Awakened (KaiStal f.f)

Last Chapter

Waiting 6 months to wait for Jongin was a hard task for Soojung. The calendar that helped Soojung count the days 'till she was reunited with Jongin was always never-ending and frustrating.

When it was down to the last week before the government let her meet Jongin secretly, Soojung burst out into tears every night, making it hard for her to sleep and often made her sleep deprived and exhausted.

"You love him very much, don't you?" Jessica caressed her sister's left palm. She nodded and wiped her tears away with her right hand.

"I miss him dearly, Unnie."

While Soojung's mother was driving her to the government jail center, she couldn't contain her mixed feelings. Of course, she was over beyond glad to be able to meet him once again, but what if he didn't love her anymore? What if he moved on from her? What would she do then?

After her mom had dropped her off at the jail entrance, she quickly hurried inside before anyone could see her going in.

"Hello, I'm a visitor... I'm sure you already know who I'm here to see." She could barely say the words 'Kim Jongin'.

The woman at the front desk looked at her with a puzzled look.

"Pardon? I don't know who you are referring to."

"K... Kim J-"

A man appeared out of the office next to the entrance and walked up to Soojung.

"Come with me. Naeui, I'll take care of her." The man said and ushered her to follow him. After taking two floors down and multiple left and rights turns, the man stopped at one of the doors and pulled out a handful of keys. He pulled the key with the numbers '114' and stuck it into the lock.

She was sweating even before he even opened the door. Nothing has ever made her so anxious (other than her debut) and lightheaded.

The door was finally opened and the man stuck the keys back into his pocket.

"Thank you... uh..."

"Joo Jinwoo."

"Thank you, Jinwoo-ssi."

"I'm giving you guys half an hour. It was suppose to be only 15 minutes, but I'm sure no one will notice." He winked and walked away from the door.

She hadn't even noticed Jongin sitting in the empty room, staring at her while she and Joo Jinwoo were having a conversation.

"Soojung..." He cried in a raspy voice. Living in 'The Unkown' was like living in hell, and Jongin had lived there alone without anyone to comfort him.

She watched as Jongin struggled to stand up to greet her, due to his handcuffed hands and feet.

She couldn't take it anymore. She dropped her purse on the ground and ran over to embrace Jongin with everything she had.

"Oppa!" She cried into his neck when she finally got to embrace him. He couldn't hug her back, which made him angry and his feelings for her grow even more.

"I missed you so dearly... How did you live? I should've gone with you... I truly should've. Seeing you sick and hurt like this makes me feel guilty."

"Soojung..."

"Please look at me in the eyes." She put her hands on his cheeks. He looked into her eyes and burst out into tears.

"I can't even hug you. I'm sorry."

She wiped away his tears with her hands and gave a small smile.

"You still love me, and that's all that matters." She whispered.

Using all the power he could, he pulled out a small box out of his right pant pocket and took Soojung's left hand. He opened the box and pulled out a simple gold ring and slipped it onto her ring finger.

"I already know your answer." He smiled even though there were tears running down his face.

He truly did know her. Do we share telepathy? Soojung thought to herself, which made her even happier than she already is.

Being as gentle as she could, she leaned in a gave him a kiss on the lips.

"I love you, Kim Jongin."
