Shui Xian thought long and hard but he still couldn't recall where he had seen Hyson before. He had a feeling that they had t before but he couldn't pinpoint exactly where.
Hyson chuckled seeing Shui Xian struggling to rember him. "Don't stress over it. I actually didn't expect you to rember ." He ant what he said. It had not only been years, but it was also because Hyson felt like his whole image had changed drastically after he debuted as an idol.
Shui Xian pursed his lips as he said, "I'm sorry but I really can't rember."
"You're actually my senior," said Hyson. "We graduated from the sa university." Shui Xian's lips parted slightly while Hyson went on, "We t at the senior-junior dinner party."
Shui Xian nodded his head as he recalled finally, "Ah! I rember now! Soone even bragged about how you're a trainee at an entertainnt company already." He rubbed his brows as he went on, "It's been so long that I totally forgot about it."
Hyson waved him off saying, "It's alright. I told you, I didn't expect you to rember . We only t at those dinner get-togethers a few tis. And it's really been a long ti."
Their conversation caught Raelle's attention and she turned her head to ask, "By the ti you got into university, didn't my husband graduate by then?"
"He did," replied Hyson. And he patiently decided to elaborate for her, "Our university had a tradition, even the graduated seniors of the sa roll number would get together to et the juniors. Coincidentally, in my batch, I shared the sa roll number with Master Xian."
Raelle continued to look at him, "But you studied Music."
"So did your husband," retorted Hyson.
Raelle turned to her husband now, "You studied Music?"
While Shui Xian nodded her head, Hyson questioned, "You didn't even know that? Are you sure you're married?"
Raelle stared at his face, "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know that I was supposed to read my husband's resu before marrying him." She took a pause before adding, "Isn't it botherso to go to such dinners even after the graduation?"
Shui Xian smiled at his wife as he explained, "It's actually not botherso. This allowed juniors and seniors to have a closer relationship. And the idea of involving the already graduated ones was to allow the juniors to learn sothing from the seniors who had experience in the real world. I'd say I really liked that tradition."
"I still find it troubleso," replied Raelle.
Shui Xian wanted to say sothing when Hyson interrupted him, "Don't bother. She can't understand what you're saying. She never even had a normal academic life, how can she even understand the importance of senior and junior's relationship in our culture?"
"And I don't want to understand either," retorted Raelle.
Hyson gnashed his teeth and said, "If the people in life could be defined as a movie genre, you'd surely be nad my least favorite one: Horror!"
Raelle looked at her hands as if they were the most important thing in the world as she said, "Oh, you pitiful soul! Even if your hate this horror, yet you have to accompany to watch the horror movies every single ti."
"Ellie, I'm not scared of the horror movies you take to," began Hyson. "It's the horror of you sitting beside that is scarier! Didn't anyone tell you that even ghosts are scared of you?"
"I'm very flattered to hear that," replied Raelle.
"You both really don't talk normally?" questioned Shui Xian out of pure curiosity.
"Isn't it pretty normal?" both Raelle and Hyson asked the sa thing and at the sa ti as they shared a look.
Shui Xian nodded his head as he said, "I guess that's the definition of normal between you two."
Raelle offered him a smile before she looked around and asked, "What's taking so long?" She tapped on Hyson's shoulder as she further asked, "What are we eating tonight?"
"Food," he replied.
"I an what are we having?"
"Apparently an unwanted conversation," was his reply.
Raelle picked up the food knife from the table and traced the edges lightly as she went on, "More than this conversation, I feel like you're unwanted here."
Hyson hurriedly snatched the knife from her hand and put it far away from her saying, "Dangerous things don't look good in the hands of dangerous people." He put a hand beside his lips as he said to Shui Xian, "She is dangerous enough without a knife."
"I can hear you," told Raelle.
Hyson cleared his throat and leaned back languidly as he said, "I said it so that you can hear it. I'm an honest and upright man. I don't need to talk behind your back."
"Suddenly, I'm very curious," Shui Xian voiced out. "How did you two et?"
Hyson looked at Raelle and a sly smile blood on his lips. "Should I tell him?"
Raelle's reaction was bland as she said, "What? Are you gonna tell him how your cried and I took pity on you?"
"Hey! Do you even know the aning of pity?"
"Are you saying I'm telling a lie?"
Hyson couldn't refute her words but he still wanted to correct her, "Even if what you said is the truth, don't change the context of it. Yes, I cried but I had a reason!"
"Just because you had a reason, does that make your crying any less ignoble?"
Hyson took a deep breath and chanted loudly, "I'm a good person. I'm a very good person. I'm an extrely good person."
"What is he doing?" asked Shui Xian.
"He is reminding himself why we had been friends for fifteen years now," answered Raelle calmly.
Hyson exhaled a long breath and looked at Shui Xian saying, "I'm the sole reason why this friendship even exists. She has no hand in it."
"So, you're taking all the credit?" asked Shui Xian in amusent.
Hyson looked at his best friend as he questioned, "Ellie, do you want so credit?"
"You keep it," answered Raelle. "I don't want anything that has no value." Hyson rolled his eyes at her while Shui Xian was left staring at her wide-eyed. "Besides, does it really matter? Whether it's because of you or , the end result is that we had been together for fifteen years now. Isn't that what really matters?"
While Hyson smiled to himself Shui Xian was yet again stunned by her words.
