"bahiyyih! bahiyyih! the pizza is here!" hikaru shouted. bahiyyih rushed out the pantry to open the door and get the food. "thank god, i couldn't wait to eat." bahiyyih stated. hikaru smiled and went to get a slice. "what movie did you put on?" bahiyyih asked. hikaru shrugged because she couldn't even remember.

"are you awake?" hikaru whispered and turned to bahiyyih. she was asleep so hikaru turned off the movie and tried to sleep. something was bothering her, she felt like she should be awake. "why can't i fall asleep...urghhh..." hikaru mumbled. she peeked over at bahiyyih who was still sound asleep. she went over to her and tried to sleep there, she fell asleep successfully. "they're asleep fast." dayeon whispered to xiaoting. "they're always asleep fast, right next to each other too." xiaoting replied, they both laughed and headed to sleep too.

NEXT MORNING.

"has anyone seen bahiyyih? i woke up and she wasn't next to me anymore." hikaru said sadly. "we went to bed after you guys and she was still there." dayeon said. "what about you xiaoting? have you seen her?" hikaru asked. xiaoting shook her head. "we were supposed to spend the day together today, i hope she comes back soon." hikaru said. "she'll be back dont worry. it's bahiyyih we're talking about she's always around." dayeon said trying to brighten up the mood. "does she even wake up this early?" hikaru asked with a frown plastered on her face. "sometimes hikaru, sometimes." xiaoting said and smiled. hikaru calmed down a little but was still sad. she wanted to text her and ask her where she was but she didn't want to come off as too clingy or anything so she didn't text that morning.

the door suddenly opened around 12 PM and bahiyyih came back with coffee. "you're back!" hikaru said jumping off the couch. "yup! i was buying you guys some new stuff." bahiyyih said happily. the girls all walked over and looked in the big bags bahiyyih set on the table. "are these the headphones i was talking about last week?" dayeon asked. "yeah! they were on sale." bahiyyih answered. "sweet! new converse." xiaoting said. hikaru watched them and then looked in the bag herself, it was a small box inside. "that one is yours." bahiyyih smiled. hikaru pulled it out the bag and opened the small box revealing a note and a custom ring. the note read

' if the day ever comes where we're not together, have this ring to remember me.'

the note kind of scared hikaru, why would bahiyyih be talking about them separating? it made her nervous. "i love it." hikaru said while examining the ring with a light smile. it was a silver ring with a H carved in the diamond. "i really love it, but bahiyyih why did you write this?" hikaru asked. bahiyyih's smile faded a little and she sighed. "it's nothing hikaru, just a silly quote." bahiyyih assured.
