30 : xiaoyang

























Y/n's POV







After another 2 weeks of "do nothing day except study and go live", I'm free again! I'm going to spend a week at our house then go to Shanghai next week to do the fan meeting with Ruiqi and some guests. We talked about it already so it's all set. Manami also released her pre-debut cover, making the fans hyped again. Next week will be Ruan's cover.






"Mom, you know it already, right?"







"Know what?"







"That we're having a fan meeting in Shanghai next week?" She doesn't know. I never told her about it yet, only Shiyu knows it. Speaking of Shiyu, I felt never alone in our house this time. Before, I'm alone. My dad's away, my mom's at work, I'm left all alone, no one to talk to except the aunties and misters in the house. I learned that she's from Jiangsu, studying in Beijing as one of my mother's scholars, she's an only child and she has a pet in her room. I haven't seen her pet yet because she kept the cat in her room.







"I didn't know about that..." my mom slowly placed the magazine down, looking at me fiercely. She cant decline this decision, it's related to my work.







"I'm going with Ruiqi and our manager"







"Never heard about your manager"







"Sajang-nim's friend sent his manager to manage us for a while"







"And who is this friend? You know your father should know everything before letting you do things in public"







"Zhang Yixing sunabenim, he is one of our CEO's bros, mom" her face calmed down then nodded her head. She looks relieved. "Ah, Yixing. I know him. Okay" of course she knows him, Yixing-nim already became a model for her brand of things, I forgot what it is because she likes to create a lot of things and luxury items.







"So you're fine with it?"







"Only if you bring Zhou Shiyu with you"







"But mom, she's still studying and Xiaoting doesn't know about her. What will she think if she saw Shiyu?"






"It'll be fine. And Shiyu's already done with her studies. That's why I took her here"







"You could've given her a position in your company, not as my maid or something, mom"







"That time will come, for now, she's coming with you and you're going to take her everywhere you go" she turn around and then looked at some maids lining up in the corner. She called for Shiyu, who's the only young one in the group.







"Xiaozhou, you're going to accompany Y/n on everything, okay? You go wherever she goes, let her pay for the things you need like plane tickets and stuff"







"I will, Mrs. Song but... why me?" Yeah, mom, why her?







"My daughter needs some friends around her and you're the only young one who can match her vibe here. Treat her as a close friend, okay? She gets lost most of the time" Mom, I'm turning 23.







"I will, Mrs. Song" I watched my mom stand up, pat her head, then left. Wow, she forgot about my existence, huh.







"Are you going to Shanghai, miss?" Shiyu asked.







"I am, with Ruiqi. And you, if you like. Because my mom says I should bring you with me"







"I would love to. I missed Shanghai already"







I wonder if Xiaoting already asked my mom about Shiyu...







I then heard someone running towards us and saw my mom again. Never saw her run that fast before.






"Oh, and Y/n... we're going to grannies tomorrow. Jiaqi will come with us"
























































At the Youth's house, one member was doing VLive when she was dared to go to Y/n's room and steal an outfit.






"Fine, fine. I'll do it" Hikaru looked to her side, asking for Y/n's cousin's permission if she can go. Ziyin let Hikaru know where the room's key is silently (because she's not revealed as a member yet) and when Hikaru twisted the key, surprisingly, it was open already. As she opened the room, she can hear the AC on and the atmosphere feels someone is inside already.







'Is the AC on? I can hear it'







'Someone is using Y/n's room, or does she have a roommate?'







'I want to be Y/n's roommate too'









Hikaru closed the camera first then entered the room slowly. Someone is inside, sleeping on the bed peacefully. Hikaru went to peek who the person was and her expression wasn't surprised, after all, it was Xiaoting. Sleeping on Y/n's bed.







Hikaru went to take one outfit there then left the room immediately. "Hey guys, I'm back with... banana pajamas. Never saw jiejie wear these"







She started reading comments and a lot of fans were asking why she was quiet earlier.







"Oh, someone is sleeping in the room... Jie-jie's roommate"






The comment section was then filled with 'Who'.






"You Dayeon unnie, the unnies are sleeping in one room together. You Dayeon unnie was left because the other two jie-jie's go home"

















































Y/n's POV







"Xu Jiaqi!"







"Xu-Yang-Song Yinan"







"Y/n... Y/n is my name"







"Sounds the same" I was greeted by a warm hug by my now-famous cousin. Never seen her for a long time after she debuted with The9. Although she introduced me to her members already during their first concert, I never saw her again because I studied at school. We also never contacted each other because both of us were busy.







It was like 'no interaction for 2 years but the bond is still the same'







Right now, I stepped foot again in my original hometown. Zhejiang Province. The place where most of my relatives live.







"Oh, who is this? And where is Xiaoting?" I was surprised she still remembers Xiaoting. They didn't talk that much but she knows that I'm engaged to her.






"Oh, my friend, Zhou Shiyu from Jiangsu" I introduced Shiyu to her. "New girlfriend?" I was taken aback by what Jiaqi-jie said. "What? No. Just close friend. Right?" I nudged Shiyu when nodded her head calmly. "Xiaoting is in Korea"






"Ah, I see... are you two still in touch?"






"Of course? I'm working in Korea too, jie-jie. And she's my neighbor there, come on in" I grabbed Jiaqi's arms then drag her inside. She thinks I replaced Xiaoting already, huh? Never in a million years.







"Mama!" I shouted once I saw my grandma. The only grandparent I got. She looks weaker than the last time I saw her.







"Who is it?" Oh, I forgot. She tends to not memorize our faces anymore but still remember names. "It's your youngest granddaughter. Yinan" she remembers me by the name Yinan because when I was still in my mother's womb, my grandmother already named me Yinan.






