MINI MASTERLIST

Plot: Kris finally realizes who he belongs to.

Last installment to The Eve.

Yanmei waves both her arms that were balancing a few plastic bags of snacks and dinner she bought for the two of them to share tonight.

“H—how long have you been there?”

Kris immediately stood up to greet Yanmei.

“Long enough. You didn’t even hear me enter the room.”

She rolls her eyes as she gently drops the bags on a table.

“I’m sorry I was spaced out.”

Kris said as he slides where she is and wraps his arms around her waist from behind. Yanmei immediately giggle when she felt Kris’ chin tickle her shoulder.

“What were you thinking about?”

Yanmei asks.

“Nothing important.”

“We’re still friends, Yifan. Nothing will change that, not even my relationship with Chanyeol.”

Hisako’s words still ring inside Kris’ head until now. It has only been 5 days since she and Chanyeol got together and that was the start of Kris’ demise. He knows she means what she said, but the mere fact that he’s far away from her is what scares him the most ever since. He wished he didn’t have invited Chanyeol that night. He wished he didn’t leave her alone with him. It was his fault why she slipped right through his own fingertips, straight to Chanyeol’s arms. Why does he have to be a nice guy, why didn’t he fight for Hisako to stay with him?

But how can he compete with him? How can he compete with 7 years of friendship? He met her through Chanyeol and only hang out with her once or twice in the past before he completely fled the group. They met again 3 years later and been in a weird courtship ever since. How can 2 years of strange on and off again relationship compete with 7 years of consistent sodality? And right off the bat, he knew that she was already taken by him, even though they were only friends. Kris knows she loves Chanyeol, more than she ever loved him or anyone for that matter.

“What are you thinking about?”

Yanmei, the girl in his arms, said as she traces shapes onto the skin of his chest.

“You.”

Kris lied convincingly, making Yanmei smile wide.

“What about me?”

She asks.

“That you’re hot and awesome in bed.”

It wasn’t a lie, not at all. But what’s really on his mind was the first woman he sincerely loved. Probably the only woman he will ever truly love.

“You keep saying that every time after sex, like a robot.”

She props herself up from Kris’ shoulder with a slight pout on her lips.

“It’s because it’s true.”

Kris replied with a nonchalant tone in his voice.

“Why am I even complaining? I’m just one of your many side chicks, anyway.”

She shrugs her shoulders once and stood up from Kris’ hotel bed to clean up inside the bathroom.

“What are you doing?”

“Going home. I suddenly have work in the morning, I don't know.”

Yanmei said in a dispassionate manner while wiggling off Kris’ cling.

“I thought you took a few days off because of me? I’m sorry, please don’t go.”

Kris tugs Yanmei back and she fell right on top of him. She felt him getting hard yet again under her skin and she couldn't get enough of the handsome tall guy below him. She thought, how can Hisako let go of this man? But then again she’s with another handsome and tall guy now, Chanyeol. Yanmei knows their history together. And she knows she’s been in love with Chanyeol ever since they became best friends.

Kris inserted himself inside of her once again that night. She hums out a satisfied moan as she slides down his length.

“So how are you lately?”

He asks as Yanmei rides him.

“Good, I guess.”

She responded quite casually as if they’re not doing sexual acts presently.

“How’s work?”

“Good, but it’s kinda, ugh I don’t know... Because I always see two of my ex-boyfriends every single day.”

Yanmei rolls her eyes thinking about Suho and Chen.

“How’s Junmyeon and Jongdae?”

“Realy? You’re asking me that right now?”

“Well, you started it.”

Kris giggled as he thumbs Yanmei’s clit hastily, making her pace speed up.

“Fuck… Can we not talk about them? Let’s just fuck in silence, okay?”

