Lost and Found

58: Say Yes: Part 3

It was already the weekend and at that point, it was an amazing feat that not a single smidgen of news about the legends' proposals circulated in the Central Office or to the public. It seemed like the departments involved in some of the proposals were extremely tight-lipped about the whole thing. An even huge miracle since Ada, the in-house gossip queen, hadn't sniffed out the hot tea just boiling under everyone's noses.

It was a pleasant Saturday afternoon. Luhan was just lounging in their house's nook alone, reading out the current progress of the expansion of the alternative learning system and the first curriculum draft for the inclusion of Exology and Arcanus Alliance in the education system. His peace was only broken when his phone notified him of a message.

"Lu, can you meet me in Cream Soda? It's an emergency," the message read.

Everything else faded to insignificance the moment Luhan read the word "emergency". Call Luhan paranoid, but ever since he recovered his memories about the war, he became extremely worried that he would somehow lose Sehun just like how Sehun lost him in The Eve. With adrenaline pumping, Luhan changed for more decent clothes and rushed to Cream Soda.

Thankfully, Cream Soda offered free parking space for customers, especially VIPs. So, when Luhan rolled in with his Mercedes-Maybach S600, he was granted the VIP parking space. Once parked, Luhan ran into Cream Soda, not particularly caring about causing a bit of disturbance. He searched both floors of the café, but he did not find his legend of wind.

"Your Excellence, are you perhaps looking for His Excellence, Oh Sehun-nim?" the café staff asked the disheveled legend.

"Yes, is he here?" Luhan was panting.

"He is not here yet. But he did call us in advance that you will be coming so we have prepared a table for you," the staff mentioned. "Please, follow me."

Luhan was given a semi-private booth near the back of the store to settle in. It was for the better as Luhan looked out of sorts.

"His Excellence Oh Sehun did mention to us that he will be here in a few minutes," the staff informed Luhan as soon as took his seat. "For the meantime, anything you would like to order?"

Luhan skimmed the menu, "Two clubhouse sandwiches and two bubble teas."

Food was served to Luhan in a matter of minutes. Luhan waited and waited but Sehun did not arrive. However, when he finished both sandwiches and bubble teas, he lost patience.

Luhan marched to the frontline staff's station, "Has he not arrived yet?"

"Unfortunately, Your Excellence, no sign of His Excellence yet," the staff actually lied. The whole café staff was part of Sehun's plan.

"But he said it was an emergency. I am getting extremely worried," Luhan tapped his fingers nervously.

But his attention was piqued when the customers simultaneously gasped behind him. He turned around, only to see Sehun coming in while holding a garland made of golden chain flowers.

Luhan lunged at Sehun for an embrace, "What took you so long!"

"It was my intention all along," Sehun said.

Baffled, Luhan pulled away from the embrace, "What do you mean?"

Sehun placed the garland on Luhan's neck, kissed Luhan's forehead, and held both of his hands.

"Lu, when I found you, I knew that something had changed. The world looks so much brighter with you by my side. I never felt this way before but this could be the start of something new. It feels so right to be here with you."
