❝Unforgettable Us❞

∞

7:06 pm 

"I'll see you tomorrow, hyung." 

Sehun bid goodnight to his manager; Kim Chang-Ho, and watched him driving away from his building that stood tall under the shade of dusk behind the chill of December, the coldest month of the year had knocked into the lives of the people with a reminder of the year bidding goodbye and among them were the familiar people around here. 

Sehun glanced at the sky engulfing the whole blue shade with a pinkish, and orange one like a grateful painting as he adjusted his mask over his nose to stroll through the building inside to find himself in the elevator that he had leaned back onto while pushing his mask down his chin since there were no people at the moment around him before fishing out his phone to check the messages from his doc-lady who was on her duty right now. 

The messages in their group chat filled with Jinsoo and Yoojung's praises for Maldives; the place of their honeymoon they had been back from a few days ago, and it's been almost two weeks to their marriage and all Sehun has been hearing about from Jinsoo is how amazing it is to be married to the love of his life, and how different bond it forms between the two of them. 

Sehun couldn't relate yet could understand it, his bond with Inha had been deepening more as the time was passing; it was getting strong, and secure, and he didn't wish to have it another way but maybe, there'd be a time he'd want it in other ways but at the moment, he didn't want to rush things between them as it has been going in a good pace and he was sure Inha would have it that way too. 

Nevertheless, he was happy for Jinsoo and Yoojung; the happiness that they deserve and he prayed for it to stay that way. 

And something told him that it would. 

The second he had walked out of the elevator on his floor, his phone rang with the man he had been thinking about a second back, as Sehun couldn't help but chuckle at his timing as he his lips while answering his phone. 

"Yeah?" 

"What, yeah?" Jinsoo mused, and Sehun could picture his confused look, "Jinsoo, spill it out already." 

"This punk has no patience." 

"I'm tired." 

"You can't get tired already because we have a place to be at together." 

Sehun frowned, his steps pacing down the hallway to his place while adapting Jinsoo's words into his mind to crease his forehead in a realization. "Oh, right, it's Ah-Young's movie premiere tonight." 

"Thank goodness you didn't forget." 

Sehun rolled his eyes. "I'm sure Yoo has been reminding you." 

"Same thing, but since we're leaving together so don't you both dare get late on my watch." 

Sehun hummed. "How about we jump together from the balcony to your car?" 

"If you can make it quick." 

"Bastard." 

Jinsoo chuckled, and Sehun hung up the call as he fished his phone back into his pocket, before pressing the password while recalling Inha's message of reaching after him so he could wait for her while washing up and drain his tiredness away but the fully recharge was just his Baek Inha. 

And he suddenly wanted to see her; again. 

"Yah, Oh Sehun." 

"What," 

He mumbled, out of his habit but halted at her voice the second he had heard it after walking in as his rounded eyes stared ahead only to find his Inha jogging to him in a quick pace with a smile and the next moment, he found her nearing his figure with a little jump and he was quick to hold her by the back of her thighs like her legs locked around his waist and her arms around his neck. 

"Baek Inha." 

He breathed out, softly as his round eyes bored into her soft happy ones like the smile dancing on her lips before he felt her leaning in with a press of her warm lips on his forehead to meet her eyes again as she took off his mask completely. 

"Welcome home." 

Sehun had to take a moment to not to slip down as the words of her welcoming him home felt like a warm feeling of being home and indeed, his home was smiling at him beautifully in his arms as he nodded, his lips kissing her forehead just between her eyebrows. 

"Yeah, I'm home." 

The next second, Inha found him walking further inside still carrying her in his hold like always for her to snuggle into his neck for a hug as he stopped for a few seconds to take off his shoes to change into his slippers while smiling at her actions. "I thought you were coming after me, doc-lady." 

"You aren't the only one who knows how to surprise, celeb."

Inha leaned back with her smug grin, as she speak up further about her whole day and how she got to leave earlier than expected, while Sehun listened to his chatterbox with his all ears while his eyes noticing the way she was dressed into his black shirt, and her loose pajamas; her hair damp as if she had just showered since he could see the few droplets of water through her neck, but the sight of her appeared alluringly tempting. 

