Song LinLin, "Because today I'm gonna kill you!!"

She said each word gritting her teeth tightly in anger.

Han Tian, "..."

"Is she serious?? Does she have to be so fierce??" He thought.

He closed his eyes and calmed himself down, "LinLin.. what's the matter?? Why are you doing this?? Stop this act now!! We both know.. why I always get late. Can you please chuck this topic now!!" He sounded serious.

After hearing his words, LinLin too got serious, "I'm tired.. Tian!!" She sighed, "I can't do this anymore.. Can't we tell our family about us??" she looked at him with sad pout.

Han Tian sighed and leaned forward on the table. He took her hands and entwined them with his, he spoke in soft tone, "If you want that we will do this. You know na.. I'm more impatient then you to reveal our relationship to our families but we both know.. we can't do that!! I hope you understand what I mean, right??"

Song LinLin bobbed her head sadly and looked outside the window to hide her sadness. Han Tian too felt bad but what can he.. no one can do anything. He just kissed her hands trying to stay strong for both of them. He asked her to look at him.

She looked at him with tear filled eyes. Something very hard pricked Han Tian's heart seeing her tear filled eyes, seeing her cry is the last thing he wanted to see. He never wanted her to cry. He always wish for her happiness. After all, she is his most treasured possession, which he doesn't want to lose.. ever.

He tried to cheer her up, "What do you want to eat??" he distracted her mind.

"Nothing!!"

"How about chocolate mousse cake?? After all, it's your favorite. Wait, let me order it for you!!"

"Han Tian!!"

"And yeah.. let's order some drinks too!"

"Han Tian!!"

"Or.. how about we go somewhere else. Let's go and have some Ramen today. It's been a while we had some!!"

"Han Tian!!"

Suddenly, he started to avoid her, trying hard not to show his anxiety and fear of losing her which can be clearly seen in his eyes. He doesn't want her to see such emotions in his eyes.

He promised himself the day they started dating that for him she is the only one for him, and no one else can take her place in his heart. He promised himself, that he will always show his good and happy side to her, and will hide his pain from her. But today, after seeing tears in her eyes.. he didn't knew what happened. So, he decided not to show his face to her, and will try to make her happy again.. so that he can bring smile on her face again.

"Get up!! Let's go and have some ramen. Come!!" He got up from his seat and grabbed her hands to take her out for having some ramen.

"Han Tian.. but.." She tried to protest but immediately got stopped by him.

"P-Please LinLin.. not right now!! Please!!" He pleaded, "I really don't want to stay here. Please.. let's go out from here. I don't want to waste our date tonight!!"

Song LinLin sighed, "Fine.. Let's go and have some ramen then!!" she figured out that he is trying to hide something from her. She knows him well, and right now she knew that he is trying hard to not to show his anxiety and fear of losing her.

"Idiot!! Does he really think that I don't know him. Why are you like this.. Tian?? Why do you have to hide everything from me?? Why??" She sighed heavily.

She never asked him anything because she knows that he is man of his pride, and she never wanted to anything which hurt his pride. She just let him do what he wanted to do though she felt bad but she knows one thing very well and that is.. that he is the only one for her and one one can replace his place in her heart, and she can do anything for him.

It is rightly said, "The people in love always try to show their best to each others, and try hard to not let them know about their pain and sufferings."

Han Tian smiled seeing her getting agreed. He quickly dragged her out from cafe. They hopped in his car and drive off to the very famous ramen shop in town.

On the way, Song LinLin looked at his side profile by leaning on car window. She admired his side profile.

Han Tian's features were striking, pointed nose, sexy thin lips, deep brown eyes which holds extreme charm which will force you to held your breath, sharp jaw line, and the most important feature and Song LinLin's favorite.. the small mole right above his lips making him alluring, with such features like this, she thought it would be shame to not to compare him with Greek God.

Han Tian was fully focused on driving, his eyes were stick on the road ahead when he felt her intense gaze on him. He glanced at her and chuckled lightly, seeing how cutely and intensly she is looking at him right now.

He coughed lightly to snap her out from her daze, "Did you like what you see??" he teased her.

Song LinLin snapped out of her daze and got embarrassed by getting caught by him, she bit her tounge and started to look everywhere except at him.

He let out a small laugh seeing her face flushed red in embarrassment. He extended his hands and pinched her cheeks lightly, chuckling, "Awww.. so cute!! Miss Song.. you are really so cute!!"

Song LinLin puffed up her cheeks, "I'm not cute. Stop calling me cute!!" she scolded him cutely, lightly slapping his arms.

She really hates when someone calls her "cute" or "sexy" because she thinks she is not that "cute" or "sexy" like other girls. She is just a simple girl, and she loves to stay simple.

"Yeah! Yeah! I know that!!" He laughed.

The atmosphere in car got changed, and she sighed in relief seeing him smile again.

******************************

"Tian?" She called him softly.

"Hmm?" Han Tian was looking at the menu card deciding which flavor ramen he should order for both of them.

"Umm.. I want to ask you something!"

"Huh??" Han Tian shifted his gaze from menu card to her face. He saw her biting her lower lip which is the sign that she is nervous. He raised his eyes, "What is it?"

"Umm.. Do you remember.. day after tomorrow it's our graduation day. We are graduating.. so.. umm.. I was thinking.. No.. I mean I want to ask.. Umm.. your family.. are they coming??" It took whole 5 minutes for her to complete.

Han Tian understood what she is trying to ask. He looked in her eyes and replied sincerely, "Yes! They are coming but.." he didn't completed his sentence, as if he is trying to read her expression. He noticed that she got anxious after hearing his reply, nervousness and fear can clearly be seen in her big, deep blue ocean like eyes.

"But..??" Song LinLin asked him impatiently.

"But.. they won't be staying that long. They will only stay untill I receive my graduation degree. After that, they will leave." He replied calmly.

"Ohh!!" She just replied plainly, sighing in relief in secret.

After confirming that her doubts are cleared, he began to gave their order. After sometime their order were served. He chose spicy ramen for Song LinLin, and for himself he chose black bean noodles with extra spice. They both love spicy food. They began eating.

While eating, Han Tian looked at Song LinLin. He saw her how happily she is eating her spicy ramen, seeing her so relaxed and happy he fell in daze. He started to think that how much she got scared when she heard that his parents are coming too on their graduation day, and then how her expression changed drastically.. from being scared to relaxing when she heard that they won't be staying that long. He let out a bitter smile thinking about their family.

"What about yours?" he asked her while trying to hold his noodles together with kimchi.

Song LinLin looked at him and saw him struggling with his food. She replied to him casually while helping him with his food, "They are not coming. I told them not to come."

"Why??" Han Tian got amused by her reply.

She looked at his face. She rolled her eyes at his amused expression, "Because of certain someone!!"

"Who??"

"You!!"

"What?? Me?? You stopped them coming to our graduation day.. because of me?? Me??" Han Tian got shocked.

"Yes!!" She replied slurping her spicy ramen.

"But.. why??"

Han Tian was flabbergasted by her reply. He thought, "Is she crazy?? Why did she stopped her parents coming to their graduation day because of him. Did she courting his death or what??"

Song LinLin put down her chopstick and replied in calm town, "Because of that one promise I made to myself!!"