“Whatever you say, babe.”

~~~

“Hi, you reached Amano Hisako’s landline! I’m not home right…”

There was a pause and a door opened.

“What are you doing?”

He heard the familiar voice of his ex-bandmate.

“Shut up Chany— Anyway, I’m not home but you can leave a message after the beep. BYE!!!”

BEEP~

“Oh, she finally changed her voicemail message.”

It’s already 9 PM she should be home by now, Kris thought to himself. Since Yanmei still works at SM, her schedule is unpredictable. Unlike Hisako, who works a 9 to 5 schedule. And sometimes she even has a full grasp of her own time being the Fashion Editor of one of the top-selling Fashion Magazines of her dreams.

Since she didn’t pick up her landline, Kris opted to text her instead. She’s probably busy doing something for work, he thought.

Me: Hisa I called ur house, but u dint answer. I’m in town let’s hang! (seen 21:10)

Hisa❤: Oh no. I’m not home right now… (seen 21:10)

Me: Where are you? Me: Can I come see u? (seen 21:11)

Hisa❤: If you could fly out to Sydney in an hour, then sure. 😆 (seen: 21:11)

Me: Sydney... Australia??? (seen 21:12)

Hisa❤: Yaaaas! (seen 21:12)

Me: What u doin there? (seen 21:12)

Hisa❤: I’m here 4 KCON. Hisa❤: I went wit uhm.. Hisa❤: w exo… Hisa❤: We just got back from dinner. (seen 21:13)

Me: Oh… Me: … (seen 21:14)

Hisa❤: Mei-mei gave up her spot for me, didn’t she tell u? Hisa❤: She told me something came up n she can’t go. Hisa❤: So Channie told me 2 come instead. :D ❤ Hisa❤: I guess ur what came up, huh? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (seen 21:15)

Me: 😜😜😜 (seen 21:15)

Hisa❤: What brings you to Seoul? (seen 21:28)

He couldn’t reply anymore. How could he when he lost all good mood he had a while ago. How could she ask what brings him to Seoul when she knew that the only reason he goes back to that God Forsaken country is that of her. She’s the only one who can make him forget the bad things that happened to him. Hisako is his rock.

He wanted to go home to Guangzhou right then and there. He wanted to lock himself in, away from the world for a few days and only come out when he’s ready. Only a day more and you’ll be home, he told himself.

“Yifan… Earth to Yifan!!!”

Yanmei waves both her arms that were balancing a few plastic bags of snacks and dinner she bought for the two of them to share tonight.

“H—how long have you been there?”

Kris immediately stood up to greet Yanmei.

“Long enough. You didn’t even hear me enter the room.”

She rolls her eyes as she gently drops the bags on a table.

“I’m sorry I was spaced out.”

Kris said as he slides where she is and wraps his arms around her waist from behind. Yanmei immediately giggle when she felt Kris’ chin tickle her shoulder.

“What were you thinking about?”

Yanmei asks.

“Nothing important.”

He assures her and she took it. She always does even though she knows there are only a couple of things that are constantly in her lover’s mind, It’s either his music or Hisako. She sighs as she sets aside her insecurities about Kris’ ex, she hovers her hands over his forearms that was snaked around her and give it a loving caress.

Kris buries his face in her hair that gave him another round of giggles from her. He loves it when Yanmei reacts like that to his physical affections, even how small and simple they are.

“Are you okay, Yifan? Is something worrying you?”

“Why do you ask that?”

“You’re extra clingy today.”

Yanmei continues to caress Kris’ arms as they both sway lightly as if there is soft music playing in the background.

“Nothing is bothering me, babe. You’re here with me, so I’m happy.”

It wasn’t exactly a lie, but thoughts of Hisako with Chanyeol is definitely bothering him.

“Are you sure?”

She speaks softly, careful not to annoy him with her concerns.

“Of course, let’s eat and then cuddle in bed after, yeah?”

Kris immediately deviates the topic and removes his hold on her to check on the food she brought him. The loss of his arms made Yanmei frown a minuscule second.

“Okay.”

She replies with a tiny smile as Kris rips open the lid of the food he requested for.

“So how’s your mom Mei-mei?”

Kris asks as he took a bite of food in his mouth, Yanmei wiping the sauce on the side of his mouth with her thumb and casually lick the sauce off her finger.

“We talked on the phone briefly, but she was so loopy with meds so I have to end the call. Dad said she’s been a little bit better from when I was there 2 weeks ago.”

She happily reports the updates of her mother’s condition as if Kris has already met them. She wanted him to meet her family, but they are not on that kind of term yet.

“That’s great news. We have to visit her when we’re not busy.”

His lips gave out an empty promise and she knows it’ll never happen, so she just hums a response.

“I heard you didn’t go to Australia so Hisako can?”

“What? Who told you that?”

“Hisako told me she’s in Sydney or KCON.”

“I didn’t join just so she can go. I didn’t go to Sydney because I wanna be with you here. I wasn’t even needed there, but I chose you over extra pay.”

Kris continues to eat his food nonchalantly as if he didn’t just hear what she said.

“Ah, I see. So how were Hisa and Yeollie?

That’s it, Yanmei can’t deal with this bullshit anymore.

“I don’t know, Yifan. Why don’t you ask them? They are our common friends after all.”

“What’s with your tone all of a sudden?”

Kris asks her as if she did something so heinous.

“What’s wrong with my tone?”

“Are you angry?”

“Oh no, I’m not angry, Yifan. I’m mad!”

Yanmei stood up from her seat and attempted to grab her purse.

“What are you doing?!”

“You always do that, Yifan! ALWAYS! And I’m done.”

“Always do what, Yanmei?”

“Talk about Hisako as if it doesn’t bother me. Haven’t you realize that I know everything? I know your history, I know everything that happened between you. Because I was the one she rants it about, I’m the only one who knows about you two.”

“I— I didn’t know.”

“When you went for me and we hooked up, I wasn’t even planning on seeing you again because I know your feelings for her. But you keep on calling me and I guess I’m a weak woman, I felt sorry that you’re hurting this way and I know I shouldn’t have to keep on being with you out of pity but eventually, I developed a fondness for you, Yifan. Behind the insecure man you always show her, behind your apprehensiveness towards her I saw a good man who is equally as good a lover.”

Yanmei stops for a few seconds to take a long breath to continue.

“I stopped meeting with the two guys I was casually dating just so I can focus and give my whole self to you, Yifan. Because I know Hisako can’t do that for you anymore. I changed my ways just for you. I know she’s still your friend and I’m not stopping you from hanging out with her or anything. All I wanted was your complete attention when we’re together. But I’m so tired right now, Yifan. I’m tired of slaving myself to SM, I’m tired of constantly thinking about my dying mother. And I’m tired of being your second. Hell, I may even just be your fucking Fifth for all I know!”

Yanmei grabs her purse and drifts her way heavily to the door.

“If you’re not ready to give yourself to me yet, don’t call me. But I'll be there for you when you finally need me for things other than sex.”

And just like that, Kris’ hotel door slams shut leaving him with his thoughts in the cold and silent room.

