No Matter the Barrier

Chapter 10

The weeks flew by and before either of them knew it, Loup was waiting in the airport at three in the morning; waiting for Yongsung's plane to land.

When he finally saw the Asian male the amount of money he lost in caffeine was immediately erased.

Yongsung slowly got himself closer for an embrace, something that Loup allowed with little hesitation.  Loup allowed Yongsung to hug him for longer than the average time, and surprisingly his skin crawled less than normal.

Loup drove them back to his apartment, and they planned to go to the café later when it opened.

"So how was the flight?" Loup asked in Korean.

"It was horrible! There was a screaming child for the entirety of the flight and the person who was sitting next to me wouldn't stop complaining and when I tried to distract them from it by conversing with them they turned out to be a complete asshole! They started going off on all sorts of shit and they were super homophobic and racist! It was super awkward to sit with them as they started going off about how people from China need to stay in their own country and then they referred to Chinese as my people when my hood slipped off and they saw I was Asian.

They also said it was the same difference when I said I was Korean. The worst part is when I asked them where they were from, they said America! And they moved to France. So they're talking about how I need to stay in my own country when they dont even live where they were born! I have never been so relieved to be off a plane in my life! Yongsung ranted in French, having to look up many words before continuing his tangent.

"I'm sorry you had to deal with that asshole. I promise not all the people here are like that. I can also promise you none of my employees are like that," Loup sympathized.

"It's alright Loup. I cant wait to meet them," Yongsung replied with a reassuring smile.

"Yeah, they're all the closest thing I have to friends. We're close, but you're the only actual friend that I have," Loup replied bashfully.

"Same here Loup. Were best friend material!" Yongsung said, patting Loup's head before yawning. Loup pulled the car into park as he stopped in his parking spot.

"Do you want to bring all of your luggage up now or do it in the morning?" Loup asked.

"Can we just do it in the morning? I'll just bring my carry-on inside and we can go to sleep," Yongsung requested with an obviously fatigued expression.

"Alright, come on," Loup prompted as he got out of the car. Yongsung followed in a zombie-like state. It was obvious he had gotten no sleep and was exhausted.

They entered the apartment, and Yongsung looked around in curiosity. It seemed simple enough. There was a comfy-looking couch, a flat screen, and a maroon rug. They removed their shoes before walking in further. The whole place seemed to have a grey, black, and maroon color theme and Yongsung found himself liking it. The kitchen was a good size with new looking appliances. He saw a balcony and a bay window. There were many paintings that seemed to both match and fight the theme.

"Follow me," Loup requested. Yongsung obeyed and was led to a guest room. Inside was a full bed, grey paint, a black light fixture, and a maroon comforter. There were a few painting hanging up and a bookshelf. There was a window, closet, and a bathroom attached.

"That door is the bathroom you saw in the hallway. You just have your own personal entrance. You can put your things in the closet if you want. I don't ever have anybody over so you can basically make it yours," Loup told him. Yongsung thanked him and started getting ready after Loup left the room.

He finished and went out to the kitchen to see Loup making a kettle of tea. Loup glanced up at him when he was grabbing cups and tilted his head in silent question.

"Yes, please."

Loup grabbed another mug and set it on the marbled counter. When the kettle flicked its switch back up, Loup poured the water into the mugs and brought down the tea. He added their favorite to each respective mug before handing Yongsung's to him.

"Merci," Yongsung said in a teasing tone.

"Byeolmalsseum eul yo," Loup replied.

They drank their tea in a comfortable silence before bidding each other goodnight and going to sleep, finally allowing themselves to ready themselves for the next day to come.

Hey guys! Sorry this is kind of late in my time at least. I had loads of homework and then I had to deal with something and I got distracted. Anyway, this is the chapter. Only a few left! What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
