Distance Between Us

Love Between Us

Wonwoo could not believe what he had just done. He had run away from his dream wedding with his ex boyfriend, Kim Mingyu, and is now landing in Osaka, Japan.

Wonwoo and Mingyu stepped out of the airport in their suits, not a single piece of luggage on them. Wonwoo finally realised this was reality, he was no longer in Seoul getting married to Wen Junhui, he was in Osaka with no money and a man who always chose him second.

"Mingyu, why are we here?" Wonwoo asked, realisation setting in. Mingyu seemed to be equally as clueless, turning to him. He reached for Wonwoo's hands and held them, grazing his thumbs over the back of Wonwoo's hands.

"My heart said this was the place where I should fix things with you." Wonwoo looked at him skeptically. "Just trust me."

Eventually a taxi pulled up next to them and they got in, sitting in silence. Wonwoo stole glances at Mingyu every now and then, but spent most of his time staring outside the window. The taxi dropped them off at the Hilton, which meant Wonwoo was face to face with the same hotel where he and Mingyu had slept together.

In the quiet intimacy of their hotel room, Mingyu's heart pounded with anticipation as he prepared to bare his soul to Wonwoo. "Wonwoo, there's something important I need to confess," he began, his voice trembling with sincerity.

Wonwoo turned to him, curiosity and concern etched on his features. "What is it, Mingyu?"

With a deep breath, Mingyu gathered his courage and laid his past mistakes bare. "Four years ago, when we were together, I failed to prioritise you over Minghao," he confessed, his eyes locked on Wonwoo's, seeking forgiveness. "I let my care for him overshadow our relationship, and I've regretted it ever since."

Wonwoo's expression softened, his gaze reflecting understanding and compassion. "Mingyu, I'll admit your relationship with Minghao did hurt me, but hearing you say it now... it means a lot," he admitted, his voice tender.

With Wonwoo's forgiveness warming his heart, Mingyu looked into his eyes with utmost sincerity. "Wonwoo, you mean everything to me," he declared, his voice unwavering. "You're the most important thing in the world to me, and I promise to show you that every day."

Wonwoo's eyes shimmered with emotion as he reached out to caress Mingyu's cheek. "Mingyu, hearing you say that means more to me than you'll ever know," he said softly, his voice filled with love.

Mingyu leaned into Wonwoo's touch, his own eyes shining with affection. "I mean it, Wonwoo," he affirmed, his voice filled with conviction. "I'll spend the rest of my days proving it to you."

In that moment, surrounded by the quiet serenity of the hotel room, Mingyu and Wonwoo shared a bond stronger than ever before, knowing that their love would guide them through whatever challenges lay ahead.

A gentle smile graced Wonwoo's lips, his eyes shimmering with affection. "I believe you, Mingyu," he replied, reaching out to clasp Mingyu's hand in his own.

Encouraged by Wonwoo's acceptance, Mingyu took a leap of faith. "Wonwoo, will you give me another chance? Will you be my boyfriend again?" he asked, his voice laced with hope and vulnerability.

Wonwoo's smile widened, his eyes sparkling with love. "Yes, Mingyu," he answered, his voice filled with warmth. "I'd love to be yours again."

Relief flooded Mingyu's heart as he pulled Wonwoo into a tight embrace, arms around his small waist, they pulled apart staring into each other's eyes.

"Can I?" Mingyu asked and Wonwoo looked at him expectantly. Wonwoo delivered a small nod and Mingyu leaned down to press his lips gently against Wonwoo's.

"I love you Wonwoo, and I never stopped loving you. You are my everything. I can never be away from you ever again." He held Wonwoo and tighter. "You are, the love of my life." Mingyu stared into Wonwoo's eyes with a smile on his face.

"I love you too Mingyu, with all my heart I've always wanted you." Wonwoo replied.

"My heart will make sure there is never ever distance between us again." Mingyu responded, leaning down to kiss him again.

That night, Wonwoo knew that their love had been etched into the night sky, permanently, to form a constellation of memories.
