Hold Me Tight (ON-GOING & EDITING)

SUZY

"Kai-ssi, please do not eat the cupcakes, the party hasn't even started yet, and half of the cupcakes are gone." Emeri said through gritted teeth. She's probably getting stressed over this simple surprise we're going to do for Chanyeol. Emeri insisted, so we're here to help her set up a small birthday surprise for his soon-to-be-husband.

"Noona, no need to call me Kai-ssi, just simply call me Kai. Is that a hard thing for you to do?" Emeri glared at him, Jongin walking away with a half-eaten cupcake with him. I tapped Emeri's back, making her jump.

"Don't tap my back like that, Suzy! It scares the shit out of me." She said, massaging her temple.

"Yah, don't stress yourself out. This is why we are here, we're here to help you." I said with a smile and she released a sigh.

"It's Chanyeol's birthday and this surprise event is really, really special for the both of us. I just don't want it to get ruined."  She stated, glaring at Kai who was in the middle of eating another cupcake. He left while muttering something, bring his cupcake with him.

As expected, from the perfectionist kind of woman.

"I knooow. But stress is bad for you nowadays. You need to loosen up and chill,"  I said. I glared at Jongin once again as he was about to get another cupcake.

"If you like those cupcakes that much, I can bake some for you! Just don't eat them anymore!" Jongin's eyes sparkled and nodded, jumping up and down in excitement. I was the one who baked those cupcakes and I was glad I successfully did it without burning the my house's kitchen.

Emeri turned to me again, but this time, with a worried look on her face. "Uhm, Suzy?" I hummed in reply, gesturing her to continue.

"Have you talked to Sehun? I mean—he stayed out all night and he's not present tonight as well," My heart got heavy and smiled weakly at her.

"Nah, not yet." I quietly said, biting my bottom lip. I heard her sigh as she patted my back in comfort.

"Why don't you just call him? I'm sure he can't resist to answer your calls," Emeri reasoned out and was clearly trying to cheer me up. I look up at her from the cupcakes I was currently organizing.

"Well, I think he learned how to.." I trailed off and shook my head as I went back to putting and organizing the small cakes, Junmyeon had bought for Chanyeol's birthday.

After I finished my work inside, I walked out of the building to get some fresh air after all the pressure coming from the inside. I pulled my coat closer when I was greeted by the cold air. It's getting cold but I was fine.

I pulled out my phone and sat on the bench in front of the restaurant. I looked at the screen, hoping for Sehun's missed calls atleast. But my shoulders dropped immediately when I received nothing. Nothing but spam messages.

I shut my phone off and sighed, releasing white air coming from my mouth. Why isn't he calling or texting? I should be the one who's getting angry at the way he acted yesterday and now he is completely acting the other way around.

"Isn't it cold out here?" I jumped startled as I heard a voice behind me. I looked back and couldn't stop myself from breathing heavily the moment I saw him.

He stopped his tracks and sat beside me.

"W-what are you doing here?" I stuttered—mentally face palming myself afterwards.
