Chap. 5

That night, you're flipping through the DVDs, wondering what genre you wanted to drown yourself into.

As you still flipping all kinds of DVDs you had bought, you felt chill.

"Did I shut those windows?" You ask yourself.

You decided to check it. Standing up, you make your way to the windows.

Strange. All of them already sealed shut. You shrugged and sat back again, trying to find the perfect movie.

Once you found it, your memories with him flashed in your mind.

"Leafy! Stop messing with the popcorns! The movie haven't even started yet!" You growled.

He just grinned innocently, continue to throw the popcorns into his mouth.

"Relax baby girl, you're not born yesterday you know" he stated.

You angled your head a bit, your brows furrowed together.

Minho's face changed.

"Did you forget about my powers, little one?"

Pretending to be innocent girl, putting a finger on your lips, you said,

"What power?"

Hearing that, he smirked, making you regret instantly with what you said.

"This power"

He tickled your sides, making you burst in laughter, even screaming to make him stop.

"Take that back!"

"Never!!"

Now, he's poking where you easily feel ticklish. But the problem is, YOU are ticklish person. And that to him, is an advantage.

"Honey? Are you okay? Why're you screaming? Is everything all right?"

Then, your bedroom door pushed, revealing your worry mom. You straightened your back, afraid that your mom will notice how did you leaning in a thin air.

"Oh nothing. Just saying the lines from a movie. Sorry if I'm being loud. You know how an actor had to have dramatic character--"

"Okay okay, I have to get cooking. Being loud doesn't mean you're into the character sweetie" saying that, she closed the door.

You exhaled in relief. Stretching your arms, Minho grasps them gently. You smiled, knowing he will always be there for you, even if you can't see him.

You leaned back, feeling the warmth on his chest.

"What's wrong, angel?"

He played with your hair, then placing his chin on your head. Deep down, you wanted to tell everyone about him, including your parents. You were planning to ask him about that, but instead, only breathes came out.

"Promise me something"

"What is it?"

"Promise that you'll never leave me"

He nuzzled his head into the crook of your neck, inhaling deeply. He tightened his arms that was wrapped around you.

"I promise" he cooed.

Afterwards, both of you watched a movie  until falling asleep.

You didn't realize a single tear escapes from your eyes, rolling down to your cheeks.

"I miss you, Leafy" you whispered. Out of nowhere, warmth surrounds your tiny frame. As if like being hugged by someone.

You intent to push it away, but it feels right. Watching the movie, you felt the side of the couch sunken. But you didn't care less.

Because the warmth's are still there. Slowly, you drifted into a peaceful sleep you haven't had in years since he left.
