My Ex is my Bestfriend

So, after Christmas, we should have moved down the mountain. But, we strongly agreed to spend our holiday here, until new year. Oh, one more week to be with my Minho.

During the week, we spent our days idling around. No, it was Minho idling around while I was learning how to cook and bake and everything about making food. It was good that Minho's library include a lot of cookbooks.

I believe, I've made a huge progress. I can make soup without overcooking the vegetables. Well but frying, I always hold up my shield - a casserole cover or anything just to shield me from flying oil. Yes, sometimes it happens and I'm afraid I'd be scalded. Minho just laughs at my hilarious cooking. But he goes speechless when I presented him a perfectly fried fish. Ho ho ho~

So aside from cooking, we also made time to read, and share theories and conspiracies. I also let him watch one of my favorite anime, Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso. Yeah, a sad story, but I really like it.

"Cassidy. Why did you let me watch this. This is so sad."

I consoled him. I was crying too. Even if I have watched this for many times, I still get emotional.

"Why? Cassidy, don't tell me, this is your way of explaining what would happen to us in the future? I can't let that happen! No no no!"

I stared at him, dazed and confused. In the future? What?

"Uh, you mean I showed you this because you think it would happen to us? Like I would die of some disease and leave you sad and alone?"

"Yes. Tell me, are you sick? Please don't leave me. It's too soon."

I smacked his head. "Silly. I'm not ill. I don't have a terminal disease or whatever. I just showed you this, simply because I liked it. Even if it's sad, well I don't know. I always liked watching it. And that's it, okay?"

"Really? That's comforting. And I'm sorry."

"It's okay. So, do you wanna watch it again?"

"Noooo! We should watch another one."

And on and on we went.

On New Year, Minho surprised me of a fireworks display when we were inside the bedroom. We were just talking, snuggled close when suddenly I heard a boom and fireworks appeared before my eyes.

"Happy New Year Cassidy," he whispered.

I smiled and kisses him. "Happy New Year, too."

Well, of course it could have stayed romantic as it was but then Minho blurted out, "If you'd ever wonder why the fireworks are repeating, bear in mind that it's just a huge flat screen tv up."

"Ugh. Thanks for ruining this moment. Why would you even say that? I won't even remember and it doesn't matter if it's repeating! Why are you so honest Minho. Ugh."

He laughed, really really loud. What the hell is wrong with this guy?

"Hahahaha. I'm sorry again. But well...."

"Yeah whatever Minho." I quickly rolled and sat on top of him.

"What-" and I shut him up with my lips.

The morning came when we have to say goodbye to our little cabin. Our memories here are super precious and I want to treasure it all. I was a bit emotional when we locked it and went on our way.

I stood there, rooted, thinking if I could ever come back here. And with Minho.

"Cassidy?" he lightly tapped my shoulder. "Are you okay? We should get going. We've got a long way to go, since you're not choosing the cable car."

"Yeah. Let's go." I bowed to the cabin, wishing it would stay there and wait for Minho and I to come back.

And then we started our trek home.

I wish that when we get back, there's gonna be more for Minho and I.

I wish, we'd stay like this, and grow together more.

I wish.... I wish for our love to prosper.
