Chapter 18

Distance makes the heart grow fonder.

The morning came too quickly, we ate breakfast together and got ready like any other day only this was different. I felt worry in the pit of my stomach; I almost felt as if it was my fault I had to leave. Every moment I had I'd cling to Ji, hugging him tightly not wanting to let him go. Neither of us even needed to speak because it's obvious what's both on our minds. I felt like If I opened my mouth then I'd end up crying- So I silenced myself and fell into the comfort that was Ji's embrace; laying on his shoulder with his arm round me whist watching Korean Dramas on TV. I couldn't help but play with his hand nervously causing him to look down at me slightly concerned which didn't surprise me. I should of realized by now that he could read me like a book.

 

You know my love for you isn't going to change just because you're leaving for a while, right?” He let slip causing me to look up at him before moving up for a deep kiss. I knew that nothing would change, I was more worried about how we'd both cope.

 

I know that. I'm just going to miss you... a lot. Like I did before all of this happened. Only this time, I think it'll be harder to cope with.” I said trying hard not to think about it but it was impossible now it was brought up in context.

 

We'll be able to see each other again before you know it.” Ji said hopefully making me smile. He was completely right- the tour would start up again soon. It was only 3 weeks, but even that time apart would feel like 3 years. Still, right now, all I want to do is hold him. No, even that was an understatement I want to keep holding him, now and forever.

 

The time to leave came too quickly as Ji helped me put my luggage into the car, I felt so uneasy about everything; I really wanted to run the opposite way but I knew how irresponsible it would be If I did. So I stayed put, sitting in the car as we drove away from the memories we'd only recently made together.

 

When we finally made it to the airport Ji walked me in straight away meeting up my manager; we all ordered a coffee quickly avoiding any public who were likely to recognize us. Things were rushed but us being idols- that couldn't be helped. We sat down in the most isolated place and chatted idly with the short of amount of time I could before needing to board my plane.

 

 

Still, I was thankful that he was going to stay with me until the very end.

I took him as far as I could go in the airport and smiled weakly, knowing that he had to go back to Japan for a while felt almost heartbreaking now, I'd miss him greatly so I did the only thing I could do, His eyes looked so sad so I got down on one knee, I'd been planning this for too long in my head. It had literally been weeks since I’d confessed yet I felt so sure about this.

 

Ri.... We've had our battles and our good times and admittedly things haven't been easy but I still can't deny how much I love and adore you. Even though we won't be together all the time and they'll be many more battles I know for sure that I want to face those battles with you; I want to be with you for the rest of my life...” I said watching his eyes widened in surprise making me heart beat even more even in my nervous state. Though, doing this in an airport was probably more surprising and nerve racking to anyone watching.

“That's why I want you to marry me.” I said pulling out a ring making his eyes water, he looked lost for words causing people to now stare, but only stare. Unlike before, no-one approached us.

 

O-Of course I'll marry you!” He said whist tears fell down his cheeks. I slipped the ring on his finger and finally hugged him tightly, even though crowds of people were now watching from afar in amazement I didn't care; nothing phased me anymore.

 

I kissed him one last time, lingering in these feelings I know I'd never let go of before he had to go, fleeing to his gate. Our goodbyes weak and sad, but the happiness from the proposal kept things somehow positive. After saying our longs goodbyes before he got on the plane all I could think about was how lucky I was to have him.
 

I stood watching him go, amazed that somehow the man I'd been in love with for years had somehow falling in love with me too and I couldn't help but smile, knowing that my life from here on out was going to be perfect. I smiled again picking up my phone sending him a text-  Just like how out realtionship and feelings all started.
