Early morning I woke up beside Soobin like the last five days he had been there, and I was getting used to it. But this time he was awake, watching me admiringly. I smiled. "Good morning." My voice was hoarse with sleep.

"Mornin' Taehyunnie." He muttered, smiling. "You good? No headache or anything?" I looked at him weirdly until I remembered the last night's heart-to-heart we had with some alcohol consumption. Surprisingly I was fine.

"Nope, all good. You?"

"Me too," Soobin said. "Happy even."

"Good." He continued to stare at me, not until he started leaning closer was when I raised my hand and held his shoulders, giggling slightly. "No no, mister. No kisses with the morning breath."

"I do not mind the morning breath."

"But I do."

"Please?"

"No Binnie, brush your teeth." He pouted with his rosy plump lips that were hard to resist. But then maybe an idea came to his head because then he suddenly grinned. "You know what?" I did not dare say a word, tracking his movements. With a swift motion, he caught the bottle on the bedside table and gulped down some water. I was caught off-guard when he was upon me, holding my cheeks. "I hope now it's not a problem." He let out before diving in and capturing my lips with his. I wanted to laugh. He melted my heart with his cuteness sometimes.

When it was turning from a chaste kiss to a whole make-out session, I stopped him while barely containing the urge to laugh out loud. "Okay stop now." I tried to get away from him and he was still clinging onto me, refusing to let go. He finally released me and I laughed when I saw him with his bottom lip stuck out, his eyes looking adorable as always. "You are such a baby."

Soobin chuckled. "Now am I?" There was a teasing edge to it. I threw a glare.

"Your mind needs to get out of the gutter."

"What?"

"Nothing. Go brush your teeth."

"Why are you being mean today?"

"It's only a matter of time, sweetheart." I kissed the top of his head and got out from the bed, going straight for the bathroom. The door opened, closing and a groan escaped from Soobin.

"Should I call again?"

"I think you should go there physically."

I sighed. "No. Not right now." It wasn't like I was dodging the subject. I wanted to return as soon as I left my home. But the fear of my dad not accepting and keeping with my decisions would've hurt my mental state, as I was already going through an emotional tremor.

"You will be okay Tae."

I didn't reply, staring at the screen blankly. Mom wasn't picking her phone, nor was dad. This never really happened before and I was at a loss of what to do, in the end coming up with no conclusion. "Can we just not talk about this for now?"

"Closing your eyes doesn't mean the world will disappear."

"You are stealing my words."

"I also stole your heart."

"Will you ever stop flirting?"

"Never." I was able to see what he was exactly trying to do. And he succeeded in that task when it grew harder for me to keep a smile off of my face. He was such a dork, I loved him just a little more after every moment like these. "Did our sulky Taehyun just smile?"

"You are annoying." I chuckled lightly as his hands grabbed my waist. We were on the balcony of Beomgyu's house, our prime spot for long talks after the night before. A gust of wind made him caress my cheek. It was oddly comforting.

"Can I ask something?" I wondered aloud.

"Anything."

Reminiscing an old memory, I asked, "Remember when you first told me that you liked me?"

Soobin shifted in his place, now fully resting his head on my shoulder from behind. "I remember every single memory I made with you."

"Then... you said that you knew me from much before and I wasn't aware of it...what did you mean by that?" I waited patiently for his answer, for which he took a bit of his time, thinking over his reply.

"Well, that's a secret for another day."

"Wow, is it that big of a story?"

"Yes, a really long story with mystery and adventure."

"Adventure? Seriously?" We both laughed.

"Yes. Don't be jealous."

"Oh, shut up." His fingers started playing with the ends of my hair, making me relax slowly into his embrace.

"Are you feeling better?" He asked quietly. Was I feeling better? Yes. A lot. His presence always did things to calm me down. He was my anchor.

"Yeah."

"Is something wrong?"

"Not anymore."

"I'm glad." He whispered. "I love you, Tae." I have already heard that phrase a million times, but every time feels like the first. That's what amazed me the most. There was still so many undiscovered sides of Soobin. He was just a mystery that unravelled little by little at every point of our lives. But then I got reminded of a brutal truth.

The time we had together was far too little for me and him. It was already the 26th of December and only a week and a half were left until Soobin departed again for Ansan. I was already scared. Scared of missing him. Scared of him being gone for a while. Scared of his absence. Scared of the fact that I wouldn't see him anytime soon.

"You are overthinking again." I could feel his knowing smile. I closed my eyes.

"Am I?"

"Yes, you are. And we need to fix that." I turned altogether to look at him. "What are you talking abo-" I stopped mid-sentence as he placed a warm kiss on my lips, suddenly all too close. The kiss was short but intense. When he broke contact, a grin adorned his face. "We still have plenty of time. You don't need to worry." He leaned back into my chest once again, nuzzling his face against mine. I felt a soft smile form on my mouth as I wrapped my arms around him. He hummed contentedly.

As if he was reading my mind, he whispered softly, "Let's stay like this forever."

That's a good wish for me, indeed.
