Sun made it to their meeting place without taking notice of the person walking several feet behind her, always turning on the same streets, watching her from a distance. Yixing's eyes narrowed as he squinted to see someone off in the distance that seemed to stop and hide behind the trunk of a tree. His eyes widened in surprise as he said to her, "Jagi, you were being followed."

She gasped and looked behind to see there was no one.

"Behind those trees." He gestured along a row of trees that led to a walking trail in the park next to the river. "Wait here. I'm gonna go check it out." He took a few steps in the direction which she came from. As he passed her, he pressed his cold lips to her cheek. It was a chilly night and he had been waiting about fifteen minutes for her. Sun turned in the direction that he was walking and watched with worry as he slowly walked down the line of trees, looking for the person who was spying on them.

He did that about three times and turned up with nothing. There was no one there. He returned to her side and heaved a sigh. "I swear I saw someone, jagi."

She cupped his face in her hands and said to him sweetly. "Its like two in the morning. Maybe you're tired, baobei."

His expression relaxed into a smile. "Maybe."

"Get plenty of sleep on the airplane later." She recommended, looking up into his dark brown eyes. Yixing wasn't very tall--one of the shortest in EXO--but he was still a good few inches taller than Sun, which made him feel more tall than he really was.

He kissed her softly on the lips as he assured, "I'll try."

"I feel like I haven't seen you in ages." She told him, something she seemed to tell him quite often.

"That's because you really haven't seen me in ages." He pointed out, his words rather guarded even though she knew the point he was trying to make. He paused for a brief moment before he found himself blurting out his nest words, "I don't want to get into an argument, jagi. Especially tonight that I'm leaving Korea for two weeks. But have you thought about making our relationship public yet?"

Sun's expression dropped and she looked away from him, even pulling a few steps back. "Yixing...lets not have that talk today." He felt so strongly about their topic--about their love--that they always ended up in an argument afterwards. He didn't understand that she wanted to save them the repercussions of disobeying the rules put into place by their agencies. He wanted the two of them to be happy. She wanted the two of them to be that and successful in their careers. At that point it seemed like it would be one or the other. If she wanted to be with Yixing, she needed to be brave and give up everything else.

"Then when?" He eyed her, genuinely wondering when it would be okay for them to talk about being together in public. When they would announce it to everyone, including their respective agencies.

She bit down on her lip nervously, but said nothing in response.

"Am I wrong to want to kiss you in public? To want to hold your hand? To want to hold you in my arms? Even complimenting you in public isn't allowed. We have to be always fighting against each other." He asked her several questions, his eyes searching for he gaze, while she was trying so hard to avoid his. She had explained it to him countless times, and she knew he was right to press her about it. But each time they talked about it, she could almost physically feel their relationship breaking, chipping at the edges. "Tell me why I have to settle for being with you secretly. I'm slowly growing tired of this, Mae." He admitted.

"Soon Yixing." She assured for about the hundreth time.

"How soon is soon? I need a real answer, a time frame, a date. Something." He pressed. "We're about to have our first year anniversary in a few months, and we won't get to celebrate it properly because no one even knows about us."
