Foreword
In a small cafe, Seoul 2009
"Hana!" Kyungsoo's eyes searched the cafe and finally landed on the person he was looking for. In two long strodes, he stood in front of a surprised looking Hana who was stuck on a maths equation. She stood up too greet him but got instantaneously wrapped into a hug.
"I made the audition," she could feel his breath on her neck and it sent shivers down her spine. Kyungsoo pulled back a little and was puzzled to see Hana's pouting face. "What's wrong, Hana? Aren't you supposed to be happy for me?"
"How can I be happy," she tried to wriggle out of his arms but failed. "When I'll be sharing my Kyungsoo with the rest of the world,"
He tried to look into her eyes again for any signs of teasing but all he could find were anger and sadness. He began to panic. "Yah Oh Hana, are you seriously mad at me?" both hands were on her shoulders as he leveled his eyes with hers. He bit his lip. "I.. I can always request to get out or maybe-,"
Kyungsoo stopped mid-sentence when he heard a light chuckle from Hana. He looked up to see a grin forming on her lips.
"I'm kidding, Soo," she pinched his cheeks. "Just, a little worried," her reply got him to raise an eyebrow questioningly. Hana took her seat before Kyungsoo followed suit, sitting in the chair opposite of her.
"Wae? What are you worried about?" He unwrapped his scarf while Hana closed her maths book and placed it aside. She bit on her bottom lip and twirled a pen in her hand.
"Oh Hana don't tell me," Kyungsoo leaned forward in his chair, placing both hands on the table. "you're worried I might forget you,"
"Aniyo!" the pink that crept on her cheeks made it obvious she was blushing and Kyungsoo chuckled seeing her flustered.
"Besides," she continued "How can you forget me. I mean look at this," she pointed to her square glasses " and this" then to her braces and crazy hair. "This is not an image to forget,"
"You're right. I might just get nightmares everynight," he joked, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Yah, Do Kyungsoo-,"
"I'm kidding," he let out another hearty chuckle. "Shall we order some drinks to celebrate?"
Incheon Airport
"Promise me this," Hana was standing by the entrance gate of international departures. Both her hands were placed on Kyungsoo's shoulders. She looked into his eyes before taking him into a hug. "Don't ever forget me,"
Kyungsoo returned her hug, taking in her familiar scent. She always smelled of men's cologne. He never really understood why she preferred them, though. He rested his chin on her shoulders and tightened his hold on her before whispering into her ear.
"I promise,"