The sight where he just wanted to stare and hold her in his arms closer. 

Oh, and he loved when she smelled like him but more enchanting. 

"So, we gotta hurry and get ready," 

Inha had her words subsided the second she felt his lips pressed against hers in a soft peck but enough for her breath to hitched as her eyes rounded with a thudding warmth before he leaned back a bit; his lips still in a brush against hers as he mumbled through in a whisper. 

"You had hot chocolate?" 

Inha slightly leaned back to answer. "Yeah," 

He interrupted again, as his head tilted and his lips had captured hers again but this time in a deep one and her eyes closed to tighten her hold around him while Sehun took his steps further inside carefully where Inha could feel the pacing of his heartbeat against her in a sync as their moment got deeper than it should be right now. 

She should be stopping him but oh, damn, his drowning her in kisses were to be blamed. 

Her fingers brushed through his hair behind his nape in a clutch to feel him sitting on the couch of the living room with her on his lap as Sehun leaned back with his heaved up self to feel her quickened heartbeat against him as he opened his eyes to find her cheeks in a shade of crimson; her eyes in a glow of something he adored like a beautiful sight and he couldn't help but run his fingers through her hair to the back of her head to pull her closer. 

Before Inha could have stopped him, his lips met hers in a warm kiss again, letting her mind in a fuzziness as her other hand slide to hold the collar of his thick jacket with a warm flush to her system at his thumb caressing her skin to her jawline down her earlobe softly before feeling his cold fingers slightly brushing the skin through her waist. 

And she had to lean back with a startling gasp abruptly to find him staring back at her closer but confusingly. "What's wrong?" 

Inha frowned. "Your hands are cold." 

Sehun's forehead creased, and his eyes glanced at her waist that he had been holding to meet her eyes with amusement, and his lips curved in a playful smirk as he nuzzled his nose through hers. "And you're warm." 

Inha let out a yelp the second she felt his fingers tickling her waist as she let out a soft laugh while turning her head to the side as she tried to push his hands off but felt his soft giggles to her ear like he had nuzzled his nose through her damp hair to feel him kissing her jawline softly but in a way Inha had to lean away. 

"Not right now." 

His lips slightly puckered. "And why not?" 

Inha tilted her head, feeling dumbfounded at the sudden change of his behavior turning into a cute one so unlike a second earlier one before she wounded her arms around his neck. "We have to go to Ah-Young's movie premiere, Jinsoo and Yoojung will pick us up in an hour so we better get ready because I don't want to be teased again like last time." 

Sehun remembered that night well enough as Jinsoo and Yoojung had prepared a little gathering for the gang of friends after they were back from their honeymoon but they had arrived late; it was Inha's little teasing but had him not backing out like himself that had them go down all the way with their love and got an earful of teasing from their friends. 

"You picked a fight with me, doc-lady." 

Inha raised her eyebrows. "As if you had backed out, jerk." 

She felt him pulling her closer for her to stretch her arms around his neck so her upper arms were resting on his shoulders where Sehun leaned his forehead against hers as his eyes closed like hers. 

"It had my advantage." 

Her cheeks flushed more. "Cheapester." 

"I know." 

"You should get a warm shower now." 

He hummed, caressing her back now. "Wanna join me?" 

"No can do," Inha leaned back to meet his eyes; adoring her but done at the moment as she chuckled, squishing his cheeks as he spoke through his muffled words. "At least, give me a recharge, Baek Inha." 

Inha let out a chuckle. "Am I your charger?" 

"My human charger." 

"Alright," Her lips smiled softly. "I'll do it for you." 

The next moment, she had wrapped her arms around his neck like her chin rested on his shoulder where Sehun had tightened his hold around her waist as he buried his face into the curve of her neck in a warm embrace of hers like she had gotten her recharge from his warm embrace. 

The one that was their own kind of thing; just theirs.

"Oh, it's snowing outside." 

