Because making assumptions can only one's downfall...

===

The day was going smoothly until you saw a familiar back with an unfamiliar figure. They seemed intimate, like they knew each other all too well. Like they were actually together.

A feeling in your gut said to investigate further, so you hid behind a wall and tuned in to their conversation.

"I had a wonderful time today," a sweet, innocent voice said. The high pitch instantly told you it was a girl.

"Me too," the other voice said. It wasn't as high pitched as the first, but it told you enough information for you to make a hypothesis : Tao was seeing someone else.

Through your teary-vision, you see him bend down to wrap his arms around her small figure while she tip toes to put her arms around his neck. They practically fit together like puzzle pieces. There was some sort of vibe that screamed their relationship had some flaw, but the again, what was the definition of a perfect couple?

You walk away, tears starting to overflow your eyes and roll down your cheeks. You were only a block away from your home, so you walked as fast as you could without tripping [jk you know how difficult this is :P]

The moment you walked through the front door, you dragged your feet to the couch ; the closest comfortable surface to just bawl your eyes out with the idea that you might just end a relationship so dear to you. A relationship you worked hard to build up and maintain for so long. To stop seeing someone you spent so much time, energy and love on :(

Moments later, you hear the doorknob click. There was only one other person who could access the door. The person who you were busy thinking about and how unworthy you were for him.

He called your name with such a dear, almost sickeningly sweet voice. Naturally, that turns into concern with the sight of you sobbing on the couch so visible. He walks to you, then puts an arm around you, asking what was wrong.

You push his arm off and face your back to him, your hands covering your tear-stained face. He was baffled, since that has never happened before D:

He tries to put his arms around you again, in which you get up from the couch this time. He had no clue in what to do in such a situation, so he thought the best thing to do was to leave you be, resulting in him heading to your shared bedrooms. Tears were starting to form in his eyes before you questioned, "do you still love me?"

He stopped dead in his tracks. He nodded frantically, the word 'yes' coming from his mouth numerous times, followed by a confused, "why would I ever stop loving you so suddenly?"

Well, there was no point in holding in concerns, so you tell him about your sightings of him and the girl and the thought that you weren't worthy of being called his and the thought that you two were going to break up after every instance you two went through together.

He sat with you as you rambled about your thoughts, tears making their way down his cheeks at the mentioning of 'break up'. Not that there was any reason he would break up with a miracle like you, but why a miracle like you would ever think about him wanting to break up with him?

He took your hands in his and looked into your eyes with reassurance. And maybe a few tears, but that's not the point at the moment...

Doing his best not to shed anymore tears, he said your name softly, followed by, "you came into my life for a reason, and I'm very glad you did. The fact that you thought I would leave you did alarm me, which now makes me think that I'm not doing my best for you at the moment."

Your heart wrenches at his words. He had always been doing his best to maintain your happiness, to make sure you were safe and alright. He was like your guardian angel, while he thought you were his.

"But that doesn't mean I will leave you. It only means I'll have to do better to make sure you never think I'll leave you ever again."

He then wraps his arms around your figure, his chin rests on your shoulder while he whispers, "I'm sorry I scared you like that, I love you."

In return, you put your arms around his waist. Like he always did, he knew the right words to say. He knew how to put words together to make a sentence that would let flowers grow and heartbreak a foreign language. But you still had one thing you wanted to clear up.

"Tao, who was the girl you were with?"

He expected you to ask that sooner or later. Luckily, he had his answer ready. "Don't worry (y/n), that was my cousin. I should introduce you to her one day :)"

[~I  apologize if this is rather inaccurate D: I never actually followed EXO in the past so I'm not very familiar with them :/ Anyways, just remember that requests are open! If you wish to request a one-shot, do message me on wattpad :) Have a wonderful day/evening! Till the next time I write~]
