A Dream Come True

Chapter 33: Hyunjins Truth

As they were walking down the canal, hand in hand, Clarissa asks, "So, what did you have to do to get everyone to agree to me coming?"

Hyunjin looks up and licks his lips. "Well..."

-Flashback to when he left the US to go back to Korea-

Hyunjin woke up in bed next to Clarissa. He looks at her and sighs in awe. He dreads today, and doesn't want to go back to Korea. He wants to say bye to her, but doesn't want to see her hurt. He carefully climbs out of bed and writes her a note. He packs up all of his belongings and meets the rest of the boys in the living room.

"Are you ready to go?" Chan asks Hyunjin.

"Yeah, I am." Hyunjin says with sadness in his voice. "It's gonna sound bad, but I don't want to leave. I want to stay here with her."

"It'll get easier when we get back to Korea." Chan says picking up his bags.

The boys enter the elevator and head downstairs. They go out to the car, load everything and get in. The boys are being their crazy selves while Hyunjin just sulks. They arrive at the airport and check in and wait at the gate.

"Are you okay?" Seungmin asks Hyunjin, seating next to him.

"I'm fine." He says. "I just want to be alone right now."

Suengmin nods and gets up from his seat to sit with the others across the way. Hyunjin puts his headphones in and rests his head back and closes his eyes. About an hour later he feels a tap on his shoulder.

"It's time to get on the plane." Leeknow says to him as Hyunjin removes one headphone. He gets up from his seat and gets in line to board. He gets on the plane and finds his seat, still wearing his headphones.

The plane ride felt extra long. All he could think about was Clarissa. Was she sad? Did she care that he was gone? Is she going to be okay and safe? He wants her by his side. He misses her touch, smell, laugh, everything. He feels like a part of him is lost.

The plane lands in Korea. They get off the plane, get their bags, and get into the company car. The boys are still playing around and talking about the recent tour that they did, while Hyunjin is still listening to music, not paying any attention to anything around him.

They get to their dorm, and everyone goes to their rooms to unpack. Hyunjin drops his bags and lays in bed. Tears start running down his cheeks. He's been wanting to cry for so long, but couldn't because of the boys. He feels lost and heartbroken. He misses Clarissa so much. He just wants to be held in her arms. He slowly cries himself to sleep, and skips dinner.

The next day, Hyunjin stays in his room. Not eating anything, not conversing. He tries to do some art to get his mind off of it, but he can't focus. He just cries some more. Tears landing on the canvas. He can't control his emotions.

Hyunjin is like this for three days. He's just hiding in his room, not practicing at the studio, and he's not eating. The boys try to get him to come out of his room, but he won't budge. Chan then comes and enters his room.

"What's going on with you?" Chan asks him, sitting on the bed.

Hyunjin doesn't say anything, and just shrugs.

"It's Clarissa isn't it?"

Hyunjin sighs, and starts to cry into his hands. "I need her Hyung. I feel like a piece of me is gone. I can't stand it. She's all that I think about. Her smell, her touch, everything. I can't focus on anything." He says crying to Chan.

Chan puts a hand on his shoulder, and Hyunjin falls into his chest, crying hard. Chan puts his arms around him, comforting him, taking a sigh.

"Maybe we can make something work out. We can talk to JYP and see what we can do."

Hyunjin pulls away from Chan, wiping his face. "You mean it? If she was here I would give my all again. I just need her." Chan nods, and pulls out his phone to talk to JYP. Chan walks out of the room for privacy. Hyunjin sits in his room waiting.

A few minutes later Chan enters. Hyunjin looks at him with hope in his eyes. "He said that she can come and live with us if she wants to. However, no one can know about her. You have to keep her a secret. If you guys go out, you have to try to hide your identity. JYP also wants to meet her, since you're so head over heels for her."

Hyunjins eyes light up as he raises his eyebrows. He lunges to Chan and gives him a hug. "Thank you thank you thank you."

"Don't thank me, thank JYP."

-End of flashback-

"After that I booked the first flight that I could, and flew back out here. As soon as I got my bags from baggage claim, I got the call from Felix talking about your car accident. So I rushed to where you were as soon as I could." He says to Clarissa while they enter the elevator to go up to the dorm.

"I know how you felt. That was me too. Asking myself all of these questions, and not eating. When I saw you on the ambulance, and not in the hospital room, I thought I imagined you. I didn't believe you were there at first. I'm so so happy to be here with you. I feel complete again." She hugs him in the elevator and he follows her actions. They hold each other's embrace until the elevator doors open to the dorm.

They enter the dorm, and it's a little late so everyone else is asleep. They enter their room and Clarissa sits on the bed. Hyunjin goes over to his art desk and starts rummaging through his artwork. "What are you looking for?" Clarissa asks him.

Hyunjin pulls out the canvas that he was searching for. "This." He shows is to Clarissa. It's a painting of flowers and honey. "This was the canvas that I tried to use when I was trying to distract myself, the one with the tear drops on it. After I was told that you could come here, I took it with me to the airport and I painted it. The inspiration came from you. Your smell was the main thing that I could think of, so that's what I painted."

Clarissa grabs the painting, inspecting it. "You're so sweet and talented. I like it a lot. It's amazing." She says with happy tears in her eyes. She puts it down and pulls him to her.

Their lips meet as do their tongues. They lay next to each other on the bed exchanging kisses as their hands travel up and down each other's bodies. They pull away from each other, foreheads resting against one another's, breathing heavy.

"I've been wanting to do that for a long time." He whispers to her.

"Me too."

They both smile and fall asleep in each other's arms.
