Hourglass (ChanChang)

Chan (Day 3)

A/N double update for my lack of updating.
——
*Chans POV
Morning arrived. I was fast to search for Changbin. He was close. Near me. Yet so far.

I needed to find him. My time was running out. His name will just be with me forever.

I skipped breakfast. Not wanting to waste any daylight. I walked around crowded areas. Not feeling a single tug.

Perhaps he was in a different area. I went to the next crowded popular place.

Nothing.

I look at my wrist. The sand dripping faster and faster.

No, it was just my imagination. The panic was taking over my body and making me see things I didn't want to see.

"Where are you Changbin?"

Night was arriving fast. And I could no longer search. I went back to my hotel room.

Feeling tired and overwhelmed. I just wanted to find him and live in peace.

I went to bed. But sleep was the last thing on my mind.

I tossed and turned. Groaning as I could not sleep. I look at the time 12:19

Everything was closed. No one will be outside. Maybe a walk will do me some good.

Even though I've been walking for the past days.

I get out of bed and put on a hoodie and sweats. Slipping on my shoes and leaving my room and the building.

The streets were only lit up by the moon and the dim street lights.

I take off to my right and walk the empty streets. Cars passing by me every now and then.

I look at the time. 12:50am. Already? Time was flying fast.

I continue to walk and ended up at a park. Sitting in the cold bench and looking up at the night sky.

The moon and starts shining brightly together.

It was silly to be jealous that they were together while I was here, alone.

I fiddle with my fingers. Looking down at them and frowning at the thought of not having a soulmate.

(A/N so here I'm going to explain what happens when the sand runs out. Cause I literally just came up with it.)

Once the sand ends, his name will forever be with me. My feelings for him will be gone. I will have no connection with him if I ever did meet him.

He'll be nothing to me. Just a person. A stranger. Someone who I couldn't find fast enough and love.

I nibble on my bottom lip. Holding back tears as I lightly trace his name. The sand going faster and faster by the second.

It was time. It'll all be over soon.

I'm sorry Seo Changbin. I failed to find you.

I swallow harshly as the sand was on the last seconds on ending.

My heart beating panicky and anxiously.

Or so I thought.

"Chan?"

I look up to see a male I haven't seen before. How did he know my name?

My heart tugged harshly. My stomach twisted and hands became sweaty.

"Changbin?"

I feel the sand come to a sudden stop. I look down and see it slowly disappear.

I look at Changbin, who was looking at his own wrist.

The hourglass was disappearing.

I get up from the bench and walk up to him. Hugging the shorter tightly.

My heart beat was slowing down. Stomach being filled with butterflies.

I was finally holding him.

Changbin wrapped his arms around me. Burying himself into my chest.

"I finally found you." We both said.
