In Your Arms Again

It's A Love/Hate Relationship

Nervously, I stood outside the door and watched as Kai and Luhan conversed in the hospital room.

Luhan smiled upon seeing his visitor and they began talking about everything. I couldn’t help but feel a distinct longing to be there beside him but I was scared, what was I supposed to say. After talking a bit about their individual recoveries and they upcoming work they have for their showcase, Luhan looked over and I froze in my spot when I was caught standing outside.

Neither of us said anything, we just stared at each other. It was then that I noticed, his eyes looked so lifeless and then all of a sudden, there seemed to be a bit more light when our gazes met.

He looked so weak on the bed with an IV connected to his hand. I wanted to kill myself knowing that I was the one that did this to him.

“Yah! Yoonae, what are you doing standing out there?” I snapped out of my trance and barely noticed Kai in front of me before he took my wrist and prepared to pulled me into the room.

“Wait...” He paused and looked at me in concern. I dropped my eyes to the floor. “I don’t think I can see him. I don’t know if I’ll be able to leave him afterwards-”

“Nonsense. That’s why I brought you here. So you two can make up.”

“But...Kris said-”

He scoffed and used one hand to pull my chin up, making me look at him. “Forget everything Kris said. Screw him. What he said wasn’t true. It’s not your fault.”

“But...”

“Who do you trust more? Me or Kris?” I looked at him skeptically as I contemplated.

“Yah!” I whined as he protested and flicked me on the forehead. “Of course it’s me! Why do you even need to think it over?”

I couldn’t help but smile just a little bit. At least I had someone who knew how to make my day better.

He grinned. “I like that smile. Makes your face slightly more tolerable.” I scowled at him and he laughed at me. He tugged on my wrist one more time. “Let’s go.” He said.

“Wait! Kai...” He turned to me once again. “Please don’t tell Luhan about what Kris said. I don’t want them to argue.”

His grip loosened a bit and he gave me a look which I didn’t completely understand. It wasn’t something I was used to with him. After what seemed like an eternity, he broke our eye contact and began leading me into the room again.

I felt an awkward sensation in my gut as he mumbled something that was probably intended to be inaudible for me: “Why can’t you think about yourself once in a while?”

My mind was flooded with confusion as I tried to comprehend what exactly Kai meant by that...and well...everything else that he had said to me earlier today and the night before. It all went away though when I was a few meters away from Luhan’s hospital bed.

I looked up at him and he looked up at me. A sense of relief rushed through me as I was finally able to see him again.

How long has it been since I’ve last seen him? He looked so different. He looked so much skinnier, dark circles surrounded his lifeless eyes but even then, my heart still leapt erratically when he smiled at me.

Tears whelmed up in my eyes when I realized that we hadn’t seen each other in weeks and the last time we were together, I had made him cry.

I started crying so hard when I remembered the look on his face the last time we saw each other. The sound of his voice, everything that I missed so much.

I heard him gasp and call out to me, “Yoonae what’s wrong?!”

Despite my tears disrupting my view, I managed to find my way to the bed. He urged me to sit on bed with him and held me close to him. My head rested comfortably on his shoulder as my tears continued to fall.

Slowly, he leaned in and just barely, our lips brushed together. My breath hitched, my heart sped up to the point where I thought it was going to explode at any given time. I stared into his eyes in wonder and slowly, I began to trust him. I closed my eyes and not a second later, his lips pressed fully, but gently against mine.

He smiled lovingly at me and I couldn’t help but smile back. “Yoonae...will you be my girlfriend?”

“I gave you that chance because I could see how much he liked you. I thought you felt the same way too. I ing gave you that chance but in less than 24 hours, you took everything away from him!”

We stood on the front porch hugging each other in silence. I didn’t want to let go. It took so long to see him a second time, who knew how long it would take to see him again?

Luhan: Sweet dreams my love. I miss you already.

