Hey guys! Guess what I promised I would have this up! And well here it is!
Just so everyone does know this is the Sequel Story to my other MM Story titled "Don't Let Go" you don't have to have read it to fully understand the plot. But it might be helpful just to know Ar..but other then that I think it can stand on it's own fairly well.
Also I would like to give a huge, huge thank you to Chutkat on Deviant Art. She's the wonderful artist I commissioned to do the cover piece for this Fan fiction! I love what she did...and if you guys would like please, please check out her other works! She's amazing! .
That being said I would also like to add that I'd really love for this piece to not be stolen or used for other things. I paid to have it commissioned, not to mention that Ar is sort of my OC and I'd really like her design not to be taken. In that same breath the art does belong to Chut since she drew it so I would also like it not redistributed either...thank you so much!
Anyways...on to the story! 83

Chapter 1: A little rain and early morning talks
Rain pelted down against the window of the small apartment, a full gale blowing up in the early hours of the morning.
Though this wasn't what troubled the figure who tossed and turned in her bed. A nightmare seemed to have pulled Ar into it's grip as she tossed and turned her blankets wrapping around her constricting her movements.
With a sudden cry half between a whimper and shout she finally pried open her wide blue eyes. She blinked groggily as she sprung up in bed, pushing her covers away as she gasped for breath.
Her chest rose and fell as she tried to fill her lungs with air, her eyes wild for a few seconds as she glanced around trying to get her barrings. Her poor eyesight and the darkness of her bedroom didn't help matters.
After a few seconds she swallowed hard her brain slowly catching up with what had just happened. She sighed a little bit as she pushed her bangs out of her eyes continuing to breath heavily as she reached over to grab her glasses off her night stand.
She groaned a little at seeing the clock it's glaring red letters saying it was just a little after 3:30 in the morning. She took another deep breath as her heart rate finally began to slow as she put on her glasses.
It was odd she never really had nightmares and truth be told she didn't even remember what this one had been about now. Just the sudden sensation of cold dread and fear that had captured her heart and didn't seem to want to let go.
She was just debating on getting up for a glass of water to help collect her thoughts when she noticed the sound that was coming from outside and she once again felt her heart start to race.
"Oh man...please don't let this storm come with..." She never got to finish that sentence as a sudden bright flash signaled that it was indeed coming with lightening and thunder.
'Dammit...' She mentally cursed as she shivered involuntarily as the first low rumble of thunder sounded.
She swallowed hard again feeling her heart starting to race yet again as she flopped back down on her pillows and pulled her blankets up over her head and cowered into a ball her panda pillow death gripped to her chest as she whimpered.
She knew it was silly to be this afraid of storms, she really did but for whatever reason they'd always sent her off into this sort of attack.
Another clap caused her to whimper as she squeezed her eyes tightly closed and let out a small whimper. She considered grabbing her phone and calling Yoosung, knowing the sound of his voice would help calm her racing heart.
But she knew he needed the rest he had to be up in two and a half hours for his surgery and she didn't want to wake him. The poor guy had sounded loopy enough from his medication when she'd called him the night before to tell him she'd gotten home safely.
She'd had to resist the urge to laugh when Zen had had to wrestle the phone from him so he didn't make anymore of an idiot of himself in his drugged stupor. A small smile tugged at her lips at that thought but it quickly left as another clap of thunder caused her to cling harder to her pillow.
She sighed it was going to be a long storm she just knew it...
Thankfully for her the storm blew itself out after a bit, not nearly as long as she thought that it would. After the thunder finally stopped rolling did she peek her head out from under her blankets.
She glanced at the clock it was nearly 4:15 she heaved a heavy sigh as she sat up and groaned. Her head felt foggy and her body felt heavy.
She'd only managed to get a few hours of sleep, after returning back to her apartment the night before she'd had the inspiration to throw together a bit of a get well package for Yoosung.
