I stopped while Chance kept entering the restaurant. I walked inside and Chanyoung was waiting for me, smiled and then he took my hand leading me inside.
"Elsa.." I turned around.
"Oh hey.." I only said that.
"You’re with Chance?" He asked and I nodded.
"Are you okay?" Chance asked me, I looked at Baekhyun.
"I'm not feeling well, look I'm so sorry. Chance, I swear I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you, I promise. I will buy dinner or lunch or brunch soon. I promise I'm sorry!" I looked at Chance and he nodded.
"I'll take you home." Chance said.
"No, I'll take her." Jayson took my hand and we walked out the restaurant. This is the situation that I never . There are tons of paparazzi in front of the restaurant.
"Jayson, is this your girlfriend?"
"Jayson, is it true that you're getting married?"
"I saw you coming with Patricia earlier."
"Jayson, who is this?"
Jayson kept silent and his grip tightened. I kept my head down. He pulled me to his car. He opened the for me. I got in and he quickly got into the driver seat.
"I'm sorry for that." He said and I nodded. He drove to my apartment, he even parked his car and followed to my apartment. I let him in, I walked to my kitchen and searched for a medicine. I looked around my .
"Let me help." Jayson said as he helped me to look for the medicine.
"Here!" He got it first.
"Thankyou."
"So you're with Chance?" He asked, I closed my eyes.
"We were just going to have a dinner thats all."
"Go rest." He said. My head felt so heavy, I walked but I tripped and Jayson caught me.
"Let me help you." He carried me inside my bedroom. He put me down, and tucked me into bed. I closed eyes and fell a sleep.
Jayson Moretti
I watched her as she fell asleep. I pulled a chair next to her bed and sat there watching her. I felt her body by putting my hand on her head. She’s burning.
I tucked her blanket until it reached her chin. I walked out her bedroom and search for a small towel. I to get a warm water too. After I got them both, I walked to her room again and started to put the wet on her head. She seemed so tired and she moved in her sleep. Her hand came out from the .
I looked at the ring that attached on her left hand. Her ring finger was so red and blue. It seemed she tried hard to get it out. I don't even want that ring to get back to me. I wanted it to attach on her hand.
I looked at her face, so pale. When I first saw her, I don't know what came into my mind. I attached the to her and pretended that she's my fiance. I chuckled remembering that moment. Elsa’s expression priceless but she managed to act.
Honestly, I have known her since high school. She's quite a popular girl back then. Suddenly I when we ate at the festival. She tried a lot of food and she just ate without thinking. I love side about her.
Honestly she's different from any other girls. She's not just kind but she's a hardworking girl. She's simple, , attractive and a fun girl to be with. No wonder Chance was attached to her too.
Even I honestly like to be around her because it's comfortable. I know sometimes I'm being rude to her it's I don't trust girls that easy since Patricia.
I said to her that after the Winter Ball, I will let her go. I regreted saying that I swear. I don't think I can let go that easy. I looked at her, this girl is making me crazy. She made me have insomnia.
I remembered when she's at my parent's house. I wanted to drop her home, when I walked downstairs already disappears. I swear I was so worried because it's late and she was wearing a dress.
She thought she can do everything by herself and she thought that she will be safe if she got home alone night. She made me worried and sometimes I can't concentrate on my work thinking and worrying her.
I went to stalk her when she went to the library. I sat on her 2 o'clock position. I put so many books to hide . I watched her as she look for a book. She can't reach the book and when she's looking for a . I took the book for her and put it on the middle shelf. I walked away from there. I went back to my and looked at her so serious working on her project.
She often yawning and I chuckled to see that. She's cute. She often slap herself so she can focus. I put a on and walked out to the nearest seven eleven to buy her a hot coffee and bread. I bet she doesn't this morning.
I walked to the library and such a perfect timing that she went out. I put it on her desk and looked at her . I chuckled as I read it.
I quickly walked back to my seat and watched her as she entered bringing her 2 cans of cold coffee. She confuse when she saw there's a hot coffee and a bread. She looked around but I managed to .
As time passed, she fell asleep. I went to my car to take my blanket. I walked back and put the blanket to . She moved a little and I walked back. I watched her sleep. I even took a picture of it.
Now she's sleeping again in front of me but this time she's sick. I took her hand and held it. Her hand is so . I held it and stroked her hair.
"I will never let you go, mark my words.. I’ll never leave you, Elsa. I won't let you go."

Chapter 12
I opened my eyes slowly and I felt the warmness in my hand. Jayson's head beside me and he was sitting the floor, he must be tired. I smiled and thankful that he’s here. I touched my forehead and there's a . I let his hand go slowly and got out from my bed.