~~~

“Yifan…”

Her velvety voice flows smoothly around him. Surrounding him with love and comfort as she writhes and moans beautifully beneath him. Her arms clinging strongly to his and her parted lips touching his ears slightly, her breath ghosting his skin making him tingle in the best way possible.

“Say my name, Hisako. Say my name.”

“Yifan… Yifan Don’t stop. Make it last forever.”

She said the last part breathy and weak.

“I love making love to you Yian, make it last forever.”

“Yifan…”

“Y—Yifan…”

“What is happening?”

“Yifan, I’m done!”

“You always do that, Yifan! ALWAYS! And I’m done.”

He looked behind him and there she was,

Yanmei.

Her purse dragging on the floor.

Opening the door.

Her face tear-stained, full of hurt.

“I developed a fondness for you, Yifan. Behind the insecure man you always show her, behind your apprehensiveness towards her I saw a good man who is equally as good a lover.”

“Yanmei?”

Kris calls out for her as he detaches himself from Hisako.

“Yifan?”

Hisako cries out.

“If you’re not ready to give yourself to me yet, don’t call me. But I'll be there for you when you finally need me for things other than sex.”

Before he can even reach for Yanmei, the door already slammed shut in his face.

“FUCK!”

Kris jolts awake, cold sweat dripping slowly down the side of his face.

It was only a dream.

