LUNA
-Another round... whoohoo!- I was already drunk, but not drunk enough to erase that image from my mind.
Angie was dancing somewhere, lost in the crowd.
- I think you already had enough.-
His voice invaded my brain, making me dizzy. So much that my knees buckled.
- I got you.- he said, lifting me. He carried me in his arms all the way to the car.
I got in, and he got in after me.
- I needed to expl...- I threw myself on top of him and kissed him. Kissed him like she would never dare.
- I'm so sorry, my light. I swear it wasn't my idea. She caught me off guard. -
He said, holding my face in his hands.
- I know, it's just...this...this...- I didn't have the courage to say it.
-I know. We will work it out. I promise. -
- How? How can we make it work? You will be in Korea and I will be in France. This..-
-Don't say it. Please. Have faith in us.-
I didn't know what to say, so I kissed him. A kiss full of questions and hope.
- Stay with me tonight.- I nodded and cuddled in his arms all the ride to the hotel.
-We are here.-  I opened my eyes and looked up at him.
I wasn't feeling drunk anymore.
- You know we need to talk, right?-
- Yes. That is why I came all the way to France. Let's go inside and talk.-

We walked into the hotel lobby. I walked past him and went to the hotel bar. I took a seat at a table. He joined me right away.
We ordered two coffees and waited.
After the waiter left, I said - What happened with Ming-Sue?-
He told me everything about the dinner. How they shared some drinks afterward, and how she pulled him in for an unwanted kiss.
- Now, there is a problem.- he said. - Her popularity skyrocket, and so did the ticket sale. The company wants us to fake a relationship while on tour. I agreed, under one condition.-
- what?
- After the tour is over, I'm leaving Korea.-
- What?! Where are you going?-
- Wherever you are, of course. - he took my hands on his. - I'm taking a break after the tour. I was thinking we could spend some time getting to know each other better and see where this is taking us.-
- If we survive this tour. You, your "girlfriend," and me. -
- Don't say it like that.- he kissed my knuckles. - We will make it work, I promise. -
- Ok. We will make it work.-
