COSMIC Railway [EXO X OC]

COUNTDOWN 7

Jong Dae left immediately after seeing Jun Myeon kiss me. Jun Myeon stopped his kiss and asked me, "Can't you stay?" "I am sorry," I said. Jun Myeon sighed sadly. I left Jun Myeon immediately.

When I walked through the living room, Jong Dae was there, waiting for me. Jong Dae approached me right away and said, "Let me drive you home." "Oppa... I wanna be alone for now," I said. Jong Dae nodded sadly. I left grandpa's mansion immediately.

2 months later.

I mumbled desperately, "Ahh... Why is it so hard to find a job?" Suddenly my phone rang. When I knew the call was from Jong Dae, I let my phone ring until it stopped by itself. A minute later, I got a message from Jong Dae, asking if I was okay. I didn't want to pick up Jong Dae's call nor reply his message because I didn't want to get involved with the people from grandpa's mansion anymore.

When Tao arrived home, he asked me, "Any luck for today? Have you found a job yet?" I shook my head and then sighed. "Tao, do you know where is the nice bookstore located? I haven't visited any bookstore since I lived in Seoul. I used to visit the bookstore often when I was in Beijing," I said. "Sure, I will take you there. I have no class tomorrow. I will take a day off from the car wash place to accompany you," Tao replied with a smile.

I said excitedly, "Ah! I really love the smell of books!" "I will go to the computer book section," said Tao, then he left me in the novel section. I took a look at some newly released novels. When I was reading the summary of Bad Boy novel, suddenly I heard the lady who stood not far from me saying, "Finally! I've been looking for this." She looked happy with Universe novel in her hand.

The bookstore keeper who was arranging novels not far from the lady said with a smile, "You are so lucky, that's the last one." The lady smiled and said, "With this, I can attend BUN Meet & Greet event next Sunday." I looked at the lady and mumbled sadly, "Ahh... If only I grabbed it first." Tao showed up and said, "I'm done now." Tao and I went to pay our books and then we left the bookstore.

Tao and I ate lunch at the chinese restaurant not far from the bookstore. Then Tao took me to Lotte Duty Free shopping mall to buy a birthday gift for his cousin, Pei Pei.

"I wanna go to the toilet," said Tao. "Okay, I will wait here," I replied. When Tao went into the toilet, I saw Jong In and Se Hun coming out from the toilet. Jong In asked Se Hun irritably, "Why do you keep avoiding me?" Se Hun replied, "Stop following me. We are not on the same level anymore. Now you don't have car and money anymore." Se Hun left Jong In soon after saying that.

Jong In shouted angrily at Se Hun who had walked away, "I thought we're friends! How dare you do this to me??" The mall visitors who were near Jong In, instantly looked at Jong In when they were startled by his shout.

Tao came out from the toilet and said, "Let's buy something nice for Pei Pei." I replied with a smile, "A mini skirt will be a nice choice. I know her size." After walking a few steps, I turned back my head to see Jong In but he had gone already.

When Tao and I arrived home, suddenly I got an email from Qing Shia. I was shocked when I read Qing Shia's email, "Xiao Wei, please come home immediately. Your mama is in the hospital now." I replied Qing Shia's email by telling her that I would go back to Beijing tomorrow morning. A few minutes later I got a reply from Qing Shia. She told me that Yi Xing would pick me up at Beijing Capital International Airport.

When I arrived at the hospital with Yi XIng, Qing Shia and Yi Fan were shocked when they saw my new haircut which looked like a guy. Yi Fan asked, "Xiao Wei, what happened to your hair?" Qing Shia also said, "You never want to have a short haircut. Why did you cut your hair?" "I will tell you later," I replied.