"Ah~ Yinan~ how are you? Grandma never saw you after a long time!" She opened her arms to welcome me. I bent over to hug her because she was resting on her bed.






"I'm doing great, mama. I'm an artist now in Korea. You know my dream, right? I'm a singer now!"







"Of course, mama knows your dream. I listen to your music, Jiaqi played it to me yesterday and I recognized your voice... I never heard you sing for so long... how about playing the piano?"







"I still play it, ma. Are you hungry?" I asked her. She sounds energized today but looking at her, she looks really weak.







"I just finished eating... I remember... Xiaoting, is that you?" She pointed someone behind me. It was Shiyu. "Ah, ma. That's-"







"It's been so long!~ come here~" granny let go of my hands then motioned Shiyu to come over. I turn to Shiyu and told her to come closer.






"You've grown a lot~ it's been so long since you and our Y/n got engaged... granny is getting weak~ I want you to be Y/n's wife already" Shiyu looks shocked just like me and Jiaqi-jie at one corner. She never knew about me and Xiaoting as well. "What do you say? You will be the one for our Y/n, right?"







Granny, that's not Xiaoting...






"Yes, ma. We're going to get married soon~ wait for us, please?" I grabbed both of Shiyu's arms then moved her aside. "Xiaoting~ take care of our Y/n... okay?" She continued to talk to Shiyu. She will never stop until Shiyu responds so I instructed her to just nod her head.





"I want to witness one of my grandchildren get married... Jiaqi, you're the oldest but you're such a career-woman~ Ruihua (Ziyin's real name) too, never had time for love... but our Yinan got one"





I forgot to mention, it's just the three of us grandchildren. My other cousins are either kidnapped or k worded by some rivals. Dark.






"Yinan~ move fast... marry Xiaoting already"





"I will marry her, mama. Don't worry"









































"Granny thought your friend was your fiancée, wow~" Jiaqi teased as we were walking beside the coastline. Shiyu was tailing us because my mother said so. "But I and Xiaoting started as a friend too... remember the first time she saw Xiaoting? She said 'those two don't look like friends'. She guessed it already, we never told her that we were together that time"






"Granny is a matchmaker"






"That's right"






"And she matched you with your other friend" Jiaqi-jie chuckled. Annoying. "Xiaoting will never approve this"






"Do you like my gifts?"






"What gifts?"






"The LV and Chanel products... I sent it to your house!" (Kiki is an LV and Chanel endorser in China)






"Oh, it was from you! I thought it was from some random fan who spends a lot of money for me"







"But I am your fan?" She pointed to herself. "Of course you are... oh and, I'm going to Shanghai next week... mini fan meeting"






"I know, I'll watch it too... I will invite my bros too, you know, some of them knew about you already" the bros she meant were her members in Shanghai. Since The9 disbanded already, she went back to 7Senses (subunit of SNH48). She's still in touch with her previous members but all of them have solo careers already and are pretty packed.






"You don't have to. I'm shy. I told my fans in my live before that I will date them all... that would be awkward if I meet them"






"Also, I heard someone in the group likes you? I'm telling you this early, do not get involved with their romance diagram. It's pretty complicated. If someone will be a CP (it's like a ship in C-Pop but more) fan of you and that member, it'll be crazy to the point they will stalk your profile"






"I know that... I'm a CP fan before, remember?"






"Yes, and you went crazy after your CP broke up"






"Who won't get sad about it?"






"Me, because their relationship is toxic. There's no need to continue if the relationship is already problematic"






Sounds like mine and Xiaoting but not that problematic. Just toxic and all ruined.






"I hope you and Xiaoting won't get on that stage"






I hope so too but it already happened...




























































Xiaoting's POV






It's been a week since Y/n and Ruiqi popped like a bubble in the air. I've opened my Weibo to see if there's any update about them but non. Y/n only updated once and that was also a week ago. I asked her mom and she said Y/n went to Shanghai to do something.








Shanghai means SNH. Is she getting Ma Yuling's gift for real?






I spend my time mostly in her room the past few days because I miss her. Just sleeping. Bora and Ziyin knew about this and they let me. Yurina and Mashiro will be home soon so I cant sleep next door once they arrive.






"Sury is live in VLive" I heard Ziyin-jie mumble beside me. Just like Bora, she also updates me about Y/n. She hates me more before, but I think she's calming down now. I hope she accepts me again.






"Finally, someone who uses VLive" Y/n doesn't use VLive because it malfunctions on her phone. VLive doesn't work if her phone's language is Chinese. (The same thing happened to LOONA's Vivi before)














"Tell her to follow Y/n now... I'm afraid she got stuck in a sea of fans" I told Ziyin-jie and she immediately commented.








"Zhou zhou? New friend?"







Zhouzhou... who is this person... and why Ruiqi never mentioned that person to me.






Is this the personal maid or something?








"Personal manager? Her mother appointed a personal manager, huh" just like me, Ziyin is also confused. "She made a new friend; she can't make friends without her mother's supervision... maybe that person is known by her mother"














"She calls you baobao?" Ziyin nudged me. "Sometimes... but mostly baobei" a smile eventually formed in my face. She mentioned me again.








"They're going to hold a fan meeting in Shanghai, she's probably going to meet Ma Yuling, DXQ, Yubing, and Zige there"






"If it's the four, I'm fine with it" I crossed my arms. I hope she's not meeting her "biases" there.







"There's no need to be jealous about it, she's not going to replace you there. She's not like you"







"Who knows, jie-jie... and that Zhou-zhou, whoever she is"







"I know her, Ting. Since we were young, she never lied too much and is very loyal. Heads up"






I sighed. I'll hold on to her promise. I trust her.
