.

"So how was your date? " Beam asked.

"It was forgettable, " I muttered.

The two exchanged a knowing glances Then nodded in disbelief.

"Anyway, why Ming? " I remembered to confront him about it.

He shrugged. "Just because, "

I wasn't satisfied with his answer. " Of all people, why him? "

"Why not him? " he asked back.

It made me speechless. "I just don't want to trouble him. "

The two shared a wicked smile.

"Is it really? " Pha asked.

I noticed that these two were ganging up on me.

"Did you invite me to hang out with you guys to interrogate me? " I asked suspiciously.

"What are you talking about? " Beam asked. He acted innocent.

"What are you up to? "

"Look, Ming was the first person to pop up in my mind on that night and he said he was okay with it so that was just it. "

I crossed my arms and looked at them. They kept on eating and ignored me. I sighed. Although, I still doubt them because I believe they were up to no good. Overall, our night together went well. It's been a while since we've done this, just the three of us hanging out together just like the good old days. Beam drove me to my dormitory while Pha took a taxi to the university because he wanted to get his car.

"Thanks, Beam. " then left.

"Yeah, see you Kitty. " then drove off.

I headed to my room and surprised to see someone was waiting by the door. He had his white long sleeves folded to his elbow. He was leaning by the door with his eyes closed and head bowed down.

"Ming, " I said in a low tone.

He didn't respond. I gently shook him.

"Ming, " I called out again.

He slowly opened his eyes. He seemed disoriented.

"Kit? "

"Uh huh, " I hummed.

"Why are you here? "

"Nah ah, I should be the one asking that, "

He roamed his eyes around. "Ah, what am I doing here? " I bit my lips to hold back my laughter. "I have the same question myself. "

I took out my key to open the door.

"Ah, why were you with Ice? " he asked.

"Non-"

"And don't tell me it's none of my business because you are my business, " he cut me off.

I rolled my eyes. "I'm tired, if you have nothing better to say I'll go in now. "

He tried to follow me inside. "And where do you think you're going?"

"Inside, I'm not yet done talking. " he said.

"Well, I am. " I pushed him out slightly. "Stay out, " I said and locked the door.

I was happy to him but I am tired to answer his queries. I am tired of our roller coaster relationship, whatever relationship it was. I took out my books to study. We have our finals coming and I have tons of lessons to review. After some time, I felt hungry and I tried to scavenge food in my fridge but to no avail.

I was lazy to go out but I wouldn't be able to focus with my stomach growling. I picked my wallet and keys to go out. When I opened the door, something stumble on my feet. Evidently, it wasn't something but someone.

"Why the hell are you sleeping outside my room, Ming? " I said.