I wanted to cook something. Curry will be nice. I started to cook, I looked at the clock. It's 6 in the , I have class in 3 hours and I have to work at 3 p.m until night. Tonight, Jennifer will come here we will have a girl's night.
After I was done cooking, I walked to my room and found Baekhyun still sleeping in an awkward position.
I kneeled down and poked him.
"Jayson.. Jayson.." I poked his shoulder, he moved.
"Jayson, get up." I poked his body again, he started to open his eyes. As soon as he saw me he touched forehead and he smiled.
"Just rest for today, will you?" He said as he held my hands together. I looked at him and smiled.
"I'm fine.. you don't need to worry."
"You're too tired, can you take a day off today?" He said and I shook my head
"I can't I have work."
"Can someone replace you for today?" He asked, I shook my head.
"Come on let's eat, I made you a curry." I pulled his hand and we walked outside.
"Do you like curry?" I asked and he nodded.
"Sit and eat."
“Okay.” He said as he looked at the food in front of him. He took a bite and he looked up to me.
“Is it good?”
“Yeah, it is..” He said and I sat down across him taking a bite too.
“Wow..” I said and he kept eating.
“Thank you.”
“For what?”
“Taking care of me..” I said and he nodded.
“Do you have class today?” He asked as he looked at me.
"Yeah in 3 hours."
"I'll dropped you there."
"It’s okay. You’re going to work right? I can go there by myself."
"I said I'll drop you."
"I said no need."
"Elsa.."
"What?"
"Stop being stubborn will you?"
"You have work."
"It's my own company, I can do whatever I want. No one will scold me for being late."
"But-"
"No buts.."
"About the ball tomorrow.."
"What about it?"
"What time will you pick me up? What color should I wear?" I asked.
"I'll pick you up at 6.30 and for the color I'll inform that later."
"Okay."
After we ate, he casually sat on the sofa and watch TV. He sat beside me and I looked at teh clock.
"You know you can go home and shower and then go to work.."
"I can do that later."
"Okay." I stood up but he stopped me.
"What?" I asked. He suddenly interwined his hand with mine. I raised my eyebrows confused.
"Don't try too hard about the ring, you will hurt yourself." He said as he looked at my hand.
"I-It-its your moms, I have to get it out and return it to where it belongs."
"She gave it to me so I can give to the person that I will spend the rest of my life with."
"Don't worry, I'll get out in time befo-"
"I don't want it to get out from your finger anyway." We both looked at each other and I looked away.
"Jayson, it's not mine so I have to find a way to get it out." I said and made my way to the bathroo. I took a , I put on my white skinny jeans and light blue long sleeve shirt. I put my hair down and put a little of make up. I went out from my room and saw Jayson yawning so wide it makes me chuckled. He to me and his eyes widen.
"You look beautiful." He said.
"Thanks."
"We still have around 2 hours, you want to go now?" He asked and I nodded.
"After this, you can go home and rest for a bit." I smiled
"I told you I-"
"I know." I got out from my apartment and he followed. We got into his car and he drove in a different to my campus.
"Jayson, it's the other way. I think you miss-"
"I know."
"So where are we going?"
"Somewhere beautiful."
"Where?"
"Be patient." He turned to me for a split second. He drove to a high place and as we arrived we can see whole Los Angeles. I took a picture with my phone and closed my eyes to feel the breeze. I sat on the side of the car and he sat next to me. I was still admiring the view.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" He asked.
"Yeah it is."
"I always go here if I need some time to relax."
"You seem lonely.." I looked at him, he nodded.
"I don't have a sibling and my parents always teach me to be independent."
"You won't feel lonely anymore now, I'll teach you how to have fun." I patted his shoulder, he chuckled.
"How about you?" He asked.
"My parents is in Dallas, I have one little sister, she’s younger than me by 4 years."
"Her name?"
"Hannah."
"I bet she's like you."
"Yeah basicly the same." I chuckled remembering me sister.
"We still have around 1 hour 16 minutes." He said as he looked at his watch.
"Yeah it's fine, I can ride a bus down there."
"I said I will drop you."
"Okay."
"Are you cold?" It's a little bit cold but I can hold it. I shook my head. He went inside his car and took a . He put the jacket to me and sit beside me again.
"Let's share it." I sit closer to him and shared it. He put his arms around my shoulder. Okay this is .
"Don't try to take the ring off, I think it's stuck there because at last it finds it's owner." He smiled to me I looked at the ring.
