Moonstruck ✧･ﾟLee Heeseung

XV. Visits and Surprises

Author POV

The anticipation in the city was palpable as the day of Heeseung's art gallery opening approached. He had been working tirelessly, pouring his heart and soul into his pieces, and the excitement was mixed with a tinge of nervousness. Little did he know that Ari had a surprise planned that would make this day even more special.

Ari had been in touch with Heeseung's friend, Somi, who was helping her coordinate the surprise. She wanted to be there for him, to share in his success and show her support in person. After weeks of long-distance communication, she was ready to rekindle their romance with a weekend full of surprises.

Ari POV

I stepped off the train, my heart racing with excitement. I clutched the small bouquet of flowers I had brought for Heeseung, imagining the look on his face when he saw me. The city was bustling, a stark contrast to our small town, but I felt a thrill knowing that Heeseung was somewhere in this sea of people.

With Somi's guidance, I navigated my way to the gallery. As I approached, I saw the beautiful display of Heeseung's artwork through the large glass windows. The place was already buzzing with people, and I felt a swell of pride for him.

I slipped inside, trying to blend in with the crowd. My eyes scanned the room until they landed on Heeseung. He was talking to a group of admirers, his expression animated as he explained the inspiration behind one of his pieces. I waited until he was alone, then quietly approached.

Heeseung POV

I was in the middle of explaining my latest painting when I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder. Turning around, I was met with the most unexpected and delightful sight—Ari, standing there with a radiant smile and a bouquet of flowers.

"Ari?" I said, my voice full of surprise and joy. "What are you doing here?"

"I couldn't miss your big night, Heeseung," she replied, her eyes twinkling. "Surprise!"

I pulled her into a tight hug, the stress of the past few weeks melting away in her embrace. "You have no idea how much this means to me," I whispered, feeling a surge of emotions.

Author POV

The evening was a whirlwind of introductions, conversations, and celebrations. Heeseung proudly showed Ari around the gallery, explaining the stories behind his pieces. Ari was in awe of his talent, feeling incredibly proud to be by his side.

As the night wore on and the gallery began to empty, Heeseung and Ari found a quiet corner to themselves. They shared a kiss, the kind that spoke volumes about their love and commitment. It was a moment of reconnection, a reminder of the bond they shared despite the distance.

Ari POV

The next morning, we woke up in Heeseung's small apartment, the city's sounds filtering through the open window. The weekend stretched ahead of us, full of possibilities. We decided to make the most of it, starting with a leisurely breakfast at a nearby café.

As we walked hand in hand through the city streets, Heeseung pointed out his favorite spots and shared stories from his time here. It was wonderful to see this new side of him, to experience the city through his eyes.

We spent the afternoon shopping, wandering through boutiques and art supply stores. At one point, Heeseung picked out a beautiful scarf for me, draping it around my shoulders and planting a gentle kiss on my forehead.

Heeseung POV

Seeing Ari here, exploring the city with me, felt like a dream. As we strolled through the park later that evening, I pulled her close, savoring the warmth of her presence. We found a bench overlooking the city skyline and sat down, enjoying the view.

I looked at her, the setting sun casting a golden glow on her face. "I'm so glad you're here, Ari," I said, my voice filled with sincerity.

She smiled, leaning her head on my shoulder. "Me too, Heeseung. I've missed you so much."

We shared another kiss, the world around us fading away. It was just us, together, savoring the moment.

Author POV

The weekend continued with more magical moments. They visited art galleries, strolled through vibrant markets, and enjoyed late-night walks under the city lights. Each activity was punctuated by spontaneous kisses, small gestures of affection that spoke of their deep connection.

On the last day of her visit, Heeseung took Ari to a quiet spot by the river. They sat on a blanket, enjoying a simple picnic and each other's company. The conversation flowed easily, interspersed with laughter and shared memories.
