Prologue
- In an alternate timeline -
I remember the day that I fell for him, Yoosung. We weren't a special case back then, just two young people looking for some fun. If only I knew where that would lead me. I wonder if I would have done anything different.
The world began to dance in its ballroom of white. Watching my breath swirl into clouds in front of me, listening to the sweet sound of Yoosungs laugh beside me.
"That was one hell of a show huh? I never knew Zen could act like that!"
Yoosungs voice instantly soothing my heart. I realized all too soon that we were nearing my apartment, now that all our security issues were solved the address was revealed. But I didn't want to leave yet, I want to stay with him longer. My legs unconsciously took us to a new road. The flood of people taking us by surprise.
"Yoosung!" I called out. No answer.
Desperate I began to search, he couldn't have gone far after all he was just here.
"Yoosung!" I continued calling, the people around me giving me strange looks. I didn't care I just needed to find him. "Yoosu-!" Someone grabbed my hand and started pulling me away.
"It's okay I'm right here" Relief flooded over me as I saw yoosung standing in front of me.
"Cmon we need to get out of this crazy crowd.." he trailed off staring at our joined hands. His face turning a slightly deeper shade of pink. Or was that just my imagination?
"Uhm. ah l-let's go" he holds on tighter "don't let go until we're out"
My heart began to flutter at his words. Feeling his warm hand against mine I felt my cheeks warm up. Despite the cold day surrounding us I felt hot. It was at that moment as I watched his back while he guides me through the crowd that I realized. This tender hand around mine is one that I don't want to let go of.
Gasping for air we escaped the crowd.
"Are you okay? No one messed with you in that crowd right?" hearing Yoosungs concerned voice gave me butterflies.
"yeah I'm okay thanks to you" I replied
He became flustered only adding to my amusement. He's so cute I thought as I watched him stutter.
"W-Well it's about time to take you home huh.. I shouldn't keep you out so late."
Although the thought of leaving made me sad, I couldn't help but blush at the notion of his care for me. After that we walked back to my apartment in silence. Although we had escaped the crowd. The entire walk back, our hands never separated.
And the world began to sparkle.
