Tao is drowning in his own sorrow ever since Kris left. Every night, when Tao thinks everybody has gone to sleep, he sits on the windowsill as if waiting for him to return and silently cries. There is someone who is worried and wants to help his friend. Not an AU. Time

He hated knowing that he had spent twenty-seven years of his life worrying about if life would turn out all right, five of those being what would be his next drink, who would he sleep with next, etc., while Yixing spent his early years wondering what he could do to change the world, and the past nine years wondering what his best way to die was.

Chanyeol is always afraid of what Kris will do to him if he tells his love to Tao, but will one day will Chanyeol steal the panda away from the giant, or will he watch in silence and in longing?
