Arranged Marriage to Mr. Nam Woohyun

⤜Chapter Thirty-Seven: Gone⤛

You sat down next to Suho, as Eunji had taken the seat next to Woohyun. You sat by the aisle and saw a glimpse of Woohyun. Just then, Woohyun turned around, and you both made eye contact. You looked at him for a few seconds, until you realized that you had been looking at Woohyun. You embarrassingly looked away and hid yourself behind the seat in front of you.
"Are you comfortable right there? We can switch seats if you'd like." Suho offered.
"Oh, it's okay. I'll be fine." You assured him. Suho smiled at you, then searched for a movie to watch. You popped your head out again and saw the back of his head.
I hope you're okay.
You thought.
"Suho, I'm a little tired. Will you wake me up when the plane lands?" You asked him. Suho looked at you and noticed that you did look exhausted. He nodded and smiled at you.
"Thanks."
You fixed yourself and got comfortable in the seat. Just as you closed your eyes, you felt something over you. You quickly opened your eyes and sat up. It was Suho's blazer. You looked at him, in surprised.
"Suho-shi, it's okay! My cardigan will work just fine for me." You told him, removing the blazer to hand it back to him.
"It's okay. Rest up." Suho said, and placed the blazer back on you.
"Thank you." You smiled at him and situated yourself again.
You closed your eyes and wished you dream of him.

"-----, wake up. We've landed."
You heard Suho say. You opened your eyes and looked at him.
"Already?" You asked, still trying to adjust to the lighting.
"Yup. It was quick, huh?" Suho chuckled.
"Yea, it did. It feels like I just closed my eyes." You chuckled.
It was your instinct to look down the aisle. Suho noticed that you had looked down the aisle.
"Woohyun left already." Suho said, making you retreat your head to look at him.
"Oh...I was just looking if the aisle was clear for us to go." You lied.

You walked out of the plane with Suho. Suho offered to help roll your luggage.
"Are you sure? It's okay, really." You said to Suho.
"I'm fine. Let me walk you to your gate." Suho insisted.
"Thank you Suho-shi." You gave him a smile. As you two walked out of the airport, you saw Woohyun standing there by himself next to his car. Woohyun saw you, and he felt sad. It wasn't any kind of sad, but the sad that he was going to let you go. You looked at Suho and thanked him again.
"Thank you, Suho! I hope you get home safely." You wished.
"You and Woohyun, be careful too. Let me know if you need anything." Suho offered.
You gave Suho a wave and a smile, as he departed. You and Woohyun were a few feet apart only but felt so distant. You took a deep breath, before rolling your luggage and walking over to him. Woohyun saw you and walked behind the car to pop the trunk open. Just as you were about to lift your luggage and place it in the back, Woohyun grabbed your luggage, catching you off guard.
"I could have done it." You made a simple remark. Woohyun didn't say anything and walked over to his side.
You slowly walked over to the passenger's side and opened the door. You sat in and looked out the window to stop yourself from stealing glances of him.
No one said a word during the drive. You wanted to ask him so many questions, but you couldn't.

By the time you knew, Woohyun had pulled up to the driveway. The car came to a stop, and you got out first. You opened the trunk and pulled out your luggage, rolling it away as you walked to the front door. Woohyun looked at you, before slowly pulling his stuff out.
You unlocked the door and walked into the cold and dark house. You carried your bag upstairs and closed the door.
You slowly walked to the desk and opened the drawer where the papers were rested in. You pulled the yellow envelope out and looked at it for a few seconds.
This is really it.
You thought.
You heard Woohyun walk pass your room and into his.
You had hoped that there was a small chance that Woohyun had forgotten about it. The fact was that you weren't ready to sign the papers yet. You wanted that extra month more than anything. You knew that once you signed the papers, you'd never seen him again.
You held the envelope with both of your hands. You stood in front of the door and waited. You took a deep breath and opened the door. You walked to his room and stood in front of his door.
This was it. This was going to be the moment.