Inha mused, standing in her black turtleneck tucked in her blue jeans while seated on the couch of the living room as she zipped up her black ankle-length boots to stand up before walking to the glass window; the city lights had displayed like a fascinating glow in her eyes seeping the same sparkle in her gaze behind the white snowflakes pouring in a rushing manner but enchanting enough as her palms leaned on the glass to stare at the sight for a few minutes with a smile. 

"No matter how much I look at this, it's really not enough." 

She heard the familiar footfalls approaching her to feel the warm material of her black tweed jacket around her shoulders as Inha was quick to slid her arms through the sleeves before turning around to look at her jerk of a man; his figure towering over her in his attired self of a navy blue knitted shirt tucked in his black pants accentuated with a navy shade of a thick jacket while his hair in a soft brush on his forehead. 

Too much of a hot piece that she couldn't take her eyes off her man. 

Inha had to let her lips curve in a soft smile at his doings of twinning with her again as her eyes stared at him softly with an adoration while he was busy fixing her collar after tucking her open hair out of it with a gentle caress before feeling her hands being in his hold with a warm material being wrapped around her hands as she looked down to find her hands under the gloves. 

"It's snowing outside." 

Sehun mumbled, taking a few steps back to grab the muffler from the armchair of the couch to stand in front of her with his stifling laugh the second she had gave him her gaped look where Inha found herself in a wrap of muffler feeling like a snowball at the moment and his foolish grin at the moment was making her explode. 

"Have you lost it, Oh Sehun?" 

Sehun chuckled, reaching out to squish her cheeks. "We can't let you catch a cold, Baek Inha." 

"So, do I have to go like a snow-bear?" 

"You're huggable like my gummy bear." 

He giggled, and wrapped her arms around her in a tight hug as he snuggled into the warm muffler before listening to her muffled words through his ears. "I'm going to make you my punching bag right now, jerk." 

"You'll be my dumbbell before that." 

Inha couldn't even react to his words as had let out a squeal the moment he had wrapped his arms around her waist and under her knees with a quick lift of her figure against him where she was quick to hold his neck as he walked to the front door. 

"Yoojung and Jinsoo are waiting downstairs." 

"I'm really going to make you my punching bag tonight." 

"I'll let you do that for as long as you want to." 

"This cheeky jerk!" 

Inha slapped his shoulder while Sehun had let his laugh beam inside the home of theirs; the one with the wall of their taken pictures of their memories like they had been making it right now and like Inha had glanced at it with a warm feeling to hold her home more in her embrace till their figures were out of the place only to be back here. 

Right in the embrace of their home. 

The next thing they were standing in the elevator with Inha being Sehun's grumbling bear to scoot away from him only for Sehun to grab her jacket with a pull towards him as he let his arm rest on the handrail for her back to lean against it with her arms to herself for not letting him hold her hand since he was still grinning like a fool enjoying a circus show in a theme park. 

Jerk. 

The elevator stopped at a floor as a few people walked in; Inha straightened up pulling her muffler to her nose while Sehun rolled his eyes as if they haven't been on dates outside without hiding themselves before glancing at the people who recognized them the second they had walked in but were being generous enough to act ignorant about it and he looked at Inha to find her eyes looking at the numbers of the floor patiently while her hands drumming to her elbows in her own accord of a habit. 

He smiled softly; something really hadn't changed. 

Inha slightly flinched the second she felt his arm behind her back lifting up that grazed her back to feel his fingers crawling from the small of her back trailing up slowly but enough for her to feel warmth before his fingers brushed through her hair to her ear as a sudden chill ran through her to feel him tucking her hair out from the muffler while sneakily caressing her skin down her earlobe and Inha was quick to push his hand away gently but her eyes glancing at his grinning face were definitely not gentle. 

Yet her jerk of a man gave his triumphant smile. 

Inha scooted a bit aside for Sehun to get closer only and the second she had sighed deeply at his doings thudding her heart rapidly, his fingers had brushed her cheek softly as he tucked the strands of her hair behind for him to lean in and pressed his lips on her warm cheekbone in a swift, Inha had to cup from gasping out loud before pushing him away from his shoulder. 

