Episode 3: Round three, Stage Two, Part 5
Lian looked over at Gong Xi, wondering if she was expecting others to come over or if Mr. Du came back from notifying the staff that Gong Xi was safe and here. Gong Xi just shrugged but had a nervous feeling in her stomach on who it was. That person and Dun He Lian in the same room was bad. Very bad.
Before Gong Xi could stop him, Lian got up to answer the door. There, as she expected, Bu Po Shang stood with a scowl on his face at the sight of Dun He Lian answering the door. Lian put on a charming smile and said, "Hello, can I help you?"
Shang scoffed. His face looked as if he was tempted to spit on Dun He Lian's suave face. Instead he said, "Actually, you can't help me. When did you ever help when you were needed, huh?" Bu Po Shang smirked at Lian's confused expression. "Oh, you don't know? There was a creep stalking Gong Xi for a few weeks now, and you know who saved her when she went missing? Me!"
Lian's eyes widened in shock and anger. His grip on the door tightened, almost to the point where it could possibly break. "What... What did you say?"
"Yeah, your so-called girlfriend was in trouble and her boyfriend couldn't be there to sweep her off her feet," Shang pressed.
"Shang!" Gong Xi yelled, finally stepping in. She turned to Lian and said, "Sorry, I'll take care of this." She walked over to the door, and yanked Shang to the side of the hallway. "Why did you do that?" Shang was shocked at Gong Xi's anger in her eyes. It wasn't the anger he saw that wanted him dead. No, it was the type of anger a parent would give there child to make them apologize. Does she really care this much for this guy to defend him even though he hadn't helped her?
"He won't bother you anymore," Shang said instead, looking away.
Gong Xi sighed. "What did you do?" She asked. Shang didn't answer. "Why did you do it?" She asked instead.
"I don't know," Shang said. "Maybe I still... think of you as a friend..." He looked as if he wanted to say something different but something stopped him. He turned away and started off to his own room without a good-bye.
Gong Xi went back to her room, finding that Lian had left. Oh, no! I'm sorry, Lian! I should have told you! She yanked at her hair in frustration. He's probably disappointed of me!
The next week, they finished up their filming on the island resort, but it wasn't how it was before she disappeared. Many had asked what had happened when she disappeared, already had suspicions that she had a stalker from her behavior. What Gong Xi dreaded the most was the scenes with Lian. They would shoot the scenes professionally, then when Director Hong Long says "Cut!", Lian would just walk away. She knew she should have told him about the Beagle but she didn't know what his reaction would be.
It was the day that they were leaving back to Taipei. The Love Me members had their things packed and ready, waiting outside of the hotel for the others. Shu Fang was explaining to Qin what her and Gong Xi's role was in Box R and that she should make a guest appearance on the next season. Qin seemed to consider this with a nod. It took awhile for Gong Xi to realize that she didn't have Corn in her pocket.. Every since Zhou Mi told her to get rid of it, she tried to keep it with her always except when filming.
"I'll be back," Gong Xi told them. They gave her a look. "I promise, I'm just going to double check something." They both sighed and shook her head. Just when they started to protest, she was already gone.
"Where is it, where is it?" Gong Xi mumbled to herself, searching down the hallways of the hotel, ignoring the weird looks the guests were giving her. She even checked around the gift shops.
Lian had been walking around, trying to clear his head before they flew back to Taipei. He was overhearing Bu Po Shang and Gong Xi's conversation in the hallway. Was Bu Po Shang going to say, "Maybe I still have feelings for you after all"? This was dangerous. He had tried hard to try to distance himself from this girl but everything was always drawing him back to her. Plus, the rumors of them dating forced them even closer. And don't forget Gong Xi's adorable adoration and praise for me, Lian added. Was it fate that they would be working together after all this time of her obsession of taking him down? If that is so... Then I guess I'll have to step in fate's path to prevent that, no matter how dangerous it is.
"Corn? Corn, are you here?" He heard a familir voice mumble, her footsteps coming closer. It reminded Lian of the times when they were little by the river. Gong Xi appeared around the corner, searching the ground.
"You lost Corn again?" Lian spoke. Gong Xi jumped. Lian gave her a gentle smile. "I'm sorry, did I startle you?" Gong Xi nodded timidly. "I'm sorry for just leaving without telling you and I know you've been trying to call me alot but I haven't been answering despite the fact that I missed you calling every now and then." His junior looked at the ground, hiding her blush.
