'God, this is confusing.' Was the only thing I could think of as I walked around the grocery store, unable to nor understand most of the signs hanging from the ceiling.
'I should've just went to a restaurant, it's not like people recognize me here.' I thought to myself in regret as I walked further.
Just when I was about to return to the exit without anything to actually buy, a small hand tapped onto my back.
I turned around to see a small girl, around the age of five, looking up at me with tears glinstering in her eyes. "C-Can you help me?" She asked me in English.
I looked around with a confused expression as I tried to understand what she had said. I crouched down to her eye level so it wouldn't be even harder to catch up.
"Why- are you crying?" I asked the little girl with a hardly understandable accent. She furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at me with a confused expression. Did I say something wrong?
"My m-mommy." She blurted out between tears falling down her cheeks.
"Hey, hey, hey.. don't cry." I said after I finally understood what was wrong with her, whipping her tears away with my thumbs.
I held out my hand for the lost girl to grab, making her instantly grab onto it as she held it tightly.
We wandered around the store for a while, mostly because I was trying to find the information desk, while the small girl tightly held onto my hand.
I then finally found the counter as I already noticed a young woman standing next to it with a worried expression. Her eyes then landed on the two of us as she immediately came hurrying up to us, making the small girl let go of my hand and hurry up to her mother as well.
The woman hugged onto her kid as I slowly walked up to them. Just when the mother noticed me, she pulled out of the hug with her daughter as she stood up from her crouched position.
"Thank you so much!" She said with a genuine smile as the girl hugged onto her mother's leg.
"It's okay." I answered with a cracked accent and a smile while bowing my head, only to remember they didn't do that here, so I stopped midway which made the woman chuckle.
The girl then let go of her mother's leg as she ran back to me, wrapping her small arms around my legs as she hugged me with full force.
"Thank you!" She thanked me as I chuckled, awkwardly returning the hug.

Fruits, vegetables, meats, bread, snacks and don't forget to buy some drinks.
It was almost evening as I was walking around the grocery store, trying to find the right products for the night. It was confusing since the supermarket was different from the one I was used to. But either way I continued trying to finish this as fast as possible so I could go back home and eat.
Just when I had finished paying for my purchases, I noticed a familiar figure standing in front of the information desk with a mother and child.
I watched the three communicate as I noticed the familiar person being Changbin. I slightly panicked at first, but couldn't help but smile as the small girl hugged onto him.
I saw Changbin's face go soft at watching the girl speak, a sight I never got to see before.
Just when I had lost myself in staring at the two, Changbin turned his gaze towards me as he widened his eyes.
"Felix!" He called for my name as he waved.
Oh.. shit.
I wanted to run out of the place, but I hadn't packed my groceries yet and was forced to either leave them here or accept my fate.
'These cost me too much.' I thought as I gave up, starting to avoid the situation as I just silently packed my groceries.
Changbin had already came up to me as he stood beside me. "Hey." He spoke up as he smiled brightly.
I didn't respond to him as I acted like he wasn't there, fully focusing myself on packing up as quickly as possible.
"Funny.. how coincidence brings us together." He started talking as I finished packing, grabbing onto my bag and starting to walk away from him.
"Let me carry these." Changbin then said as he hurried after me, grabbing the bag full groceries out of my hands.
I sighed. "Changbin, give those back please." I spoke up, but he denied the idea as he remained walking besides me.
Great.
"Where's your car?" Changbin asked as he looked around the parking lot.
"Don't have one." Was the only thing I mumbled as I had gave up in trying to get away from him, about to walk down the street.
"Really? Well then let's use mine. I'll bring you home safely." He offered as he grabbed onto my hand with his free one.
I just kept myself silent as I let myself be pulled along with him, might as well take advantage of the situation and let him drive me home.
We then arrived to his expensive rental car as Changbin opened the tailgate, placing the groceries in the back of his car. "Go sit down." He said as I just obeyed whatever he said and opened the door to the passengerseat.
