Hanni
4 years later...
I didn't know what it was that led me here. I didn't know if it was because of destiny, or the fact that me and her talked about it so many times. Or just the plain fact that I spent years brainstorming her whereabouts.
But I believe that I have found her.
After four long years of trying to figure out where she disappeared to. I think I found her, and maybe I overthought it too much and the answer was right in front of me this whole time.
In my memories of us.
I let the sand become one with my every step as I saw a figure standing by the water. And I was still scared that I looked at the wrong place. That she wouldn't be here and I'd have to spend years to try and look for her again.
As I took steps closer the figure was starting to become familiar and I could feel a tug at my heart as the wind played with the familiar strands of hair that my fingers used to tangle themselves in.
As I got closer, more of the familiar features could be seen and I could already feel tears forming in my eyes. It was Minji, my love.
Once I stood two feet away from my Minji, she spoke. "I stood in this exact place every day for the past four years. Waiting for you to find me. No single part of me thought that you'd ever give up on me." She said turning to look at me and I could feel all the air being knocked out of my chest.
She looked so stunning, so beautiful that it physically pained my heart. I wonder who's panties she's dropped with that face of hers. Ugh! It's not the time to be jealous. Plus, I knew Minji stayed being loyal to me. And as toxic as it was, she better have or I'll be the one to chop her dick off.
Minji matured so much, and she even got taller. But the way her brown eyes looked at me would never change. I'm still her love, her everything. She still loves me with her whole heart.
And I loved her just as much still, maybe even more with how much I yearned for her in all of these years.
I just stood there frozen, not believing that I have actually found her. Was this a dream? Was I about to wake to my empty bed and dread for her once more?
But it wasn't a dream, not with how Minji took a step forward and grabbed one of my hands. "You're still so beautiful, Hanni." And all I needed to hear was my name slip from her lips for me to break down and hug her.
I hugged her tightly as I sobbed against her shoulder. I could hear Minji letting out quiet sobs as she held me tighter than what I was holding her.
At one point my feet weren't touching the ground anymore and I have now found myself screaming as Minji spun us around. I could hear Minji laughing as she kept ignoring the way I kept hitting her back so that she could put me down.
And I couldn't deny the giant smile that formed on my face and the butterflies that formed in my stomach. This was the best feeling ever, being with the person I love with my whole being.
I finally felt complete and happy.
Once Minji put me down, she didn't even give me the chance to process any of it as she pulled me in to a heart wrenching kiss, that just showed me how much she missed me, that showed me that she was still mine to claim once more.
I held her face as I kissed her deeply, too afraid to pull back. And before you ask me, I am single. I never dared to look for love anywhere else. My love is Minji and that's it. No one else would ever be the owner of my heart, just her.
Minji's arms wrapped around me as she pulled away from the kiss and started to kiss all over my face. And at one point biting my cheek like she used to do back then. And I couldn't help but smile at the action.
She was still the same Minji.
I let out giggles after giggles as she kept attacking me with her kisses and I just let her because I missed her. I missed her so fucking much, it felt like I was grieving back then and never got past the first stage.
Minji disappeared in to the thin air and left no trace. None of the Kim's knew about her leaving so where was I even going to start searching? But I knew that she had to have gone to one of the many places we talked about repeatedly. After all, she wanted me to find her.
And if you're wondering on how I'm here, or what did I do with my parents. I left, once I was ninety percent sure of where Minji was, I fled. They don't know I'm here and they'll probably take forever to find me.
And I truly hope they never do.
They destroyed every last bit of my happiness. They burnt everything that I ever had of Minji. Even the Polaroid's that I took with her on our dates. They were cruel and shattered every last piece of my heart. I don't want to ever see them again.
I waited until I was fully graduated to go look for her, it's not even a week since I graduated and I'm already here at the shore, that belonged to one of the many places we dreamed of one day being at together.
It still didn't feel real, I pulled Minji's head back slightly as I grabbed her face and looked at every feature on her face. From those thick eyebrows, to the perfect nose, to those lips that I kissed so many times, and to the brown of her eyes that I always lost myself in.
"I'm totally not real, Hanni." Minji joked but I hit her gently where it hurts with my thigh and she let out a grunt as she chuckled. "Still so violent." She said, kissing the tip of my nose. But then it all fell on me, I should've really hit her hard where it hurts.
"I should be mad at you, you left me. You disappeared." I said as tears formed in my eyes and Minji quickly cupped my face and pressed our foreheads together. "I know, I'm sorry. Being far away from you was the answer that I believed was right for the both of us, but I was wrong." She said as she looked deeply in to my eyes.
"So why didn't you come back?" I asked and Minji shut her eyes close. "I stayed here and started to build everything for us. Once you found me, you'd have a place to stay and never go back to that horrid home with your parents. I did everything for our future, so that you could stay here with me." She said and I furrowed my eyebrows.
"I made a life here as I waited for you. You don't have to go back to Korea and go back to that life. Stay here with me and enjoy the life that I've worked hard for us. Let's try this all over again, Hanni." She said and she didn't have to tell me twice.
Wherever she is, I'll be. It's me and her, remember?
I brought her down and kissed her with even more passion. Holding her with a strength I never knew I had. I was never going to let her go again, this woman is mine for the rest of her life and no one will ever separate us ever again.
"I'm staying here with you." I whispered and Minji gave me a giant smile as she brought me in to another kiss and held me with gratitude.
This is exactly what waited for all these years.
I found my way back to her.
