Plot
Yunho is an idol and Hana is his non-celebrety girlfriend, they are dating for five years, but their relationship is a bit clumsy as they both have difficult time with his schedule. As Yunho is not really expressing his emotions to her, she has difficuilty to figure out what she should do. On their anniversary, he surprises her when he visits her in her workplace and finally tells her how he feels. Is it too late or not?

 

    Camera flashes and fan screams could be heard for miles.  Security had to keep the screaming fans in line as the fans watched their idol go across the sidewalk to the car that was waiting for him.  He sat down in the luxery vehicle and put the screen up like his manager would always tell him to do. 

He took his bold sunglasses off and rubbed his forehead.  He yawned and sat back in the chair as the car drove off and away from the crowd of fans.  He watched the fans with a small smile.  Even after years of being around, the fans are still in love with him.  These are the fans that will stick with me,  He told himself, the newer Kpop fans will most likely never know who I am.  Even with my solo debut.


Jung Yunho–age thirty-three–released his first solo MV this morning.  He was just in the buildng he performed his song in, and is currently on his way back to his dorm.  He sighed and took out his phone, seeing many texts missed.

The texts were from his one and only since five years ago.  She was everything to him.  If he ever had a hard time during his military enlistment, his mind would always wander back to her voice.  He sighed as he realized she's been trying to contact him all week.  However, preparing for his solo debut, he's totally forgotten to return her messages and calls.  Exhaustion mixed with working has prevented him from contacting his other friends as well.


He turned the display of his phone off when the car made it to his dorm.  He bowed to his manager and the driver before he was escorted up the stairs from the garage to the hallway of elevators.  He selected the third floor and walked through the hallways of other artists' rooms. 

He opened his room door and threw his bag onto the couch.  He decided to take a shower before laying down in bed.  That's when he took out his phone and looked at all of the messages.

Best respond now before I fall asleep.  He thought as he started reading from the very first message that was sent this morning.


Hana (5:05am)
You're awake at this time,
right?  How was your sleep?


Hana (5:30am)
I'm going to guess you
started practicing for
tonight.  I really liked
your music video! <3


Hana (8:55am)
Just got to work.  I'll
be able to text back at
5pm!


Hana (12:01pm)
*Sigh* lunch break.
Make sure you eat plenty!


Hana (5:02pm)
Just got off of work.  Darn
these ladies can be
rude.. I'm hungry,
have you eaten yet?


Hana (8pm)
You're going to be
performing soon~  I can't
wait.  I'm going to eat
some candy while
watching. <3


Hana (9pm)
That was a great
performance!  I think I
fell in love again :*


Hana (10:08pm)
I think I will be heading
to bed soon.. Love you
<3


Yunho felt guilty.  She wrote him literally all day and he hasn't written one thing.  He cracks his neck and stares at the keyboard.  He pressed one key before taking another moment to think about what to reply with.  He realized that there were probably bubbles bouncing on the girl's screen if she's watching it.  He shook his head.

Yunho (10:10pm)
I'm sorry for not replying
at all, love.  Thank you
for supporting me
still <33


Hana (10:12pm)
As long as you still
love me, that's all I care
about.  That and your
health.  Make sure you
eat.

Yunho smiles at her attitude.


Yunho (10:15pm)
I can't opperate without
food (or without you) ;) 
You need to get some
sleep though. We woke up
at about the same time.


Hana (10:18pm)
I don't have work tomorrow
(Thankfully!!) 


Yunho (10:21pm)
Don't be afraid to tell me
about your day at work.  I
read every one of your
texts <3


Hana (10:24pm)
Awh~~  Okay.. I need
to sleep.. you do too.
Love you!


Yunho (10:25pm)
I love you too.  :*



Yunho has a bad way with words.  Hana always says he sounds dreamy with anything he says, but he always has his doubts.  She must feel hated..  And he feels guitly for her having to put up with his always-busy self.  He sighed and put his phone down on the charger on the nightstand.

He turned off the lamp and went inside the bed.  As he was starting to fall asleep, he instantly thought of an idea.  He picked up his phone one more time before actually going to bed. 

He hummed before falling asleep completely.

Hana was with her friends today.  It was her day off and she didn't hesitate to sleep in a little bit though  She cracked her neck before popping open a bottle of tea.  She and her two friends were relaxing in the park with their backs against a bench.

"So,"  one girl spoke, "how's you know?"

Hana laughed.  "Yunho?  He's.. he's quite busy these days."  She said with a forced smile.