After sitting down Changbin soon after joined as he sat down in the drivers-seat. He pulled the handbrake up and drove off.
The whole ride was uncomfortable and in silence as Changbin's gaze was focused on the signs and road. I totally forgot to tell him how had to drive from here, but he probably already knew since he confidently drove further.
I noticed a street we had to drive into to get to my apartment building, but Changbin drove past it without even looking back once.
"Uhm Changbin, we need to go in there." I disturbed the silence as I noticed a teasing grin on his face after averting my gaze towards him.
"Oh I know." He confidently answered as he continued driving in the same direction.
"Changbin, where are we going, let me out." I demanded for him to stop, but he wouldn't even budge a slight bit.
A minute had passed and Changbin still hadn't stopped the car. I was impatiently waiting for a traffic light to go on red so I could step out, but the world seemed to be working against me.
Changbin then noticed something as he immediately took the exit to it. I watched where he was going and then noticed a huge park packed with couples on blankets, all looking towards a certain led-screen.
An open air cinema.
Changbin drove down to the parking lot and soon after parked his car in one of the empty spaces. He stepped out of the car as I remained inside with my arms crossed.
I waited for a minute until I decided to look around, Changbin nowhere to be seen. 'Did he just leave me here?' I asked myself as I curiously looked out of the window.
I looked to the other side until the door suddenly opened, making me get startled. My eyes were met with Changbin holding a newly bought blanket underneath his arm as both of his hands were holding onto drinks and food.
"You coming?" He asked me with a genuine smile as I couldn't help but slightly blush at the action.
I just decided to get out as I didn't have any other choice than going with him. We walked around the field as Changbin soon after found a place to sit down, spreading his blanket out as he motioned for me to sit down.
I did as he asked as I sat down beside him, grabbing one of the drinks as I watched to big screen while taking a sip.
We had sat there for a while in silence, me being completely focused on the movie while finished my meal, as I suddenly heard Changbin groan. I turned my gaze towards him only to see him watch the screen with a confused expression.
I chuckled. "Need subtitles?" I asked him as he immediately turned to me. "No, no.. I'm good." He answered as he straightened his posture.
This made me chuckle once again as Changbin smiled back towards me. "Changbin?" I spoke up once again as he nodded for me to go on. "Why me?"
"Hmm?" He asked in confusion as he came a little closer, just so he could hear better.
"Why would you come back for me? It's been two years and you still haven't forgotten about me." I explained as he looked down to the blanket.
"Did you forget about me?" He asked in return. "No, of course.. not." I started but mumbled the last part. "Exactly." He answered with a nod as he looked back to the screen.
"You know, Felix. I also would've never thought that I would actually fall for you back then. But here I am... still in love with you." He told me as he gently grabbed onto my hand intertwined our fingers.
I looked him into his eyes as I admired the way the screen's light made his eyes shine like the night sky. "And I was too dumb to consider keeping you for myself." He said as his face started to inch closer to mine.
"But now I know what I need... and that's you." He lastly said as he closed the gab between our lips. At first I was too shocked to move, but our lips soon found their way together, just like they used to a long time ago.
I slowly opened my eyes to see Changbin's face very close to mine as he wore a smirk on his lips. He soon after grabbed both of my hands and slammed them against the desk as he started to kiss me again, this time everything going a lot more forceful.
He firmly held my wrist and pulled me along with him into a big black chair in the corner of the room. He forcefully pulled me down onto his lap and forced me to kiss him.
I pulled back from the kiss as my breathing started to quicken. 'This isn't right.' Was the only think I could think of as I looked into his eyes. If there was one thing I had learned from my relationship with both Sungho and Changbin was: never get into a relationship with a troublesome person, ever again.
"Felix, what's wrong baby?" Changbin asked with a worried expression as he grabbed onto my hand. "I-I can't do this anymore." I said as I shook his grip off and stood up with a hurry, stepping back from him.
"Loving you is too difficult for me."
