Mark nodded, he was biting his lip to not to cry.

Donghyuck heard the car had stopped and Gian jumped out.

"So..." Donghyuck looked into Mark's eyes, shit why had he done it. Mark had such beautiful eyes. "Take care," he whispered moving his hand out of Mark's grip, that warm feeling this touch was giving him disappeared so suddenly.

He turned around jumping into the van unable to hold the tears back any loger.

He saw how Sicheng jumped out to huge Mark, both telling each other some sweet words, caressing each other's backs.

Sicheng's face was all red when he returned while Donghyuck caught Mark's stare through the window his stomach responding with butterflies again.

It hurt when Gian slammed the door shut and the car set into motion. He was watching Mark's trembling figure till it disappeared in the darkness.



The clock was ticking. Ella's phone was lighting up with messages, Yuta had picked Sicheng up, Sicheng was with him, they took Donghyuck from Mark's house. She felt like if some force would tear her back and forth. Her suitcases were packed standing right next to the door. The silence was vibrating. She heard a car engine and she glanced out of the window but the sight was impossible as he couldn't be here. Ella jumped up running to the door her heartbeat speeding up. She opened it widely to see Teil standing on the doormat.

"Taeil!" she shouted falling in his arms hugging him so tightly. She felt his arms firm around her back, her body answering with so much love.

"Ella," he whispered when she pulled a bit back looking him in the eyes taking his face in her hands.

"I can't believe you came home," she whispered.

"No, no..." Taeil lowered his head. "I came to say bye and wish you luck."

"Taeil!" she begged.

"Ella, you've made a decision here, just fulfill it. A lot can change in a year and if not..." he took a long breath. "You always know where to find me."

She looked at him, so it wasn't about his lack of love, it was to make it easier for her to go, to give her that chance.

"A lot can change, but my love for you is eternal," she whispered pulling him closer kissing his lips passionately, how she had missed that taste.

"Ella! Ella please stop! We broke up," begged Taeil pulling from her.

"Taeil I... I don't think I can go, I need you I... I can stay with you," she glanced at the packed luggage then back at his beautiful face.

He shook his head.

"So will you marry me tomorrow in the church in the village of the other side of the lake?" he asked killing all fire in her insides.

She moved a little away from him, her hands fell.

"You see Ella, that's your answer." Taeil was calm. "Go see the world, and if you come back maybe I'll ask again."

She was watching him in disbelief, she couldn't even understand herself, a part of her longed for him, but the bigger part...

She saw the lights of the van coming and her heartbeat sped up.

"Goodbye my Ella," whispered Taeil coming closer, catching her lips in for a long kiss.

Her head was dizzy when he pulled back, the room perspective was swinging.

She saw Gian, Yuta's bodyguard stopping in the door.

"And, are you coming with us?" He asked.

She looked at Taeil, at the van, at Taeil again.

"Yes," she whispered walking to the suitcases, but the man took them carrying them out.

She walk out into the chilly night, looking at the forest and that tiny house that has been her only hideout, only place of freedom for two years then turned to the yellow van lamps and she had no idea why, but her heart felt lighter when she jumped into the car opening the doors into the unknown.