“I looked over Luhan since the first day he came to this company. I lived with him, ate with him, trained with him but NEVER had I seen him so lifeless before.”

Me too. Sweet dreams.

“All thanks to you Yoonae, all thanks to you.”

“Are you breaking up with me?”

“Don’t leave me.” “Don’t leave me. I’m sorry I lied but I promise I won’t do it again. Please?”

“Luhan, let go of me.” “Let go of me now, or we’re really over.”

“I’m sorry.”

Maybe it’s for the best.

“Park Yoonae, I swear to God, you better stay away from my Luhan-hyung. I don’t want you near any of my members again.”


“Why didn’t you tell me?” I paused to look up at him through my watery eyes. He wiped a few remaining tears off my face before urging me to go on.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were suffering? You should have called me, texted me, something.”

He kissed me on the forehead and leaned his cheek against my head. “I didn’t want to worry you. Besides, I promised didn’t I? That I would be successful for you. And truthfully....”

“Hm...?”

“I missed you so much. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to keep my promise and you wouldn’t want to see me anymore.”

I threw my arms around his neck and buried myself there.

“Idiot.” I mumbled. “I missed you too.”

Somehow we ended up laying in the bed and cuddling next to each other alone. My worries and fears were long forgotten as we chatted occasionally and spent time catching up with each other.

“Did you see the new Music Video?” He asked me. I nodded, hesitated, and then shook my head.

“I only saw the EXO-K version.” I replied.

He frowned. “Why?”

“For Chanyeol and Baekhyun of course! Did I mentioned Kai looked so good? And Sehun’s lisp is so cute~”

He scowled and turned away from me. I couldn’t help but laugh, he was so adorable when he was jealous.

“To tell you the truth though...I didn’t finish watching it because I saw your individual clip and it hurt me too much.” I confessed. “That’s the reason why I avoided the Chinese version as well.”

He turned to face at me again, all doubts washed away as he now displayed a confident smirk. “See I knew from the beginning that you would come back to me anyways.”

I rolled my eyes. Why all of a sudden did Luhan have the Kai syndrome? I felt him place a hand on my cheek and I faced him. He smiled warmly at me, all signs of arrogance gone as he leaned in. I closed my eyes and let him take the lead.

“Yah! What are you doing there?” Our lips had barely touched before the call of an intruder made just jump apart.

I looked to the door and immediately shrunk into Luhan’s hold. There, standing lean and tall by the door, was Kris and boy he did not look happy.

Before I could even open my mouth to respond, Chanyeol, Kai and Baekhyun came running in with panic written across their faces. Kai came up to me and pulled me out of Luhan’s arms, almost making me roll onto the floor if not for the help of Chanyeol.

“Hurry, our manager is coming right now.” Baekhyun said as he helped rush me through the door. I took one last glance at my boyfriend before they dragged me out and down the hall for good.

Once outside the room, I managed to catch a glimpse of a few EXO members at one end of the hall as they tried to distract their manager. We quickly took a round about route and made our way to the parking lot where a taxi was waiting for us.

“The manager doesn’t know Kai is here so he’s going to take you home first alright?” Baekhyun explained, flashing me his brilliant smile. Chanyeol wore a huge grin as well as he waved us good-bye.

I smiled, leave it to the breakfast couple to lighten up the mood. I sank back into the seat and leaned my head on Kai’s shoulder.

“Your head is heavy.” He complained and shook his shoulder.

I slapped his leg playfully to get him to stop. “Stop being so bitter.” I told him.

He sighed and relaxed, letting me lean against him. “The things I do for you.” He mumbled playfully, pretending to be annoyed.

I giggled. “You know you love me.”

“Are you sure you’re not confusing love with hate?”

“Nope.” I replied. “You totally love me.”

He chuckled. “Sure sure. Just go to sleep won’t you? I’ll wake you when we get there.”

I wordlessly agreed and closed my eyes with a ridiculous smile plastered on my face.
