4 : U+ME=NOT MEANT TO BE

a/n: cringey title but u+me=love win deserve





"Annyeong"


"AHH!" A loud shriek echoed the entire house that made the members in their bedrooms to check up on what was happening. "Mwoya? What is it? Did someone kill someone- omo, YOON JIA!" Youngeun almost slipped on the stairs but she didn't care as long as she can hug Jia. "Yah! Hikaru!" Mashiro and Yurina launched their selves to the younger Japanese.


"What's happening?" Suyeon gripped her hair. "My team... JEONYA IS THE BEST!" Suyeon shouted as she hugged both Ruiqi and Dayeon. "Yay! Jeonya!" Hikaru broke off the hug from her J-group and hugged the other team. They had a misunderstanding before but it's all fine now.


"What are you doing here, guys? And what do you mean by you are our neighbors?" Doah looked at them confused. "Sajang-nim said we can move into our member's house so we picked her house" Dayeon explained. "Member? One of you lived here?" Kim Dayeon asked. "Ani~ our mystery member, you haven't met her yet?" Ruiqi raised her eyebrows until she realized... Xiaoting was in the group.


While on Chuang, a rumor circulated that the children of Weibo and Baidu are engaged. It was known that Xiaoting is the daughter of Weibo's CEO but she told them she got an older brother which is a lie. Ruiqi found out about this when Xiaoting told her friends in Girls Planet that she's the only child of the family.


Out of curiosity, Ruiqi researched about this "Baidu Child" and turns out it was a 'daughter'. She also stalked Xiaoting's account but she found nothing except the user Song顡蒽 which translates to your name, Y/n Song- Yang. It has some pictures of Xiaoting but there was no picture of the user. It also got a minimum amount of followers and is very private.


At that time, Ruiqi concluded that Xiaoting is engaged with a girl and when she told Wen Zhe about this, it became widespread among some C-girls. But thankfully, Wen Zhe scolded them not to spread the rumor because it was 'fake'.


Earlier when Ruiqi saw Y/n at the company, she was beyond shocked because you never had a background about your talents and stuff. You never had dance cover videos or posts in Douyin (TikTok). And aside from that, it was known inside the camp that Xiaoting and Yurina are a thing. When Y/n asked if they knew Xiaoting earlier, she thought she never knew about the news yet. Ruiqi felt sad for Y/n and angry at Xiaoting.


"Xiaoting unnie... can I talk with you?" Ruiqi pulled Xiaoting somewhere outside of the house. "What is it?" Xiaoting asked. Ruiqi stared at her and it looks like Xiaoting as well never knew about you being their neighbor.


"Are you and Yurina unnie still a thing?" Xiaoting sighed as she nodded her head. "Are you sure that you love her?" Xiaoting was taken aback by the sudden question that slipped out of Ruiqi's mouth.


"Why are you asking that?"


"Uhm... I'm just curious, you know" Ruiqi cleared her voice. "Of course, I love her" Xiaoting lied. She can't just tell Ruiqi she's faking her feelings cause if she does, Ruiqi might tell it to others.

"Do you perhaps... know Yang Y/n?" This made Xiaoting more surprised. You're not the type of person who's famous, no one actually cared about your name except your relatives and those who knew about your status. "Why did you ask?" Xiaoting nervously asked. It's weird for her that Ruiqi knows something she doesn't tell anyone about.

"Unnie..."

































Y/n's POV

"Oh unnie!" I was greeted by Doah as soon as I opened my front door. I saw no one inside of the house so I thought my members were outside but still, they were not there except Doah.

"Doah-yah" I smiled as I patted her head gently. I continued to look around for the others but never saw them inside the gates. "Are you looking for your members?" I heard Doah ask. "How did you know?"


"Well... come with me" she suddenly grabbed my hand and then drag me towards the other house beside mine. The guards let us in and I was surprised her 'sisters' were real.


"These are my members," she told me.


Members? So she's a member of Planet Girls like what Jia said earlier?


"You're an idol?" I was clueless when I saw her for the first time. She's pretty tho, of course, she can be an idol. "Yeah... but treat me like a normal person, aye?"


