epilogue (pt. 2)

The girl chuckled taking in every detail of the boy's face. They've been separated for too long and having him in her arms again made her feel a thousand times better.

He was lying on the bed with her head on his chest as she listens to how peaceful his heartbeat.

She had found them on the park last night and the young boy's friend advised her to stay with him for the night.

The girl smiled, looking at him, "I can't believe I'm right here with you,"

The boy probably heard the girl as he tried to move but only caught her in his arms. He slowly opened his eyes, meeting her orbs.

But instead of hugging or kissing her, he pushed her out of the bed, "Dong Yanlei - I swear if you dressed up as Shuzhen again -!"

Shuzhen stumbled on the ground, her butt hitting the cold floor, "Oi! Qin Zimo! Is this how you want to treat me?"

"Wait," Zimo rubbed his eyes and eyed the now standing Shuzhen, "It - It's really you? No - no, I must be dreaming."

"We met at the park last night, you idiot!"

Zimo tilted his head, still on the bed, "I don't remember." He stretched out his arms and pulled the blankets over, "I still want to sleep,"

Shuzhen scoffed and pulled the covers down, "Are you serious?! I came back for you and you still want to sleep?"

The boy ignored her as he close his eyes, pretending to be asleep.

"Fine, if you don't want to be with me, I'll go find Jing Peiyao and ask him to be my boy -"

Shuzhen didn't finish her sentence as her back was pushed towards the wall by none other than Zimo. Both his hands, resting on either side of her head.

"You know what?" Zimo leaned in, his breath so close. "I'd rather stand here with you for the rest of my life."

"I hate standing," Shuzhen replied, looming directly at his eyes.

"And I hate waiting, but I've waited a year," Zimo said, his eyes slowly moving down towards her lips, asking for approval, "And I think I've waited long enough."

Shuzhen didn't have to think twice as she wrapped her hands around Zimo's neck, pulling him down to meet his lips. Zimo deepened the kiss, his tongue sliding inside her mouth.

It was their fourth kiss but it was also the kiss that felt real and genuine. Shuzhen loved this feeling. Because she knew she chose the right person and kissing Qin Zimo felt like home.

Their kiss got cut off when someone slowly opened the door, "Ge, what do you want for - oh my god!"

Zuo Ye covered his eyes as he saw the scene in front of him, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll go now,"

He closed the door and quickly ran through the hallway screaming, "THEY'RE FINALLY TOGETHER!!!!!"

Zimo sighed, "I should've locked the door first,"

Shuzhen hummed, reaching out for Zimo's body. She buried her face in the crook of his neck, his hands wrapped around her small figure.

"I miss you, Zim," Shuzhen whispered, a single tear falling from her eyes.

Zimo kissed her forehead and hugged her tighter, "I miss you, too. So much."

"My eyes have been infected," Zuo Ye exclaims as he sees Zimo and Shuzhen flirting in front of him.

The crew were eating their breakfast at Mingzhu's house since they all decided to sleep there after the party.
