Hourglass (ChanChang)

**

Changbin sighs as he crosses off another town out the map.

It's been 3 days and it seemed like they barely made a dent. And every time they left a city after hours of searching, Changbin would look down at his wrist.

He sees the sand still slowly going down. He didn't want to fail. He didn't want to be alone, without a soulmate.

Having the constant reminder of it on his skin.

He let out a loud sigh. It was getting late and the three knew that.

"Maybe we should stay at a motel? We can continue tomorrow." Jisung suggest. It was for the best. It was a good idea to pack clothes just in case.

Minho drove them to a nearby motel and rented a small room with two beds. It was cheaper and best for them to save money.

"I'm exhausted." Changbin says as he plops himself on the bed. Jisung and Minho nod as they sit on the other bed.

Jisung pulls out the map and lays it out on their shared bed. Minho looks at all the red 'x's. It really did look like they barely made a dent.

"I say we go here tomorrow." Minho says as he points to a town that was two hours from where they were.

Changbin gets up and checks the map. He sees the town and nods.

"Vending machine snacks for dinner?" Jisung asks as he gets up and looks for spare change.

"I'll come with." Changbin says as he also looks for change.

"Bring back some gummy bears!" Minho calls out.

They exit their room and walk a few feet to the machine. Jisung places a finger on his lip and taps it, wondering what to get.

Changbin points to the chips and then chocolate chip cookies. "We can get two of those and three of these."

Jisung nods. "Oh and Minho's gummy's!"

They insert the correct change for the snacks and input the numbers. And watch as the spring slowly pushes out their dinner.

"I thought I was going to be over 80 just waiting for these to come out!" Jisung exaggerates.

Changbin laughs and slightly shakes his head. They enter the room and see Minho laying in the bed, phone in hand.

"Here you go babe." Jisung jumps on the bed and hands him the bears. Minho kisses the youngers cheek as thanks.

"Yuck! Get a room!" Changbin playfully says.

"You get a room!" Jisung defends and throws a piece of chip. But Changbin was fast and caught it in his mouth.

"Thank you!"

The boys slept. And woke up at 6 in the morning.

"I hate waking up early..." Jisung mumbles as they place their bags in the trunk.

"I want a homemade meal." Minho yawns out.

"There's a diner nearby that cooks homemade food." Changbin suggests.

They drove to the diner and had a nice home cooked meal. It's was refreshing from all the fast food.

"Two hours of sitting in this car!" Jisung yells and hits the radio and music blasts out of it.

Even though it was hours in a small car, they always had fun with it. They would sing different songs, play car games.

"Almost there!" Jisung yells as they pass by a sign.

Another hour or so passed and they arrived at the small town.

"Alright we'll leave the car at the motel and walk from there. Cool?" Minho asks as they head to the motel.

"Cool." Both boys answered.

They arrived at the small motel and checked in a room. They placed their things in the room and went out.

"Alright let's head right!" Changbin suggests and points to the direction. The other boys nod and followed Seo.

The sand was dripping and Changbin knew it.

'I'll find you, Chan."
