“Sweetheart?”

I startled on my seat as that deep voice called me back to earth, seems like I went to deep in my thoughts. I straightened on my seat, before facing the man right next to me, his left hand on the steering wheel as the other reaching for mine to hold. 

“Sorry, was I out for long?” I chuckled softly, letting his long fingers intertwined to mine, fitting like a puzzle piece as it warmed my skin instantly, despite the water droplets painting our car windows, making blurry colourful hues, traffic lights blending together with street signages. He squeezed my hand gently, shaking his head, “No, not really, but I think you missed out the part on us, deciding where to eat.” He glanced at me, lips tugged into a small smile yet it could lit the whole town in full brightness. 

Ah, this gentleman, Son Hyunwoo.

EPILOGUE for “Hold me tight, Hold me close” SERIES | words : 13,630 | Shownu x Kihyun | Hogwarts!AU | First Part (The Battle) | playlist : 1 2

i promised we shall not cry in this showki soft household y’all after the damage that i’ve done previously-- i feel this fuzzy feeling on making the hcs when shownu does little things that kihyun always does it’s just-- AAAAAHHHH I AM SOFT OKAY

Kihyun’s eyes fluttered open slowly, and his eyes greeted by the warm light that peeks in through the soft, thin curtains. A soft groan escaped from his lips as his throat dry from lack of hydration. How long was I out? He thought. He soon realised that he’s in the hospital wing in Hogwarts, familiar with the space, he let out a sigh of relief before his attention landed on a familiar figure, the first thing he saw, is Shownu. Still in a deep slumber despite he’s sitting right next to him, hand holding Kihyun’s softly and a strand of his brown locks covered one side of his eye. Kihyun smiled warmly at the sight, softly brushing Shownu’s hair to the back so he could see Shownu’s face much more clearer. 

“He’s been here for a couple weeks.” Madam Pomfrey softly said, holding a tray of potions and food for Kihyun. “I’ve been out for weeks?” The Ravenclaw replied that came out like a whisper, not wanting to wake Shownu up. Madam Pomfrey nodded as she put the tray on the night table next to Kihyun’s bed. “He hasn’t left your side since, except for classes and Quidditch matches— but he always comes back here for you.” Madam Pomfrey sits on the other side of the bed, eyes softly looked at the sleeping Shownu then to Kihyun. “I can really tell that he loves you.” She smiled, patting Kihyun’s leg, chuckling softly. Kihyun’s lips tugged into a shy smile, as Madam Pomfrey start to tell him what he’s been missing out for the past few weeks.

Shownu still holding Kihyun’s body on his arms as he approached Madam Pomfrey after the battle is ended; he looked so distressed that Madam Pomfrey immediately rushed them to the Hospital Wing. As soon as they reached the Hospital Wing, Shownu softly put Kihyun onto one of the empty beds, brows furrowed in worry as he watched Madam Pomfrey and the other medical staffs tending Kihyun’s wound, checking his unconscious state. “Will he be alright?” Shownu kept his eyes locked on Kihyun’s body, lips quivering as he tried to catch his breath. “Will he be okay, Madam Pomfrey?” A tone of worry evident on his words, and Madam Pomfrey turned around to Shownu. “We will do whatever we could, okay? We will do our best.” She calmed and reassured Shownu before closing the blinds so that the staff are able to do minor operations for Kihyun’s internal wounds. Since then, Shownu kept coming back to check on Kihyun. Whenever he’s back in Gryffindor’s dorm, he couldn’t sleep as his thoughts wanders back to Kihyun, that’s when he decided to sleep at the Hospital Wing whenever he visit Kihyun. At first, Madam Pomfrey urged Shownu to sleep back in the dorms, but looking how Shownu is sleeping soundly, holding Kihyun’s hand; she let it pass for him. Seems like Shownu found peace and comfort whenever he knew that Kihyun is alright. 

After Quidditch practices, Shownu found himself sitting next to Kihyun’s bed, softly rambling about how his practices went, how he almost got knocked out by a raging Bludger. Even after matches, Shownu tending his wound still right next to Kihyun’s bed. As if, Kihyun is right there listening to him just like the old times when Kihyun tending to Shownu’s bruised and minor wounds while the oldest ranting how Slytherin grouped up to beat him down, earning soft chuckle from Kihyun, 

“Yet you still managed to stay on your broom and didn’t fell down.”

“Perhaps, i’m pretty lucky?”

“No, you’re really strong, Shownu, I have to admit that.”

Sometimes at night, Shownu slipped into the Hospital Wing, bringing his own blanket and took a seat next to Kihyun. He tossed the blanket, covering Kihyun because he knew that Kihyun really love that blanket smell on Shownu, so he brought the blanket for Kihyun so eh could feel much comfortable in the cold Hospital Wing. He held Kihyun’s hand, and his thumb softly caressing the back of Kihyun’s hand. Shownu casted a spell, from his wand, escaped a dark blue-purplish mist with blinking starlights adorned on the mist, replicating the night sky during times both of them spend the night stargazing at the Astronomy Tower. “In case he woke up at night, he loves stargazing.” He reasoned to Madam Pomfrey that night.

