Euphoria

"Coming Home"

Tae Rin-Cha

"I'll miss you, Kyoko."

She gave me a tight squeeze and sniffled into my shoulder. I embraced her for a bit with a small smile.

"I'll miss you too, Yuki. Make sure to take care of yourself, okay?"

"I will! You be sure to visit as soon as you can!" She broke us apart and wiped away a few tears that leaked from her eyes. I smiled at her and placed a loving hand on her shoulder. She nodded and I took it off, turning away from her.

Looking over my shoulder, I saw her running towards me one more time, and began whispering in my ear. I turned completely red as she smirked and ran back to her original position, waving happily.

"Make sure to tell me all the details once you've fucked him, kay'?"

I waved to her as I walked down the loading area, and found my way to the plane's entrance. I was granted first class once again, but wasn't escorted this time. I did eventually find the first class seating area, and thanked the stewardesses as they gave me tea and blankets as I sat. I looked out the window longingly, staring at the sky with a small smile. It was completely clear today, with not a single cloud in the sky. It was cold for a November day, but that didn't stop the sky from being all blue today.

"Attention all passengers! The plane will be taking off momentarily, so please be sure to put on your seatbelts and be ready for take off! We hope you enjoy the flight!"

I followed the instructions of the stewardess with a rapid pace, and made sure my messenger bag was also secured next to me. I put in my headphones and sighed as I leaned back into the velvet cushioned seat. I had about two hours of a flight, so I could easily watch the news after I listened to a few of my songs I had lined up.

The plane was in the air moments later, and I decided to turn on the T.V to check breaking news. Sure enough it was there, and I plugged my headphones into the jack to hear what was happening. My eyes grew double their size, and I clasped my hands to my mouth in fear. On the screen was a gigantic ant-like creature, something that was twenty times the size of a human, and was fighting against someone. I noticed the lightning fast speed of the person fighting the beast, and also a blue aura that followed wherever the guy went. There was no way that was him. I continued to watch, my eyes glued to the screen for what seemed like hours. I couldn't see the person's face clearly, but I was sure that was him.

The plane landed before the fight was over, and I still wasn't sure if it really was who I was thinking of. When I was asked to get off the plane, I obviously did, still nervous about who that person could be.

I soon heard cheering coming from a group of people in front of me, and eavesdropped on their conversation quietly.

"Man, he really did it!"

"Yeah, that Hunter has to be the strongest one in the whole world!"

"What's his name again, Tang-Ran?"
"I think it's Sung Jin-Woo? He was recently promoted to S Rank, and then comes in to save everyone from perilous deaths! I really like him, I'm sure he'll be the one to protect everyone in the world!"

"Yeah!"

"I agree with you!"

I froze and moved to the side of the tunnel, my heart beating rapidly. So I was right.

He is an S Rank Hunter now, and protected everyone, just like he promised me he would.

I felt a smile creep across my face, and I sighed happily. I continued to walk, and soon found myself in the familiar airport I was in just four years ago. I decided to quickly grab some food and then retrieve my luggage, knowing I had a lot of time on my hands. I also thought I'd grab a taxi, not wanting to bother Jin-Ah or Jin-Woo with the task of driving me. It'd also be nice to surprise them if I showed up at their house. I'm pretty sure I could also stay over, so I would make sure to stop by my house and grab all my necessities for a sleepover.