"Of course... sorry, I never watched the program"


"It's okay-"


"KIM DOAH!" A large voice rang in front of the upper balcony. "IS THAT THE NEIGHBOR?!" The girl shouted once again. Doah nodded her head before pulling me closer to her. "Don't mind the other girls... they're loud, especially that one on the upper balcony, she's Kim Bora" Doah led me to the front door which is similar to my house. As she opened the doors, all girls in the living room turn their heads to me.


I smiled at them as I inspect their faces one by one. They are all pretty and... wait, is that-


"That is Kim Suyeon, Kim Dayeon, Seo Youngeun... she's Jia's best friend. That one is Kang Yeseo and Mashiro unnie... You met Bora unnie earlier and those two tall girls are Xiaoting unnie and that's Yurina unnie... they are dating, don't they look cute?" I can see Xiaoting's eyes were wide as mine. Doah whispered the last part to me and it broke my heart instantly. So she's dating someone behind my back all the time?


"Since when did they date?"


"Since the show was aired... you didn't watch it, huh?" Doah clung to my arms tighter. I can feel her head inched closer to mine and if I turn to her, it'll be awkward.


"I guess I'm too busy to check up on her"


"Her? So you knew Xiaoting unnie?" I nod my head slowly, breaking the contact between me and Xiaoting. "She was a friend from the past" I turn to Doah, assuring her with a smile. "Past? What-"


"Hey! You never told us you're coming here!" Ruiqi suddenly jumped behind the both of you. She instantly went between you and Doah making the younger slip her arms away from yours. "I was looking for you guys so Doah took me here" Ruiqi made an 'ah' expression.


"So you knew Doah?"


"Yeah, we went to the park yesterday"


"Date?" Ruiqi raised an eyebrow at me. This girl loves to tease a lot. "A-Ani! Don't think like that unnie" Doah whispered to Ruiqi. "Sorry, Doah but may I borrow Yang Y/n for a minute?" Ruiqi turns to her. "Why are you asking me?" Doah shook her body out of Ruiqi's arms. "See you later, Y/n" as she turn to me, she smiled then turned back to Ruiqi, she rolled her eyes. "Don't worry about her, we're friends" Ruiqi drag me somewhere outside.


"Hey-"


"What is it, Ruiqi?" I asked her. I suddenly lost my energy after seeing the one and only Shen Cheating. "Let's eat dinner here"


"Huh? I thought we're going to order things?" I don't wanna be here any longer. "Youngeun and Jia ordered the food already" she explained. I was looking at her but she was ignoring my gaze. Maybe she knew about Xiaoting and Yurina?

"Uhm... can I ask something?" She suddenly flinched. "W-What is it?"

"Do you-"

"Su Ruiqi" we heard a voice behind us. I look behind Ruiqi and saw Xiaoting. Now, why is she here?

"Talk to you later" Ruiqi walked away leaving me and Xiaoting 10 feet away from each other. I wish it could be a hundred feet away or... just bury me 6 feet below the ground right now.

"Y/n..." she mumbled. I took a glimpse of her face and she still looks the same as the day I saw her left. Oh wait, she's staring back! How can she look at me after cheating, how brave of her?

"Go back to your girlfriend," I told her. She was taken aback by it which made her step closer. She slowly walked up to me and I know she was going to hug me anytime sooner.

Her heels were ticking louder and louder as the distance between us keeps on shrinking. As she gets closer, she walks faster. As she was about to launch herself at me, I moved and dodged her which made her fall to the ground.

"Oops-" I held her arms and was about to pull her up when I realized she did something unforgivable. "-nevermind" I let go of her and made her fall once again. "Haha deserve" I ran away and entered their house.

I looked for Doah and once I saw her, I immediately ran to her side. She's the person I am most comfortable with around here. "Oh hey, dinner just arrived" she automatically hooked her arms around mine.

Except for Xiaoting, Doah is the only person who could do this to me. Not my cousins or Ruiqi ever hooked their arms around mine.

"Dinner's ready!" I heard the same voice who shouted earlier at us once again. Doah pulled me to the dining area and opened one chair for me. Some housemaids were bringing extra chairs for us and the table is long so we can all fit in.

