Hue of pink orange mixed with purple painted the sky as the sun set by the horizon of Santa Monica beach. Jaehyun watches the sun as it begins to disappear, he takes a deep breath. This is his last day in California after two months staying there working with a producer for his new album. To think that it has been 7 years after he did the performance that he didn’t know will change his life that much. He checks his watch, it should be 11 AM in Seoul right now. He pulls out his phone and dial a number.

“Hi Jaehyun” a sweet voice picks up the call

“Good morning” he smiles

“How was your day?” the girl said

“It’s been good. We got everything finalized today, the boss also said that this might be my best work yet”

“That’s really good Jaehyun! I can’t wait to hear it”

“You will soon. One of them is about you though, I think you’ll know it when you listen to it” He chuckles

“You do know that you don’t have to do that in every album though right Jaehyun” the girl can be heard laughing

“I know, but I want to…...hey…” He pauses

“What?”

“I miss you a lot” he sighs

“Me too…..we’ll see each other soon though”

“Hmmm” he hums “how’s your book going?” he asks

“It’s been going well! I’m having a bit of a writer block right now but Taeyong helped me yesterday with brainstorming for ideas. I hope I can write it well”

“You will, I believe in you….how is Taeyong by the way?” he asks

“Oh he’s been well. He seems happy when I called him to help me yesterday, still with Yuta, I think they’re moving in together in Tokyo”

“That’s really good to hear. He does seems happy with Yuta, I saw his facebook post every now and then and they’re always going out somewhere. You know what we should visit them in Japan someday. Doyoung also has a branch in Japan, so maybe we can go when he’s there too”

“Doyoung actually visits me yesterday, with his and your father. They’re delivering this wine and chocolate they got from Paris from their business trip”

“How are they doing?”

“Doyoung seems really happy and smiley, as usual. It’s hard to believe that he’s going to actually take over the company next year, with all the merging business with your father’s company too? Who would’ve thought. Your father though, he can’t stop talking about you and how well you’re doing”

“Weird huh, to hear that from him? To think that even after winning the competition he’s still a bit opposed of the idea of me being a musician but then he starts to accept it. Good that Doyoung is my best friend, at least it feels somewhat like another son is taking over the company for him” Jaehyun laughs

“Really though Jaehyun, he’s really proud of you” Jaehyun can picture her genuine smile as she said it.

“Yeah...I’m glad. Well...I’ll see you tomorrow as soon as i landed”

“Yes! Hey...Jaehyun..”

“Hm?”

“I love you”

“I love you too” Jaehyun replies

Jaehyun walks by the pier, he smiles to himself  as he reaches a box in his pocket. He opens the box and takes the ring he just bought earlier in the day. He examines it as the ring glows reflecting the remaining lights from the sun. He put the ring back in the box then his pocket, then he takes a deep breath. As he walks back he can't stop thinking about how much he can't wait to spend the day with her tomorrow and maybe also his life.
