STRANGERS

2018

sunghoon let out a sigh as he looked out through the window to his left. the heavy rainfall harshly tapped against the glass, but the sound was peaceful, calming, in a way.

y/n walked over to her boyfriend and slightly massaged his shoulders.

"don't stress too much love, it's only going to be a year." she whispered into his ear, referring to his trip abroad to the states for a skating event.

"a year without you is a year in hell. i truly wish to take you with me.." he avoided connecting his eyes with hers, not wanting y/n to see his saddened face.

"i do too, if only the staff weren't so strict. it's a shame. i do apologize for the major inconvenience. if only luck was on our side, then maybe we wouldn't have to be alone, over 6000 miles apart."

sunghoon looked down at the floor, before a small lightbulb went off in his head. he turned to face the girl behind him, his gaze softening nearly immediately.

he stood up and patiently held out his hand for y/n to take.

"what if we were to dance in the rain? one last time before i go."

-

and so that they did. the couple walked out into the middle of the dark road, with only a single, warn out, street lamp to light their way.

it was deep into the night, no cars were driving around, especially not at this hour. sunghoon pulled out his phone and put on their shared favorite song, 'take my breath away' ( - berlin).

he reached for his girlfriend and wrapped his arms around her waist, as hers wrapped around his neck.

watching every motion in
my foolish lover's game
on this endless ocean,
finally lovers know no shame

turning and returning to some
secret place inside

watching in slow motion as you
turn around and say,

[..]
take my breath away

[..]
take my breath away

—

the two of them rocked side to side at the slow pace of the music, only maintaining eye contact through it all.

"you do, take my breath away. i hope you know that." sunghoon said out loud as he connected their foreheads.

"and you're breathtakingly attractive. i hope you know that." y/n teased.

his hold on her waist subconsciously grew tighter. the heavy rain completely soaked sunghoon's hair, yet his current appearance under the dim lighting made him occur more attractive then ever.

"i love you. i'll prove to you how my love is true when i come back."

she chuckled.

"i love you more. but you could prove it to me right now.."

"huh?"

y/n held onto his wet collar then collided her plump, yet cold, lips with sunghoon's soft, and warm ones.

the only other sound audible then the rain was the sound of kissing. nothing like romance at it's finest.. then again, you've got to enjoy this type of moment the best you could. after all, this would be the last kiss they'd ever share.

he deepened the kiss by pushing more into her lips before pulling away, him being first to break apart their mouths.

"do you promise?" y/n quietly asked.
