"Jun-cute!" Zhou Yichen harrumphed. "Didn\'t we say before to rest? What are you doing running here and there?"

*Meow*

He looked down and beamed at Ai-chan\'s sight, who was being held in Jun\'s arms. "Aiya, Ai-chan! I remember how she stuck by your side the entire time. Both the cats stubbornly clung to you two. We had no choice but to bring them here haha."

Jun replied. "Yeah. Mom said the same," he softly smiled.

He gasped. "Aish, that\'s not the point! You ran all the way here when you should be resting!"

"How could I not when Ai is suffering too? Please let me meet her."

"Dad. It\'s okay," Ai softly said from the other side. "I wanted to meet him too."

Xie Nuying felt they would want to be alone so she started pushing Zhou Yichen outside.

"Heyyyy what are you doing?"

"They are worried about each other. Let them talk. What do you want to do by being a bone in the chicken?"

"..."

How mean!

Xie Nuying kept pushing him forward and he said, "Yeah, yeah, I am leaving…" he grabbed her wrist to stop her incessant poking and realized their were at close proximity.

"..."

"..."

Zhou Yichen let go of her hand.

They flushed red at the same time and coughed hard, quickly turning their heads away. The distance which wouldn\'t have even twitched their eyebrows before suddenly felt too conscious and personal.

All because of Ai\'s words.

\'I want you two to be happy and together.\'

It took them a while to figure out that she meant she wanted them to reunite as a couple. Which was a request they didn\'t understand why she would suddenly make after the years that have passed since their divorce.

Zhou Yichen stammered. "I-I forgot that my best buddy, Mr. Liu is here too! Let me catch up with my favorite i-in-law!"

Xie Nuying quickly followed too, giving a similar excuse.

Jun scratched his chin in confusion after they left. "Was I the only one who felt something…strange going on between them?"

Ai smiled. "It was always like that."

Well, she is not that far from the truth…

The cat Ai-chan jumped down from Jun\'s arms and walked towards the couch where Jun-cute was royally resting. He opened one of his dark brown eyes and stared at Ai-chan.

After what felt like eternity, Jun-cute finally shifted to make some space, and Ai-chan immediately hopped on. The two cats quietly laid beside each other with their eyes closed and not bothering each other.

Though Jun-cute was secretly stealing glances at her.

Jun scratched his head this time. "When did they get so close?"

Guess they finally warmed up to each other, he thought.

He then anxiously took a seat beside her and pulled Ai into his embrace, hugging her firmly. "Ai…"

Tears welled up in her eyes and she hugged him back, softly sobbing in his warmth. She couldn\'t express herself with her parents around as they knew nothing about the past but with Jun by her side, her heart finally felt at peace.

"I missed you, Jun," she sniffled and clutched his shirt, "I missed you a lot."

Jun buried his face in her neck and tremblingly nodded. "I missed you too," he whispered. "It\'s strange, right? It\'s not like we were away, yet I feel like…we are meeting after such a long time."

Ai furiously bobbed her head.

Jun wiped her tears and checked her from head to toe. "You are not injured, right?"

"You are not injured either," she said, relieved.

He softly flicked her forehead. "I\'m asking about you silly."

"I am also worried about you. Didn\'t you collapse too?"

"You are so delicate that I should worry more. Look at you. You look so thin already as if you were starving for ages," he frowned. "I will feed you with lots of food once we return, and you will be eating till your belly becomes a balloon."

Ai pursed her lips in protest. "As if you are very strong. You look so tired with bags under your eyes. Forget eating, I will make you take a good, long nap first."

"Am I not handsome anymore with the dark circles?"

"You are always handsome in my eyes."

Jun smiled and lifted her chin. "En. You are the most beautiful to me too."

He dipped his head for a long and passionate kiss as he entangled his fingers with her soft hair. He pressed and bit on her lips as if he wanted to melt away this uneasy distance between them. He grabbed her waist and bent to kiss further and deeper till they felt breathless.

Ai didn\'t shy away either and holding the back of his head, she parted her lips to let Jun delve his tongue into her mouth. Her heart pounded furiously, wanting him to touch and kiss her a lot.

The past was a lonely place to be. Even more so when she had to witness the tragedy that occurred after her death.

She desperately wanted to find Jun in that strange world, but she could only be alone and fearful.

What if I never meet Jun again?

What if I am stuck in this place forever?

Ai had missed Jun a lot. And so did Jun who wanted nothing else but to feel the heat of their bodies pressing against each other because only then his thudding heartbeat calmed down to feel Ai\'s presence.

Jun withdrew his tongue for a moment to let her breathe but surprisingly, Ai boldly closed the distance between their lips once again. It was as if she was begging him not to stop.

It\'s fine if I am breathless in this kiss, Jun.

It\'s far better than not being able to breathe in that desolate place, she thought to herself as her eyes welled again.

Their kiss was sweeter than the bitter reality she had to see.

Jun\'s brow twitched with the desire enveloping his body to make love to his girlfriend. His hand was already itching to caress her neck and cup her breast.

Damn it, I have to be patient!
