XVIII / With Every Passing Day

-Day 50; Wednesday, July 19th, 2017-

Everyone has habits. They pick them up and drop them as they grow older, and some they never outgrow.

When Kim Junmyeon was younger, he counted things. Tiles on the floor and steps from the car to inside the grocery store and how many seconds it took to tie his shoes.

Like most habits, he grew out of it, but it never truly left him. Nothing ever truly leaves you, and even at twenty-six years old Junmyeon still found himself counting the odd thing, just out of habit.

Now that he was older, he counted things like spare change or how many documents he had or many seconds it took for him to walk from the apartment to the bus stop.

He made a point to count important things, so he wouldn't forget them.

One thing he should've been counting was how many days until Kris Wu left.

Alas, he never knew about the fast approaching date that would shatter his world and send him into a state of borderline dissociation, because no matter how much Kris annoyed him he still loved him and never thought of a world where he returned home to an empty apartment, any and all traces of Kris quickly wiped away.

He always assumed that at the end of the day, he would return home to a large, warm hug from a bubbly, excited Kris, a kiss on the lips and another sneaky one on the cheek, maybe a sly ass grab or neck kiss. He always assumed that he would fall asleep, safe, sidled up against Kris, the lingering scent of his musky cologne that always stuck to him enveloping him and slowly sending him to sleep. No matter how or where Kris showed his affection, Junmyeon loved it, even if he didn't show it.

With Kris, everything was better. Junmyeon was happier, the days were longer, nights included sleep.

Nightmares no longer struck Junmyeon at every corner, and Junmyeon had done and learnt things and went places he never would have without Kris.

Essentially, Junmyeon owed almost everything to Kris. Kris was his safe place.

Kris made him feel alive.

The days he had spent with Kris slipped by through their fingers.

Junmyeon wasn't sure how many days he had spent with Kris.

He wasn't counting.

He also wasn't counting the creepily cheerful emails, considering the situations they were under, sent to inboxes of his friends.
