As they strolled through the museum, Yuri couldn't help but marvel at Dongwook's enthusiasm for the exhibits. Though history had never been her passion, seeing the sparkle in his eyes as he explained each artifact made her heart flutter.

"That vase is an artifact?" Yuri asked as she pointed at a flower vase. Several golden linings glittered on the outlines of the vase.

"Yeah. These provide some insight on the craftsmanship and cultural practices of the olden periods." Dongwook explained, his footsteps slowly headed towards her before he stood right behind her.

Yuri could feel his minty breath on her hair from the proximity he created between them. When he took something out of his pocket and the next thing she knew, a cold metal touched her neck.

"What is this?" Yuri asked.

"A locket, can't you tell?" Dongwook tried his best to hide his nervousness behind his broken humour. He clasped the crystal locket around her neck.

"You made it into a..." she said as she looked at the reflection before them. It's that same crystal she chose before. She could see a crack in middle of it. She opened that and it was a picture of them.

It was probably a polaroid photo of their teenage days. Her heart fluttered when she looked at him. The way he looked at her, the way he gently held her shoulders. It was visible.

His admiration for her was glimmering in his eyes. It's not just about her physical appearance, although that undoubtedly captivated him; it's also about the essence of who she is.

If he loved her or not, he did not know.
But when the weight of the world seemed too much to bear, he would come to her, and suddenly, everything would feel right again, everything would feel home.

So was that what they call love?

"Sir." a faint voice tried to catch their attention, but they were too lost in each other's eyes. "Sir!" the man's tone turned a bit louder, causing them to nearly jump in their shoes.

"Y-yeah?" Dongwook asked.

"We will be closing soon, do you wish to stay a little longer?" the man said.

"No, not really. We'll be leaving" Yuri replied before he could. She grabbed her purse and grabbed his hand before giving the man a nod.

The feeling of her soft skin pressing against his was unexpected for him. But he liked it. It was something she did out of reflex, but that made all his reflexes become numb.

Yuri hastily let go of his wrist. "Uh...sorry." They both looked around to cut the awkwardness a little bit. She could feel her ears heating up at that little physical contact. After all, holding hands with your idol is not something you get to do everyday, right?

Dongwook placed his phone on his ear, trying to get his manager pick up. She could see a hint of annoyance in his face. Probably because it was almost night time and the car wasn't here yet.

He usually doesn't get like this, but he wanted everything to be perfect with her. He put his phone in his pocket as he ran a hand through his fluffy black hair.

"What's wrong?" Yuri tilted her head a bit in curiosity.

"The car isn't here yet. Beom should've at least reminded him." Dongwook said as he licked his lips a bit in nervousness.