A weird dream.

~~~

“Hey, did anything happened between you and Mei-mei? Channie told me she’s been spacing out a lot recently. Even Jongdae who doesn’t want to do anything with her anymore grew concerned..”

“Did you just call me to ask that?”

“Yes.”

Hisako answers truthfully.

“Nothing happened, Hisa.”

“You’re lying Yifan.”

“Okay, we kind of argued a little bit. More like she blew up on me. Totally uncalled for.”

Kris whines like a child over the phone.

“I know Yanmei. She won’t ‘blew up’ on you unless you did something really bad. What did you do to her?”

Kris can hear the disappointment in Hisako’s voice. Hisako and Yanmei have been friends for a lot longer than with him and even Chanyeol. Of course, she will take her side.

“Well to be honest… We argued about you.”

“A—about me? Why?”

Hisako was taken aback about what Kris just asserted.

“You know the reason already.”

Hisako definitely knows already, he doesn’t even need to verbalize anymore.

“Look Yifan I’m telling you this. You need to move on. I’m sorry if I’m being so blunt right now, but you need it. You really need to hear it and you really need Yanmei, she’s… Fucking hell Yifan, I think she’s in love with you already.”

The words Yanmei said to him a month ago started ringing inside his head.

“I know I shouldn’t have to keep on being with you out of pity but eventually, I developed a fondness for you, Yifan.”

“I stopped meeting with the two guys I was casually dating just so I can focus and give my whole self to you, Yifan.”

“All I wanted was your complete attention when we’re together.”

“I need to go Hisa. I’ll call you back soon okay? I’m in the studio trying to write a song.”

“Whatever. Think about it Yifan.”

And before he can even reply, Hisako already cut the line for him.

An hour later of trying to brainstorm for song ideas, inspiration is still not hitting him.

“Man, I’m still so dry right now.”

Kris said as he stretches his arms wide.

“I think you need a break, Kris. How long have you been in the studio?”

The concern on the producer’s face is evident.

“I only went home to take a shower.”

Kris admitted. He’s not only as dry of ideas as he said, he’s also very distracted. Distracted by Hisako’s words and very distracted with thoughts of Yanmei.

“Go home, bro. Sleep, eat and get away from here for now. Take a long break, as long as you want. Go on a vacation or something. Fuck a bitch or two, we don’t have to do this song today if you really can’t.”

Kris weakly laughs at what his friend said.

“I will, thanks. I’ll call you when I’m ready.”

It’s been a week since then and his songwriting drive still hasn’t started. But his dreams and thoughts by now are full of Yanmei. He dreams about the things they have and haven’t done yet. And when he wakes, he smiles knowing it’s her again that he fantasized as he sleeps. But then the guilt of knowing that all she ever experienced when they’re together are shitty feelings eats him up real bad.

“Yanmei?”

“What yanmei? I asked if you’re alright. You’re getting distant again, bro. Stop spacing out!”

“I—I gotta go. I need to do something.”

“Oh, oka—”

Before his producer friend can even finish his reply, Kris is already out the door and speed dialing Yanmei’s number.

“The number you are calling is out of reach, please try again later.”

“Fuck, did she block me or something?”

Kris keeps trying to reach Yanmei a few more times as he frantically push the ground floor button of the building’s elevator and it dawned on him. He ended the call and dialed Hisako’s number instead. And not even two rings she answeres immediately.

“Hisa, this is important. I think Yanmei blocked my number, I can’t reach her. I need to talk to her. Please let me talk to her if you know where she is or if you’re with her. Please.”

“Yifan…”

“Please Hisa… I know now. I finally get it now.”

“YIFAN!”

“Hisako, please. Please let me talk to her. I need to hear Mei-mei’s voice. I need to—”

“YIFAN! Shut up for a few seconds first, dammit! You don’t even let me talk.”

“I’m sorry, I just really need to—”

“SHUT UP! I need to tell you something.”

“O—Okay…”

Kris can hear Hisako inhale a deep breath and he readies himself of what his friend’s about to say. She’ll probably scream ‘I TOLD YOU SO!’ into his ears through the other line.

“Yifan. Listen to me. Yanmei’s mother passed away 2 days ago. And I’m glad you called, just in time because she needs you now more than ever. She’s in Beijing with her family. Please, please go and be with her. She doesn’t want any of us to go with her and I know she’s really not okay right now. She turned off her phone yesterday and we haven’t been able to contact her since.”

Kris knows that Hisako’s already crying on behalf of her friend because of the quiver in her voice.

“I’ll text you her address. Please go. For Yanmei. She needs you.”

“Thank you Hisako, thank you. I will book a flight right now. Thank you so much, Hisa!”

“Call me when you’re with her, okay! Please take care and have a safe flight”

“I will.”

~~~

“I hope this is the right address…”

Kris whispers to himself as he adjusts the strap of his duffel bag. He doesn’t even remember what he packed in there, he was doing it so rashly and he actually left his room a mess. He inhales deeply and exhales just as headily before he presses the doorbell on the side of the red gate. Hopefully, he got the correct house.

~BZZZZZZZT~

The loud buzz of the house bell made his insides do crazy flips. In one sleepy after-sex cuddle session with Yanmei, she mentions that their house bell in China has the loudest sound and it always scares her whenever someone rings it. Kris will never forget that moment because the expression on Yanmei’s face as she tells the story was really funny. She was so serious he can tell she really hates the sound of it.

