"I never said that my very close friend is a guy."

It was Syoaran's time to blush.


"Hahahhaha! I actually got you!" Sakura was trying to cover her laughter but wasn't able to - to Syoaran's despair.

He gave her a stern look that made Sakura laugh more when the idea of the action was the exact opposite. This made him blush again and look away.

They stayed in the balcony for some time, just staring at the sky.

Syaoran glanced at Sakura's direction and saw that she was fast asleep.

'She looks so serene..' Syaoran couldn't help but look at her sleeping face. He stood and walk to her front. He leaned closer to her. His breath caught to the beauty in front of him. He was entranced, for a second he thought of leaning closer to her, thought of how smooth her lips looks like and probably would feel that way in his lips. Just when his lips were to brush on Sakura's lips, she moved slowly opening her eyes and tried to adjust to the darkness of the night. She saw Syaoran standing in front of her, his back facing her though she can see that he was breathing hard.

"Are you ok?" Sakura asked standing up and walking up to Syaoran's side.

"Yea..Yeah. We better get inside since it's getting cold out here." He replied.

"Ok"

When they were inside the shop, they could feel heat moving through there body. Syaoran was still trying to slower down his breathing.

Sakura was still looking at Syaoran, "Are you really ok? You look like your sick or something." She closed in on him and was about to put her hands on his forehead when he suddenly brush her hands away from him.

"I'm ok, alright." Syaoran said, trying to add an irritation in his voice. He was not really sure if his alright, he couldn't believe what he was about to do to her there in the balcony. When he saw her moved all the blood felt like it was going to burst out of him. His breath was still heavy and he feels hot. All of a sudden he feels dizzy and staggered. Sakura was fast at his side.

Without hesitation, she placed her hand on his forehead, not minding the annoyed sound that Syoaran is making. 'He's burning up!'

"How can you be alright?! You're sick you stupid guy!" She practically shouted, "I'll bring you to your room."

"Wait, you're not allowed in my flat." Syaoran tried hard to keep up the pace that Sakura was making while dragging him towards the elevator.

"I know." Was Sakura's only reply, she knows that she's risking her getting caught but nonetheless, Syaoran's health hoes first.

"Then why are you still dragging me?! I can go to my own room." Syaoran said, but he's words were not as strong as his body right now and he started to stagger again. He would have fallen if Sakura wasn't there to hold him up.

"Riiighhht. Stop being stubborn already." They were at Syaoran's door, noticing that Syaoran was not alert than usual. Sakura took the courage to open his door for him. She took breathe before muttering, "Sakura."


'How in the world does she know my password?!' Syaoran must have voiced his thoughts out loud because Sakura answered, "Because I've been here before and I've heard you say your password."

Sakura brought Syaoran to his sofa, went to his bathroom and moments later she emerged with a medicine in her hands. She gave it to Syaoran and watch as he took it.

"What do you mean? How can you have been here when this place is off limits to the public?" He was now looking at her, giving her his full attention.

"Ah..I take it that you don't even remember me, figures." Sakura spoke lightly as if thinking. 'So he really doesn't remember me. Not that I have any hope of him remembering me since he wasn't able to recognize the person that he saved.'

"What do you mean by, 'figures'?" Syaoran was confused.

"If you must know, I've been here before because I brought you here in your room the day when you were also sick. We met at the elevator and you looked like you were about to faint so I brought you here despite the bickering that you made. Saying this place was off limits and all. At your door, you told me to not listen, but my curiosity level is way high than you can imagine. So, yeah, I heard you say your password. Besides, I don't think I will be able to forget it even if I want to."

Syaoran then remembered about the girl that helped him, remembered the medicine and the note that she had left. 'That was her?! I didn't even recognize her, maybe because I wasn't in my best condition at that moment.' Thinking about his password he asked, "Why wouldn't you be able to forget my password?"

"That's because, if you don't even remember," He was still looking at her waiting for her explanation, "my name is Sakura."


He is lost. Not lost, "lost". He couldn't believe it. On the second thought, he just remembered that her name is Sakura. 'Oh, right. Her name is Sakura. My password is Sakura. That's why she wouldn't even try to forget it.', He was having a hard time trying to think of what to say. The only words that came out of his mouth were, "Thank you."

"Thank you for what?" Sakura asked.

"I wasn't able to say thank you for helping me then."

"You don't have to, I haven't said my thanks that's due yet." I watch as she played with her hands. "If you remembered what I've written in the note, I said something about wanting to say something to you. I wanted to thank you for saving my life."

"Wait. What?! What are you talking about? Now I'm confused. Saved your life?! When?!"

"I figured you wouldn't remember. You saved a girl from being run over by a vehicle. That girl is me." Sakura glanced at him, when she saw that he was still looking at her she averted his gaze.

"Oh."

"And also, you helped me out when I hurt my ankle. You brought me home..and..and..massage it.." He saw her blush, this amused him.

"Oh."

"Is that all you can say?!" He watch as the red tint kept on creeping throughout her face. He couldn't stop himself. He chuckled.

Sakura looked at him, irritation clearly seen on her face. She stood and was about to get out of the room when he reached for her hand and said, "Wait."

"What?!" She looked flustered.

He leaned closer to her side and whispered to her ear, "You look cute when you blush, Sakura." He watched as she blushed even deeper he smirked and chuckled once again.

"Wha…what are you saying?! Let go of me!" Sakura was trying to free her hands from his grip. He let go. Sakura quickly opened his door and closed it as she went out.

"Goodnight, Sakura." He said to himself, his smile never leaving his face.


I ran, ran as fast as I could. Once I was in the elevator, I tried to stay calm. I could feel my heart beating fast as if it would burst from me any minute. I could feel the heat in my face. 'That's probably why he noticed.' His face was so close from me. I inhaled and exhaled, deep enough to stop myself from breathing so hard. I reached our room, once inside I went straight to bed, knowing well that I wouldn't be able to sleep.
