Xiaoyang's POV...
I felt like my heart just got struck by a lightning as I read the message from Linh, taking my time to focus on each word in the message. My greatest fear just came true when I realized that she's asking me the question which I am most afraid of in the first place. I want to hate myself for actually playing with fire. I mean, I'm married yet I was slightly flirting with a young girl who I met at the gym, only to later got anxious when she revelead her age. Xiaoyang, what in the world were you thinking at that time? You know well that it wouldn't be a good thing if you did had a fling with her only to eventually made her catch deeper feelings when you can't even give her a proper relationship in the first place.
I sigh as I rub my head. I officially put myself in a state where I feel messed up. In fact, I think this is one of the most messed up state in my life. However, the least I could do right now is give her a proper answer, when giving a proper relationship would be impossible. At least, that's the least I could do. I begin to type the answer I am willing to give her. I'm not gonna make this too long, since I want to keep it simple, short, yet sharp. Well, hopefully not too sharp which could lead to her crying, though I have a feeling she's going to get disappointed anyway with this.
Meanwhile...
At The Capital Rooftop Bar & Lounge...
"I am awesome," says Minh as she lies her head down on Linh's shoulder, who is also quite tipsy at this moment.
"You two look like you need some sleep," Hoang adds. Deep down, he thought that his two sisters just look like two desperate people with lack of sleep.
"Just drunk, not sleepy, Brother," Linh says.
Just then, Linh hears the sound of her phone's notification. In a lazy manner, she grabs her phone from her small bag  yet her mind is quite excited as she expects it to be a reply from Xiaoyang. Without any hesitation, she clicks on the message icon which signals a new message from Xiaoyang.
Yet, to Linh's surprise, her heart almost stop as she reads the message she just received from Xiaoyang. In a drunk state, she wanted to believe that she didn't read what she thought, but she knew that her eyes are sober enough to still see clearly the words in the message from Xiaoyang.
"You're a good girl, but actually I already have someone else." - Xiaoyang.
Like being shot by a bullet right in the heart, Linh couldn't handle the sudden shock she is experiencing just by reading the message from Xiaoyang. She wanted to believe that he was joking, but remembering Xiaoyang's shy yet serious nature, she knew that he is not the type of man to joke around about this matter. Heartbroken, hurt, and drunk at the same time, Linh didn't want to think anymore further, yet she also didn't want to leave Xiaoyang on read without a reply. She thought she needed to at least give him a reply.
"Ok. Thanks for being honest." - Linh.
While struggling to hold back the tears in her eyes, Linh puts her phone back inside her bag, not wanting to read anymore messages at the moment. Impulsively, she grabs her glass of cocktail and drinks it without thinking twice, knowing that she could get more drunk after. Yet, she didn't care about that and didn't even want to think about what's gonna happen next. Right now, she just wants to forget about the disappointing message she just received from Xiaoyang. For her, having to face the reality she just received regarding her gym crush who just confessed that he has someone else was too painful than the headache after a hangover she would receive eventually. 
"Sis, you ok?" Minh asks as she noticed her sister's face suddenly looks depressed.
"I'm fine," Linh answers, though she tries her best to hide the sadness in her voice. As the music continues to play loudly through the rooftop bar, Linh couldn't help but wish she could just escape this moment. As her head starts to feel more drunk, all she wants to do right now is lie down on her bed while crying her eyes out with all her emotions.
Meanwhile...
Da Nang, Vietnam...
Nar's POV...
It's my second night in Da Nang, and glad to say that tomorrow I could go back to Ho Chi Minh since the work finished faster than I thought. I was about to fall asleep right after my quick shower, yet I thought about checking out my blog first, and write a short post. I start to write down some interesting parts from today, not much though, just the fact that the waiter from the noodle shop where I had dinner tonight was quite rude. My appetite was pretty well until his unpleasant behaviour really annoyed the hell out of me. 
Yet, there was something else that actually came across my mind today, though I wouldn't say it as something interesting, though it just made me feel odd that it actually came across my head. Somehow, the thought of a familiar, skinny-looking petite girl came across my mind. From her signature messy ponytail, to her cateye framed glasses. I wonder how did she even came across my head when I wasn't trying to think about her. Man....I think it's more sensible if I accidentally thought about some hot celebrities with gorgeous features and a hot body, since I did thought about making out with them at some points (yeah, I like to daydream sometimes). But Linh, I wasn't expecting to thought of her when I didn't plan to. Sure, I did found her to be a cute girl, well-mannered and a bit nerdy. Yet, I didn't expect her nerdy-looking, petite charisma to caught my mind at some points. To be honest, it's not that I found her to be unattractive to think about, yet I don't think she's the girl who could bring out the "hot" vibe when I'm in my own fantasy. The only time I actually thought she looked hot were the times when I saw her wearing some low neck tank tops. I was a bit surprised to know that despite being skinny, her chest looks quite...full. Well, as a grown man, I wouldn't deny that I do have a dirty mind at least sometimes, yet fantasizing about Linh just feels a bit illegal. Though there were times I did found her to look kind of sexy, she's still just a nerdy girl and I don't think she's the type who would go down for a one-night-stand. She look like someone who takes feelings seriously.
Ok, enough with all those thoughts about her. Man, why am I even thinking about her again at this hour? I decided to put my phone down on the small table next to my bed. It's time to get some shut eyes.
To be continue...