His patience is taking a toll on his nerves and he decided to push the doorbell again. But before he can even lift his finger up, the sound of hasty footsteps on gravel stones met his ears. The smaller doorway of the gate opens wide to reveal a very disoriented Yanmei. Hair sticking everywhere, eyes half-lidded with restless sleep and body barely covered with a black silk robe.

Kris looks at her entirety and he can tell that she hasn’t been eating lately, maybe even longer as her collarbones are sticking out more than usual. The bags under her eyes drooping and darkened. He immediately drops his duffel bag on the ground and envelopes her in a tight hug.

“Yi—fan?”

It took a few seconds before she realizes who it was in front of her. The irresistible manly scent of Kris that she misses a lot immediately enters her nostrils and made her heavy eyes flutter close.

“Yanmei… Baby, I’m so sorry.”

Kris starts rocking her soothingly, his face buried in the crook of her neck as he inhales her scent. She smells different right now, of floral detergent, but her distinct cinnamon sweetness is still there. Just a tiny hint of it.

“Wha… What are you— Whatr... Whar you... Doing here?”

Her soup-like brain cannot function well and won’t form a straight and coherent sentence.

“I’m here for you babe. I’m so sorry about your mother. I know I told you we’ll visit her right? I’m here. I may be a little too late, but I’m here now.”

Kris pushes Yanmei away only to cup her face with his huge hands.

“How did you… even know where my hou…”

She couldn’t even finish her sentence anymore, her tears just fell voluntarily. She’s overwhelmed yet again with emotions, just like when she first came to see her mother’s lifeless body for the first time.

“Shh, baby everything will be okay. I’m here now.”

“Yifan, please take me to my room. I can’t even stand any longer than this.”

Kris then noticed that Yanmei is actually holding on to dear life onto his jacket. Her legs wobbling like jello. So in one swift move, he grabs and slings his bag securely around his torso, kicked the gate close and scoop Yanmei up in his arms.

Two hours later, Yanmei starts waking up from the first real peaceful nap she took since getting home from Seoul. Kris caresses her hair gently to let her know he’s still beside her.

“Hey, you awake now, beautiful?”

“I—I thought I was just dreaming about you a while ago.”

“I’m here, I’m real baby.”

Kris gleams down at her and Yanmei reciprocates with a weak smile.

“Did— Did…”

Yanmei started.

“What is it?”

“Never mind.”

She sighs, she stretches her limbs as Kris shuffles on the bed a little bit to give her space to move her bones.

“No, tell me… Please.”

“Did Hisako make you come here?”

Yanmei immediately regretted her query because Kris’ bright face faltered.

“No. I couldn’t reach your phone, so I called her and she told me everything. She gave me your address and I came here on my own accord.”

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine. I understand your distrust, I totally fucked everything up for you.”

Yanmei’s face turns sour as she sees Kris’ frown.

“I’m sorry I even said that. At least you’re with me, that’s more important for me right now. Thank you, Yifan.”

“You don’t need to thank me, baby. I will drop anything just to be with you again.”

Kris slides his right hand from her shoulder up to her cheek and traces her jaw with gentle strokes. The gesture made Yanmei close her eyes and inhale a huge breath before heaving out a sigh as if saying she’s finally starting to believe that fairytales do come true. And Kris, her knight in shining armor, may not be perfect but at least he’s real and not imaginary.

This is not exactly the kind of story she dreamed of as a little girl, but this is the reality. And this is better than any fairy tale ever written.

“Look at me, Baby.”

Yanmei opens her eyes to Kris’ strong, but loving gaze.

“I need to see your eyes when I tell you this.”

She hums a response, not knowing what to say and just letting Kris do all the talking.

“I love— No, no. I don’t just love you anymore. I’m in love with you Yanmei.”

A tear rolled down from his eye and she watches as it fell to her pillowcase.

“I’ve been blinded by my previous emotions that I didn’t even see all the efforts you exerted just for me.”

He paused to wipe the tears that are already falling from Yanmei’s eyes.

“Thank you for being patient with me and I’m sorry it took me this long to realize you’re there for me without asking for too much. I understand if you don’t want to trust me anymore, but I am willing to do anything just to gain it back.

Yanmei gave Kris a shaky smile and run her fingers through his soft hair.

“I will take you back even if you hurt me time and time again, Yifan.”

“I will never dare to hurt you again babe. You deserve it and so much more.”

Kris grazes Yanmei’s lips with his thumb and gently, tenderly kiss her tears away.

Tell me your thoughts, feedbacks makes me feel alive. :D
