X's room was dimly lit by the soft glow of a single lamp on the floor, casting long shadows across the walls. The air was thick with emotion as Yuno and X sat cross-legged on the floor, their teary eyes reflecting the gravity of the moment.

Yuno, his voice choked with emotion, finally broke the silence. "X, there's something I did."

X, his eyes already red from crying, looked up at Yuno with a mixture of confusion and surprise. "What did you do?"

Yuno took a deep breath, steadying his trembling hands. "I hacked and decrypted the USB. But... I edited the file."

X's eyes widened, his heartbeat quickening. "Edited it? What do you mean?"

Yuno's gaze was unwavering, filled with both remorse and determination. "I changed the location in the riddle—the location of the hacking tools. It was supposed to be Eden Park, but I changed it to Mirror Park."

For a moment, the words hung in the air, and X's mind raced. "So, the tools are actually in the woods near Eden Park?"

Yuno nodded, tears streaming down his face. "Yes, I'm sorry for everything X, but saving you was the priority for me. I had to hack for them but I also managed to get us a head start again."

X's face transformed from shock to pure elation. Without thinking, he lunged forward and enveloped Yuno in a tight hug. "You did it, Yuno! You actually did it!" His voice was filled with gratitude and relief.

Yuno's heart pounded as he felt X's warmth and affection. They clung to each other, the emotional weight of the moment creating a tangible connection between them. After a few seconds, X pulled back slightly, his eyes shining with unshed tears.

"I've been so worried," X said softly, his fingers gently tracing Yuno's face. "I don't know how to thank you enough."

Yuno, his face flushed with a mix of relief and affection, managed a shaky smile. "Just seeing you happy is enough for me."

The moment of connection was electric, and without breaking eye contact, X slowly stood up. "I need to go to Eden Park. It's time to find those tools."

Yuno scrambled to his feet, determination in his eyes. "I'm coming with you."

X hesitated, then nodded. "Alright. Let's go."

The two of them moved quietly to the back door, slipping out into the cool night air. X's car was parked in the driveway, its sleek, dark frame gleaming under the moonlight. They slid into the vehicle, the atmosphere inside charged with anticipation.

As X drove through the winding roads towards Eden Park, the silence between them was comfortable, punctuated only by the hum of the engine. Yuno kept glancing at X, his concern palpable.

When they reached a remote area near Eden Park, X parked the car and turned to Yuno. "Stay here in the car. I don't want you to get hurt if there's any danger."

Yuno's eyes widened with protest. "No, X, I want to come with you. What if something happens?"

X's gaze softened, but his voice was firm. "I need you to stay safe, Yuno. I can handle this."

Yuno's concern for X was evident in his eyes, and he hesitated. "But—"

Before Yuno could protest further, X reached out and cupped Yuno's face in his hands. His touch was gentle, yet there was an intense urgency in his eyes. Without a word, X leaned in and kissed Yuno.

The kiss was heated and desperate, a mixture of passion and relief. X's lips moved against Yuno's with a fervor that spoke of all the unspoken words and emotions that had built up between them. Yuno responded with equal intensity, their breaths mingling as they explored each other's mouths. The world outside seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them in their own private, passionate universe.
