CHAPTER 17
HEAVEN'S EYES
The sun shone above the sky and hid behind the white clouds. The weather was nice and a soft breeze was blowing. Junmyeon took a deep breath and smiled.
“Here we are,” Kris said and stopped the car. What Junmyeon saw took his breath away. They parked right in front of a very large garden full of all kinds of flowers and trees. Junmyeon gasped out loud.
“This is the Ashikaga flower park,” Kris explained, “Beautiful isn’t it?”
Junmyeon nodded without speaking. He found it hard to even breathe in front of something so majestic.
“Come on, he’s inside,” Kris said and Junmyeon followed him without a word.
They passed by the Kawachi fuji garden and went through the wisteria tunnel. Junmyeon looked all around him in amazement. When he settled down, he noticed Kris looking at him and smiling. It was like the good old days. It felt the same yet somehow different. They’re both a different person now.

“Maybe I’ll see you around,” Kris said as he started to walk away.
“See you later, my friend,” Junmyeon replied. And he watched Kris’s silhouette disappeared among the many colours of the flowers.

Knock….knock…
“Who’s there?” he asked, “Jane, is that you?”
“Who’s Jane?”
“Junmyeon?” Chanyeol almost fell backwards, “What are you doing here?”
“How did you know I’m here?” he asked, “Kris told you, didn’t he?”
“I think the better question should be ‘What are you doing here?’,” Junmyeon replied.
“I told you, Junmyeon,” Chanyeol said, “I was going to find you soon. After I am ready.”
“Ready for what?”
“You wouldn’t understand,