So she'd found herself going to every convenience store that was near her apartment to gather up what she'd wanted. Sadly one thing had been the hardest to find...
Seven and Yoosung hadn't lied about the rarity of Honey Buddha Chips in the chat, she'd gone to four different stores by the time she was ready to call it quits.
She'd finally given in and called Seven in hopes that the Hacker might be able to help her out.
After explaining to him her mission and having to feed into his ego by praising his greatness as 'God Seven' in several different languages he'd finally clued her into a store that actually had some of the rare treat.
It was far from her apartment, far enough she'd even had to take a taxi. But the four bags she'd managed to fit into the backpack she'd already loaded were worth more to her then the cab fare, or the fact that she'd gotten home well after one.
Of course with the excitement and everything else from the previous day she'd not managed to fall asleep right away. And now she was paying that price.
Of course in her defense the nightmare and storm hadn't been her fault.
Ar heaved another sigh as she finally wrangled herself out of bed and stumbled her way towards the bathroom deciding to just go ahead and bite the bullet for a shower.
She cringed a little when she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror, she'd for sure seen better days. She shook her head slightly at that thought all she needed was a good hot shower and some food and then she'd feel better.
The thought of getting to see Yoosung again made her heart skip a beat, she knew it was crazy that it had only been a few hours since they'd seen each other but still.
She could feel the excitement building in her stomach at the thought, even if this wasn't going to be a fun visit.
That thought caused the feeling to become a bit more uncomfortable as she thought about the events of the previous day. The thought of this surgery and the fact that even with it he still might go blind in his left eye.
She again shook her head to clear it, no she didn't need to dwell on that at the moment. She gave her horrid appearance one last scathing look before she grabbed her towel and headed off to take a shower.
A bit later she exited the shower, breathing deeply at the much more relaxed feeling she had now. Her head was less foggy and her body felt refreshed as well.
She smiled a little as she got dressed and began to fix her hair, glancing in the mirror she grinned a little at her appearance.
She'd gone for one of her more casual looks today all things considered. A billowy soft pink peasant blouse that hung off her shoulders with a lavender tank underneath. Denim leggings, and a thick brown belt around her middle that completed the look.
Her hair she chose to leave natural allowing it to flow in loose waves over her shoulders. She glanced at herself debating on if she wanted to bother with her contacts.
Remember Yoosung's complement on her glasses yesterday she chose to just run with those.
Her head suddenly perked at the sound of her phone ringing from the next room, a look of surprised crossed her face as she quickly made her way out of the bathroom.
She bounced across her bed to grab the aforementioned item that continued to sound loudly through out the apartment.
A small smile graced her lips as she recognized the number, hitting the green answer button quickly she held the device to her ear before speaking.
"Hello?" She answered happily her eyes lighting up as she did.
"O-Oh...hello! I was afraid I'd wake you..." Came Yoosung's voice from the other line, she could hear the surprise in his voice as he spoke.
She giggled a little as she shook her head.
"No, I've been up for a while now..." She said swallowing hard at remembering her morning.
He must have sense the emotions in her voice since his became concerned.
"You alright? Did you sleep well? You should have called me if not! I would have woken up and talked to you..." He said quickly into the receiver.
Ar giggled at this and smiled feeling her heart flutter at his words.
"I'm fine, really. Besides you needed to sleep...it was just a bad dream." She said shaking her head even though she knew he couldn't see it.
"Still...I would have...I would have even come over to give you a hug if I could have and made it better." He stated quickly, though he must have realized what he'd said since there was a long pause on the other line.
Ar blushed a bit but she smiled at his words.
"Awe...now I wish I had called." She said giggling at the odd coughing noise he made into the receiver.
"Yes...well next time..." He said as she could hear the embarrassment in his voice.
"So are you ready to go?" She asked deciding to change the subject for the moment.
"Hmm? Oh yeah...Zen's still getting ready I figure it'll take him a bit so I made sure to get him up early. He complained when I did about not getting enough sleep to make his skin beautiful or something." He said snorting a bit.
