ARA’S POV

     Although, I’d had no doubt that he’d agree to it, it made me really happy to hear that from him. I took a place where I used to sit under the tallest tree in the middle of the greenhouse and we sat there together. I did a few sketches of him doing different poses, just to get a feel for his features and figure and actually replicating them. We chatted the whole time and it felt like we were cut off from the rest of the world. No crazy fan girl or busy schedules. No school or nosy friends. Nothing but the two of us. When I’d had my fill of sketching him, I just sat there and took in his smile. He was having fun, which made me happy. I wondered how often he got the chance to really just have fun without it being work.

“What?” He asked me, and I realized I was staring. I only shook my head. “Are you done?”

I nodded. “Ya, if you have to get to that CF filming now, you can go.”

He sighed. “I don’t want to go…” He glanced at his watch. “But I should…”

I shrugged. “It’s fine. We’ll get together again like this soon. I don’t want you getting in trouble.”

He nodded to me, but didn’t move. “I still don’t want to leave you. I’m having such a good time—I mean I’m really enjoying this. You bring me to the best places.”

I leaned against him. “It’s only the best because you’re here.”

He glanced down at me and then rested his head on top of mine. “I think it’s the other way around.”

The moment didn’t last long, because he phone rang and he had to shift to pull it out of his pocket. I sat up and watched him answer it. I looked away, selfishly wishing I could have him all to myself for the whole day. He wasn’t on the phone for long. He soon hung up and turned to me.

“I have to go… That was Jaejoong, reminding me about the CF.”

“That was nice of him.” Although I wish he hadn’t. I wish Junsu could just forget about work for a day. I made a mental note to plan an all-fun day for him soon.

He just nodded and kept sitting there, looking at me. Neither of us was ready to part just yet. Why does time have to fly when you’re having fun? Why can’t things like this last longer? Or maybe it’s just us. Because he’s famous. I sighed. This was what I would have to live with, wasn’t it? Never having enough time with him… And I just had to accept that. Easier said than done. Then he leaned over to me.

JUNSU’S POV

     I couldn’t take my eyes away from her. Was this what falling in love really felt like? Was it always this captivating…and hard? I felt so bad about having to leave. And her sigh sounded so sad. She wasn’t looking at me anymore, she was looking down. I wondered for a moment if our love was strong enough to make it through this hardship. Or maybe this problem would haunt us forever. Because I was famous… I crawled closer to her and leaned over. Maybe I had to leave, but at least I could leave her with something. I tilted my face and kissed her. A long, meaningful kiss to show her that no matter what it seemed like every time I left, I still loved her and would continue loving her. I felt a single tear slip between our lips and I pulled back to see her smiling with tears in her eyes. I brush my thumb across her cheek and then pulled her into a comforting hug. She hugged me back, tightly.

“I love you, Junsu.” She whispered.

I held her closer. “I love you.”

As we pulled away from each other, she kissed my cheek and then let me stand up first. I pulled her up next to me.

“I’ll take you home first.”

She just nodded and followed me out. It felt like she was trusting me. Trusting that I’d find a way to spend time with her. Trusting that I’d make our love strong enough…
