ATEEZ social experiment

Part 20

                              Think Hole

My cheeks burned as my grin only grew more at his words. Did he really just say that? Is it possible for someone to truly care about me despite my past and faults?
It is true. This is reality, my reality.
Unable to think of words my mind runs wild high on happiness. My chest tightness as butterflies invade my insides.
"I'm falling in love with you too," eventually i say through my staggered breathing. I try to relax my smile but the joy inside me won't let it happen.
Seonghwa takes a moment to process my words and the corners of his mouth pull back revealing his perfect porcelain teeth. His eyes brighten and fill with wonderful life.
Unexpectedly he bends down quickly wrapping his arms around my waist and lifts me off my feet. I throw my arms around his neck to keep from falling and to be closer to him.
Nothing in this world matters in this moment. All that exists are him and I. Life is beautiful.
I look into his eyes and he twirls is around the top of the tower. Gently he lowers me keeping his hands on my waist i keep mine around him.
My happiness escapes me in a small chuckle and only causes him to grin larger. He leans in and softly presses his lips to mine. A pure light kiss of true feelings. Lust is no where to be found only love.
The short moment ends and we look to each other heartwarmingly smiling to each other. Gently he brushes the hair from my face and momentarily stalls cradling the side of my face in his hand.
"I truly am in love," he whispers to me causing me to melt into his hand. I raise my hand and brush mine on top of his.
"Me too," i say the only thing that comes to mind. My brain is off in lalaland, i'm on a high there's no way i can think straight now.

     Together, us three survivors, watched the sunset. Our first one together, our first one free.

I stood between the two tallers an watched as the sky faded from a brilliant gold to a soft pink then to a burning red. I lean my head onto Seonghwa's shoulder and let out a breath of pure relief.

This dream that we are in is a paradise.

"So are you two official now or-," San butts in between us are we go down the stairs. I can't hide the smile on my face just thinking about what happened earlier.

"Yes," Seonghwa answers him in full confidence. I let out a laugh and both look to me.

"Technically you never asked me you just confessed to me," I playfully push Hwa causing San to bust out laughing.

"I didn't think I needed to, " he begins to get defensive causing us to laugh harder, "Normally if someone returns your confession it's a given."

"I'm just messing with you!" I put my arm around him but his butt hurt self shakes it off.

"Aww someone's feelings got hurt," San pouts in Seonghwa's face making fun of him. Hwa suddenly grabs San shoulder and pulls him close.

"At least I'm not single," he smirks at him and walks off and follow behind him. I turn around and pretend to do a mic drop.

"Aish, children," San says under his breath then jogs to catch up with us.

"In 24 hours we will be back in korea," Seonghwa sighs as he flops back onto the bed. I smile at the thought.

"I can't wait to be home," I add in smiling to the ceiling. Then it comes to me. I suddenly sit up. "Have i been paying for my apartment this whole year? I don't know if my lease even went this long," I whine as I flop back on the bed.

"Maybe they let you by given the circumstances?" San attempts to ease my situation.

"Doubt it those places only care about money. Wait. What if they kept charging me and I have no more money," I whine even louder into the sheets as I kick my legs.

"What would they do with your stuff?" in joins Seonghwa not helping a bit.

"I didn't even think about that," I lay lifelessly and let all the horrible thoughts run through my head.

"Well if it comes to that you can always come stay with me," San reaches out but Seonghwa shoots up from the bed and death glares him, "Or you can just stay with your boyfriend that sounds much better." He gives us a thumbs up.

"How are we even going to explain that to people? Like 'Hi dad I've been abducted for the past year and lost half my memories oh and meet my girlfriend'." I didn't even think about that Hwa has a point.

"Good luck with that," San adds in.

"You don't have to bring me up," they have enough to take in why add something so unrelated.

"Hana-" I cut him off.

"They will be trying to process a lot already we can leave it out just for a bit."

"Are you sure?" he props himself up on his elbow and I look over to him and nod my head smiling.

"Just a few days, it's not forever."

We all woke up early and packed up the clothes we somehow obtained in our time here. After each taking turns in the bathroom we finally prepared for our departure.
     Silently we sat in the escort vehicle all deep in thought. Thinking of the past, of what we lost, and what to say when we face our loved ones.
      My family. What will they say. What will i say to them it's been over two years now since i've seen them and barely spoke to them in that time.
      Before I knew it we boarded the private jet Korea sent for us. The three of us and the four escorts took our seats. Us on the seats facing each other the others on the row in the front. Quietly we sat tensed not knowing what to say what to feel.
     We should be happy, excited to be going home but all i feel inside is fear and anxiety. We will have to love this all over when we land. Endless people asking for our story over and over, suffocating us.
     Can we just stay in the air forever?
     I pray this plane never lands.
