She struggled in the other person's hold, her small hands clawing at the arm around her waist, trying to get herself free. It had only been seconds--a minute at most--but it felt like an eternity to her, trapped and terrified. She continued in her attempts to scream until she felt a pair of warm lips on the side of her neck. Wait a minute, she thought to herself. I know those lips.
Before she could say anything, heart still racing madly from her initial shock, the person behind her said into the exposed skin of her neck, "What are you doing out here, all by yourself, huh?" His voice was an attempt at sounding raspy and menacing, but it came out sounding as more amused than anything else. It was a voice she recognized from countless television interviews she saw, and several radio interviews she listened to. A voice that slammed her and her band constantly in the public eye, and a voice she only heard telling her sweet things when they were alone.
He loosened his arm from around her waist, but kept it in its place, just barely giving her enough time to turn around to face him. The hand that had gone to cover her mouth fell to his side.
A smile appeared on her lips once her moment of fear dissipated, though it was replaced in an instant by a look that was laced with annoyance at him. Balling her small hand into a fist, she hit him in the chest. Hard.
He winced, rubbing the sore spot with his hand. But even so, a chuckle escaped from his lips.
"Why'd you do that, jagiya?" He asked her with a groan and a grin evident on his face.
"Me?" She gasped, appalled at his words. "You were the one who nearly gave me a heart attack. Why'd you do that?" She asked him, poking him in the chest with her index finger each time a word left her mouth.
"It was just a joke." He replied to her, grabbing her wrist to keep her from poking him any further.
Sun jutted out her bottom lip into a pout. "Its three in the morning, those kinds of jokes aren't funny right now, Yixing. I really thought I was going to get kidnapped, killed, and stuffed into a sewer canal or something." She pulled her wrist from his grip and got a hold of his hand, bringing it to her chest, "My heart's still beating hard like a drum, feel it." She said to him, letting out a slightly shaky breath from her lips.
"So pessimistic." He commented before pulling her into his embrace, his arms finding their way around her waist. As he placed his chin atop her head, he added with a sigh, "I guess you're right. I'm sorry."
"Of course I'm right." She argued, wrapping her slender arms around him. It was nice--she thought--having him for warmth if only for a couple of minutes whenever their schedules weren't too crazy. But she knew that with him being an SM idol, they would never be able to be together in public. The media, their agencies, and even their own groups would tear them apart. There was too much deeply rooted hatred between SM Entertainment and Pledis.
