Locked in // Hyunjin stray kids ✓

Epilogue

4 years later

"Class dismissed".
Everyone leaves the big classroom slowly after grabbing all of their stuff. I just sit there and look at what I painted, not feeling satisfied. Putting it in the big folder, I clean my stuff and make my way out of the university.

I yawn as I make my way to my dorm, feeling tired and stressed because of the upcoming finals.

Once I arrive and I've finished putting away all of my supplies, I make my way towards the center in hopes of calming down with some food. My roommate decides to come with me and together we walk towards our destination.

As we make our way to the center, we start hearing some screams. But not the type that you hear in horror movies, but it's surprisingly similar. It's the screams of fangirls and fanboys.

"Dude, let's go check that out. Maybe it's some sort of idol. Oh my god what if it's Exo?" Hayami told me while nudging me. I shrug and nod. We make our way towards the big crowd.

"Holy shit."

"What? What happened? Is it really Exo? Oh my god Exo I love you!" She starts screaming in joy and jumping trying to get a look at whoever is there. I roll my eyes and quickly tell her that it's not Exo.

One of the people in the surrounded group of boys was none other than Hwang Hyunjin. The boy I've grown to love. After two years without any contact, he's here in front of me. I didn't realize that I was fixated on him until we make eye contact. My eyes widen and so do his. We look at each other for what seems like ages. I frown and look away.

"Oh my god this day just keeps getting better it's Stray kids!" Hayami squeals and jumps up and down in excitement. I quickly tell her that I'll go find a place to eat and she can join me whenever. I leave her there with the rest of the crowd and make my wash towards a near by café that looks nice.

I can't seem to get the image of Hyunjin out of my head. I was so surprised.

"What the fuck was he doing here? Is he in a group?" My eyes wide open, my mouth wide open, I start to smile once u realize that he really ended up following his dreams to become an idol. Just that makes me tear up in joy.

"Soomi." I freeze. That voice.

I turn around and come face to face with Hyunjin.

"You remember me?"

"How could I ever forget you?" He says as he slowly starts to smile. He pulls me into a hug. A tight one filled with meaning. "I missed you so much."

I slowly push him away. "Then why didn't you contact me. Not a single message or anything. Nothing." I look at him with a feeling of anger and disappointment.

"I couldn't Soomi. I think you can tell now but I'm an idol. I'm part of a group! I followed my dreams. But I had to loose contact with everyone. I couldn't tell anyone about being a trainee and also I was way too busy. I would go to school for a few hours, go back and practice until past midnight so my homework until god knows what hour and then sleep. I didn't even make time for myself." My mouth is open in shock at hearing him talk about what he went trough. "But it's okay I'm in Stray kids and I love my members and my fans. And I love you."

"I'm so happy for you Hyunjin! I love you so much, holy shit. You don't understand how much I love you." I start to tear up because he's finally here. He's finally with me.

"I'm graduation university soon and I'll be coming back to Korea." I say and smile at him.

"You're already graduating? That's crazy!" He says and I nod at him enthusiastically.

He pulls me closer to him and wraps his arms around me gently but tightly at the same time, as if scared to let go and for me to disappear.

"I love you, Byun Soomi."

"I love you, Hwang Hyunjin."

He leans down and kisses me.

Who would've thought that our hatred towards each other would blossom into such a strong love? If you would've told me that 5 year ago, I would've slapped you, laughed and slapped you again because of how crazy that sounded. But it's the reality and I don't mind it. In fact I adore it. And this love all started with us being locked in.
