Hanni

The connection between me and Minji has never shut down. It was still there despite all the time that we spent away from one another. And if you ever doubted our love, you have no sense of faith.

I was now inside of the beautiful beach-house that Minji owned. I was standing right in front of the giant glass windows that let me see such beautiful view.

If my mom saw Minji now, she'd probably die of embarrassment and regret every single rude comment that she dared to spit out back then.

"Why Ibiza?" I asked as I could feel Minji behind me. She let out a hum as she hugged me from behind, letting her arms hold me tightly, her chin on my shoulder. My hands finding her arms and caressing the smooth skin.

"I could've chosen Madrid, it's beautiful there too. But you love the beach, so I chose a place where you wouldn't be far from the beach." She said and I could feel my heart slightly melting. So thoughtful.

"I also could've chosen Barcelona but I wanted a place more reserved for us, a place just for you and me with no one around us to judge or control us." She said as she kissed the back of my head. I leaned in to the kiss and I could feel her smiling against my hair.

"I noticed three rooms, what's up with that?" I asked and Minji skillfully turned me around to face her. This was such a better view.

"One room is mine—now ours—the other room is my office, and the last room...is for our future babies?" My eyes widened and Minji seemed to be blushing at full blast as she stammered an explanation.

"I have plans of marriage—that could be turned down if you don't want to marry me—and I definitely want kids with you, Hanni. I may be thinking too ahead of myself but I just really want a family with you. And it could also be turned down if you don't want kids." She said in all her cute shyness and I couldn't help but squish her cheeks.

"I want all of that with you, Minji. But let me adjust to the life here in Spain first. And then we can do everything we planned of." I said with a giggle and Minji gave me a relieved smile. Wasn't she just so cute?

"Did you really wait there every day?" I asked once my giggle died down and Minji's eyes looked at me so softly. "I did, I believed in you to find me again, in that same exact spot. I knew that you would be guided straight to me one day, and I'm happy to say that I wasn't wrong." She said.

"What if I didn't find you?" I asked and Minji gave me a sad smile. "I would've still stood there everyday until I died. I would've waited for you like a stupid fool without a purpose in life. I would've let my body rot in that spot if I had to." I chocked out a sob at Minji's words.

Why was she so intense sometimes?

"But you're here, that's all that matters to me, Hanni. In bone and flesh you stand before me and give me the honor of loving you once more." She said, smiling widely as she pressed our foreheads together.

"Minji, I don't know what to say to you. There's so much I want to say and I can't seem to settle my thoughts. Not when all I can think of is my love for you. And the sorry I feel for everything that happened back then, I left you. I let you go without a reason." I said and Minji furrowed her eyebrows.

"My mother threatened me that she'd hurt you, Minji. I never wanted to let you go. It was for your sake. I didn't want her to do anything. And do you think I really wanted to let you go when Gaeul was chasing after you like a bitch?"I said with an eye roll.

"Gaeul herself was never truly much of the reason why I wanted to break up with you. She was a pest that was getting on my nerves but I thought that it was best for me to let go for both of our sanity's. Our mental health's were at their last straw. I never wanted to give in to her games and let her watch us fall apart in the way she wanted." I looked at Minji with tears coating my eyes.

"I loved you so much and wanted to fix it all that day in graduation. I wanted to tell you that I was stupid and that I was the one to blame for all of it, that I never deserve for you to love me ever again, and then you told me that you were leaving and you took that part of me with you, Minji. I went through hell without you but I was determined to find you. It took me so long to find you because I was so scared of being wrong. I didn't want to fail you, me, and us. I should've came here sooner but you have to understand my fear." I said and Minji pulled me tightly against her.

"Danielle was right all along, I was stupid. She told me it repeatedly. She told me to leave with you, that I should've trusted in our love and let myself be taken by you to our dream home to live our dream life. And every time I saw her with Haerin I kept getting reminded of my stupidity. I wanted peace, and never realized the chaos I set our hearts in." I said as I was now sobbing. A part of me didn't even know if I was making any kind of sense.

"I was only able to love you in my dreams every night. The lonely nights where I would close my eyes and see you so vividly. That I could feel your touch against my skin, that I could feel you against me. I was crazy!" Minji pulled away from me.

"Then that makes me crazy too. I dreamt of you all the time. Even when I was wide awake and just swearing that I could feel you. I lost my mind inside this house so many times. I regretted leaving so many times but I never found myself able to leave this place and go look for you instead. I was scared that I'd be the only one in love, and that I would've been giving a reason to leave once more." She said and my eyes widened.

"I was scared that your heartbeat wouldn't be one with my own. That our heartbeats were no longer matched up." I looked at her with tears that tipped over the edge and fell down my delicate skin.

"I was selfish, despite the fact that I knew that you being with me was consuming your being. But I couldn't find myself to let you go first. I just couldn't, the same way you didn't want to. But you were the stronger one between us, and took that decision for me." She let me go and turned away from me.

"I want to make everything right, I want us to truly make it work this time. I want you to be mine once more. I want your love and all of you." She said with a plead in her voice.

"I never loved anyone else, my heart, soul, and body are only yours, Hanni. I'm yours, you have to believe me." She said turning back around and looking at me with those pretty eyes and I found myself melting.

"I believe you and I want the same thing. When I told you that I was going to stay, I meant it. I'm not going anywhere. This time it'll truly be forever for us. No more running, hiding, and letting go." I said as I pulled her towards me.

"It's just you and me this time, forever."

And with that, I sealed her lips with my own.
