"Bubble tea, really?"

"It's my getaway." He announced, walking into the cute store filled with rainbow colors that matched his hair so well.

He rushed over to the chocolate section and I snickered, "Nice to know with at your favorite flavor hasn't changed."

"Nice to know yours hasn't changed either." He said as he saw me next to the taro one as well.

After ordering Sehun had walked out, mind only on his chocolate bubble tea. I rolled my eyes but I was more than happy to pay.

I walked out after him and he acted like a child who hadn't gone outside in over a week.

"You abandoned me." I complained as I caught up to him.

"I'll pay next time promise." He was interested in the stores that we passed.

"Annyeonghaseyo, my appa needs help selling these brackets for my omma... She's sick. But she said that it's better to buy it for the person you love."

Sehun looked at them closely, the little girl showing the two in her hands including a black one and a white one.

"I'll buy two." I said handing the girl the money and I took the brackets from her.

"Luhan." He began but I placed the white one around his wrist before he could say anything.

"Just trust me." I mumbled, focusing on putting mine on as well. I saw Sehun examine the bracelet a small smirk growing on his face.

We had walked around for hours never getting bored, every moment filled with laughter that I missed so much.

"Luhan... I'm getting sleepy." Sehun has leaned against my shoulder. I checked the time seeing that it was midnight.

He was literally half asleep on my shoulder as we stopped mid step into another store. It was stary tonight, the streets were a blur of people and you couldn't feel anything other than relief.

Sehun was right next to you, like you've wanted for so long. His eyes were closed, mask being pushed up to cover his face again by an even lazier hand.

I grabbed him before he could lean anymore against me, scooping him up in my arms. He was light, like I had expected. He didn't ask any questions, just curls into stronger arms like he'd dreamt about this millions of times before, and this was just another run around.

It felt as if he could fall asleep in me, I wanted to keep him there so badly..

He clung tighter suddenly. "I won't drop you sehun." I stated, beginning to walk again. "I know, I-I just want to hold you for a second." He nuzzled his face deeper into the cotton of my pull-over and I wanted to stop...but I kept walking.

He was almost asleep, now, and I selfishly wanted to walk past the worn down hotel, but I knew that I couldn't fall in love with the moment...The time was running out, every step, every second passed before I could grasp it and I almost dropped him as I felt my throat clog with lack of oxygen.

I climbed up the stairs, only two flights, and searched for my room number. 89..90..91..92..93...Here. "Set me down hyung." Sehun's tired voice had rang through the quiet hall and he was awake.

I did as he told me and he stood up straight but his head was down, hair a tangled mess, and he peeled his face mask off, revealing his wet cheeks. Had he been crying this entire time.

"Sehun..." "No..No.. I'm okay.." Sehun had pushed my hand that had reached out towards his cheeks gently. He looked up, his eyes, glew silver and brown and he looked like nylon.

His fingers wrapped their way around my hair, tangling in my light locks and he smiled, which only made the water in his eyes seep from the corners and he looked utterly content.

There was silence, and he looked at me, he looked at me, ...He looked at...me.

"...Don't leave me..."

My heart had stopped beating for a second, and the hallway became long, and stretched behind him.

"I've been waiting for you... for too long." And there it was, a river that was small enough to fit across the apples of his cheeks, in swirls but they grew mini constellations in his eyes.

And he laughed, the smallest, most delicate laugh and I was utterly still under his long gaze. "...But If you do go..."

He bit his lips, his eyes never setting me free,"...Just...Just let me hold you..." Sehun had almost choked out.

I couldn't watch him anymore. I couldn't fight this. I pulled him in close and hoped that the force in me didn't make his lips bleed but I kept him there.

HIs lips were softer than I expected and I wanted to cling onto his shaking figure, until my hands would steady him.

He shivered against me, sighed against my lips as if I was oxygen and he couldn't breath. "Luhan." He whispered, his eyes finally closing and his arms wrapped their way around my back and he melted into me.

The kiss wasn't awkward, nor too long, or thought out. Everything seemed to all fit and Sehun was the final puzzle piece that I needed.

This wasn't all for nothing, there was suddenly purpose, and now right here all I cared about was Sehun, clutching onto me for dear life, kissing me like he didn't want anything else but this, and I wouldn't blame it if he really did.

"It's okay...hyung found you." I pulled away, but to only press our foreheads together and hear him breathing into the thin cold air around us.

There was silence for a second and you had almost dozed off hearing Sehun's breath surrounding you.

"Don't find someone else." Sehun had suddenly clung onto me tighter, and I felt a ping in the middle of my chest, tugging me closer to him.

Sehun had waited for me, for so long and now all of the sudden, plot twist, there he was, in my arms, once again .  .   .
