After a very long time of preparation and a tearful farewell, Jonghyun and Key bid Korea goodbye. The years had trickled by and they were both much older than the kids who had fallen in love with each other and with being idols. They had made a choice to part with one love to be with another, but they knew they had made the right choice when the comfort of a familiar hand in theirs was all they needed to move on. They were no longer idols when they stepped off the plane in California. They were only Kim Jonghyun and Kim Kibum, and they were more than content with that as long as they could walk hand in hand through the airport, on walks through the park, on their way to see a play, as they strolled the aisles of a grocery store, as they went about their daily lives and at the end of an altar.
