Promise for now

For the rest of the day at the station, it went so awkward for An Le. She doesn't know what to do now. Everything happens way to fast, that she can't even think properly. She isn't sure if the things Song Zihan said was true. She doesn't even know what that kiss was suppose to mean.

In the office, as they are working, An Le slowly took a peak at him. Song Zihan is concentrated on his work, but he notices her staring.

"Have a question?" as he looks up at her from his computer. An Le jumps a little, and quickly shakes her head. "No."

Song Zihan laughs, "I have a question though."

An Le looks at him, "What's the question?"

"I still haven't had my answer from you yet?" Song Zihan said it with a smile. For some reason An Le's face starts to reddens. It reminds her back to the kiss before. She quickly straightens her back, "you should know my answer. I'm not gonna marry you."

"Why?" as he asks her.

"There's no why. We just can't." An Le took her cup, and walks out the office. "Phew, why does he want me to even marry him. This stupid idiot."

As she walks back with her cup of water, An Rong came up to her. He gave her a smile with a weird eye look. "So, sis. Is Song Zihan gonna become my brother in-law?" as he puts his hand around her.

An Le gave him a look, and push his hand away. "We're not gonna get marry." Hearing the news, An Rong quickly walks up to her. "Why though? He's not bad, and he even kissed you in front of the whole station." Bringing that up again, makes An Le can't stop forget it. She stops walking, and turn to him. "A kiss doesn't mean I have to marry him. I didn't agree to this, and I won't agree to this." She turns back, and walks down to her office.

It's 5pm already, and it's time to get out of work. An Le took a big stretch, and starts packing for her things. "I'll wait for you downstairs," as Song Zihan said to An Le. She nods, and he walks out the door.

After about five minute of packing her things, she walks down the stairs with a big yawn on her face. She looks around at the empty station, and so no one there. "Where did everyone go?" as she wonders and yawns again. As she was about to walk out the station door, a set of lights from the inside starts to open. She turns around, and saw the inside light open.

"What's going on?" as she asks. But there was no response.

She walks into the room without thinking much, and suddenly a person from behind jumps on her.

"SURPISE!!!!" as An Rong screams.

An Le jumps up, and the tiredness from before is gone. As she was about to yell at An Rong, she notice the whole station people are standing together.

"What's happening?" as she asks.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR An Le. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU." Chief Song came out from the crowd along with Song Zihan.

"Happy Birthday An Le,"as Chief Song said.

"Thank you," as An Le smiles.

"Have you forgotten your own birthday already?" as Song Zihan notices her reaction.

"That's non of business," as An Le said.

"Isn't today's An Rong's birthday too then?" as Inspector Lin asks. "Oh, right. You guys are twins," as another team member said.

"Mine birthday is tomorrow, since I came out a few minutes late," as An Rong explains.

Everyone nods their head, and turn back their eyes on An Le. "Dr. An, why don't you come and cut the cake?"

An Le walks up to where the cake is, and saw it was her favorite strawberry cream cake. As she was about to cut the cake, Song Zihan stops her. "Aren't you gonna make a wish?" as he looks at her.

An Le smiles, and looks at the cake.

"I don't believe in making a wish will really make it come true." She takes the knife, and cuts it right through.

As they eat the cake, An Rong is telling everyone to buy him a cake too. But everyone is too busy to listen to him.

"An Le, I need to talk to you," as Chief Song pulls her to the side.

"I've heard what happened today. I've known what Zihan did to you wasn't right, but I must agree to his idea. Right now you are in danger, and I can't risk any of you getting hurt. Or else how will I tell your mom when I see her." Chief Song saids while looking at her with a worry face.

"Uncle Song don't say that. I'm fine right now, and marriage is not an easy thing. Me and Song Zihan can't be," as An Le answers back.

"Why can't be? You guys grew up together, and known each other since. Don't tell me you don't have any feelings for him?" as he look seriously into her eyes.

An Le thought about his question, and then looks at Zihan from across the room. "An Le, I'm not rushing you. But I just want you to think it through. I just want you and your brother to live in a safe, and happy environment." He gives her a pat, and walks back upstairs.

She stood in the corner for sometimes to think, and Song Zihan walks up to her.

"Let's go home," as he looks at her and then turns his back.

An Le looks at the man right in front of her, and thinks back to the scary cat boy from fifteen years ago. She smiles, and then follows him out.

As they are in the car, no one talked a word. The question that Chief Song asks kept coming back to her head. 'All these years, are you sure you don't have any feelings for him?' Then, her brain flashes back to where he kissed her. Even though today everything happens too fast, she understands that they are doing this to protect her.

Shortly, the car pulls up in front of the house.

"You go in first, and I'll park the car in the lot," as Song Zihan said while looking at the space out An Le.

"Did you hear me?" as he asks her again.

An Le turns around and looks at him in his eyes. "Song Zihan, are you serious about before?" as she asks him.

Song Zihan knows what she's asking, and seriously said yes. Hearing the answer, An Le said "oh."

"That's it?" as he asks her.

An Le looks at him again, "why did you kiss me before?" as she asks him.

"I said I will marry you, and I want to tell you that I'm serious." An Le nods, "so you mean that the kiss meant nothing?"

The questions struck Song Zihan. He looks at her tremble face, "of course it meant something. It meant that I'm being serious about this, and I'm not playing around."

An Le nods, and then walks out the car.

Song Zihan is so confuse of her actions, and follows her out the car.

"An Le, what was that for?" as he asks her.

"Well, since you ask me to marry you. And you wanted me this badly, I'll promise you for now." She gave him a pat, and then walks in the house leaving Song Zihan dumbfounded.

"An Le! What do you mean I wanted you so badly? Stop putting in words that I didn't even say," as he follows her in.
