Airplanes departing synchronically won’t be something new for Lucas and Yuqi

 

It has occurred before and will occur again later today. Only this time, they’ll fly in parallel switching destination instead of going to one

 

The limited time given to communicate before Lucas’s turn to be busy steps foot in the picture drifts his inner being to try influence Yuqi on to temporarily forget their agreement

 

Luclint : We’ll be hustling and bustling half of the month

 

Every effort Lucas threw fails. Yuqi prefers to keep things the way they are and even took the years where mobiles technology has not yet existed as an example of motivation

 

Yucisha : Trust the process

 

The word trust somehow spurs Lucas back to memory lane when he and Yeseo had a brief conversation that Yuqi isn’t aware of yet

 

Should I?, Lucas’s mind ponders, maybe it’s some kind of a sign to come forward and not put it on hold any longer

Yuqi POV’s

 

It hasn’t been that long I sat when an incoming video call from Lucas shows up on my screen phone

 

I’m able to thoughtlessly accept the call without having any concerns I might get caught with whom I will be talking to because the wall behind me blocks the view to my phone and noone is close enough to eavesdrop besides manager oppa

 

The pair of airpods I got on secure the ambiance even more

 

I said my hello as his face appears on screen and he greeted me back asking if it’ll be alright to straight up talk about something that he has in mind

 

We only got 3 hours left before both of our flight number gets called to board, he said

 

“Sure”, I allow him to and quite staggered hearing Yeseo’s name being brought up because it’s been a while since the last time I heard it

 

But knowing the two participated in the same music show twice, I’ve grasped the likelihood of them talk can potentially takes place

 

My only question for him at the moment is, “Why must you feel the need to wait to tell me this?”

 

You got a lot going on your plate, he summarizes my activities in the past few weeks. Queendom finale preparation is the main reason for his decision, Win ge did said the issue won’t provoke your mood and I was thinking too deeply

 

“It’s not like you two kissed”, I banter approving Winwin’s ge response on the night he confides the matter to him, but at the same time I’m moved by the consideration of my feelings he thought of, “Thank you”, I exclaimed 

 

He continue the story because there was more to it and how astonish I was hearkening Yeseo offer a handshake of friendship but had an ancient polaroid of them both slipped in the album that intended to be given to him, “Just when I was about to give her a pass”

 

He clearly disfavor if I did, you don’t really believe she wants to be friends right?

 

Our video call had to end as soon as the announcement that all passengers needed to standby to board been made

 

He tries one last shot changing my mind regards the agreement but I turned it down again

 

In exchange, I made a promise to video call him before his departure flight to the U.S, according to his time of hour preference for every of our last call routine if one of us are going overseas

Yuqi kept the promise she made

 

First thing standing out when each of their faces shows up on screen is Lucas’s color hair that has turned into contrast blue. She can clearly see the color though it tries to be hidden underneath the cap he’s wearing

 

Yuqi is stupefied because it’s something not foreseeable. But after being virtual introduced to Kai without notice and see he got a blue hair as well raises assumption Lucas might’ve got the inspiration from there 

 

Lucas excuses himself from the others to go somewhere more private in the waiting lounge

 

Sensing Yuqi wasn’t too fond discovering the changes in his hair, he instantaneously apologize, you hate it?, him lowering the cap

 

“No”, Yuqi explains it too suddenly and Lucas didn’t speak about it days before, “I don’t hate it. Just need time adjusting my eyes looking at it”

 

Lucas chortle saying, it’s one of those spontaneous rush, think later act, jesting he prefers the process getting tattoo more than getting bleached for hours 

 

Out of curiosity Yuqi asked, “Why? Aren’t both unpleasant in their own way?”

 

The neck doesn’t go all stiff waking up, Lucas defines most of the tattoo shops provides chairs like they have in spa’s supporting the customers comfort to make the body feel relaxed and not tense when the needles permanently paint on their body

 

“How can anyone fall asleep from the buzzing sound of a needle running, penetrate their upper skin causing pain? They have to be too boozed up when entering the shop to do so”, said Yuqi, “Movies. Mostly comedies”, explaining how she came up with such analysis

 

The laughter that’s heard and a smile radiating from afar, drew Taemin’s attention to Lucas. Him comprehension the beauty of love blossoming in a age where Lucas is currently at, reminiscence some moments in his life

 

The daydream fades as Baekhyun abrupt with a random question making Taemin head turn to him, “Do you think he can remain loyal?”, supposing the real test to the relationship is when Lucas ity is taken

 

Kai who is sitting next to them can’t help to not jump in to tease Baekhyun, “Don’t pessimistically speculate Lucas’s relationship will undergo a turbulence based off your own experience, hyung”

 

“You and I know love and lust aren’t one piece. It’s two disparate intimacy”, Baekhyun smirks cunningly, turning his focus back to Taemin, “Am I not wrong?”

 

“We all were in our early 20’s. Underwent the naughty phase. But through the phase my heart actually stayed hooked to one girl. Hooked but screwed up. Once”, Taemin chuckles, “As long as the amount of love Lucas got for Yuqi deeper than the lust running inside, any kinds of temptation to screw up can be avoidable”

 

Hearing flight KE31 being announced through the speaker phone will be boarding soon, the remaining time turns to minute for Lucas and Yuqi to satiate the video call

 

Teasing to repudiate on hanging up, Yuqi enhearten Lucas to not count the days passing and enjoy working, “It’ll be over before you know it”

 

Be good, Ok?, said Lucas fondly

 

“I should be the one to say it”, cackles Yuqi

 

Bye Yuci. I’ll miss you

 

“I’ll miss y
