Tiffany POV

"Hey there, Fany-yah." Yuri said from the other line. With just him calling my name, it already gets me into tears.

"Hey." I answered as I wiped my cheeks.

He asked, "So… how are you? Have you been eating well?"

"I'm okay. Yes, I do eat a lot."

"Really?"

"Yes, really."

He chuckled, "You are still really bad at lying. Yoong told me on his letter you weren't."

I looked at Yoong and he just grinned in return. So it seems Yoong really did find out a way to communicate with Yuri while the latter's in prison.

"That was before… I started eating a lot again since uhh… yesterday."

"Fair enough. But I can't wait to see the thin you soon though."

"Yah. I wasn't that fat before."

He chuckled again, "Alright, alright. You weren't. But just a little, I guess?"

I smiled, "Shut up. So, how about you? Are you okay?"

"Well… to be honest, just few seconds ago, I was not. But when I heard your voice, it was like my energy's back to a hundred percent."

I chuckled, "Yah. I'm serious, okay. Stop with your pickup lines, please."

"I just missed throwing one lately, you know. I don't have anyone else around to flirt with since you've been gone."

I giggled, "I miss hearing one from you too."

"…Fany-yah?"

"Yeah?"

"I miss you… like so much. I miss everything about you."

Tears started to fall from my eyes again, "I miss you so much too."

"Wait for me there, okay? I'm only few miles away."

"Yes, I will."

"I'll be a little late though. I had to go on a detour. I have to steal a car or anything first."

"Ya. You shouldn't steal."

"Don't worry. I'll ask Yoong to return it later."

"You're becoming a little bit evil, lately, huh? Is that the influence of your prison mates? You should ask for the owner's permission first, okay?"

"Alright, alright. I'll try my best, my wife." And with him calling me that put a smile on my face. It indeed makes me reminisce our happy family life back then.

"…Fany-yah?" he called again.

"Yeah?"

His voice started to sound cracking up as he stated, "I'm sorry if I… disappointed you for so many times already… I'm sorry for… being a coward… or of not even trying to fight for you."

"No. You don't have to apologize. I understand why you decided that way."

"Still, I made a wrong decision... Well... It won't matter anymore as starting this day, we will be together. Then… it will be forever."

"Yes."

"I will not allow us to be separated again."

"Yes, we won't be anymore."

"So… was that a yes?"

I chuckled, "Huh? Was that a proposal?"

"Yeah. And also, I need an answer from you now so that I can buy a wedding ring on my way there too. Besides, you're already in a wedding dress, anyway, right?" he said and chuckled too.

"You know my answer will always be yes."

"Finally, you answered me straight... You know, I want to scream for joy here so much but, I'm afraid the police might find out my whereabouts."

"Yuri-yah..."

"Yeah?"

"Please be safe."

"Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."

"Just make sure, okay?"

"Okay, love."

"…"

"Fany-yah?"

"Hmm?"

"I love you."

"I love you."

"I love you."

"I love you."

"See you."

"See you."

He ended the call.

"See, noona? Yuri-hyung's okay. You're worrying too much over nothing." Yoong snapped and chuckled. We're currently inside his car as he drove to the rendezvous point, as how he called the place where Yuri and I will be reunited.

"Yeah…" I answered.

I wonder if he really is alright though I know Yuri just joked with his status earlier yet, I couldn't help myself but to still get worried. He's up against the entire police force in this and not to mention, several powerful people too.

"Noona…"

"…"

"Hey." He then stopped the car at the roadside. "Why are you crying again?"

I finally got snapped out then looked at him, "Huh?"

"There." He pointed at my cheeks.

I immediately wiped the tears off. "I'm sorry. It might just fell off for no reason."

He chuckled, "Was that even possible? What are you? Having an eye disorder or something?"

I sighed in defeat, "Alright. You got me. I'm just… still worried of him, you know."

He looked away as he smiled, "Hyung is a really strong person. He can never be brought down easily."

"I hope your right. I… I don't know what I will do if something bad happens to him."

He started the car engine again and continued the drive, "Relax. Don't think that way, okay? Have faith in him. He'll be fine. I'm sure of that."

After an hour of travel, we finally arrived at the rendezvous point. It was in a port bay in Incheon. A big yacht was also here which will be Yuri and I's means of escape as Yoong explained earlier. We will be transported to Busan and after that. We'll be travelling via ferry to Japan.

So, currently, we're just waiting for Yuri to arrive. Yoong, on the other hand, seemed to be so uneasy as he walks around back and forth most of the time while holding his phone, sometimes calling and messaging someone.

"Why is he taking so long?" I asked Yoong.

"Relax, noona. He'll get here soon."

I chuckled, "I'm not the one who's actually tensed right now, you know. Obviously, it's you."

He chuckled too in return and stopped from walking, "Me? I'm not tensed."

"Just spill it, please."

He sighed in defeat then, sat down beside me. "Supposedly, Hyung should have arrived here