"Busy?  Oh yeah, he's a singer, isn't he?"  The other girl asked, scratching her head.  "Seems pretty lucky to have a celebrity boyfriend, but a bummer that he's never around."


Hana nodded and sighed.  "At least he texts me still.  I don't know what I would do if he just started ignoring me."  She laughed before sipping on some of that sweet tea. 

"Have you thought of breaking up?"

Hana put the drink in her lap.  "No, Sara, never."  She said seriously.  "We're serious, it's just that he's famous.  That's all.  I knew what I was getting into." 

"What if he wants to break up with you but is afraid to say it?"  The other girl asked.


Hana shook her head.  "Yunho is just a bit childish sometimes.  He'll figure something out that works for both of us and makes us happy, he always does."  He assured both of them.


Inside, Hana just hopes what she said is true.  Not once has she had the imagination of breaking up with him.  There have been a few times where she felt like he was getting disinterested, but their relationship will never close on her account.  They continue with relaxing and watching nature in the park.


Meanwhile, Yunho had an interview.  This interview wasn't live, but not too many answers get edited out for it.  He sat there, answering the usual questions the interviewer asks for each comeback.  The questions were roughly the same each time—whether it's for a solo artist or a group. 

"How does it feel to have a solo song?"  She asked with her lips smiling naturally.

Yunho let out a happy breath.  "I feel independent and free.  But I'm getting a lot of support from my bandmates and other artists."  He answered with his hands clasped.

"Fans are wondering this these days,"  she started, "you mentioned that you have a girlfriend.  Are you two still dating?" 


Yunho kept his smile as he nodded.  "Yes.  I hope to spend some free time talking to her later."  He responded.

"How does she feel about your tight schedule?  Does it raise any conflicts?"  She asked cautiously, knowing that she's getting into a territory she's happy isn't being shot live.


Yunho coughed a bit to clear his throat.  "I'm a bit disappointed that she hasn't been getting enough attention, but so far things are still working out..."  He answered honestly. 


The lady took the hint of his sentence trailing off to stop talking about it.  "And how does your family think about your solo debut?"  She asked.

Yunho's smile came back when the subject changed.  "They're really happy and impressed.  Thank you~"  He put his thumb up toward the camera.


After a few more questions, Yunho's time on the show was finished.  The interview is to be broadcasted in a few days after they edit some things.  It was the night time again by the time Yunho got back to his dorm.

He was a bit upset that there weren't any texts waiting for him.  However, he remembered that today was her day off and so she probably wanted to forget all of her stress–including him.  I'll make it up to you.

It was a couple weeks later.  Hana flipped her hair out of her eyes as she heard the bell ring at the front door.  She straightened her shirt and walked up to the entrance.  She noted how well these ladies were already dressed.  Regardless, she stood there waiting to help the ladies find something they might be looking for. 

"Young lady,"  the old woman called, "do you by chance have anything that is as good as the clothes I'm wearing now?"  She asked.


Hana let an aggrivated sigh escape in her thoughts as she kept her smile on her lips.  "Would you like to keep with the flower patterns and dresses?  Or are are you looking for something else?" 

"Flowers, Dear."  She answered.


She bowed and showed her the way to where she would suppose this lady would find anything interesting.  Hana works at a clothing department store.  She fits clothes for women, checks them out, and there are even some of her own designs in the shop.  She lead the woman to the flower-designed, dark dresses.

Being that she's worked in this story for six years, she's come to the point she can match personality to clothes well.  It was quite savage at times. 

"Why did you lead me to the dark section?"  The lady asked in an upset tone as she looked at a black dress with a red-rose print.

"I figured that would fit your mood today, Ma'am."  She said with a bow as she noticed the older was wearing lighter colors.  "Why would you want the same style if you're looking for a different piece of clothing?"


The lady clicked her tongue.  "The light clothes are just over there."  Hana directed with her whole hand and not her pointer finger.

The bell at the front door went off again.  "If you'll excuse me,"  she bowed, "please call me when you're ready to try on the clothes."  She said before leaving to the front door.


Her friends also worked at this place, but they're currently working with some other customers.  She made it to the door and stopped when she saw a man.

"Y-Yunho?"  His face was covered with a mask, but his eyes were a give-away.  "What are you doing here?" 

Yunho looked down at his watch.  "You get off of work in an hour, right?"  He asked.

Hana nodded.  "Y-yes.."  She stuttered.


Yunho copied the nod.  "Alright, I will wait one hour."  He raised his index finger before removing his mask.  "With you."


Hana's cheeks flushed.  "Alright.."  She smiled a bit. 


