"War can we ask you something?" Yihwa says next day when they take lunch in canteen. He came with Folk.

Bever and Benz still continue their lunch. Keep watching silently.

War look at them, don't bother to say anything.

"It's true what you say about Yin mom? He tell you about his mom?" Folk asked.

"I'm not liar like him" War answered coldly.

"No, we not mean like that" Folk says quickly. "We just want make sure"

"Yin rare talk about his mom" Yihwa add "you must someone special if he tell you about his mom"

War chuckled. "Wow, now he send you to tell this bullshit?"

***

So far we more see with War side,

Let's use YIN POV this time..

***

'You even brought your mother in your lie'

War word keep repeating in my head.

It's almost a week after he yell at me.

I try to talk with him, but he always ignore me.

Even i always follow him, but he never want listen to me.

Blank.

I don't know what I'm feeling now.

Sad? Regret? Disappointed? Shame? Disgusted? Mad? Frustated?

No word can described it.

I want a little chance to explain my side, but yeah maybe I don't deserved it.

I'm the wrong person here.

I start this with wrong way, even now I'm falling for him but I can't change anything.

I just stare at ceiling in my room.

My friends try so hard to make me feel better but I think they finally give up.

Since this morning, they even not bothering me at all.

And because this is Saturday night, they will more busy right?.

I keep thinking and thinking...

Krriiittt.... Sssttt...

I hear noise from outside my room but I just ignore it.

Maybe my maid again. They keep offering me food again and again even I tell them i don't want it.

Tok... Tok...

Someone knocked the door.

Hufftt..

Can they stop it?

I start feeling irritated. I think I tell them clearly, even I do it nicely, why they still disturbed me?

I just get up and walk lazily to open the door.

...

"Happy Birthday to you...

Happy Birthday to you...

Happy Birthday our Yin...

Happy Birthday to you...

Surprise....."

I see my friend in front my room. All of them there sing together.

They bring a cake too. With candle number 18 on it.

I just stand dumb. Owh it's my birthday today?

I totally forget it.

"Woi, wake up bro" Prom says loudly.

I just look at them.

Shocked.

"You forget it?" Bonz laugh.

"Blow the candle bro" Folk join.

"No, make a wish first" Yihwa add.

Ah... Wish? Can I make a wish he is here with me?

I just think something impossible. I sighs and look at my friends again.

They here with me, even doing something like this. I can't make them sad right?

I force my self to smile and blowing the candle without make a wish. My wish its to much to be real.

"Yaaa.. I tell you to make a wish before" Yihwa pouted.

"I wish all of you to always with me, you all is here now, so no need right?" I said while shrugh my shoulder.

"You sure you just want us?" Bonz smirk.

"It's okay if you want someone special you know" Yihwa says softly.

I just smile bitterly.

"I don't deserved it" I whisper sadly and look away from them.

...

"So, you don't want me here?" someone says make me turn my head quickly.

That voice that i missed so much.

Voice of person I've been thinking lately.

He is here.

Stand infront of me.

I rubbed my eyes.

It's really him?

I rubbed my eyes again. Roughly now.

But he still there. Two of his bodyguard, I mean bestfriends is here too.

He smiled.

It is just my imagination?

I rubbed again.

Wow he still there.

"Stop rubbed your eyes" he speaking softly.

What? He speaking? My imagination is feeling to real.

Are I'm start to be delusional now?

I blink.

He still stand there.

He.. My Baby... My love... War..

War is here. War is here...

"Like your gift?" Yihwa starled me. I just look at her confused.

"Should I go home?" War talk and pout now make me full awake now.

"No.. No... Baby.. War.. I'm sorry" I hurry said and take his hand, scared he will leave me again.

"Let me explain first.." I add when War just look at me. Smile.

Her eyes look so sad "I even had to change schools, that's why I warning you before, because I don't want you feel it"

"But we agree to stop it, moreover we think War and Bever is boyfriend" Folk says confused.

Moreover if he want a car, he had just ask it from his father" Folk explain.

"That's why when you say about Yin and War, make us shocked" He add again.

Silent again.

Yihwa look at War. "War, I don't know what to say, but can you give Yin chance to explain his self?"

"Are you give people who bet at you chance to explain?" Bever says.

"Even I want, they don't want it" Yihwa says bitter. "Instead they just laugh at me when I ask them about the bet"

"What? Tell us who are they ?" Folk raise his voice.

"It's just the past, my old school, that's why I'm rolling here but no need waste our time for them" Yihwa answered.

"War, the different our story is Yin try talk to you, he ask for chance to explain, he begging right?" Yihwa turn again to War.

"I'm sorry War, I know even we agree to stop it, but for beginning we are wrong too,

I just want to tell you, if Yin really talk about his mother to you, it's mean he not playing with you" Folk says.

"Like we said, after his mom passed away, Yin rarely talk about his mom.

He really love his mom, so its really shocked us when you say he talk about it to you" Yihwa add.

War keep silent.

He didn't know whether he must believe it or not.

"It's up to you for believe us or not, but I hope you can think about it" Yihwa says after a while.

"Take your time War, and I'm really sorry again" Folk says sincere.

"Hmmm.. War, you know Yin birthday in four more days? I hope you have a time for him, even just for punch him" Yihwa smile thinly.

"Every people deserve a chance" War startled because Bever suddenly voice

"I think you need hear his explanation, and you can decide after that"

"Yeah, like when you want a chance to explain your side to us, he need it too" Benz adds.

War look at them. He sighs.

"If they tell the truth, doesn't this mean its just a misunderstanding? Just doing what your heart want" Bever says and pat War head.

"We'll always on your side" Benz says and join pat War head.

War smile thinly. Grateful have friends like them.

He look back at Yihwa and Folk. "Can you help me?"