"And I'm sorry, I should have told you what was going on... I was just worried about your reaction," Gong Xi said. She hung her head in shame.
Lian came over and wrapped his arms around Gong Xi protectively. "It's okay," he whispered. Gong Xi sighed, leaning in to him. She felt safe in his arms. Like he was another Corn.
"So you weren't kidding when you said you were someone else's girlfriend. My bad," Zhou Mi remarked from behind them.
Lian released Gong Xi from his embrace but still kept an arm around her waist. "So you're the creep that was stalking my girlfriend," Lian said in a low voice.
Zhou Mi laughed from amusement. "Well from what happened last week, it looked as if Bu Po Shang was her boyfriend."
Lian removed his arm from Gong Xi and took a step closer to Zhou Mi. The rock star stepped back, more liked staggered, like he was hit with a wave. "Whoa... your energy! I'm sensing that you're hidinig something from her, am I right? Something similar to this peculiar rock." He held out Corn from his pocket, waving it in front of Lian's face. Zhou Mi looked at Gong Xi. "You drop this when your knight in shining armor swooped by. I suggest that you destroy it-"
"Never!" Gong Xi yelled like it was the most ridiculous thing to say.
Zhou started to laugh, but it was cut short from the look that Dun He Lian was giving him. It was full of darkness. More darkness than Zhou Mi can handle. Like a dangerous hostel energy. Zhou Mi gulped. Never in his life did he sense so much darkness in them. This was someone that shouldn't be messed with.
"I believe this is hers," Lian said, his voice still low and serious. Zhou Mi didn't put up a fight, handing the purple rock over with ease.
Gong Xi watched in amazement as Lian easily made Zhou Mi hand over Corn without even beating him up. What was strange though, was the fear showing in Zhou Mi's eyes. He quickly changed his expression to indifference, swiftly turned, and left, his long jacket flapping behind him dramatically. Lian turned to look at Gong Xi, giving her another gentle smile. "Let's go, Xiao Xi."
When Shu Fang and Qin started to get anxious from waiting so long -the bus already there to pick them up- Gong Xi appeared along with Dun He Lian. He had an arm wrapped protectively and possessively around her waist. Gong Xi smiled and waved at them like it was nothing.
"Why is Gong Xi still in Love Me section, again?" Shu Fang whispered to Qin. The taller girl just shrugged, watching her best friend with amusement.
The couple came over to them. Lian gave them a small bow. "Sorry for keeping Gong Xi for long. I was heading back here when I spotted Gong Xi looking for something. I guess we lost track of time. Sorry." Cue charming smile. The couple grabbed their things from the side and boarded the bus together, meeting Mr. Du around the middle of the seats. Mr. Du smirked at Lian, spotting his arm around a certain girl, receiving a roll of the actor's eyes in response.
Bu Po Shang and Yang was the last ones to board the bus. There was a weird feeling in Shang's stomach when he saw Gong Xi leaning against Dun He Lian. As long as it's not that creep, he assured himself.
They drove to the airport, and boarded the plane, Gong Xi was seated next to Lian again. During the flight, Gong Xi fell asleep, her head on Lian's shoulder. Lian looked down at her and smiled. Someone like him doesn't deserve someone like her. Once they go back to Taipei, they'll have to show everyone what kind of couple they are. Meaning Gong Xi has to get out of her comfort zone and Lian has to control himself when they are needed to show public affection.
Lian sighed, staring out of the window, watching the clouds go by. For a while, he closed his eyes and reminisce the times when they were little. Again, a genuine smile formed on his lips, his hand unconsciously smoothing Gong Xi's dark hair. He slowly shifted so he could rest his head on hers. He closed his eyes and together, they slept through the whole flight.
~Zhe shi ai dang wu xin shang hai [gai zen me ban?] zhe shi ai dang pi qi geng gai [chu ni yi wai]~
~This is love when you don't hurt one intentionally [what can I do?] This is love when I changed my personality for you [out of your expectation]~
An: What a sweet way to end an episode. :) Since internet is down, the translation for This Is Love is probably off since I'm using my junk phone to try to search the lyrics. It can't even view videos!
