Hello! :)

I am finally back with the complete update.

 Erratum: It takes 30 hours from Seoul to Greece, so, Pau has 48 72 hours to take him to Karin and back.

The two girls looked at their hands and turned their heads up to look at Donghae.

“But you have us oppa. The difference between now and your dream is our presence.”

He believed what Hira said and was holding their hands securely as they made their way out of the airport. At a glance, he looked like an overprotective brother holding his little sisters, so that they won’t wander off or get lost. However, their situation was the exact opposite. He was so afraid that his dream would come true, that upon exiting the plane, he grabbed hold of their hands and never did let go. The two decided to go along with him or they won’t arrive at Karin’s place peacefully.

Jin walked a distance ahead of them, avoiding the stares and glances from the people inside the airport. He originally planned going alone even though he promised he would stay put and wait for her call. Looking behind him, he saw the flustered look on Donghae’s face. A deep sigh escaped from his mouth – two promises broken in less than two days. It couldn’t be helped though. His hyung learned about Jake going after Karin and his dream made it even worse.

“Jin, wait for us!!” Donghae called as he briskly walked towards Jin, the two girls catching up with his pace. Jin stopped, realizing how far he was from them.

“Jin-sshii,” Hira’s hand was on her chest as she panted. “You have really long legs,” she said in between breaths.

“I’m sorry,” Jin chuckled and apologized noticing her flushed cheeks. They rested for awhile before heading out of the airport.

The sun had already set, leaving orange and red streaks at the horizon, while the rest of the sky was already black.

“Ahhh,” Hira smiled widely looking around. “We finally made it!”

“Yes, we did!!” Pau and Hira did a high-five and giggled.

“Happy now?” Pau asked Donghae who was awfully quiet. She need not hear his reply for his smile gave it away. 

Billions of stars lit up the night sky, shining brightly in the heavens as they bear witness to fate’s mysterious ways. A brave heart unwilling to be separated for so long from its other half had conquered everything just to be with the one it yearned for. If only fate were kind enough to grant their happiness from the very start…

Looking outside from the window, Karin let out a deep sigh of frustration as she covered her face with her palms. Two days passed by quickly without any progress. They were her parents, but ever since he came, she started doubting her place as the daughter. Karin couldn’t have a decent time alone with them. Jake had stuck to her parents like glue, keeping her from confessing to them. Inasmuch as she wanted to yell at him in anger and expose him in front of her parents, she just couldn’t bring herself to do it. She was brought up not to harbour hate or anger against a person, but just this once, she might break that rule she had put upon herself.

Shaking her head to erase the smug on his face, Karin opened her laptop and started browsing the net. After a tiring day touring around the city, her parents told her to get some rest before dinner. She would just use the remaining time watching videos of him who always brings a smile on her face, chasing away the monster in her head. Laughing at Donghae’s silly antics, Karin felt lighter than before. She put the video on pause and stared at his eyes. It felt like his gaze pierced right through the screen, colouring her cheeks. She remembered the times when he looked at her with eyes filled with love.

I think… I think I miss you already…

She laughed at herself for thinking that, finally admitting it to herself even though she was the one telling him that she won’t be gone for long. Seems like watching his videos to take away her longing wouldn’t work now unlike before. Being apart from her parents, she somehow got used to not having the feeling of missing or looking for someone. Her heart squeezed suddenly just by thinking about it.

A brief rap on her door cut through the silence in her room. She opened it, not happy to see the person in front of her.

“What do you want?” she asked coldly, looking straight ahead, not meeting his eyes.

“You,” he lowered his head to her level, grinning.

Karin held on the knob and was about to close the door on him when he said, “Dinner is ready. Your parents asked me to call you.”<
