As I did my final checks, making sure that I had packed everything back into my suitcase; I wore my green jacket which was placed on the bed, took my plane ticket and made my way out of the hotel room. As a professional news reporter and photographer, I travelled to the city of New York to take interview a few businessmen and take photos of the scenery for a project i had to complete. Now, I am returning to my hometown in Japan.

While walking down the corridors of the hotel rooms on my level, I heard the thumping of footsteps getting louder and louder as I walked. Without hesitation, I turned my head behind. I saw a young and handsome blonde man running in my direction. I moved to the side as an instinct in order to not obstruct him.

"Sorry!" he yelled while running past me. Even though his long hair blocked most of his face, I managed to get a glimpse of his emerald eyes which were filled with tears. At that exact frame in time, I was completely overwhelmed by his good looks but was rather curious why he was crying in the first place.

Maybe it's just something urgent.....not my concern, I thought to myself. I then continued my journey to the lobby.
