FLASHBACK
________

"All flowers have different meanings Hua." Casper laid his head on my lap.
"Why Casper? Why do they?" My 13 year old self questioned.

"Because they're all special in many ways too." He smiled. The sun shined above us where we sat in the place we called, paradise. All different types of chrysanthemums swaying by the early fall breeze as time went on as we talked.

"Just like you Hua. You're special like all the flowers."

DING ZEREN
________

........

"Annyeong?"

"Ah! Hyung it's me, Zeren!"

"Omo! Zeren it's been a while! How are you?"

"Pfft it has been fine Hyung. I'm currently doing fine."

"Oh yes! Aren't you and your friends on Idol Producer?"

"Yeah. How are the others? How's it like being a mom of 19 duckings?"

"Don't even remind me Ding Zeren. My youngest is probably going through puberty... hard being a mother. I respect Zhengting for it haha."

"hehe he's a great mom to us. Tell me, how's... you know, him?"

A sigh was heard from the other line.

"Not so great. He's mostly happy in the Fall time. Apparently it's the only time he can really see his favorite flowers."

"Really huh.... They were chrysanthemums, weren't they?"

"Uh huh. He won't like any others if they don't come from the season Fall. Maybe Winter or late Summer when they come out, but he especially loves the ones in the Fall."

"I just hope he's okay."

"Same. Anyways, it's late. Go to bed child!"

I laughed.

"Of course, Good night!"

"Goodnight Ding Zeren."

CAI HUA
________

"This is my cardigan! You can't just steal it!"

"Try me you dimwit!"

"Holy- Shut up!" I yelled out of room. I was stressed and tired from the makeup work I had to do from my break from dance, and my roommates fighting over a piece of fabric didn't help at all. I laid my head on my bed as I sighed into the sheets.

That's when I heard a beep from my phone.

'baby tingting' is calling you...

I quickly pressed 'accept' and tried to look alive for the camera in front of me.

....

"I love you~~" Zhengting said as the screen popped up. I choked on my bottle of water that I started drinking from the sudden surprise that made me blush like the color of a thousand roses together.

"I-I love you too." I tried to say as I was still choked. Zhengting's face started looking worried but soon smiled as I stopped sounding loud like a dying cow.

"It's been a while since we called, hasn't it?" I laid my chin on my knee. "It's has been,"

"I'm sorry."

"Baby, what are you sorry for?" I frowned at his words. His eyes began tearing up as he bit his lip. "That I hadn't called you. You were in the hospital for fuck sakes Hua, I was really worried.." "Baby... You had to focus on the show remember, I understand.." I cracked a smiled to him.

"But-But how can I when you're in the hospital and I'm not there with you?" He croaked. He landed his head onto the pillow as tears ran down to his neck.

"But I'm out of the hospital now, aren't I?" I gently told him. The screen of him showing him hugging his stuffed bear he almost forgot before he left.

"Yeah.. But I want to be with you~" He stopped crying. His sad face then became a cute pout.

"I wanna be with you too~~~" I cooed in front of the screen.

"If both of you miss each other then just leave! We're trying to sleep here!" A voice shouted from the background.

"Respect your parents Fan Chengcheng." I scoffed. Chengcheng then appeared on the screen and stuck out his tongue.

"Anyways, you're comping to the finals, right?" Zhengting asked. I knew my exact answer was yes, but something then stopped me.

"I-"

"Go anywhere near Zhengting, I'll make you regret it."

I felt like we've been showing so much of Casper and everyone else lately, but haven't had so much of Zhengting time since it's his fanfic :(

So I added that last scene into the chapter, I promise to put more soon! ♡

And I really want to remind other people to comment questions for the characters. It's coming soon and we need a few more :( I'm sorry if I sound demanding or very annoying in fact but I hope that some of you will still comment.

I'm grateful for all of you who read this book as it's the first to reach 2K. I really mean it I love you all and thank you for all of the support you guys have given since the beginning ♡

Thank you! (๑>◡<๑)♡