Ar rolled her eyes at that statement though it sounded totally like Zen.
"Sounds about right...least you both got up. I was sorta afraid after last night you'd over sleep." She said remembering the night before.
If she could have seen Yoosung's face she was for sure he would have scrunched up his nose at bringing that up.
"Oh man...don't remind me of that. My head is still foggy from those meds..." He grumbled.
Ar nodded her head a bit.
"Well I'm glad you were able to at least get a bit of rest, you'll need it for the rest of the day." She said quietly as she rolled over on her back and stared up at the ceiling.
"I suppose...still didn't like it though. I'm sure I sounded like an idiot last night." He said the pout clear in his voice.
Ar smiled a little.
"Nah, you were drugged. I thought it was sorta cute truthfully..." She said biting her lip as she tried to keep from smiling.
"I am not cute...even when drugged." Yoosung stated huffing a little into the phone.
"I dunno you coulda fooled me..." She said in a teasing voice.
She could almost picture him rolling his good eye before sighing and giving in.
"Fine...fine, but just for you. I don't want to be cute for just anyone...drugged or not..." He said laughing gently before he sighed.
"I think Zen's out of the shower...we're not leaving for a bit. But I'm sure Zen will be all over me making sure we're ready to go." He said snorting a bit in laughter.
"Sounds about right..." She said smirking a bit as she sighed not wanting the conversation to end.
"Oh! I almost forgot to remind you...don't forget to have breakfast before you leave alright?" He stated his voice suddenly becoming serious.
Ar giggled a bit at the sudden change but she smiled and nodded to herself.
"I will, promise." She said her stomach suddenly rumbling a bit at his suggestion.
"Good...make sure to enjoy it for me. I can't eat anything until later...and I am starving..." He said his voice suddenly taking on a whiny note that caused Ar to laugh.
"Don't laugh...I didn't eat hardly anything yesterday at the party and I can't have anything today till after the surgery." He said sniffling dramatically.
Ar felt her face soften at his words.
"I'm sorry...I could fast with you if you like?" She suggested fully prepared to go through with it.
She could see him shaking his head before the words even came over the receiver
"No! I mean...sorry...just no. No sense in you suffering with me. Just please remember to keep up with your meals, I don't want you getting sick because of me! Besides just enjoy your food and I'll pretend I'm eating with you." He said his voice suddenly sounding chipper.
Ar giggled and smiled at his words her heart once again fluttering at his words.
"Alright...I'll pretend you're here with me too." She said quietly.
She could hear the smile in his voice as he spoke.
"Sounds great...I'll keep that in mind and it'll help me feel less hungry." He said chuckling as a sudden sound came from the background.
She heard him sigh into the receiver
"And there's Zen...guess I need to get going. I just wanted to hear your voice before we left." He admitted shyly.
Ar smiled at his words.
"That's fine...I really wanted to hear yours too. Get going and I'll see you in a little bit." She said glancing over at the clock on her night stand.
"Alright...talk to you soon my precious girl. Love you.." He said in a soft voice that made her heart flutter in her chest as she grinned.
"I love you too..." She said in the same soft whisper.
"Bye... Mwah!" He said quickly as he made a kissing sound into the receiver.
Ar felt her face flush as she smiled.
"Bye..." She said as the other end of the line went dead.
She giggled happily suddenly feeling like a little school girl as she laid back on her bed and held her phone chest and sighed.
She blinked as she heard her stomach rumble yet again, she let out another small sigh before she rolled off her bed.
Remembering to keep her promise she decided a quick breakfast would be good before making sure she had everything ready to go when the car Jumin had arranged arrived.
And that's it for chapter 1 folks! I'll be getting Chapter 2 out as soon as I can...I really hope you enjoy this story. I'll admit the first few chapters are going to be setting up a timeline and will prolly be cute and fluffy on the parts of Ar and Yoosung...
