[a chapter to commemorate my second book that reached the thousands]

<past>

In midst of a stressful middle of a school year, a boy fell in love with another, soon a story blossomed. It was almost dark and Taeyong couldn't find a way to get back home as his driver never came for him after he was called in sick later this afternoon, and his parents were super busy in work. He doesn't know how to get around the streets, but he was getting anxious by the sight of students leaving one by one.

Soon the moon replaced the sun and the stars jotted the sky. Taeyong started to walk cowardly, the eeriness and the most gentle of sounds frightened him. He wasn't even out of the campus and he already jumped from the sound of a cat having a ruckus. From the jump he dropped some of his stuff on the floor. He bent down and picked them up until someone dropped down in front of him and helped him.

Their hands brushed together and Taeyong looked up and saw the boy that he liked for a very long time. His name was Oh Sehun. He was everything Taeyong loved in a boy; tall, handsome, cute, athletic and not to mention sexy.

"S-Sehun, what are you doing here?"

"I was about to leave until I saw you, you wanna walk home together?" Sehun's hands found its way to grab Taeyong's small hand.

🌌

Weeks after weeks have passed and Taeyong and Sehun got so much closer. Everyone in school thought they were boyfriends, the way they walked together, they eat together and they way they look at each other.

"Taeyong, will you be my boyfriend?" Sehun sheepishly asked, surrounded by the beautiful flowers in Taeyong's family garden.

Taeyong decided to bring Sehun there as their hangout place and their place to be alone most of the time.

"Yes!" Taeyong smiled and tossed his body towards the tall male.

Taeyong has done everything for Sehun, do his homework, tutor him and even go to his games. He would spend a lot for him and buy sentimental objects for him every time they go out.

Sehun, on the other hand, was the opposite. He was like that big, fat and hairy husband who just lays on the couch and does nothing for his wife.

Taeyong was blinded, blinded from the kisses and the occasional intimate sessions. He told everything about him, and Sehun absorbed all information about his boyfriend. From how his family got rich, how he acts and especially how desperate he is, he has gathered all of these and kept it in his mind.

"I love you" Taeyong snuggled onto the taller, his hair lying under Sehun's nose as he inhales his fragrant hair.

"I love you too"

🌌

Taeyong was so happy. He has a boyfriend for almost a year now, and tomorrow marks their one year together. This also means that he will not be marrying any suitor that his mother would dish out. It was their deal after all.

If Taeyong was able to keep a boyfriend in a year, then he is excluded from suitors and marriages. But if he fails, his mother has the rights to choose a suitor for Taeyong to marry at the age of 19. This is to preserve and expand the wealth of their family.

The boy was determined to last long with Sehun. He stayed up all night to make cookies and chocolates to give to his beloved. He even wrote a lengthy letter that he poured all his heart out on, that was to be the 'cherry on top' for his whole first year anniversary fiasco.
