6-Decisions

"Do you remember anything else?" Alby asked me after we entered the med-jack's tent to talk in private. I shook my head. "By the way you okay? You seem a little red." he asked looking a little worried.  

"It's nothing. Just ran here after fixing Minho up. He needs to rest for at least three days max." I said. "So is that all you needed to talk about?" I asked putting away the medical wrap.

"No, but talking about you and Minho....I was also wondering what's up with you two." he said with a serious face.

"What do you mean?" I said trying to play it off as if my heart wasn't beating like crazy at the mention of Minho's name. Alby was hesitant as he said, "Like do you both have feelings for one another?" My cheeks started to heat up. "Is it that obvious?" I asked putting my cold hands upon my heated cheeks.

What came next made me wished that I had never left Minho's room to come and talk to Alby. "I don't want to abuse my power, but I won't allow romantic relationships in this glade. I need Minho to focus on finding a way for all of us to escape." Alby said.

My heart sank into despair as Alby spoke those words. I couldn't even find any anger towards him, and just stared at the ground trying not to cry because in my heart I knew that what he said was right, but my heart also knew that it wouldn't be able to stop loving Minho.

"I'm sorry Suzy." Alby said and gently hugged me, patting my head. "I see how the both of you are together, and as a friend I'm glad that even in this shucking hell you guys were able to find love. But as the leader of this glade, I need to make sure that everyone is doing what needs to be done for the safety of everyone." he said and stepped back from the hug.

I stood their silently. Words unable to make their way out of my mouth. Emotionless. My body felt numb as I replayed Alby's words inside my head. His words collided with Minho's confession just earlier. "Suzy..."I heard Alby called out.

"I understand." I forced myself to say, still not daring to look at Alby because I didn't want to hate him at this moment and ruin the friendship that we had.

"Thanks for understanding. Again, I'm sorry to the both of you. I'll let Minho know too." Alby said and started to head out.

"Wait!" I said finally look at Alby's face. "Don't tell him." I pleaded as Alby looked at me confused and sad, but nodded to my request. "Also, just give us a few days. Let me love him one last time before I do as you asked."

"3 days." Alby said now avoiding my pleading eyes. "Thank you." I whispered and watched as Alby walked away, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

I didn't sleep that night, I couldn't. My heart was conflicted thinking about the conversation I had with Alby, and the confession that Minho had given me. Why does something bad always have to happen to me after something really good? How was I going to stop myself from being with Minho? Was this the right decision? All kinds of questions ran through my mind.

I was in the tent just randomly checking through our stock. My back to the entrance of the tent. I could hear his footsteps walk in. I always knew when it was him. His footsteps made my heart ripple with excitement. I felt his arms wrap around my waist and lips softly kissing the nape of my neck. "Minho." I softly said as I tilted my head to the side to let him rest his head upon my shoulder.

"Ji-ho." he whispered into my neck. His breath tickling my skin. I slowly turned around in his arms to wrap my arms around his neck. "Why are you still up?" he said resting his forehead on mine. "Couldn't sleep." I answered back smiling as we looked into each other's eyes. "Me too." he softly whispered as his grip pulled me closer towards him.

Three days...I'll make the best out of it. I don't know when I started having such feelings for him. Maybe he was right that I fell for him the first time I saw him. I still don't remember why I had cried and reached out to him when I first came here. Or the fact that we've only known each other for about a little over a month, but it felt like I've known him my whole life.

"Come on big guy. Let's go rest. It's getting late." I said still locked within his iron grip. "Or we could do something else." Minho said smirking. I giggled and playfully ran my fingers through his silky black hair. "We haven't even established what kind of relationship we have." I whispered into his hair as I rested my head on his shoulder.

Minho slowly pulled away and put some distance between us. He got on one knee and said, "Ji-ho, will you be fine forever?"

Emotion swept over me. I felt my eyes becoming watery from the mixture of happiness and sadness."Yes." I said smiling and suddenly was carried by my waist and twirled around by a smiling Minho. I laughed as he placed me back down on my feet.

"I love you." he said grabbing my face into his hands and pulled me in for a kiss. As our lips collided with one another, I gently ran my hands down his chest and stomach. We broke apart from our kiss and quickly went for another one. The kisses were gentle and sweet.

"I can't believe that I could finally do all of this with you." he said smiling. "Exactly what were you imaging we would do after getting together?" I asked raising my eyebrow, and Minho smirked and sent me a wink.

"Come on. Time to go to sleep." I said taking his hand in mine and left the tent. We walked to the homestead slowly while our fingers intertwined with one another. I told myself to not let what was to come disrupt what we would have for the next three days. I decided then that I was going to love him with my everything.

We quickly went to his room as quietly as we could, since there were some of the boys sleeping in the homestead in their sleeping bags instead of outside in the hammocks. As we made it to his room, he shut the door after I walked in.

"You sleep on the bed. I'll sleep on the floor. Since you never what I might do to you now that we're officially together." he said wiggling his eyebrows and sending me a sexy smirk. "I don't mind sleeping on the bed together." I said blushing, and saw that MInho was getting a little pink as well.

He laid on the bed first. Him being hurt on his side, I slept on the side where it wasn't bruised. "I like this." he said as we were cuddling. "I miss you already. Even though you're next to me." I said tracing random shaped onto his chest. "You're so weird, but even so I still like that part of you." he said kissing the top of my head.

"Goodnight, Ji-ho." he said. "Goodnight, Minho." I softly said closing my eyes and listened as he started to lightly snore. "Three days." I whispered trying to bury myself further into his arms, so I could never leave. Three days.