And Sehun felt a bump on his shoe from her along with a glare; her eyes gesturing him to stop his doings yet the man was enjoying being sneaky and he wasn't the only one since she was hiding her smile and he was right the second she poked his waist as he flinched to have her giggle silently where Inha felt his hand grabbing her gloved one for a warm hold with his arm around her neck with a closer pull to his side. 

She met his playful yet soft eyes with a smile that had her lips smile back to punch his stomach lightly and he shot her a narrowed look for her to hide her giggling mess with a swift pull of the muffler to her face and Sehun had to hold back his laughter. 

They sure loved being sneaky like idiots yet much in love. 

The next thing they were walking outside the building; the snowfall was pouring rapidly like a foggy sight but colder than before where the warm hold of their hands had made it bearable to walk to the familiar car where Sehun had opened the backdoor of it for Inha to get inside with him following suit while closing the door. 

"Goofball, what are you supposed to be right now?" 

Jinsoo seated on the driving seat had looked over his shoulder with his stifling laughing face while his hand on the steering that displayed his silver ring of their wedding along with Yoojung's who turned her torso slightly to look at her with a confused look. 

"Are you that cold, Inha?" 

"This is all because of this jerk!" 

Inha was quick to punch Sehun's shoulder who had been holding his laugh but it echoed after the punch as he leaned back joining his hands together while Jinsoo's laugh emerged with his as he pulled Inha's muffler who slapped his hands off along with Yoojung smiling at her with a pull of her cheek. 

"You look adorable." 

"I should call you snowball instead of goofball." 

"And I should stitch both of your mouths." 

Inha glared at the two men having their laughter as they high-fived together with Yoojung shushing them while Inha leaned back while taking off her muffler with a grumpy look before throwing it towards Sehun who had calmed down as he attempted to wrap it back around her neck only for to back away. 

"I'm not wearing it anymore."

"It's cold." 

"I feel fantastic." 

"And you'll catch a cold fantastically later." 

"And I'm a bloo-" 

Inha stopped her words as he had completed it in a mouthing way but more exaggerated as she pushed him away to lean forward to Yoojung with a pout where Yoojung giggled, patting her cheek where Sehun rolled his eyes pulling his dramatic woman back with Jinsoo starting the car with a chuckle. 

The drive continued with their little chatters of reaching on the time for the premiere of Ah-Young's new movie; the one she had finished shooting at the end of the November as after the wedding of theirs, Mingyu and Ah-Young's dating phase had begun with a secret to the world, but open to the gang of friends that came with a risk of getting in the eyes of public but like their risk of being together followed by their hearts, they had decided to face it together too. 

Things had been going smoothly like the passing time of the year that was going to end in a few days with a knock of new things to look forward to; like the warmth of the snowfall through the windscreen, and like the nonsense chatters of the squad of four had continued to forward ahead for their lifetime.

8:32 pm 

"We'll fetch some popcorn and drinks, celebrities should go inside." 

Jinsoo grinned at Inha and Sehun's done look at him, as he grabbed his wife, Yoojung's hand into his gentle grasp where Inha and Sehun watched the newly married couple's backs retreating from their sights while both of them continued to walk to the theater hall, Inha had her hand in Sehun's warm grasp with their steps in a slow pace since the movie had thirty minutes more to begin. 

The people around them had gathered around since Ah-Young was a known celebrity so it was evident, but right now, another celebrity had been walking among them who hardly gave any attention to but the one realizing it had did it, as Inha's hand squeezed a bit onto Sehun's the second she realized that her man was a celebrity as well, since she doesn't treat him like one but that was theirs phase to be talked about. 

She was proud of him, and right now, their relationship was in the eyes of the public to be stared at and she felt herself being pulled closer to his side as if he had noticed it to calm her running thoughts.

Her eyes met his soft reassuring ones; the mask still covering his half face but she could picture the soft curve of his lips; she could tell, and it was enough for her lips to smile at him. 

