after about a twenty minute wait by a park bench, jace's tall figure was now obtained by their visions. his pants had the color of a vibrant red, then a navy blue shirt leading up. to top it all off, he had a faded denim jacket. an odd color combination, but it suited him very well.

"what are you two here for again?" sicheng asked youngmi and taeil with a rather quick way of speaking, the rush of nervousness turning heavier as the boy walked closer.

youngmi flashed him a bright smile. "moral support."

he arrived with his signature smile that reeked unintentional flirtatiousness, but immediately dropped it once he saw sicheng. ever since chanyeol's revelation during their team dinner, jace cut all means of communication with him, the thought still brings tears to his eyes without even noticing.

"oh him?" jace said, his charismatic expression turning into one of exasperation. but instead of shutting him out, he took a quick glance at the time on his phone before continuing, "you better be quick. i have my priorities."

sicheng stood in front of him gingerly, beads of sweat visibly rolling from his forehead despite the cool evening breeze. he pulled a neatly folded paper out of his jeans' pocket, fiddling with the sides as he reread the entirety of it. both youngmi and taeil stood by the side, their fingers crossed.

"through those days of us being together i━" he cut his own words off with a long sigh, putting the piece of paper back in his pocket. "you know what, i can't read this. it'll just feel like youngmi's the one talking to you. let me just . . apologize for that. that was really an asshole move and you don't deserve that treatment. i'm so sorry. i won't force you to forgive me because heck, i wouldn't forgive myself either if i were you.

"i just . . i just wanted to say that i really love you, and everything i felt was real. thank you for that, i guess?"

the sincerity was seeping, just like how the gentleness of the wind slightly tousled his hair away. it was like feeling the smoothness of his clothes' material touch with his milky skin.

jace let his guard down on plastering feigned coldness, regaining a goofy grin and a round of chuckling. "god, why am i such a hoe for you? why am i forgiving you this quickly?"

[ hello : ^ this is— this is the fruit of me writing at 1am so d i s r e g a r d ]

and after seeing that cute smile bubbling with hope, he couldn't help it anymore. jace enveloped sicheng into a hug, bending a little to rest his head on the other's shoulder to whisper certain words. from there, sicheng's light application of perfume somehow raising his spirits.

he missed it. the aromatic scent. the warmth of his embrace.

the words he whispered were, "don't lie to me again or i'll kick your ass."

"my ass would love to get kicked by you."