Shownu knew Kihyun isn’t the flower bouquet kind of guy, but he knew that Kihyun always spend his time reading in the gardens filled with grass fields and wildflowers blooms here and there. Shownu decided to pick up a few wildflowers on the road when he and the rest of the boys are on their way back from Hogsmeade. “Shownu hyung!” Changkyun called, Shownu quickly stood up with a hand full of wildflowers. “You’re picking up flowers?” the younger skipped to approach Shownu, smile widely painted on his face. “Yeah. Just so Kihyun is not bored in the Hospital Wing, sometimes that place can be a little bit dull, you know?” Shownu replied, ruffling Changkyun’s hair. “Let’s go back, it’s getting late.”  While on the way back, some of the boys joked, “What if Kihyun hyung woke up with an amnesia? You know, what if he couldn’t remember any one of us?” Minhyuk exclaimed, “I bet all my sherbet lemons that Shownu hyung would be the first one he remembers,” “Or even the first one to show up since he has to be the first person Kihyun see anyway.” Jooheon shrugged, “I mean, he’s always right there. I bet he’s the first person Kihyun sees when he wakes up.” Shownu only listened to them bickering and talking, a flutter in his heart shook him as his heartstring tugged, missing Kihyun day by day. He missed when Kihyun always took Changkyun’s hand to make sure he doesn’t wander off alone, or maybe when Kihyun debates with Minhyuk on where to eat dinner with the boys, or maybe when Hyungwon just clings onto Kihyun for his perfect height for Hyungwon to rest his arms onto Kihyun’s shoulders.

So Shownu decided that every once in two days, he would change the flowers on the small vase, and Madam Pomfrey paid attention that Shownu always brought in wildflowers instead of those lavish bouquets. A warm smile always apparent on Madam Pomfrey’s face watching Shownu’s soft feelings towards the Ravenclaw. 

In classes, Shownu isn’t the type to write down all the notes. But Wonho caught something different in Shownu this time. He tediously wrote everything down on his parchment paper, taking smallest details of informations during classes, diligently asking questions if there are things unclear for him. Wonho thought perhaps because OWLs is coming up but no, “Just to make sure Kihyun is catching up with classes when he wakes up.” Shownu simply replied as he placed a stack of notes into his bag. “You’re really out there for him, don’t you?” Wonho teased, shoving Shownu’s shoulder playfully only to be replied with a shy chuckle. “Keep doing that and I bet you can be an Auror within the first test.” Wonho chuckled, fascinated on how lovestruck Shownu is for Kihyun. He couldn’t imagine how would it be for Shownu if he really lost Kihyun, and now he is glad that both of them survived after the battle. It broke Wonho’s heart to watch Shownu been out of place for the first couple days to not have any news from Madam Pomfrey herself about Kihyun’s wellbeing. But after he was told that Kihyun is alright, the heavy sigh of relief escaped from Shownu. That’s when Wonho knew about Shownu’s feelings for Kihyun. It wasn’t apparent or straight-forward at first, but those small things he does for Kihyun, shows more than just words.

On break times, Madam Pomfrey saw Shownu busy with his own book while munching on pumpkin pasties and there are a few pies placed on the night table as he ready through his notes. “Shownu, are you going to eat all of that? You might get an upset stomach..” Madam Pomfrey mentioned, but he just shook his head and a smile lit up on his face. “In case he woke up feeling hungry. He loves pumpkin pasties.” Shownu nodded his head to the sleeping Kihyun. 

Those small moments repeated from days, to weeks. Madam Pomfrey knew at that point, Kihyun is really someone very special for Shownu. So she let Shownu to visit Kihyun whenever he likes, even giving him a permission if he’d like to stay for the night accompanying Kihyun. 

Shownu’s hand won’t let go off from Kihyun’s when he’s fast asleep, sometimes a tear escaped from his eyes because how much he is afraid of losing Kihyun and grateful washed over that fears when he watch Kihyun’s faint, soft, and steady breathing escaped. He promised himself, to watch over Kihyun, to protect him. This kind of nights, where he always painted the Hospital Wing’s ceiling into dark skies filled with stars glittering the silent room, the quietness surrounding both him and Kihyun. 

