you and me to the end of time

Chapter 11: Time to go home

Maria POV

The day has arrived that I have to leave Korea and head home to denmark. even if i don't really want to. Hobi hasnt texted me today even though he said that he would, yesterday he asked me when my flight was leaving, seeming curious about it, maybe to see if he could be sure to text me before that or something, since we cant text on the plane. sitting in the cab going to the airport i feel anxious since he still hasnt texted me. Maybe he is just too busy for it. Maybe I shouldn't feel like this since I don't even know what we even are. I have sent him two texts, one saying good morning to him, and the other to tell him I am leaving for the airport. clenching on to my phone holding it close to my heart i try to manifest a message from him, only to not receive one. going into the airport i scan my ticket. There are a few hours until my flight leaves and I head over to my gate and find a seat.

After sitting here for about 20 minutes or so, still looking at my phone, I begin to feel a bit disappointed even though I shouldn't. As I let out a sigh, a man walks up to me. "Excuse me?" he says, and as i look up at him my eyes widen as Mr. Wong is standing in front of me. "What are you doing here?" I ask him in a whisper, as I look around for anyone to know who he is. "special delivery for you. Follow me." he says with a smile then gestures for his hand to follow him. I stood up and grabbed my luggage. Then he leads me to a private room, then opens the door for me and gestures for me to go in. "What's going on?" I ask as I go into the room, only to be met by Hobis bright smile, and not only him but also the others. He runs up to me and pulls me in for a hug. "Hobi. what on earth is going on?" I say to him, feeling a tear built up in my eyes as I look up at him. "I couldn't stand the thought of you leaving without a final bye, and I thought the others might also want to see you. you really made quite the impression on them." he says as we look over at the other boys who just stand there waving at me. "Sorry I didn't text you, but I wanted it to be somewhat of a surprise." he then says with a shy laugh. "You are just full of surprises Hobi." I say, making myself stop the tears that are trying to escape, trying to be brave. "I was thinking of something. You said the other day that the only thing stopping you from moving here was your mother. don't you think we might be able to work something out? move both of you here? it feels like i can't forget about everything, and i want you closer." he says. "I don't know Hobi. me and my mom dont have the best relationship, and i don't want her here so she can pester me with everything, complain that she doesn't know the language or something else. Will you give me some time to think? then i will find something out." I say to him as I place a hand on his cheek. "sure. just tell me everything. Well, let's sit down before you have to leave. oh and here. It's the others number also. thought you might want it since we are getting closer." he says and hands me a piece of paper. "I already gave them your number and told them not to bother you more than necessary." "haha thank you, but i am sure none of you would ever bother me." I laugh as I begin to put in their numbers. "Just wait until the youngest begins to send you memes constantly, then it will bother you." Everyone laughs.

After a while we hear over the speakers that the gates have been opened for my flight and it will leave shortly, so I begin to get up and head around to give everyone one final hug before I don't get to see any of them in god knows how long. I saved Hobi for last, since his hug is more special to me. "See you soon, princess. have a safe flight home, and text me the minute you have landed." he says then kisses the crown of my head. "thanks Hobi. I will. Bye guys." I say to all of them, then wave goodbye as I head out the door. feeling more gutted about leaving now that Hobi said all that to me, i feel tears begin to form again in my eyes, and this time i let them fall as i go to my gate again and head on the plane to go home.
