âYou ever think about where weâll be in the next few years?â
You had been lying there in a comfortable silence next to your boyfriend when the sudden question cut made you turn your head to face him, a brow arched in curiosity about where the sudden inquiry was coming from. Changbin has mentioned something like this in past days to you and all your friends ever since the start of your senior year of High School, but now that youâre just a few months away from graduation he seemed to be mentioning the possibilities of the future more often.
âI mean, you have to be thinking about it too, right?â Changbinâs voice cut through the silence once more, his head now turned towards you so he could look you in the eyes as he spoke. âWhat do we have, like three more months to go before weâre officially finished with High School and moving on to the next chapter in our lives?â You were about to speak but he continued, âI donât know, itâs just something Iâve been thinking on lately. JustâŠWhere are we going to be in five years? What are our lives going to look like by then?â
You had shifted to lay on your side in the bed you were both occupying in his room, head now being propped up by your hand so you could see him better. Â If there was one thing you loved about Changbin, it was very much the fact that he was very thoughtful about the things going on in his life and everyone elseâs lives as well.
âYou make it sound as if you donât already have a road map planned out for you,â you chuckled, eyes fixed on your boyfriendâs face. It was no secret around school that Changbin and his friends were aspiring musicians striving to make it in the music industry, and everyone could see that they had what it takes to be the next big thing.
âNo, I have our road mad planned out actually,â Changbin grinned at you, finally shifting onto his side so he was fully facing you just as you were him, playfully flicking you in the forehead in the process.
âOh yeah?â You smiled, sitting upright in bed now. You were more than eager to hear whatever plans Changbin had cooked up in his head for the both of you. âSo, whatâs our future looking like, Mr. Seo Changbin?â
âThatâs Binnie to you,â A playful pout came over his expression, but it quickly melted away into a mischievous smirk and you suddenly found yourself in his arms. Not that you were complaining, Changbinâs arms was one of your favorite places to be. âAnd first things first, the guys and me? Weâre going to get that big break weâve been striving for. And you? Youâre going to be right there with me every step of the way.â
âThat sounds great and all, but what about my dreams?â You chin was resting on his chest but your gaze was still very much focused on his face. âI have things that I want to accomplish too.â
âOf course, I never left that out of the plan,â He grinned. âI know you want to make your own way as a songwriter, and I support that. What really matters to me is that weâre both going after what we want and weâre doing it together.â
Changbinâs words made your heart flutter in your chest. Even when you werenât always sure about where the trajectory of your life would lead you, he was always there with his words of positivity, ever the optimist. âMm, look at my Binnie, always having everything under control.â
âI love it when you call me Binnie,â Changbin wasted no time in peppering your cheeks with little kisses, enjoying the cute giggles that his actions were pulling from you. âMakes me feel special.â
âThatâs because you are special to me, very much so.â The words you spoke were nothing but the truth. Changbin has held your heart in the palm of his hands and there was no other place you would rather it be.
âItâs always going to be you and me, right?â He asked you. âUs against the world?â
âItâs always us,â came your reply, and before you could say anything else he was pulling you into a slow, gentle kiss, effectively ending your conversation and moving right along to a more physical form of communication.
Everything in that moment seemed so easy, so simple. But after that time you spent together, you would both be finding out just how quickly things would change for the worse.
