Moms´words and fears.
Before you leave¨Don`t say anything¨ - He interrupted, feeling extremely guilty for raising his voice. ¨I’m sorry, I didn’t came here to make you feel bad. Are you seriously okay?¨ She lifted her head trying to smile and nodded.
¨My ankle just hurts a bit. ¨ - Sora mentioned to try to break the awkward atmosphere. Before she had time to realize it Leeteuk was on his knees in front of her.
¨Oppa¨ - She whined a bit blushing once again. ¨You don’t have to¨
¨I want to, please¨- Without any permission his slender cold fingers reached under her dress gently massaging her ankle. She was shocked by his boldness, skin ship between them wasn’t something new but it was mostly for the camera and with her approval. She relaxed into his touch. Leeteuk secretly wished to linger upwards, she had beautiful legs and it was some kind of fantasy to touch them, he had done it before, giving her a massage too but he wanted to do it in a more intimate matter.
¨I miss you¨ - He thought out loud not really caring. Moments like this were the ones that hit him with reality. He was going off to the army soon, which meant not seeing his loved ones as often. And that meant not seeing Kang Sora for the entire two years. Heck, it was hard getting to see her now; he knew they probably wouldn’t see each until he came back and maybe not after that. A lot of things could happen in two years, she was young and beautiful. A whole bunch of guys would do just about anything to be with her. This was the last time they would see each other before his enlistment.
Kang Sora was aware that the time had come for the Super Junior leader to serve the country. It made her heart ache not knowing about him for a whole two years. When she thought about Leeteuks´ enlistment a conversation she had with her mom a few years ago would pop into her head.
Just a day before her father went off he proposed to Soras´ mom. They had been dating for quite some time and when he had to enlist Soras father asked his now wife to see other people, he didn’t feel like it was fair to make her wait, her feelings could change and she had the right to do whatever her heart desired.
¨Your father was scared by the thought of me finding someone else, and I was scared by the exact same thing. Just because men go to the army doesn’t mean they’re locked up from the world, the men in the army come across women. Since we started dating in High School I though he would change his mind about me, saying something like that, that I was just a high school crush. I had a lot of thoughts back then, but I decided to wait for him because I chose to love him. Loving someone is not only a feeling, but a decision as well. When you choose to love someone, you choose to stand by them no matter what situation he goes through, happy moments, sad moments, family matters, hard decisions, stress, tears, mood swings. You’ll be surprised of often men have those ¨ - She remember laughing at that last part.
¨I snuck out of my house the night before he enlisted to go to his place and I told him my decision, if he didn’t want me after two years then I would let him go. That’s how we got engaged, he proposed to me with a flower he picked out of his moms garden, but he gave me a ring later on¨
¨Someday you’ll have to go through the exact same thing, watching the person you love leave to serve the country, it´s going to seem like the end of the world, but its not. If the two of you make the decision to love each other then it will only make your relationship stronger.¨
When she first heard this story, she felt warmth inside her but now reminiscing her moms’ words she felt something different.
¨Oppa¨ She said almost in a whisper getting Leeteuks attention, she grabbed him by his shoulders and pulled him up making him sit next to her. Leeteuk who seemed to be in a trance didn’t even protest.
¨Oppa are you okay?¨ - Sora asked honestly concerned.
¨Yeah¨- He smiled, or a least he tried to.
¨Talk to me¨ She placed her soft hand over his.
¨I’m just... scared I guess. For the past six, almost seven years I’ve been in front of a camera. I’ve taken care of the members for even longer than that. All of us have worked so hard not only as Super Junior but in individual activities. All of them are men now even though sometimes I feel like they’re my children and I’m just afraid that Super Junior will fall apart. You might even think I’m conceited but I’m scared of loosing my fans... I just I haven’t lived in any other way for so long that... ¨ He then gave up with a sigh
Sora didn’t think that, Leeteuk was very hardworking. For the past 10 years his life pretty much revolved around, singing, dancing, hosting, photo shoots, traveling, having very little to no sleep. He had earned his status as a K-Pop idol
¨You know your fans better than I do. You really think that would happen? About the members, I don’t know them as much as I know you but they seem mature. I think you’ve taught them well. They’ll be fine.¨
¨They keep telling me the same thing, I keep telling myself the same thing, but I can’t help it, and... I’m going to miss a lot of people¨ Sora didn’t know what to say, was that an indirect way to tell her he was going to miss her, or was she just hoping it was.
¨Well, if you ever want someone to talk to while you’re there you know...¨ and just as she was about to finish her sentence the door flew open, bursting the comfort bubble they were in.
¨Leeteuk! Here you are¨ - A man who Sora did not know popped his head through the door. ¨Oh I’m sorry¨ - He then directed his attention to the young lady. ¨We need you on stage¨
¨Yeah okay, just give me a sec¨ the man just nodded, bowed and left.
¨I’m sorry Sora I have to go¨
¨Its okay I understand, will I see you at the after party?
¨I... I don’t think so. I have a schedule tomorrow morning¨
¨Oh, alright then¨ She tried to hide her disappointment. She was caught off guard when she felt a pair of strong, muscular arms around her shoulders. Sora relaxed into the embrace. It felt nice to hug him once again. She shyly wrapped her arms around his waist.
¨I’m sorry¨ - The same voice interrupted but they didn’t part immediately. When the man saw the scene he just looked down embarrassed. ¨I really need you to go with me¨ Very slowly they broke their embrace
¨Then I guess... I´ll...¨ Leeteuk stuttered
¨I want to see you before you leave. Can I?¨
¨Are you sure? How’s your schedule? ¨
¨Yes I am. Don’t worry about it, I just... please¨ Kang Sora felt in the verge of tears.
This just can’t be the last time. She kept telling herself.
¨Then I´d love that. I´ll call you to pick a day and if I don’t then you call me. Is that okay? ¨ She nodded.
¨I´ll be going then¨
She watched him walk out the door...
She plunged down on the sofa, loosing all her strength... She had a lot to think about.
