"Gu Wei Yi!" Si Tu Mo kicked his side with her foot and I let out a light laugh before reaching over to take a sip of my beer. I looked towards Senior Yu Yin smiling to herself by covering her mouth. Gu Wei Yi let out a chuckle and pushed her foot away before sitting up.

"I'm stating the obvious between them," Gu Wei Yi smiled sheepishly and looked towards me. If I hadn't had any drinks tonight, I probably would have felt embarrassed. Instead, I felt like laughing and it was a comfortable setting with my friends. I knew Gu Wei Yi would eventually mention something like this. This was how our friendship went. We always had this mutual understanding of when to take something seriously or when not to.

The four of us were back at Gu Wei Yi's apartment for the evening after an eventful day. The four of us decided to celebrate the end of this semester before we all part for the break. Si Tu Mo wanted to have one last get together before we separated for a little over a month. Wei Yi, Yu Yin, and I have spent a lot of time together in the lab since we started our research, and we've spent time together outside the lab. Wei Yi more than Yu Yin since she is our senior and I'm sure she has other things to do as well.

"Lei seems like an amazing guy," Yu Yin spoke after a moment. Both Wei Yi and Tu Mo looked towards me wondering what I would say. I felt at ease with them and smiled.

"We've been together now for..." I paused thinking of the time that has passed. "Two months and two weeks tomorrow," I smiled proudly of Lei and I. Wei Yi smiled and nodded.

"You two seem very happy with each other."

"You're a cute couple Faye!" Tu Mo spoke happily. "You're very lucky you two will be able to continue on with your masters in the States. Will you two be living together?" I noticed Wei Yi taking a glance towards her. They would be good for each other. I know they would. I wonder when the both of them will start going out. Seeing they have lived here together since the start of this year, I've found them a cute couple.

"We haven't discussed that yet." The thought of Lei and I sharing an apartment in the city hasn't crossed my mind. My focus has been on this semester and adjusting to being back here in China. My mind was away from being in North America and focusing on my senior year. "Hmmm... I'm sure Lei and I will eventually talk about it in the near future." My laptop began ringing indicating I had an incoming Skype call. "Speaking of the near future," I smiled and leaned forward to hit the answer button.

Yu Yin made her way over to the arm of the sofa I sat in and leaned into the view of the camera. My computer connects through the call and I see three familiar happy Koreans smiling at me and Yu Yin.

"Faye!" Yoon San Ha greeted me. "You answered." Lee let out a chuckle and rolled his eyes slightly at his friend. I smiled and waved to them.

"Of course I would. Why wouldn't I?" I spoke. Lee raised a brow and looked between Yu Yin and I.

"You're having drinks tonight?" Lee asked curiously. I nod and hummed.

"Everyone is excited to finally meet you tomorrow! The day is almost already here," Yoon said excitedly. "Are you sure it's alright to stay with you and your family for the break?"

"Of course it's fine! My family is honored to have you stay with us. I should be asking you guys if it's alright with team management that you're taking this much time off to stay with me."

"It's fine," Lee reassured me. "We are very happy you can host us. Team management is very thankful for you and your team."

"All of you will be staying in the guest house with me."

"We're going to have a great time!" Yoon smiles and I nod feeling the rush of excitement and nervousness.

"I can't wait to spend more time with you," Lee spoke and I smiled at him. I continue to ask myself how I became lucky to be one of Lee's closests friends since Paris. I looked towards Tu Mo and Wei Yi who were bickering at each other for something, I had completely missed. Wei Yi looked towards me and smiled.

"Your bias is waiting for you to respond Faye," Wei Yi spoke. My face immediately felt warm and I looked towards the screen to see Yoon looking towards Lee with wide eyes then looked towards me. Lee smiled lightly and looked down for a moment before making eye contact with me through the screen.

"Wei Yi," Lee called out from the screen. "She has a boyfriend. She's already taken.'' Lee sent me a wink and I broke into a smile, thankful for him.

"My poor heart she's taken," Yoon interrupted. He pretended to seem upset and let's put a dramatic sigh. Senior Yu Yin let out a light laugh and wrapped an arm around me.

"You'll be fine," Lee spoke and rolled his eyes before breaking into a smile. "How is Lei doing Faye?"

"He's doing well," I smiled thinking about my boyfriend. "He is eager to meet with everyone. I told him we'd stay out of trouble until he arrives."

"Can't make promises," Yoon shrugged. I laughed, shaking my head, having no doubt we would cause trouble while I'm home. My time spent with just Lee when we were in Paris with Lei was only the beginning.

"Don't get Faye into too much trouble," Senior Yu Yin spoke. I looked up slightly at her and she looked towards me with a shy smile. "We can't have her missing research upon return from break."

"Lee and Jin won't let her get into that much trouble. But hey, Faye, Jin and MJ are wondering what your favorite color is."

"Royal blue."

