chapter 13

game over –

Under the clean orange darkened sky, distance commotion can be heard as it is time for every hard working soul to go home and get their well deserved rest. Bird chirping away and a soft breeze hits Doyoung's face as he takes a slow step behind Taeil.

The safety guard had reminded them to be careful because once it gets too dark, a big lizard (Asian Water Monitor) or what the safety guard told them 'biawak' will walk out from their home to find food. Of course, it scares Doyoung since they already saw one during the day. It was big. Almost as big as a crocodile.

But they can't miss the sunset sky, right? They heard it was the best sunset in Asia. They can't miss it after coming from far away.

"Baby, don't go too far!" Doyoung reminds Taeil, which was ignored. Taeil ran freely on the wet sand, the seas were low tides so they could get a closer view of the clear orange sky. Taeil's soft laugh can be heard making Doyoung gleam in happiness.

"Doyoung –ah, hurry up! The sky here is so beautiful!" Taeil started his small run, feeling he soft breeze and sand smells without worrying about being looked at. Doyoung chuckled as he fastened his walk to follow his beautiful boyfriend.

"Wait for me!"

Taeil's beaming smile, a radiant burst of joy and warmth, graced his face under the mesmerizing canvas of clean orange sky. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a magical glow across the landscape. Taeil's smile looks ethereal. His lips curved with genuine, reflecting the calm beauty of the evening.

"Waa!" Taeil said excitedly, Doyoung raised his head for a greater view of the breath taking sky – the soft fading sunlight, a soft amber hue.

Doyoung blinked his eyes to look at his excited boyfriend. It was a crazy week for him to practice for his album showcase and prepare for his album promotion but he followed Taeil for a vacation on a small island in Sabah, Malaysia.

"I did a great job choosing this place, didn't I?" Taeil's voice just added so much heaven to the clean orange horizon.

Doyoung chuckled, his chest felt so light and content. He couldn't deny that this was the most beautiful sunset he had seen in his 30 years of life – but amid this enchanting twilight, it was Taeil's smile that stood out like a lantern of serenity. The way his skin lights up is complimented by the orange sky, Taeil is beautiful.

Doyoung couldn't resist the overwhelming urge to run toward Taeil. In the rush of euphoria, he closed the distance between them and pulled Taeil into a warm and tight embraced. With effortless strength, he swung his tiny boyfriend into his arm.

The sheer of joy of the moment making it feels as if they were floating on the air.

A soothing and comfortable melody of Taeil's laughter. Doyoung clenches his jaw, closes his eyes as he enjoys Taeil's sound which feels like a pure heaven. It's a sound of happiness that resonates deep within him. The thought of how lucky he is to have Taeil in his life.

He never felt so good about his life, he never felt this excited for the next day. He loves Taeil so much that he feels his chest tighten with regret that he wasted 30 years old of his life not being able to love Taeil.

Fear slowly warps his whole body, fear of.. uncertainty. Fear of the feeling he couldn't even control anymore.

Low groan Doyoung let out as he buried his face on Taeil's neck. He can't handle his own feelings for Taeil – the weight was so heavy but so good at the same time. It was a journey he was willing to broach upon, despite the fear, because the love he felt for Taeil was worth every moment of uncertainty.
