EGO ~ Karry Wang Junkai 王俊凯 ✔

Chapter 7

Yanxi's POV

"Will that be our song?" someone asked.

I looked up and saw Karry leaning to the wall, crossing his arms.

"Uhm, yes..?" I questioned instead of answering.

He closed the door behind him. He came closer and stood in front of the piano, looking down at me that was sitting.

He rested his arms on the top of the piano, "Why are you not sure?"

"Because I don't know if this is good or not," I replied. "Why do you care?"

He scoffed and looked at me in disbelieve, "I'm part of the group, dumbass. Of course I have to care."

"Just reminding you, last week you said that you don't want to work with me so I have to do it all alone," I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah but since you're done, I need to listen to it because I don't want people to know the song that my group made is ugly," he said.

I glared at him, "Fine fine! I'll sing it only once, and will never repeat again."

I hesitated to play the piano when he motioned me to do it. I sighed and finally played the piano. Everything went well, I didn't make any mistakes.

"Done," I said and was about to stood up when Karry pulled me down as he sat beside me.

"There are some melodies that don't match," he said, and it made me confused.

Why is he suddenly acting like this?

"This part," he said and played the piano. "Is better like this."

He was sitting so close to me, until I could smell his perfume, the same one he used when he pinned me to the wall last time. I like it, it's not too strong and it has a soft scent.

"Yanxi, listen," he said and I realized he was looking at me. "Pay attention."

I nodded and listened to what he said.

"Do you have the notes?" he asked and I handed him the notes that I always bring.

"I need to fix this," he muttered by himself and started scribbling something on the paper.

I kept quiet, watching every single movement of his. Without me wanting, my heart was beating faster than usual. He looked so cool while doing this and--

OH GOSH, STOP THINKING ABOUT HIM!!

"Why are you shaking you head?" he asked.

"I did?" I asked back.

He sighed, "What are you even thinking?"

"By the way, why do you suddenly care about this project?" I asked, trying to change the topic. "Like seriously, I thought you won't care about this at all, and you seemed like that before."

"I actually feel bad for you," he said and handed me the notebook. "There, just fix the mistakes and record it again."

He stood up and was about to go out when I stopped him, "Why did you feel bad for me? I mean, it's so not you to feel bad for someone."

"Do you think making a song is easy?" he asked back. "Everyone worked in group, but you're not."

"Then why do you just help today?"

"Why are you not asking me from before?"

"Because," I paused. It's impossible for me to say that I didn't ask because I knew he wasn't in his right condition and I didn't want to bother him.

"I'm too lazy to ask you," I replied.

He gave me a straight face before going out of the room.

I guess, he isn't that bad, maybe.

Karry's POV

She was lying. I knew exactly that she stayed quiet because she didn't want to bother me. Why? She is the type of person who will force someone to do their work if they don't want to do it. But this time, she didn't, at all.

Maybe it was because of my sudden change of mood in this whole week. I was so depressed, to the point that I wanted to hurt myself already when Roy saw me.

My parents would divorce soon. They have prepared all the documents and everything. I knew it was going to happen but still, I couldn't accept this at all. This time, they were arguing whether I should be with my dad or my mom. They were fighting over me.

I don't want to be with any of them. I'm so sick and tired of it already. All I want is that they come back together, love each other. But I knew it's not going to happen.

That's why, I really, really, couldn't control my emotions anymore, even in school. But today, I knew I had to help Yanxi with the work. I noticed her struggle when she was making the song, and I wanted to thank her for trying to understand me and not to bother me for the whole week.
