As I entered, I saw her hugging her legs and watching the night scenery from her bedroom’s window wall.

“You’re up?”

She looked at me and then returned to her usual pose.

“Wanna have a drink?”

“I’m hungry.”

“Come with me.”

“Where are we going?”

“I will cook for you.”

“What? Just order, we won’t be able to eat anything if you cook.”

“Ya, don’t you remember how tasty my fried rice was?”

“I was just being polite with you that day.”

I glared at her, and she let out a small smirk.

“Sit, and guide me where your utensils are.”

“Just order~” she whined.

“My food will recharge you up.”  

“Ugh…”

“Tie this up for me.” I put on the apron and went to her.

“Are you sure that we will be able to eat before the sun rise?”

“Hello? Mom?” I called then, “I want to make the easiest recipe for dinner, what do you have?”

I put her on speaker, “You’re cooking? Yeobo, did the sun rise today from the west?”

“Ugh umma!”

“Just order food, why are you tiring yourself when you can’t make something edible?”

Taeyeon laughed then.

“You’re with a girl? Why didn’t you tell me then? Ask her to cook then…”

“How are you ajumma?” Taeyeon leaned forward and greeted.

“Is that Taeyeonie?” she tone changed, “How are you my dear? Are you alright? We heard this morning-”

“Mom!” I stopped her.

“What should we do now? You can’t cook, and neither can she.”

“Is this the kids? Tell them to come and have dinner here.” my father voice was audible in the back.

“No, it’s a two hours going and coming back, and it’s late already.”

“Go to a near restaurant and have a meal together.”

When I thought of it again, I had an idea “Alright mom, I will call you later.”

“Bring Taeyeon home one day, we missed you little girl.”

“Sure mother.”

She looked at me, “Let’s just eat ramyun, or order from any restaurant.”

“Let’s go, I have a place that just fits us.”

“I don’t feel like it.”

“It’s not that far, you’ll feel better believe me.”

She put on her hoodie and we went to Han-river.

“There’s people out there.”

“Of course there will be people, since we are out.”

“Oppa, I don’t want to go.”

“I will order food from the drive thru, and then go to our secret place where there’s no one there.”

I went to Starbucks that was near there, and ordered us some coffee with around 4 to 5 sandwiches.

“Oppa…” she called while holding onto my jacket so tight that her knuckles turned yellow.

I observed around, to find that there was people passing beside Yongbae’s car that I borrowed since mine would stand out.

I turned at her to find that she was shivering with fear, I took her to my arms and held her tightly, “You’re fine.” I told her and caressed her back.

“Sir, your order is ready.” The employee called.

I pulled away, put her mask back on and took the order from him.

We went to our secret place at Han-river, where we used to hang out at the first days of our debut.

I opened the door for her and stretched my arm for her.

“Don’t worry there’s no one.”

She scanned the area, “Can’t we eat at my apartment?”

“Come over here,” I swiped her that she ended up in my arms, I looked down at her, “You’re with me so don’t be afraid.”

“Just at times like these, I wonder if I didn’t knew you, how I could’ve survived in this cruel world.”

“Why didn’t you try to be an actress? It suits you so well.”

She eyed me, “Let’s eat, I’m dying from hunger.”

We ate, chatted and made her laugh from time to time.

Then we went to the car and rested there for a while.

Taeyeon POV

I opened my eyes as I heard his voice calling for me.

“Yeon, Taeyeon-ah~”

“Uh?” I brushed my eyes.

“Let’s go, we’ll be late on our flight.”

“What flight? Where are we?”

“Come now…” he pulled me from the car, to be welcomed with the entrance of Incheon’s international airport.

“Where are we going to?”

“You will know soon.”

Then he unloaded some luggage from the trunk.

“Isn’t this my bag? How did you get it?”

“I packed it when you were sleeping at your place.”

“Ya! How did you pack those t-things!”

“What is wrong when it’s between us? Are you embarrassed after 10 years of being together?”

“B-But still, you’re a byuntae!”

“Ya, I saw you in them couple of times already!”

Jiyong POV

Her cheeks went on fire.

“Let’s go now.”

When she went to sleep, I packed her luggage, but without a destination.

“Where are we going?”

“I don’t know, so stop asking.”

“What? Then why are we here?” she looked at me, “Oppa, I don’t think I can escape and leave this matter here.”

“What will you do then? Read those hateful comments, and watch those stupid articles about the two of you?” I gave her a serious look, “I can’t stand that at all.”

“But still…”

“There’s no buts, come…”

“How I help you costumer?”

“What is the nearest flight you have now?”

“We have a flight that is boarding after 1 hour to Amsterdam.” She scrolled over the flights list, “The other flights are after 4 hours and above.”

“Alright we will have this one, two VIP seats please.”

“But sir, there’s no time for you to catch it, and the bags all got loaded to the airplane already.”

“We can, just please hurry and give us the tickets.”

“Alright, give me the passports please.”

“I didn’t bring mine!” Taeyeon realized.

“Here…” I gave her our passports.

As she got out identifications, she widen her eyes in a shock. “From here sir…” she had some sense that she took us to the VIP lounge where she took care of the paper work and all what we had to do is to wait for the boarding time.

“I will come back.” I told Taeyeon.

“Where are you going?”

“I will bring some coffee for us.”

“I will come with you-”

“Sir, here you go, these are the tickets, all you need is to log in your identification at the next stop and then wait for your flight.”

“Thank you.”

“T-Taeyeon unnie…” she called.

Taeyeon looked at her in surprise.

“I’ll always remain as your loyal fan.” She
