In My Dreams [Infinite Fanfic]

Part 7

Melody_POV

I was shocked. I couldn't believe he was here. "I thought you were in California?"

"I'm here for work" he chuckled. "Since I was in the area, I thought I'd come to the old neighborhood and see what's changed. Never thought I'd run into you here" he smiled. "How have you been?"

"Good" I lied. "You?"

"Busy" he smiled "But good." He looked around and asked "Where's Brittany? You two were inseparable when I last saw you guys."

I smiled halfheartedly "We're not talking to each other right now."

"What happened?" he was shocked.

"I'd rather not talk about it" I quickly looked away before I started crying again. Suddenly I felt his arms around me. "What are you doing?" I tried to push him away.

"Relax!" he chuckled. "I was only giving you a hug because you looked like you were going to cry."

"Ohh" I blushed. I should have known better. Charles was always nice like this. "Thanks" I smiled a little.

Sungjong_POV

"Hey Sungjong!" Hoya called out to me. "You okay?"

"I'm fine" I smiled. "Why?"

"You've been spacing out all day. Are you sick?"

"No, I'm not sick" I replied. "Just got something on my mind."

"You know that we are all here for you if you want to talk, right?"

I smiled "Thanks, but I'm good."

"Okay" he reluctantly let it go.

 "I can't wait for KCON!" Sungyeol sighed excitedly. 

"We are going to have so much fun in New York!" Dongwoo screamed.

"New York" I sighed to myself as my mind wandered back to her. I wonder if she lives near there.

Melody_POV

It had been a long day and it was nice seeing Charles again. After everything that has happened with Brittany these past few years, it was nice to have a true friend by my side.

After talking with Charles for a while, I returned home and collapsed on my bed. All the anxiety I had earlier had disappeared and I was finally able to relax and fall asleep.

I was afraid that I would find myself alone when I opened my eyes, but was surprised to see Sungjong waiting for me. I ran over to him and hugged him tightly. He wrapped his arms around me and held me gently. We stood like that for a long time. Neither wanting to let go for fear that we would be separated again. 

"Melody?" he spoke quietly in my ear.

"Yes, Sungjong" I replied while continuing to hold him.

He pulled away just enough to look me in the eyes and in a pleading tone asked "Will you please tell me where you live?"

"Sungjong" I sighed.

"I know what you are going to say...."

"Then why do you keep asking?" I asked a little annoyed. I closed my eyes and took a deep calming breath before saying "I just don't want to loose you."

His eyes widened for a brief moment before he smiled and said "You won't loose me."

"How can you be so sure? What if this really is only a dream? What if it's real, but you forget when you wake up?" I was so nervous. "I don't want to loose what little hope I have."

Sungjong pulled me close to him once more and held me lovingly. "We'll never know what is going to happen unless we try." Then he took a step back and said "I love you Melody. I want to be with you. Please tell me where you are so I can find you."

My heart practically stopped. No one had ever confessed to me like this before. I didn't know what to say. "What if you forget?"

"That is why I brought this" he smiled as he showed me the pen and paper in his hand.

I couldn't help but chuckle a little. "Okay" I finally said with a smile. If he had gone so far as to have a piece of paper and a pen, I guess I could allow myself to believe a little bit.

Sungjong_POV

"Really?" I was surprised that she gave in. I was sure that I was going to have to beg her for days before she would tell me. I handed her the paper and pen and then watched as she wrote down what I had been dying to know since the first time we met.

"Here" she said as she handed it back to me.

I looked down at the paper and smiled. "Thank you Melody!" I shouted and then kissed her deeply. As I pulled away from her I said "I love you so much."

"I love you too" she smiled as a tear fell from her eye.

"Sungjong!" Sunggyu screamed at me and I instantly woke up.

"Hyung!" I moaned in pain as I had fallen out of bed. "Why did you have to scream so loud?"

"Finally" he sighed in relief.

I looked up at him confused. "What's wrong? What's going on?"

"We couldn't wake you up" Woohyun said.

"Yeah" Myungsoo chimed in. "We've been trying to wake you for hours and you wouldn't budge."

"We thought that you were really sick" an obviously worried Sungyeol said.

"Are you okay?" Hoya asked.

Suddenly remembering my dream, I quickly looked at the paper in my hand and smiled. "I'm better than okay...... I'm perfect!" I couldn't stop smiling and laughing like a madman to myself.
