Come Back To Me (A Hobi/Reader Story)✔️

Chapter 9: Hobi/Appa

"And I'm here just, just like I used to be
We were here in old days with you, with me
All my fears have gone when you whisper to me
No matter how near or far apart, apart

When you feel so lonely, I'll be here to shelter you
When you feel so lonely, I'll be here, here for you
If I could fly above the clouds like all the birds
And I could hold you for a while to let you feel my pulse
Still here, all alone

My whole life and all my heart
You're my whole life and all my heart

And I'm here
Home, home
With you
With me"
~Kim Kyung Hee

"I love you, Hobi."
He leans you up and looks at you with an expression you can't place. You weren't afraid of his answer. You knew saying it out loud was going to be weird. But you needed to say it. There were a millon and one things you wanted to say to him in this moment. I miss you. Come home. We can figure the memory part out as we go. Explain to him what's happening, that you once knew each other. That Chanyeol was his son. That even if he forgets all again, that you wanted him to stay this time. You two have  more than proven in this short amount of time, that just because the memories are gone, doesn't mean the feelings aren't. But I love you was the only thing you could muster. Because even though you weren't afraid of your answer, we were afraid if you told him too much, he would leave again. And your heart could't handle another six years with him gone.
So I love you seemed like a good place to start, the rest would be explained in time.
"I'm sorry?" he says with a small smile and pushes your hair from your eyes again. Looking into your eyes as if he was staring straight into your heart. It didn't look he was too upset with what you said. Maybe he just gueninuenly wanted to hear it again.
But you look away from his eyes a little embarassed now and shy in front of him.
"Hey, dont ever be afraid to say what you need to say to me." he says getting you to look at him again.
"I said I love you Hobi." you repeat looking into his eyes with a smile.
"You love me?"
"Yes. I do. I love you. So much." you say just letting the feelings flow effortlessly. You knew this was going to be strange to him. But you didn't care anymore.
He takes your face in his hands again and kisses you deeply and then breaks apart and looks at you. "I wanted to say it first, but I didn't know if it was too soon. I dont understand whats going on at all, but all I do understand is that ever since Namjoon showed me your picture, I have felt a very strong connectin to you. One I refuse to ignore. And I....I love you too."
Your heart soared and you hugged him tightly when he said he loved you too. It honestly was not what you expected to hear, but you were over the moon with joy that he felt the same way.

*Time skip, a few weeks later*

After what happened in the studio with Hobi, and the two of you confessing your feelings, the two of you became inseperable. During the week when he wasn't busy or when he would leave the studio, he would come and visit you and Chanyeol. And the weekends, the two of you would go stay with him in at his and Namjoon's place in Seoul.
Over the time, Chanyeol and Hobi seemed to grow the most inseperable. Hobi would even take him on small little errands, so just the two of them to spend time together.

One night while you were tucking Chanyeol in for the night, he taps you on the hand gently and looks up to you with curious eyes as you take off his glasses and put them in their case and set them on the nightstand just behind you.
"Eomma..." he says quietly.
"Yes Channie, what is it?" you ask curiously with a smile.
"How much longer before I can call Hobi appa? It's getting harder every day to remember that I cant...." he sighs in frustration looking up at you.
"Chanyeol, I know its frustrating. Trust me there are things I want to tell him too from our old life together before you were born....but its just not the right time right now. But I promise soon, I will talk to him about it all. Ok?"
She says leaning down and kissing him on the forehead and tucking the covers around him.
"Ok Eomma."
"I know its hard, believe me, but its just a very hard and delicate situation with Appa, and we just got to make sure, he's ready for that conversation."
