LEAVE ME ; junhao

00

Junhui couldn't sleep. He lay awake, surrounded by darkness. There was no noise; the night was silent.

Four days had passed. And those four days determined which person Minghao would be with. Junhui was anxious for the result. He wanted it to be him after the last two people.

Oh. He knew. Junhui knew everything. That his life was a simulation and that he lived within ones and zeros. He had become self-aware but to tell the others, he did not. He couldn't. What would happen to them or even himself if he were to expose their fabricated world?

Junhui knew of every reboot, every reset, every scenario and every possible ending. Someone new had signed on as the MC. It was someone Junhui found himself liking way too much. He wasn't supposed to really fall in love. He was meant to do exactly as he was programmed. So, why did Junhui want Minghao to forever be by his side?

He cannot fall in love with a human. He shouldn't have... but he did.

Junhui watched Minghao go out with Mingyu and Seokmin... there were only three more routes including his own.

In the game, Junhui was an aspiring musician in university who would always win the piano competition and would soon become famous for playing both piano and violin as well as writing his own compositions. In his route, the MC would help him through every wind and twist in the road towards his dream and though Junhui had lived those same eleven days thousands of times, he wanted to experience it with Minghao.

And when the sun finally rose, Junhui awoke from his slumber. He didn't even know he had fallen asleep. Hastily, he checked his phone and went onto the messaging app. He felt anxious and excited all at the same time which was a really unsettling experience.

Then, he saw it. Junhui had almost cried tears of joy when finally... finally, Minghao was soon to be his.

'Jun?'

Junhui's heart skipped a beat as he squeezed through the doorway of his small apartment with an armful of groceries. Yesterday, Minghao had moved in with him (as expected).

The younger male walked over to the musician with that beautiful bright smile of his. Minghao kissed Junhui's cheek as a greeting.

'Hi' Junhui smiled and stared into Minghao's eyes. The other giggled lightly.

'Hi. Need some help?' He offered but Junhui shook his head and placed the bags on the kitchen counter. He was eager to be with Minghao, he had been all day. Junhui walked back to Minghao and wrapped his arms around his lanky body.

'Hi,' He said again and buried his face into Minghao's soft locks. He laughed and kissed Junhui's cheek once more.

'You already said that' Minghao stated. 'But hi anyway'

They made their way to the couch and Junhui just threw his coat off, allowing it to lay on the ground until the morning. He sat down and let Minghao settle himself in between his legs and put his head on the older's chest. Junhui found that embracing him was addicting.

'What are you watching?' Junhui asked in curiosity. To which Minghao shrugged and replied with,

'I'm not sure... Some random drama'

As Minghao continued to watch the show, Junhui couldn't stop looking at his mesmerising beauty. His smooth skin, his sparkling eyes pair with a dazzling smile and not to mention his cheeks that grew rosy every time Junhui made a comment about how much he liked him.

At this point, Junhui knew that he loved Minghao. He thought that he had known Junhui and the other for only seven days but Junhui had known Minghao for much more than he knew.