Yet, at the moment, Inha's mind had crossed a past moment of theirs; the one where she had almost met him, the one where Sehun had walked past her on the very evening of the familiar situation and right now, the situation was same again, but difference was they were walking down the path together with their hands grasped together now. 

"Does it remind you of something?" 

She heard him whispering as Sehun leaned over but because of the murmurs around them, she couldn't hear him. "What?" 

Sehun looked around and Inha felt herself being walked alongside him to the other side since the rush was getting more for them to get almost crushed by it, and the next moment, she found herself being leaned against a wall with Sehun beside her as they looked at each other to giggle together where he leaned his shoulder on the wall facing her while pulling his mask down. 

"I got reminded of the time I heard your name here for the first time again." 

Sehun mused, his head tilted as he bored his eyes into hers softly as that moment had played in his head, and Inha nodded, her eyes slightly rounded at how both of them had been thinking the same thing but then again, it has always been like that, before she imitated his posture to face him with a smile. 

"I also got reminded of the same thing." 

"And we're here like this now." 

He reached out, bringing their hands up in a hold for him to kiss the back of her fingers down her knuckles softly as his eyes closed at the moment where her heart warmed yet again with a smile. 

"We're going to get late." 

Sehun nodded, not before making a face as he leaned over placing his palm beside her head for Inha to lean her back against her wall nonchalantly as Sehun tilted his head to peek through to find the people walking inside the hall where he spotted Si-woo and Soomin together along with Yoojung and Jinsoo with the popcorn and drinks and behind him was standing Mingyu with a bouquet of flowers. 

"Let's go." 

Sehun mumbled, looking back at Inha to find her already looking at him as their eyes met in an intent bore of their gaze and his ears warmed at her unwavering stare behind the adoration. 

"Don't give me that wild look, Inha." 

Inha tilted her head, reaching out to fiddle with his collar with a smile. "And if I do, Sehun?" 

"Shut up, doc-lady." 

He was quick to hold her hand with her smiling at his flustered look. "Okay, celeb." 

The next moment, their steps had walked to the theater hall to stop outside the door after everyone had walked inside since the movie was about to begin; Yoojung and Jinsoo had been talking to Soomin and Si-woo while Mingyu was scrolling through his phone probably texting Ah-Young. 

"Someone has come prepared." 

Inha commented, making an impressive face towards him with the latter rolling his eyes before glancing at between the two. "Isn't it better than sneaking around?" 

"They won't leave this place either." 

Jinsoo sighed, shaking his head while handing them their drinks and Sehun scoffed. "Why are you so jealous?" 

"Are we going to watch this movie?" Si-woo questioned at the beginning of the bickering and Soomin shook her head, "I'd rather not." 

"Why are you all still outside?" 

Everyone turned to the familiar voice to find Ah-Young walking in her formal attire with a smile towards them but more soft towards the man standing for her with a bouquet and a soft smile as Ah-Young stopped in front of Mingyu; her boyfriend. 

"This is for you," Mingyu held out the bouquet for her with a smile, and Ah-Young smiled, her cheeks warm with a blush as she grabbed it in her hold. "Thank you." 

"Are you both rubbing it on our face that you're dating now?" 

And it had to be Jinsoo with a grimacing face as if he hadn't been flaunting his newly wed life among the people here; Yoojung linked her arm around his to smile at Ah-Young. "We'll be going inside, and watch your movie well, and good luck, Ah-Young." 

Ah-Young nodded. "Thanks!" 

The wedded couple had left inside followed by Soomin and Si-woo after their good luck wishes to Ah-Young where Sehun and Inha stood for a moment because Inha was stopping him from drinking the soft drink that he had been sipping as it was almost half already before snatching it away leaving him with a frown that she ignored wisely. 

"We can't watch your mush-mush too much, so have a good time and don't forget that you have a movie to watch," Inha paused, giving a look at Mingyu who had his eyes narrowed while Ah-Young blushed, and before Inha could have blabber more, Sehun had pa