"Sit beside me," Doah told me. The other girls started to come and sit on the empty chairs one by one. "Let's eat... Thank You for the food!" Kim Bora said. I saw Xiaoting sitting across from me and Yurina on her side. I tried to ignore them by listening to the other members talking.

"Y/n-ssi? Are you Chinese or?" Kim Dayeon asked. "I'm Chinese-Korean but I grew up in Sichuan," I told them. "Sichuan? That's where Xiaoting unnie lives " Doah creased her brows as she turn to Xiaoting. "I guess the both of you knew each other?" I looked at Ruiqi and she's ignoring my gaze. I need someone to cut the conversation now, I'm begging...

I looked around and saw all of them were paying attention to me. I gulped as I turn to Xiaoting who was looking back at me. I noticed her knuckles were bleeding, now I felt bad- wait, she's not wearing the engagement ring, never mind.

"We're classmates... and friends" I announced. They all bought it and at the same time before more questions were thrown, my phone starts ringing so loud.

The ring tone was CL's HELLO BI+CHES and since the beginning was just the instrumental, my mom never knew it was a 'baddie' song. Yep, it's my ringtone for my mom's number. I like it so when she calls in the middle of the night, I can hear it louder. She hates it when I don't answer her calls.

"Wait a second" I stood up, answering the phone call. I stood at the dining room's entrance and the girl's voices can be heard in the background.

"Have you eaten dinner?" I swear, she's this worried about me.

"Yes mom" we were talking in Chinese so it's possible Ruiqi and Xiaoting would understand.

Third Person's POV

"Have you met Xiaoting?" She asked once again. You sighed but it can't be heard on the other line. "I was about to tell you earlier that she's living beside your house... have you seen her?" You turn around and looked at Xiaoting. She was silently eating in her seat, not minding the other members who were being loud.

She looks sad and you too as well. You never thought she would cheat but there she is... she even took off her ring which she promised you to never take it off no matter what the event will take place.

"Hmm, she's here" you replied sadly which was noticed by your mom immediately. "Why are you sad?" Xiaoting shot her head up and was met by your gaze.

"Huh? I'm not sad" you started fiddling with your ring, slowly taking it off. Xiaoting noticed this which made her frown.

"Okay... we're going there next week"

"WHAT" you burst out suddenly which made everyone look at you once again. Your ring also dropped on the ground without you noticing it. "Mom, you cant"

"Why? Can't I visit my daughter and future daughter-in-law?"

"But mom, I'm going to be busy" the others didn't understand it except Xiaoting and Ruiqi so they return to what they were doing earlier. Doah also flashed a worried look at you but shrugged later on.

"It doesn't matter... see you next week, okay?" You gritted your teeth. This can't be happening.

"Okay... see you" you can't just turn them down. They don't like it when you turn them down. You ended the call and then went back from your chair earlier. You bent down to reach Doah's ear and whispered at her. "I can't stay longer... I have some errands to do" she nodded her head and you turn to everyone. "Sorry, I must go now"

"It's fine... you can come back here anytime" Suyeon winked. "Sure... Jia, Ruiqi, Hikaru, and Dayeon unnie... see you all later?" The four smiled at you. "Sure boss" Ruiqi held a thumbs up. "Don't call me that" you chuckled before running off.

Xiaoting excused herself to go to the restroom. She was planning on following you until she saw your ring on the ground. She took it and went up to the bedroom to hide it. As she opened her drawers, her ring was perfectly placed on a box beside hundred more boxes of jewelry. She sighed as she opened it, she was thinking about whether should she wear hers or hide yours with her ring inside the box. "I'm done" she whispered to herself, sighing once again.

She turn to look on the balcony where Doah saw you for the first time and surprisingly, you were there. Xiaoting made her way out and saw you wiping off something on your face. It can't be made up since you were wiping with your hands.


"Is she crying?" She asked herself. You looked up and saw Xiaoting staring back at you on their balcony. You glared at her before walking back inside of your room, closing your curtains so you would never see her face again.

She messed up pretty big this time.

And you're not sure if that mess is cleanable.
