I impatiently stood by the bus stop, waiting for the next bus to come.

*Aish, did the buses always take this long?* My watch read 4:13PM. I looked up at the orange sky. *Would he still be waiting for me?*     After a moment, the bus finally came. I quickly hopped on and found a seat. Tapping my foot and clasping my hand together, I prayed to the heavens. *I wish time would hurry up.*     Unexpectedly after a 15 minute ride, the bus got stalled in traffic added with the heavy snowfall. *Ah, what's with my luck today.*   I looked out the window and realized we were 2 blocks away from the beach. I quickly got up from seat. "Excuse me, I'm getting down!" The driver whipped his head around. "Eh? But we can't open the doors here. We'll have to-" "Please! It's important!" I plead, cutting him off.   The driver gulped, probably seeing my desperation. "Arasso. It seems really important.." He said and opened the doors. I smiled in delight and bowed. "Kamsahamnida ajussi!"     *Byunghun! Stupid Byunghun! Always making me go after him! Ah! I'm actually running this fast!*     But I have to go.   Otherwise, I feel that I may never find this chance to meet him again.   So now.. I have to use this courage.     That's right..   Running like a kid.   Run.   Run.   Run.   Just like how it all started.     *Oppa, I'm coming to meet you now. Make sure you wait for me!*     _____       *Ah. I made it.* I paused and tried to catch my breath.   Looking from left to right, the entire beach was barren. Of course, it's winter.   Empty. Except for one person in the distance.    Laying my eyes in his backview, the tears immediately came rushing out, as well as my feelings. "Pabo!"   He turned around and our eyes finally met. "Omo Hyerin! It's you!" I sniffed and bit my lip. "What's that supposed to mean! Idiot!" In response, he gave me his usual killer smile.   For a moment, time froze as our eyes drowned in each others, taking back all the lost time.   We both slowly walked towards one another, trailing behind footsteps that were imprinted in the cold and snowy sand.   "Mianhae." He suddenly blurted out. "Me too.." I nodded, wiping away my stray tears. "You're right. I am an idiot." His hand reached for mine. "Even though I promised I'd always watch over you, I lost sight of you halfway." A tear trailed down his cold cheek. "I ran away."   My free hand unconsciously raised up to wipe it away. "You didn't run away. You just strayed a little, and got a little lost is all. You're compass may have gotten broken but.." He held onto my hand tighter and trembled a little. "Hyerin.." His words came out as a squeak. "Say do you know? You are my compass."   As I gazed at his profile, my tears started to accumulate again. "You came back. You came back to me as I have to you."   His hand pulled me towards him and wrapped around my body. "Thank you.." I also hugged him back as our bodies melded with each other's. *This warmth that I've lost.. Is finally mine again..*   "You must be tired, right?" I nodded. "It must have painful, right?" Again, I nodded. "Really hard, right?" Yet again, I nodded, sniffing back my tears.   His fingers smoothly glided over my hair. "But it's alright now. You don't need to worry anymore. Stay here. And rest." *His heartbeat is in time with mine..* I grabbed the dark cloth of his thick jacket. "Oppa.. Is this.. A dream..?" "It's reality." He tightened his hug, reassuring me that it wasn't. "Thank you. Thank you for waiting for me." Hearing that, I smiled to myself.   "From now on, I'll give you all you want. Anything you want as much as you want, I'll give you." "Then oppa.." I backed up a bit and peeked up at him. "Could you give me this?" I pointed at the left side of his chest.   In response, he laughed. "What's with that!" "What's so funny?" I raised an eyebrow. Byunghun paused for a while. "You want my clothes?" He joked. I pouted and poked his chest. "Yah, I'm being serious here."   Byunghun suddenly s his a
