The time passes by and Chen and the other members are getting nervous as time ticks by
They needed to tell the truth
Xiumin needed to know the truth
But knowing that they'd lose a really good friend, wouldn't be so easy
Chen started regretting
Why did he even decide to get closer to the elder?
If he didn't, then he wouldn't have problems now
He wouldn't have problems in leaving
And wouldn't feel guilty
"Kris hyung.." Chen grunted and walked towards the older who had Tao on his lap and whispering sweet nothings in the other's ear
"Sup Chen?" Kris said and turned his attention to the worried and crestfallen Chen
"How am I going to tell him? This is even harder than I thought" Chen sadly said and took a seat beside the couple
"You knew this would happen.. yet you decided to befriend him.."
"I-I know.. and I regret it.. why did I even get closer to him? I should've just left him there.."
"But you did... And if you didn't.. then what do you think would happen to him? He'll be all alone.. without you and without us.. we wouldn't have experienced all of this if YOU didn't talk to him that day.." Tao said and gave him a comforting pat on the back
"So be happy, because you met him, and you met us, and you experienced all of those things, with him by your side"
Tao's encouraging words brought a small smile to the other
He was right
If he didn't meet Xiumin
Then what do you think would happen to the older and himself?
Probably all alone and wandering the streets of Seoul alone
He started to feel relieved and regret was slowly disappearing
He was THANKFUL that he met the older
The one who always brought a smile to his face and laughter from his mouth
The one who made him feel safe and calm
The one who made his heart skip a beat and his temperature rise
The one whom he loved
From such a short time
But what made him even more happy
Was that he could be with him for his remaining time left
And what made him even more sad
Was that he would leave the other
Soon
And he knows
That both of them would be affected
Especially Him

A few days passed by,
Christmas and New Year also passed by
And today was Kyungsoo and Kai's birthday party
January 13
The entire Exo spent the whole day together, and when night time came, they left the two for them to have their ALONE TIME
Xiumin and Chen walked down the cemented pathway, as they made their way to Minseok's home
They walked in silence, the cold wind of the night brushing past their skin leaving goosebumps
