you were never gone
reunion with @miahaneul
the walk from the temporary debriefing room to the isolation wing was the longest walk that daesu has ever done. his legs sort of feel like led as he pushes them to carry him to the closed door. he isn’t too sure what he is going to find on the other side of the door. will she know me? will she be the same? is it really her? the thoughts cloud his mind and its only as he gets closer that he remembers she would hear all of them. she would know he was coming.
keep an eye on her reactions, they had told him. as if the news of his fiancé being back wasn’t the only thing that buzzed in his mind the entire rest of the meeting. he knows what they want from him. they need him to get a read on a currently suspicious agent. confirm once and for all it’s her and she hasn’t been corrupted by the outside world. it’s hard to be completely unbiased when he knows who it is. the only thing keeping him calm is the thought of the kids who has only just been set free of the medic wing. of the spitfire boy probably causing a scene somewhere unaware of the news that awaits him once daesu gets done here.
his hands hovers just before the door knowing it would take no effort to slide it open and step inside. his heart feels like its racing from his chest. his mind focused one thing now.
the door opens easily, the room before him is what he expected to see. his eyes land on the bed in the room and the girl in the middle of that bed. it’s like time stops and refocuses once more. everything becomes colorful again as cliche as it sounds but thats what daesu feels.
“haneul..” he breathes her name for the first time in what feels like years--and probably has been. the sound like honey on his tongue and it takes him two steps to cross over to her. the mission is in his mind, yes, but right now he is not agent helios no, right now he is yang daesu. fiancé of song haneul. right now he wants to focus on her.
“it’s you.. it’s really you.” he reaches with shaky hands, hesitating just before her. almost afraid that this is a illusion and if he were to try and touch she would vanish right before him.
