Chapter 15：Angel in My Arms

"Come on in," Yu Jin asks while opening the door wider. Xiao Ping goes inside and glancing around for a second. "Your place is really neat, " she flatters. For a single man cave, Yu Jin's apartment is considered clean. Yu Jin smiles as his hand closing and locking the door.

"Why don't you sit. I will make you a warm milk," Yu Jin orders, pointing onto his white sofa. Xiao Ping obeys. "Wow, it's so comfortable," she again flatters while her hands punch the soft sofa. In the kitchen, Yu Jin can not hold a smile to hear it.

Xiao Ping then sits and once again lets her eyes wander around. Her eyes are captivated by a frame stands on the desk beside the sofa. "Tokyo tower," she whispers to her self to see the picture of the young Yu Jin posing in front of Tokyo tower. Xiao Ping rests her head on the sofa armrest while her eyes doesn't move from the picture.

Yu Jin shows out from the kitchen. His left hand is bringing a water bowl and a small tower. His right hand brings a glass of hot milk. He lets a chuckle when seeing Xiao Ping has already fallen in a deep sleep. He puts the bowl and glass on the table. Gently he takes the photo frame from Xiao Ping's embrace and put it back where it always is.

Yu Jin twists the towel inside the bowl, then gently wipes it on to Xiao Ping's face. May due to the overwhelming tiredness, Xiao Ping does like not triggered by it. After her face is clean, Yu Jin takes off her shoes. He then stands up and carries her. Xiao Ping mumbles in her sleep. Unconsciously she moves her left hand around Yu Jin's neck. This position makes her face becomes so close to Yu Jin's. Yu Jin can kiss her cheek without even moves his head, if he wanted to.

Gently, afraid to wake her up, Yu Jin carries Xiao Ping into his bed room. He lays her on the bed and covers her with bed cover up until her neck. Before he goes, Yu Jin neats her falling hair and gives her a small smile. He approaches his computer desk within a few steps. He then sits in front of the computer. Once again he turns to Xiao Ping and stares at her with a soft eyes.

------------------------------

Yu Jin wakes up when he felt the sun shine hits through his face. Slowly he blinks and frowns. Still in the same phase, he stands and sits on the sofa where he slept. He sees a tray full of a mug of coffee milk, a bowl of noodles, and a letter on the table. While his left hand is reaching the mug, he reads the letter.

"Yu Jin,

Thank you. I've given you so much trouble. It seems like you're studying until very late, I had no heart to wake you up. I'm going to the airport this morning. Takeshi is going to go home and I want to be there to say goodbye ^_^ Don't worry, I will definitely straight to home after that. Once again, Thank you ^_^

Xiao Pig

PS: Hopefuly the noodles and coffee hasn't been cold when you are awake. Btw, my father said, it is better to drink tea in the morning, but it seems you don't have any. So I make you a coffee milk instead."

Yu Jin smiles so sweetly after finished reading the letter. He then sips the cold coffee milk.

----------------------------------------

Xiao Ping stands in front of the departure door. She is so excited. She came really early in the morning so she could stand as close as possible from the entry door. She didn't even bother to change her clothe. Fortunately, her effort was not fruitless. She stands in the front row while behind her there are a lot of fans who also awaits for Takeshi. Xiao Ping stands firmly. Even though her legs is starting to feel tired, but she has no intention to move from her place.

Half an hour later, it is becoming more crowded. Soon after a car stops in front of departure terminal's gate, some muscular men show out and start forming a line formation to make a small path.The crowd pushes forward, force Xiao Ping to make a few steps to adjust her balance.

"Don't jostle !" one of the muscular man commands, but seems to be ignored. The atmosphere getting more chaotic when Takeshi comes out the car. Xiao Ping who is on front once again pushed forward, stuck between the crowd behind her and the hands of the bodyguards who form a firm posse.

"Aaaww!" Xiao Ping shouts, trying hard to keep on standing with her eyes doesn't move an inch from Takeshi. Takeshi is getting closer and closer. The push from behind is also getting stronger. Xiao Ping stands tottery but her hands excitedly wave to Takeshi.

Exactly when Takeshi is only a meter from her, out of nowhere a great strength of power pushes Xiao Ping. It is so powerful that it can break the men's grip. As Xiao Ping depended on the grip to stay in balance, once it was lost, so is Xiao Ping's balance.

Xiao Ping trembly steps, trying to keep her balance, but she knows she is going to fall. Xiao Ping closes her eyes, preparing her self to feel the hardness of the floor. But to her surprise, she feels a hand captures her body.
