chapter thirteen.

"Hey Takara, any signs of Ni-ki yet?"

"No. No luck at all."

Takara was able to hear Junghwan sighing over the other line of the call.   "Geez, where has he gone? He can't just leave us hanging like this."

"I know but let's not lose hope. Besides lunch break won't be starting until a few more minutes, and Ni-ki might be coming back right now."  she replied not wanting to make her friend stressed than the others already are.

"I hope you're right. Anyways, I need to go, let's meet up with the others at our practice room later."  and with that, Junghwan has ended the call.

Takara felt discouraged. After a whole lot of searching, she has found nothing. No signs, no trails or whatsoever. She didn't know what to do no more.

Adroit needs him.

About to enter the dome, Takara noticed that her water bottle has gone missing ever since earlier. She was sure she had packed it with her, but now she didn't know where it is. Takara tried her best to recall on where she had last seen it, and the answer immediately went directly to her head, the school bus.

Entering the vehicle, Takara checked every seat she passes by, she moved further into the vehicle and somehow spotted a person's head leaning on the window, she guessed that it might be some of Nina's news team.

Right at the corner of her eye, Takara recognises the color of her water bottle that has fallen to the floor. Walking to right near it, Takara grabbed her bottle but a more surprising view has appeared right in front of her.

She couldn't believe. She saw Ni-ki comfortably sleeping with his head nuzzled up on Saeyoung's shoulder. Takara's eyes traveled down to Saeyoung's lap which she saw Ni-ki's hand holding Saeyoung's.

Admit it or not, Takara can't hide the feeling of jealously as she stared at the boy she likes the most getting all comfortable with another girl. She felt like she just got stabbed in the back.

From all this time, Takara was worried as hell, looking for Ni-ki high and low just to be able to see him again but he was here, with another girl and that made Takara frustrated and heart broken. She can't accept the feeling that Ni-ki must be falling for a girl like Saeyoung, just no.

Not wanting to see this scene last any longer, Takara carefully removed Ni-ki's hand from Saeyoung's, and then softly waking up the blonde japanese boy from his slumber.  "Ni-ki. Ni-ki. Wake up."

Ni-ki groaned but it wasn't enough to wake him up. The boy fixed his position. If he just had his head resting on Saeyoung's shoulder then, he now has his right arm hugging Saeyoung's waist and his head snuggling more closer to Saeyoung's neck.

Takara scoffed. She won't let Saeyoung win him over.

If calling him softly won't do then Takara grabbed Ni-ki's left arm and started pulling it as she calls out his name.  "Ni-ki. Wake up, the others are looking for you." she said in a more careful way, making sure that Saeyoung won't wake up and destroy the scene.

Thankfully for Takara, Ni-ki's eyes fluttered open. He slowly started getting up as she scratches his eyes. Ni-ki slowly took a quick look around and surprisingly, he sees one of his closest teammate.  "Oh hey Takara. What are you doing here?"

"To get you of course. Me and the others have been looking for you everywhere! We were worried Ni-ki! I was worried."

Ni-ki scratched the back of his head, looking down.  "You did? Oh gosh, I'm sorry. I fell asleep."

"It's fine, you needed the rest. But next time, please tell me or at least Jungwon and the others, okay?"  Ni-ki nodded in reply. He felt guilty. Making his team worried was the least thing he needed.

"I'm so sorry Takara. I didn't mean to make you guys worried. Look, I'll pay for our team's lunch today as punishment! You guys can order anything you like, everything's on me."  Takara chuckled at his cuteness.

Takara smiled at the boy.  "You're treat? Well let's go! We're freaking hungry." Takara immediately pulled Ni-ki away from a sleeping Saeyoung, not wanting to see them together anymore. She excitedly started dragging Ni-ki who soon started laughing.

But for a moment, Ni-ki stopped from his tracks. "What about Saeyoung? Should we wake her up?" Ni-ki questioned as he looked back at the girl who was still asleep. Ni-ki didn't want to leave her alone but Takara had other plans.

"She still needs to rest Ni-ki. After earlier today's incident, her head needs to recover. Saeyoung might still feel dizzy once she wakes up." Takara explained.

Ni-ki nodded.  "I-I guess you're right." he answered still looking at Saeyoung.

Takara blocked the blonde's view and gave him small smile. She wanted to know that she is there. She wanted him to know that Saeyoung isn't the only one who needs his attention. Takara wants Ni-ki to see her, and herself only.
