✧*̥˚ 14 | the great escape *̥˚✧

Eunwoo and I decided to go on a night stroll all the way back to our hotel after our dinner where we shared a delicious platter of Steak Frites. It was a wholesome dinner, complete with two bottles of the restaurant's best Red Wine. It was nice to be having dinner & drinks with him; it was helping me get my mind off the article that I read earlier about Minhyun's possible relationship with his co-star.

Right after reading the article, I wanted to send Minhyun a message and ask about it but I stopped myself. I decided against it because I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. However, I couldn't help feeling a heavy and uncomfortable weight in my chest at the thought that he may like someone else. My mind races with questions and doubts about everything that has happened between us and I feel a sense of sadness; our magical memories together have started to become tainted.

But right now, I was currently numb to all these heavy thoughts and emotions because of the wine. Eunwoo and I were giddy from all the alcohol we shared earlier. We're laughing as we walk under the streetlights, as we exchange funny and embarrassing drunken stories from our younger, party days.

The night air was cool against my flushed cheeks, and I was stumbling a little as we walked, but Eunwoo didn't seem to mind. We're in our own world as if nothing could spoil our fun.

We're just a few blocks away from our hotel when suddenly, I see a flicker in the corner of my eye. I slowly register it as a flash. A clarity hits me and I realize that there is a group of people who have been following us. With cameras.

"There's paparazzi following us," I grab Eunwoo's arm to get his attention, and say in a rushed voice.

His eyes shoot up in the same direction I am looking at, and immediately sees the group of paparazzi who were slowly advancing towards us.

Eunwoo grabs my hand at once, "Run!" he says, and pulls me along as he breaks into a run.

Hand in hand, we run away from the paparazzi. My heart pounding as we dash around street corners. The world around us blurred in a fuzzy haze of colors and sounds.

We eventually duck into a dark and empty alleyway behind the hotel and we stop to catch our breath. I lean my back against the wall for support, and Eunwoo props himself up against it with one hand. His body just only a few inches away from me. 

When he finally catches his breath, he lifts his eyes to meet mine and starts to chuckle, amused by what just happened. I join him, we're both still high from the adrenaline. Before I can even register it, I feel his lips pressed against mine and we're kissing.

The world around me fades into the background, and all that mattered was the feeling of his lips and the way his fingers were wound in my hair. I wrap my arms around the back of his neck, deepening the kiss.

We kiss fiercely, almost wild. I lose myself in the passion, it was like as if we were fighting to escape from reality for just a little while.

In that moment, I felt free. We were free.
