Massive double or triple update happening today and probably more during the week since I am SUPER PUMPED for iKON's full album release. SO EXCITED!!! XD

(Plus it's Christmas)

Media is an absolutely gorgeous picture of Hanbin (hopefully I haven't used this image before or I might look a bit obsessed ;) -.-). Also Be I - which I have listened to a lot. Yes. 

Enjoy!! XOXO

CeCe. CeCe. CeCe.

A persistent voice echoes down the tunnel, curling around me and shattering the complete silence I'd originally been listening to.

"Who's there?" I call out and am shocked at the loudness of my own voice as it joins the first one in echoing around me.

"CeCe."

This time the voice is directly in my ear and I feel a blast of warm air as their breath hits my face. With a start, I whirl around to face them and my vision dips. Piercing, white light fragmented by black splotches. I blink frantically, trying to clear my sight and see who is calling to me.

"CeCe?" Hanbin's face appears in front of me, eyebrows drawn in concern. "Hey. Can you hear me?"

I slowly lift my hands to my face and rub my eyes. My body aches all over but I'm no longer in the tunnel.

"Where am I?" I murmur and quickly loop an arm over Hanbin's shoulder, worried he's going to suddenly disappear.

"The ice-cream shop", he says quietly, eyes seemingly watching my every move. "Remember?"

I do remember. I finally pull my eyes away from him and look around myself at the brightly lit shop, plastic furniture and shocked cashier.

"The ambulance is on its way", she whispers.

"I don't need an ambulance", I say with surprising steeliness, "I just need three scoops in a cup. Cookies 'N Cream, Espresso 'N Cream and Shooting Stars. I skimped out on dinner and just have a low sugar level. That's all."

BothHanbin and the cashier don't look fooled.

~~~~~~~

"Please", I add pathetically.

Hanbin sighs, "Fine. But only if you can get up by yourself."

Only now do I realise the angle I'm observing everything from. Am I lying on the floor?

"Fine", I slowly brace my hands against the cold tiles beneath me and gently sit up. I don't feel faint in the slightest, I never did, just disorientated.

Hanbin gets to his feet and moves towards the till to pay, I continue to cautiously stand up again, smoothing my dress down and running my fingers quickly through my messy hair. I'm never going to just have a muffin for dinner ever again, it's full course meals for me from now on. I can't think of anything else which could result in me collapsing. I've never fainted before tonight.

"CeCe", Hanbin cups one of my elbows in a warm hand, "Come sit over here." He steers me to a long bench running the length of the front window and slips into one of the tall chairs. I slip into the one beside him and lace my fingers together before resting my chin on them and looking out onto the dark street outside. Thoughts of the tunnel, Hanbin and my sudden collapse tumbling around in my head.

"The ambulance has been turned around. Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah", I say and look at him out of the corner of my eye, "I don't know what it was. I was just... I don't know."

"You really scared me", he surprises me by tilting his head and resting it on my shoulder. It is such a cute and vulnerable gesture for a guy like himself.

"I'm sorry", I reply and rest my head on top of his, "It was weird. I was in this tunnel."

"A tunnel?"

"Yeah. Walking or something but there was nothing in front of me", I rub my eyes again. "I dunno."

"Your ice-cream", the cashier appears beside us and we both spring apart in reflex.

~~~~~~~

I accept the huge tub with three mountainous scoops, extremely aware of the single scoop cone Hanbin receives.

"You're going to have some of mine too, I think", I say slyly and place the first spoonful in my mouth.

It's freezing and delicious. Perfect.

"I think not", Hanbin says coolly, "You need all the sugar you can get if you want to get home safely."

I snort and glide a spoonful of Shooting Stars passed his face teasingly, "You're sure it's got nothing to do with some sort of crazy comeback diet?"

"It doesn't!" he gasps indignantly and pushes my hand away.

"Aww", I stick out my bottom lip and blink my huge eyes at him, "Pwease twy it."

Hanbin blinks at me for a moment, dark eyes startled, before he rakes a hand back through his gorgeous hair and shakes his head.

"You really have recovered fast, haven't you?"

I shrug, maintaining my aegyo-ish pleading expression as the spoonful of ice-cream creeps back towards his face.

"Fine", he leans in and accepts it quickly, nose scrunching as he swallows. "Still undecided about your taste in artists but your taste in ice-cream sucks. What is that even?"

"Shooting Stars", I say mildly and spoon more in my mouth, "I guess it's only for the real deal."

"Real deal?"

"Yeah. It was a famous person joke", I snort, "Don't worry."

Wesit in silence, side by side, watching the streetlight across the road flicker.