"I'll let them know," Lee says. "We just wanted to do a quick face call before we meet you at the airport in about 6 hours. We really can't wait to see you."

"Especially me," Yoon commented. "I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening."

"Thank you San Ha," I beamed. I'll send you a text before I board the plane." I spoke with Lee and Yoon for a few moments longer before they said their farewell and we ended the Skype call. I closed my laptop and looked towards Gu Wei Yi who chuckled once I sent him a glare.

"You and Lee friendship is actual goals," Si Tu Mo commented. "You're very lucky to have all of Astro to know who you are." Senior Yu Yin nods from beside me agreeing.

"Besides Lei, Lee seems to make you really happy as well," Yu Yin spoke. "There's never a moment when you're face calling or messaging Lee that it is ever dull. You are always smiling when it comes to your interaction with him." My cheeks felt extra heated at the moment and I wasn't sure why the mention of this made me feel this way.

"Awe," Si Tu Mo smiled. "She's blushing."

"Don't worry," Senior Yu Yin spoke lightly from beside me. "We won't tell Lei about your celebrity crush. There are many girls who have a crush on the Cha Eun woo."

"He's not my crush," I spoke lightly feeling a tad bit embarrassed we were talking about Lee like this. I knew I've always had my favorite among the group, but I've never exactly had that... crush feeling towards them. Maybe at some point I may have had the smallest crush on Lee, but it never went very far, vécusse I've always had a crush on Hauze lei and he had set my standard for... him. It felt strange to have my emotions intensified after having a few drinks. Why was there a sudden feeling of feeling uncomfortable?

"She's definitely blushing," Si Tu Mo smiled and I looked down at my hands hoping they would let this go. It made me feel uneased thinking of anyone when I'm with Lei. I heard a cough from Wei Yi and I looked up to see him awkwardly looking around before standing slowly from his spot.

"Faye," He spoke lightly walking over to me. Both Tu Mo and Yu Yin looked up towards him in confusion. "Let's get some air. I think you need some air," I nodded quickly wanting to get out of this uncomfortable situation. I stood from the seat and apologized to Yu Yin before making my way to the door. I slip out of my slippers and put on my shoes. Gu Wei Yi held the door open for me and we walked out and a few steps into the hall I was swaying slightly.

"Whoa," I said lightly and put my hand against the wall immediately. I felt Wei Yi's arms wrap around my waist and she had me lean towards him to help me to stand straight. He looked towards me worriedly and I looked up at him.

"Are you going to be alright Faye?" He asked softly. He helped me towards the elevator and he pushed for the ground floor. I think he was referring to back in the apartment than my current ability to walk straight.

"I'll be okay."

"I'm sorry if they stepped out of line." I shook my head lightly looking straight and holding onto him so I wouldn't lose my balance. "You seemed uncomfortable back there."

"It felt strange talking about Lee in that way when I have a boyfriend."

"I know they were teasing," Gu Wei sighed. We reached the main floor and made our way towards the outside.

"I'll be fine, really," I smiled lightly up at him and he turned his head slightly as we reached the entrance. He pushed the door open and I took an intake of the fresh air. "You've been really helpful and kind to me."

"I don't want anything to happen like that day Meizuo rudely interrupted."

"I wouldn't think Senior and Tu Mo wouldn't be anywhere near like that. That day clearly showed which side Meizuo was on."

"I'm surprised you said it was alright for him to come to your assessment performance. I know how much you wanted to distance yourself."

"He's one of Lei's closests friends. I never said I have forgiven him."

"And... Doaming Si?" I leaned against the railing and folded my arms.

"He's a whole different story." My voice became smaller at the mention of him. Wei Yi looked towards me debating whether to continue this part of the conversation.

"I am glad you had decided to take a physics course here even though you've already completed your requirements. I wouldn't have met you otherwise." I smiled at him.

"You're an amazing friend and lab partner Gu Wei Yi. I do appreciate your concern." He smiled and looked down. "How are you... and Tu Mo?" I asked now wondering why they haven't started dating yet. It was my turn to ask his current relationship.

"I wasn't done talking about you and Lei," Wei Yi chuckled and folded his arms.

"What about Faye and I?" I heard another voice aside from Wei Yi and I looked past to see Lei walking up the pathway towards us. His calm and neutral expression with his hands in his coat pocket. Upon approaching us he looked towards me and smiled. Immediately my heart raced at the sight of him. No matter what he wore, he always looked amazing.

"After graduation." Lei looked from Wei Yi to me.

"That's up to Faye," Lei spoke and smiled. "We may get an apartment together in the city or maybe a home in the suburbs outside of the city. We haven't discussed much of that yet. I have special plans right before graduation." I watched as Lei's eyes dilated at whatever he had planned for then."

"Special plans?" I asked confusingly. This was the first time Lei had mentioned anything about this. I was curious what he would be up to.

"It's a surprise."
