Song of the Day: “Set Me Free” - Younha

-------------------------✿-------------------------

After calming himself down Kris managed to talk about his past to Tao....slowly. He mentioned the parts of his unfaithful father, Subin leaving, Amber, his birth mother coming back, the death of his parents, Véronique being CEO, and him wanting to get the company back.

Kris even surprised himself that he admitted to Tao that he experienced depression and failed attempt killing himself. He noticed Tao almost teared up at that part especially.

He didn’t plan on telling Tao about his past, not this soon, but looking at Tao there was a part of him saying that it shouldn’t wait any longer. Tao’s warm presence made it possible for him to say it all somehow.

Kris did keep the biggest secret of Véronique’s evil plan of taking over the company. It was still hard even for Kris himself to accept. He thought it’d be too much to let himself and Tao hear the words “my birth mother was responsible for killing her” out loud. He could tell the younger was already shaken by his rough past.

Tao listened to every word and never let Kris’ hand go as they stayed on the beach. Luckily not that many people showed up just yet despite that day being perfect beach weather.

He felt like his heart was being stabbed at every time Kris struggled to find the words and hold back the tears. Tao wasn’t really sure what to say, but he knew Kris didn’t expect him to say much. Staying by his side was enough.

Like any other person Kris was someone that simply wanted to be loved. Tao wanted to be that person for him. Unbeknownst to Tao, Kris already felt like the other already was.

There were surely some things that Kris didn’t talk about in detail but Tao understood. The mere mention of his mother made his heart feel heavy. Tao didn’t expect Kris open to him that soon, so he took what he learned and listened wholeheartedly.

When Kris finished talking he sat up and stretched his arms out. He looked at his phone and noticed they had been at the beach for about four hours. People were starting to arrive and that meant to go somewhere else where he could be alone with Tao.

The two walked fingers laced. Kris suddenly gave a soft kiss to Tao.

“Thank you for listening. I sincerely appreciate it.”

“You’re welcome...and thank you for opening up to me. I know it wasn’t easy.”

Kris tightened his grip and smiled at Tao before kissing him once more.

You really are too perfect.

They kept walking in a comforting silence as they made their way to a small quaint home.

An old lady was at the door greeting Kris.

“Aigoo. Kris, I thought you were coming here tomorrow!” Kris’ smile beamed and he crouched down to let the old woman give him a "big ol’ hug." Tao thought it was cute when she proceeded to pinch Kris’ cheeks and praised how he keeps getting more and more handsome every time she sees him.

“By the way...Mama, I was wondering if you could

give me the keys Howon gave you?” asked Kris.

“Oh! Right! Let me go inside and fetch them for you deary,” replied the old lady.

“Howon? Who’s that?”

“Oh, Howon? Uhh...I know he goes by ‘Hoya’ too.

He’s just someone I know. His cousin goes to my college.”

“Wait, Hoya?...Correct me if I’m wrong, but...as in Infinite’s Hoya?” Tao was trying to grasp around what was going on at that moment. Kris gave him a straight face and replied “Yeah, why?”