“You know, tomorrow’s the full moon. You always mentioned to me that you wanted to see a full moon in the Astronomy Tower but too scared because you might hear a howling sound.” Shownu chuckled softly as he caresses Kihyun’s hand. “So, maybe tomorrow we can see it and i’m gonna reassure you that there will be no werewolves nearby— or even Peeves. You always hate him for scaring you, don’t you?” Shownu clearly misses Kihyun’s voice, the small talks they shared at night, and all he want right now is to Kihyun to wake up and tell him that everything is okay now. For the past few days, he saw the way Kihyun’s live, his perspective from Kihyun’s point of view since Shownu had to fill in Kihyun’s chores within the group; and how much admiration he got for the younger, his loves for Kihyun grows when he saw the smallest thing he could’t see at first, but now, he saw these hidden colours of his life through Kihyun’s eyes just by doing small things that reminds him of Kihyun. His train of thoughts cut off when he could feel tears starts to pool on his eyes, oh how he miss Kihyun’s lively and charming presence. “Why am I crying— I know that you’re okay—“ He chuckled softly, embarrassed that he, Shownu, the one who never cries, now letting his silent tears fall. He wiped off the tears with his sleeve, sighing softly before looking at the sleeping Kihyun. “I— I really miss you.” He said, words came out like a faint whisper as he lowered his head. “God— you have to know how scared I am when you weren’t moving at that time, I couldn’t even hear you breathing— I thought, I lost you.” He sniffled, looking at Kihyun once more. Shownu, the person who’s known for being mostly reserved, only with Kihyun he could make more than two sentences. “It’s the worst feeling I felt, especially the thought, the thought of not having you— it’s killing me.” Shownu let out his feelings in front of Kihyun, he knew that perhaps, the latter doesn’t hear him anything, but deep down, he believe Kihyun could feel what he’s trying to say. “Wake up, soon, Kihyun. I miss you.” He planted a soft kiss on the back of Kihyun’s hand he held onto, before carried himself to sleep still holding hands.

After Madam Pomfrey finished her story, Kihyun’s tears rolled down onto his cheeks, not that he’s sad— it’s the overwhelming joy that he felt rushes immediately into his veins, “I’ll leave you two be.” Madam Pomfrey excused herself out, giving a time and space for both of them alone. Kihyun saw Shownu’s blanket covered half of his body, the scent that made his heart skipped a beat. Kihyun could feel Shownu stirred in his sleep, so he reached out to brush another strand of Shownu’s hair away, waking him up slowly. “Ki?” Shownu’s voice came out like a soft, silk feather. “Good morning,” Kihyun’s lips tugged into a wide smile, both of thair hands holding onto each other like a final puzzle piece. “How’s your sleep?” Kihyun’s eyes landed on that soft smile Shownu gave when he woke up, but suddenly a squeak escaped from his lips when Shownu immediately hugged him. “Oh, hello.” Kihyun chuckled, then automatically wrapped his arms around Shownu’s neck, his fingers gently caressing through Shownu’s hair. Kihyun could feel the wetness forming on the crook of his neck, “Hey, Shownu.” Panicked, Kihyun pulled away to cup Shownu’s cheeks, “Hey, hey. Don’t cry, I’m not dead— yet.” He said, wiping off Shownu’s silent tears with his thumbs. The older couldn’t make any sentence out as joy, happiness, and his endless longing crashed into a jumbled up emotions. 

“You have no idea—“ 

“Oh I think I know, Shownu. Madam Pomfrey told me everything.”

Shownu’s cheeks radiates in hues of red, earning a soft chuckle escaped from Kihyun. “Thank you,” Kihyun sighed in content, caressing Shownu’s soft cheek with his hand as the other holding onto Shownu’s hand. He smiled widely when Shownu nuzzled his cheek closer to Kihyun’s hand, oh how much he love the feeling around the young Ravenclaw. Kihyun’s heart beats fast, but knowing that the first thing he saw is Shownu, he’s sure that this is the sight he always want to see every time he woke up in the morning. He knew that he couldn’t be discharged anytime soon, but he’s content to have Shownu by his side.

Shownu leaned in closer, foreheads touching with each other, “I miss you.” He said softly, “I— I couldn’t imagine if I lost you, Ki. Especially when I didn’t managed to save you—“ Kihyun stopped Shownu’s sentence by crashing his lips onto Shownu’s, he couldn’t contain the feelings inside his heart that screams and tugged for the Gryffindor in front of him. Kihyun pulled away quickly, realising what he’d done, shoot I should’ve think twice before acting, he thought. But Shownu quickly pecked Kihyun’s lips once more, “I won’t let you die, not before until I said my feelings for you.” He said, eyes locked onto Kihyun’s hazel irises. Both of their hearts calling out for each other, and just right at that moment, fate was in both of their hands. 

“After all this time, Shownu?”

“Always.”

Remember you told me that love isn't blind. It's more like you're watching the world, Through a new set of eyes, Finding the colors that usually hide.

Oh I don't know where I'm going, I don't know where I'll be, But it doesn't matter. 'Cause every morning, When I wake you're the first thing I see.

Here I am again, sitting alone in the darkness right on the driver’s seat. To be honest, I, I don’t really know what’s happening, what’s going on my mind but all I’m sure of, I couldn’t stop thinking about you. It’s hard. It’s past 5 minutes and I haven’t start my car, yet all I’ve been doing here is just sighing, brushing my hair back in hopes to brush off all of my unanswered thoughts about you. The sound of engines revving, the vibrations and the sudden warmth emitted from around the car snapped me back to reality. Seems like it’s another late-night drive then. 

I passed through few shops that are still lit with dimmed lights, neon signs that seeps through the car window, basking my skin with purple and pink hues. The silence of the night always gets me. Solitude, serenity, but voices starts to clawing up in the back of my mind. Perhaps, it’s time to blast some songs; to chase the dark thoughts and memories away as I drive through the night.
