Life Was Colorless, Until You Came

16# I'll Always Be With You

"We made it, Soobin!! Four years of hard work and we finally graduated!" The graduation ceremony ended and there was still some students left to take pictures. After the ceremony ended, she immediately went around the place to look for Soobin and she eventually found him. "We sure did. But without you, I wouldn't be able to get here. You inspired and motivated me throughout those four years, Akiko." — "what's with you calling me Akiko now? Ever since I told you my japanese name when we graduated senior highschool, you started calling me that." Soobin figured out that calling Liwoun, Akiko would suit her more. She graduated college and still haven't learn korean, she just learned a few words. They speak japanese to eachother so Soobin decided that on that day, he would start calling her Akiko. "It suits you more."

Liwoun continued to smile after Soobin told her that, he gave her an annoyed look as a joke. "Why are you looking at me like that??!!" It wasn't long before Soobin stopped giving her the annoyed look, he started smiling to let her know that it was a joke. "Anyways, are you really going back to japan after six months?" Liwoun nodded. "Of course! But don't worry about it, I don't want to see you getting sad all day because I'm in japan and you're here in korea. I'll come back here if I get the chance." — "When will you come back?"

"Hmm... Maybe after ten years?"

"Ten years?!?!!"

"I'm just joking!! I don't even exactly know when I'll have the chance to go back here when I come back to japan." Soobin almost passed out after hearing Liwoun say that she'll come back after ten years, he'll be dead by then. She didn't want him to worry so much since she still has six months left to spend, she held both of his hands as she looked at him. "Don't worry, I still have six months left to spend time here in korea. And with you. My mom is actually sad about us leaving, she said that she'll miss you visiting the house. And she'll also miss the foods that you give her whenever you visit." He's not the only that's sad, even Liwoun's mom is sad. "I'll make sure that we'll spend those six months well." — "Make sure you do. After that, we'll be in a long distance relationship."

"Oh my gosh, just hearing that word makes me want to vomit."

"I said don't worry, six months is alot. And you'll probably forget that I'll come back in japan while spending time." Probably. "Now that you mentioned it, I think I'll remind myself everyday about that." Liwoun let go of Soobin's hands as he pulled him in for a hug. "When I come back to japan, I don't want your aunt to message me and tell me that you keep crying. That's pointless." Ouch. "You have nothing to cry about, it's not like I died or anything. I'm just gonna go back there to work, I promise you that I'll come back here in korea. And the first thing that I'll think of, is you." — "Really?..." She's not even at the airport yet and Soobin's already crying. "Don't cry." — "How did you know that I was crying..." Liwoun pulled away and saw legit tears on his eyes. "Why are you even crying??? Gosh." She gently wiped his tears away as she slowly started to realize that she was going back to japan. That also made her sad, but Liwoun decided to keep the positive energy going on.

"You can cry when we finally arrive at the airport after six months, you can be sad when we finally arrive at the airport after six months. But don't be sad everyday, you should always wake up feeling good. And when I'm finally back in japan, remember that I'll always be with you. Even when you're on the phone with me, you should think that you're infront of me and I'm talking to you. Don't do anything bad when I'm gone, okay? I love you, Soobin."

"I love you too, Akiko...."

"Why are you crying again?!?!! I told you not to cry. Save those tears for later, let's go! They're gonna take the class graduation picture and we're the only ones that are not there!" Liwoun held Soobin's hands as they ran quickly to get in the picture, they eventually made it in time. After that, they spend time with eachother talking about different topics. Soobin started to smile again, Liwoun made him a better person. And Soobin was thankful for that, thankful for what she did years ago.

The End.
