{ Next Day : }

It's 6.30 a.m. of Saturday morning. Tao stirred awake as he tries to cover his sights from the rays of sunlight shone through. He rubbed his eyes as he tries to adjust his eyes. Once he sees everything clearly, the first thing he sees was his lovely wife, Anna. He couldn't help but let out a smile. And once again, he felt like his breath was taken away, as if her beauty was incompredendable & breathtaking. True enough, in his eyes, she is.

Tao slightly brushes away her bangs that covers her beautiful facial features : long eyelashes, plump peach lips with a slight reddish to it, turned-up nose shape, thick eyebrows, and lastly, her oval shaped face.

'Why are you so beautiful, angel? I can't help but let my heart beat for you and smile whenever I wake up to see your face. My angel. My precious angel. I love you. I love you so much that I think I could die in happiness. But I don't want to die just yet. I don't want to leave you. I won't. Not ever. I love you, my angel.', he speaks in his thoughts as he caressed her right cheek before lightly kissing her forehead. He lightly brought up the blanket  to cover her body so she won't get cold sleeping on the carpet floor. He adjust himself, cautiously not waking her up, before he lie his head on the pillow and continued gazing her. Suddenly, something hit him - his confession. His smiled upon remembering it.

| Flashback : |

Tao planned to finally confess to Anna. BUT, there's one problem - her brother. Half-brother. And his name is Park Jae Hyun.

Her brother had some suspicions that Tao is in love with his baby sister, but kept to himself. He wanted to test Tao if he was worthy for her. As much as he hated to admit it, Tao is worthy. Tao had treated his baby sister with love and care, and protection. And to make it worst, He sees that his baby sister, too, showed love for Tao. Great, he  grunted.

Today was his baby sister's birthday and just seeing his face, his face darken. BUT, it was a surprised to see Tao looking dazed or in deep thoughts.

While EXO, Tao's friends, was enjoying their time with his baby sister, Tao was out at the balcony in deep thoughts. Jaehyun quietly waltz to the balcony. He walked to Tao and patted his back. Tao jumped in surprised and looked at who it was and to his surprise it was her brother. Jaehyun just gazed out the city as Tao eyed him. Jaehyun suddenly spoke.

"So..... " Jaehyun started as he clasp his hand, bit his lower lip and nodded his head.

"So..... " Tao immitated. Jaehyun looked at Tao, then scoffed. He playfully punch Tao which Tao awkwardly laugh and rub his arm.

"I know you love her, Tao." Jaehyun spoke which surprised Tao. Tao's eyes widened as horror strucked him of what her brother will do to him after knowing he love his baby sister.

He knows?! How long has he known?!, he thought, still slightly shock. Jaehyun just laughed at Tao's expression.

"Lighten up Tao. I'm not gonna kill you, not yet." Jaehyun emphasized on the word 'yet'. Tao gulped down a lump on his throat, fear slowly taking over him.

"Besides, I've known you've been in love with her the moment she introduced you to me. Your eyes says it all. Your eyes would sparkle the moment you see her face." Jaehyun spoke. There was a paused.

"And how would you know?" Tao asked, finally having the courage. Jaehyun looked at Tao and smiled. Tao became nervous upon seeing his smile. Jaehyun chuckled before gazing back at the city. It was silent before he finally spoke.

"If you love someone, just say it. Don't keep in your heart. Never miss the chance to tell someone how you really feel about them because you may never get a second chance. Don't miss your chance like I missed mine." He said.

Jaehyun's eyes showed sadness and pain despite smiling. Tao softened by his words. Tao looked down at his shaking hands and asked, " what if... what if she doesn't feel the same way I do?". Jaehyun smiled.

"Don't worry. Trust me. She does." He spoke as he looked at Tao. Tao looked at Jaehyun, who is smiling.

"Without confidence you have nothing. Don't be afraid to take a chance if she is worth it." That was Jaehyun's last words before he patted Tao's shoulder and went back inside. Tao looked at Jaehyun before turning back gazing the city. He closed his eyes and breathed in the air before heavily exhaled. He has decided.

It was now 11.30 p.m. and everybody had fallen asleep, sprawled everywhere in the living room floor, except Tao, Anna, Jaehyun, Kris and Suho, who's still awake. Jaehyun, Kris and Suho was outside the balcony talking and drinking few cans of beer while Anna and Tao was inside, sitting in the living, looking at the three talking through the glass door. It was silent between the two but it was a nice kind of silence. Tao took peeked to his left and saw her peeking at him as well. The two quickly looked away, a slight tint of shade red on their cheeks. 

Tao suddenly stand up, causing Anna to jolt in surprise. Tao cleared his throat and stutteringly asked,"Wou-would y-you like to go out and take a breeze? I mean, take a walk?" Anna blinked a few times before slowly nodding.

Here they are, walking along the beach. They were happily chatting when Tao started teasing Anna and making fun of her. In the end, they end up tickling each other. Once they roll around laughing and holding each other whilst tickling each other. Suddenly, Tao pecked her lips. Before Anna had the time to resist, Tao quickly retrieved and continued tickling her some more. Once Tao stopped tickling her, Tao intently searched her eyes as she searched for his before Tao leaned in and kissed her. This time, he kissed her properly. Tao kept kissing her, escalating the interaction as much as he can. They stopped kissing as they try to grasped for air, panting, both gaze never leaving.

Suddenly, Anna asked,"Why? Wha- I- What are we? Why did you kissed me? Wha-?". There was so much she wanted to ask but couldn't voice it all out. Everything was so confusing for her. She love Tao but She was uncertain of what Tao felt towards her.

Out of the blue, Tao suddenly asked her a random question, "What's the date today?"

"Huh?" asked the confuse Anna.

"I asked, what's the date today?" Tao said.

"Today?" Anna asked, still slightly confused.

"Yes today, silly. So now, answer me." Tao chuckled then exclaimed.

"Today's 16th of Febuary. Why do you asked?" Anna innocently asked.

Tao grinned before happily answered,"Make a note in your calender next year today, as our anniversary." And Just like that, Tao wrapped up their little date by kissing her.

| End of flashback |

Have it not been your brother's help, I wouldn't had the courage to confess to you nor would I have the confidence to. I owe it to your brother, Anna. Thank you brother, he speaks in his thoughts before he once again leaned and kissed her temple and whispered to her ears :

“I love you.”