Yunho watched Hana retreat back to the old lady.  Changmin was right.  She did get surprised when I got here!  Love advice from bandmates could be great or could be horrible.  All Yunho knows is that he's not good with this sort of thing.  He wanted to follow Hana, but then he remembered that this is a woman's dress shop.  Going further in could make some of the women there upset.


He took a seat on a chair that was near to the entrance.  I just hope this is a good idea.  He had his doubts on Changmin's advice, but it's the only thing he can do right now.  He wants to make Hana feel loved.


The whole hour passed by and ended with the last customer.  The old lady made her way to the check out with Hana, looking at Yunho with an upset glare.

"What is this man doing in here loitering?"  She clicked her tongue.

Hana gave a small smile.  "My boyfriend is waiting to take me home."  She replied as she ran the numbers through the cash register.

"Pfft, I'm sure the men wouldn't let you wait in their shop for anything."  She folded her arms and gave one more mad glare before taking her wallet out.

Yunho silently sighed and looked down at the floor.

"Please don't give that tone about him, Ma'am.  He's a very good man."  She defended casually as she took the bills from the woman. 

The woman clicked her tongue again before picking up the bag full of clothes she just bought.  "One day you'll understand, Dear.  All these men want is to make us their slaves."


Hana rolled her eyes and took her apron off.  "I need to close up now, thank you for shopping here."  She gave a fake, happy tone. 


The woman left.  "Ugghhhh!"  Hana threw her apron across the room and into the basket.  "One more and I think I would have exploded!"  She yelled before holding her forehead.


Yunho stood up and took her hand.  "Let's forget about her, hm?"  He tried to console, but he saw that Hana just gave another upset glare.  "Sorry.."

Hana smiled a bit and playfully slapped his shoulder.  "You didn't do anything wrong, Yunho."  She put her arms around his waist and put her face against his chest.


He her hair.  "I want to spend time with you this evening."  He stated with a small smile.


Hana pulled away from the hug and nodded.  "Okay,"  she held her hips, "let's go." 


They walk together until they reach her apartment.  He sat down on her khaki couch and held her hands.  "I've been thinking about this for awhile.."  He said slowly, "you don't get the attention you need."


Hana stays silent but her breath hitches.  She has always dreaded this conversation.  "Today's our anniversary, you know.."  he mentioned, "I didn't forget about it, but I almost wasn't able to get off of my schedule to visit." 


"Oh..  You didn't visit me last year at this time.."  She said aloud in a mutter.


Yunho nodded and looked into her eyes.  "I realized that.. But I had a schedule last year and.. Hana, I'm really sorry that I haven't been talking to you too much recently."

Hana shook her head.  "You don't have to-"

"I do have to apologize.  Every time I text you or call you, all I want to do is apologize, but I don't know how to say it.. I want to tell you how much I love you every day, but.."


Hana's eyes were starting to get a bit watery.  "You really do still love me?"  She asked in an almost-whisper.

"I love you so much."  He admitted, bringing her into a hug.  "And I'm so sorry.."  He held her tightly.


Hana started palming at his chest.  "Get- off-!"  She tried telling.  When he pulled away, she gathered her breath back.  "Don't kill me with love, Yunho."  She said in a small laugh.


Yunho put their lips together softly as he held her hands–linking their fingers.  In a swift action, Yunho was on the floor against the couch on his knees.  She looked down at him with confusion.

"Yunho?"

"Go Hana,"  he started, "will you marry me?"


Her eyes widen as the question took her a minute to process.  "Jung. Yunho.  Why are you like this?"  She asked.

"I want us to be together, Hana.  If we're married, we'll see more of each other, talk to each other, come home to each other–I've missed you so much."  He confessed. 


Hana furrowed her eyebrows as she took in all of his statements.  "I.. I.."

"I'm sorry that I'm bad at saying these things, you must think I'm crazy.."  He looked down at the brown carpet and let go of her hands.


"Yunho,"  she said softly, "are you being serious with me?  You want this?"

Yunho gave a defeated nod.  "I want us to grow old together, Hana."  He said as he made eye contact once more


Hana read his eyes for a minute before nodding.  "Alright, as long as this isn't putting damage on your career."

"Never!  You come first!"  He raised his voice.

She smiled and shook her head.  "You're too cute, Yunho.."  She commented.  "You better give me cute faces while performing later, okay?"


He nodded and hugged her.  "I love you, Hana."

"I love you too."  She whispered.



 

As always, thank you for requesting!
I hope this had the romance that you were looking for and that it didn't have too much angst in it.
