Because It's Love | EXO CHEN

4. The Threat

The time I spent with him soon came to an end because he had to leave for something else. He left right after receiving a call from Johnny, I heard.

I didn't even realize that time flew by this quickly. We spent a lovely 6 hours together, sadly including my nap time- I counted meticulously. Our last two hours of talk time were a whole lot of random stuff, not any topics too sensitive, but just generic ones enough to keep me smiling and laughing most of the time.

I truly enjoyed his company. We clicked so well and it almost felt like we were best friends.

Oh, how I wish.

The entertaining and comfortable state that I am in when I'm with Jas, is almost the same as when I am with him. The distinguishable difference would be like the metaphor of a 'cherry on top' - above all the reasons that made time with him so pleasant, the heart-racing factor was what makes me lose my mind. Every time.

Seriously, I doubt myself every now and then. I think I might be sick. My heart seems abnormal. I mean, how can a heart always beat this fast and prolonged over that two hours of our time?!

I'm pretty sure that during that time, my heart wasn't beating normal. Not even for a second. Hmm.

As expected, he's really nice, like an angel sent from heaven.

The last conversation we had was when he said:

"I'd love to stay longer. But some things got caught up and I have to be away for awhile..."

"Don't mind me at all. You've stayed longer than I've ever imagined, I'm already very grateful. You should go now."

"Till we meet again, Min-min." And with that, he bid a quick goodbye.

"Yea, I hope so." I murmured softly.

He put up a shy smile one last time before disappearing out the door.

I guess the dream has come to an end. I should wake up now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"HEY!! Wake up!!!" Jasmine nudged me awake.

"Jas..." I mumbled and slowly opened my eyes.

"Tell me about it."

"What?" I shot her a quizzical look.

"Tell me all about it GIRL! From beginning to end!" She fidgeted with excitement.

"Tell you what?" I asked the second time. She's making me really lost. Unless she meant it because it wasn't a dream...?

"It's... not a dream?" I frowned.

"NO, it is certainly not a dream! I saw him with you just now! And OH my goodness, you guys acted SO close and lovey-dovey, you didn't even realize I was there. "

"Oh my god it's not a dream?!" I beamed a little. A smile was creeping upp my face.

It was real all along?

"Oh my god JAS! This has got to be the BEST day of my life!!!" I squealed in elation, flapping crazily against the sheets to express my inner fangirling ecstasy.

"Ok calm down, calm down! Now I want details! Tell me everything and don't miss out a single thing!" She plunged down to take a seat at my bedside.

I recalled the sweet memories of our first official encounter, and couldn't help to pull on a gleeful smile.

"So...this is how it goes..." I began.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Storytelling ended with him rushing off elsewhere, so it was a shame that our farewell was a dry, quick and unsatisfying way of parting.
