Chapter Text
15 Years Later...
Ge Ge, it's me, Taozi. 2 long years have passed since I've seen you and the rest of my hyungs. So that's why I am here, writing this letter and once you receive it, I hope that you'll write one back.
How have you been lately? Appa and Baba told me that you graduated from university a year early. Congratulations, Ge Ge! You've always been really smart and that's one of the many things that I admire about you.
A lot of things have changed since you've left, but I'm too lazy to write them all one by one, lol. I'll tell you the really important things:
Appa and Baba are planning on moving back to China sometime next year. Baba misses his family, and Appa will be the new CEO of grandpa's company in China. He said that the company is expanding to Europe really soon and you will be the CEO of his company in America. I think that's pretty cool! You all deserve it :)
Baekhyun hyung is a trainee at this major company in Seoul called SM Entertainment. He can sing really, really good, Ge. You should hear him! I'm really happy for Baekhyun hyung, he always said that he wanted to be a singer. I hope everything works out for him.
Speaking of Baekhyun, he has a girlfriend named Taeyeon! She's really pretty and she's also a trainee at SM Entertainment. They've been dating since 7th grade. I think they're pretty cute together.
Uncle Jongin and Uncle Chanyeol are getting remarried this summer. Uncle Jongin wants to get married in the Caribbean on a nice Island called Saint Lucia. We're all invited to go, so I hope that you'll be coming along, too Ge!
And lastly, Sehun confessed to me last week during one of our school's basketball tournaments. I was so shocked, Ge! I've always had a crush on him since we were around 10. It makes me really happy to know that he also likes me back. We've already talked to Appa, Baba, Uncle Minseok and Uncle Jongdae about it and they gave us a talk. You know, about 'the birds and the bees' /insert eyeroll here/. Sehun and I just listened silently, we already know about sex. We learned about it in school. We just started dating like 3 days ago, so there's nothing to worry about. We won't rush into anything crazy.
Also, Appa and Baba were thinking about taking me to get tested. They wanted to know if I have the same traits of being a carrier like Baba. Sehun already had his test done, but his came back negative. It's kind of sad, though. I think that a pregnant Sehun would've been really cute, lol. Oh, wait... he's a brat, so nevermind.
That's all of the important stuff that I can think of at the moment, Ge Ge, but there are a few things that I would like to say to you before I finish this letter.
Appa, Baba, and I were talking about a lot of old memories while looking at pictures earlier today. Baba took out a lot of our old clothes, toys, and awards from school and showed it to me. While he was sorting through your old stuff, he found a letter that you wrote when you were 8 years old. It was a letter that you wrote to me before I was born.
We were all really touched from your kind words and Baba cried because he and Appa felt really proud of you. All of your promises were kept, Ge. I remember those times when I was sick or afraid, you would hold me and give me a lot of cuddles and kisses. It made me feel a lot better, because I knew that you would take care of me, just like you promised.
I remember when I took my first bath alone. Appa said that I was a big boy and I could get into the tub by myself without needing someone to make sure I scrubbed myself clean. He said that since I was a big boy, I didn't need to share bath time with you anymore. I was a little sad at first, but I wasn't anymore because you brought me an arm full of all of your favorite toys from bath time when you were my age. Just like you promised.
Remember when we went to the park with Luhan Ge, and Sehun? Some of the older kids picked and teased Sehun and I because we were short and they pushed us into the sandbox. One kid gave Sehun a wedgie and his friend took my favorite football (the one that you got me for my birthday) away from me and wouldn't give it back.
You and Luhan Ge beat them up and then took Sehun and I home so we could get cleaned up. They never bothered us again, because you were there to protect us. Just like you promised.
Remember those times when I wanted to go to the store, but I wasn't old enough to go alone? You would always stop whatever you were doing just to take me to the store. Even if you didn't have to. Even though your friends were playing with you. You always held my hand and once we reached the store, you would buy me anything I wanted with your allowance money.
I always wondered why you did all of those things for me, Ge. Even though I didn't do anything for you in return. Didn't that bother you sometimes? If it did, you never complained about it. I admire you for that, too.
There's so many memories inside my head right now, but I'll never finish this letter if I tried to list them all, lol. I will end the letter right here for now.
I love you and I hope to see you really soon!
Thank you, Ge Ge!
Love always,
Zitao.
