Jaehyun remained silent the entire ride, and thanked Yuta, smirking at them as well as bidding them a “Goodbye,” and “Good luck, you'll need it.”

Walking towards his car, he glanced at Taeil one last time, he heaved a long drag sigh as he reached his car, hopping inside. He started the engine, driving smoothly out of the parking lot. Honestly, Jaehyun wondered why the school was still open at this hour.

Nontheless, he continued driving. Jaehyun then slowly started thinking of what the others could've planned for Sicheng for the upcoming day. He stopped at the red light, letting his thoughts trail upon him.

The male really wasn't the type to gift anyone anything, although Sicheng was obviously an exception. Yet for now, a gift that he has to give gotta be something original.

Something Sicheng would like and something that would resemble their current relation. Out of disbelief, someone started honking behind him, he groaned is disbelief as he realized the light was already on green.

“Oops-” he muttered as he stepped on the gas, speeding through the rather empty highway. Looking everywhere, he stopped in front of a mall, then glancing back at his watch. “It's already nine in the night, I better hurry,”

He parked his car quickly as he dashed through the halls. Glancing on each store as he passed alot of them, some were starting to close down. The reason for his stop at the mall was to buy Sicheng's favorite cake.

Besides, the Chinese male had once stated that it really has been a while since they've hung out in the mall and Sicheng did miss the cakes they usually had especially when both boys were younger.

Raising his fist up high, Jaehyun finally arrived in the cake shop where everyone knew him since it was his and Sicheng's hiding place anyway. “Jaehyunnie?” a woman in her 50s stepped forward.

“Mrs. Yin?” she held his cheek before hugging Jaehyun tightly. “Jae! My child, where have you been?! It's so late! Where's Sicheng?” the young male struggled to break free as he was bombarded with questions.

“Mrs. Yin! Calm down! I'm sorry Sicheng and I haven't been visiting lately. School can burn itself, and I'm here because I need something,” Jaehyun whined as she placed a finger on her chin.

“Let me guess, you're finally courting your boy, Jung Yoonoh?” the aforementioned choked at this, “How did you know-” Mrs. Yin laughed, “Don't be foolish, Yoonoh. I've seen how you looked at Sicheng and did I mention that you always make an excuse of coming here just to buy him his favorite cake from time to time?”

Jaehyun sighed, she was right, every single time he wanted to do something special for Sicheng, he'd get him cake, because the flavor of his cake was on the secret menu. That only customers that come almost everyday knew about.

So in conclusion, the male did everything he could just to get Sicheng his cake. He yearns to give Sicheng happiness. “Fine, you caught me,” Jaehyun answered back as he pouted in defeat.

It was quixotic for Jaehyun to be oblivious to his actions. Though, the longing moments passed as Mrs. Yin suddenly left to come back with a black box wrapped in a white ribbon, placing it on the table. “Honestly Jae, I want to see you and Sicheng again. So once you come back, make sure you're his boyfriend already or I'm not giving you guys free treats.”

“Wait what— free treats?! Well played. But, can I have some tips?” Mrs. Yin was amused by this, “Don't expect me to know everything, lover boy. Sicheng is unique and you should understand that in your way since you two have been best friends ever since.” she chimed.

“Point taken, he's ethereal.” Jaehyun agreed. He took a moment to sit down, almost time being non-existant to him. “Have you figured out what you need to do?”

“Yes yes! I do now, thanks Mrs. Yin!” Jaehyun exclaimed. “Now, keep it down, Jae. We wouldn't want to be scolded by other store owners.” the woman whispered as she pats the boy's back.

“I also think you should go now, it's getting late and you have to do more for Sicheng. A note maybe? Attach it to the cake,” Jaehyun nodded vigorously as he grabbed the cake, holding it in it's safe state as he rushed back to his car.

A small wheeze escaped Jaehyun's lips out of excitement, he really couldn't wait for Sicheng to see the flavored cake they used to share. Returning back to his mansion, he immediately ran towards the kitchen where he placed the neatly packaged cake.

Smiling to himself, he continued to let his feet take him to his room, grabbing a pen and paper to start writing the letter he wanted to write for Sicheng along with the cake.

Maybe a poem would do? (a/n: feeling poetic rn, so deal with it 😳) he agreed with himself so he started writing down what came to mind.

The beauty you hold
That made me cherish you whole

I would hide in a dark hole
But I know that I can't lose you

Because, you belong to me
Even if time would flee

He tried to attach more notes below it, trying to be as professional as he could. Knowing it was a necessity, he continued. Despite his efforts, he knew everything he felt for Sicheng couldn't just be written on paper.

It couldn't just be emotional, it had to be physical too. Jaehyun longed for the warmth Sicheng gave. Amongst the time that had passed. That he cherished. That he plastered in his memories.

Changing his original position, Jaehyun walked back to his bed as he layed down, he was quick at brain storming yet slow in applying. A good night sleep felt like a good idea for now.

Jaehyun was tired anyway, and he needed the energy to beat those he still calls friends and family. Everything was actually good the way it was, everything being hidden from Sicheng. Although he knew that it all had to be revealed eventually.

Letting out a small yawn, Jaehyun being slowly drifted off to sleep. He felt as if Sicheng was calling for him, which made him chuckle one last time before snuggling into his pillow.
