Stay Close, Don't Go

Suzy and Sehun arrived at the studio.

Sehun picked up his laptop and gave it to Suzy.

“I’ll just go get something to drink.” Sehun told her and walked out of the room.

The computer and Suzy saw that its password protected.

She was going to wait for Sehun to come back but then remembered something.

 

                “Suzy ya! What’s a good password?” The 13 year old Sehun asked Suzy.

                “For what?” The 13 year old Suzy asked.

                “For my laptop. I want to put a password so no one can see what’s inside.” Sehun answered.

                “Why are you asking me then? If you don’t want anybody to know it.” Suzy pointed out.

                Sehun grinned up at her and said, “You’re an exception. Since you’re special to me.”

                Suzy blushed.

                “Ohhhh!” Sehun exclaimed and started typing on his laptop.

                “What did you type?” Suzy asked and sat beside Sehun.

                “Your birthday. It’s my password.” Sehun proudly told Suzy.

 

Suzy smiled at the memory. She entered her birthday and it worked.

Sehun walked in carrying 2 yogurt milk.

“You still use the same thing.” Suzy pointed out as he sat down.

“It’s special.” Sehun uttered and gave Suzy the milk.

Suzy took it and gave the latter a smile and Sehun smiled back.

 

The two of them started searching for places where they can go around Seoul.

“Should we go to Namdaemun? I heard they have a lot of food stalls there.” Sehun suggested.

Suzy laughed and said, “Where not going there to eat, you know.”

Sehun grinned and said, “Teacher Key said to experience the place and that includes experiencing the food too.”

“Alright, then let’s go there. The Namdaemun Gate is also there so we can make that as our 2nd place.” Suzy told him.

Sehun nodded and walked towards the stereo.

He looked back at Suzy and asked, “Is it okay if I play something?”

Suzy nodded.

Sehun pressed play and sat back down beside Suzy.

 

“Are you really not going to apply to Julliard?” Suzy suddenly asked.

“Does it matter?” Sehun asked.

“It’s your dream to stand on stage.” Suzy pointed out.

“It’s your dream too.” Sehun countered.

“That dream, it’s so far away now.” Suzy told him.

“But for you, it’s not. You can still stand on stage.” She added.

“But that stage, I want to stand there with you.” Sehun told her.

Suzy looked at Sehun through the mirrors in front of them and honestly said, “I can’t stand on stage with you but I’ll be watching. Seeing you shining brightly on that stage, it’s as if my dream also came true.”

Sehun didn’t say anything and just looked at Suzy through the mirrors.

They stayed like that, staring at each other through the mirrors with “Certain Hurt Fluttering” by Ra.D playing on the background.

 

Later that day, Suzy received a phone call from Myungsoo.

“Princess.” Myungsoo greeted.

“Oppa.” Suzy greeted back.

“I’ll be going to China till Friday. I just wanted to tell you.” Myungsoo announced.

“Okay. I’ll see you when you get back then?” Suzy asked.

“Yeah.” Myungsoo replied.

“And Suzy, while I’m gone.” Myungsoo added.

Suzy heard the hesitation on Myungsoo’s voice.

“What is it Oppa?” Suzy asked.

“Please, don’t forget about me.” Myungsoo finally uttered. “I’m hanging up.”

Suzy looked out her window towards the night sky that somehow reminds him of Myungsoo.

 

Sehun was lying on his bed, thinking about what Suzy told him.

After she said that, the two of them just stared at each other until the school bell for the last class rang and they went to their separate ways.

He was playing back what Suzy said when his phone rang. He looked at the caller and sighed.

“Naeun ah.” Sehun greeted.

“Sehun ah, can you come here? I want to see you.” Naeun cried.

“Did something happen?” Sehun worriedly asked.

“I just want to see you.” Naeun told him.

Sehun ran his hand through his hair and said, “You can’t keep doing this, Naeun.”

Sehun didn’t hear a reply but heard silent sobs from the other line instead.

“I just want to see you! You’ve been ignoring me for a while now!” Naeun sobbingly said.

Sehun sighed and said, “I’ll drop by tomorrow so stop crying. I’m hanging up.”

Sehun hanged up and thought, You can’t keep doing this, Oh Sehun.

Naeun wiped her tears and smiled. “You are too easy Sehun ah.”
