Saranghaeyo, Noona!

Chapter 13

Then I felt him pull me closer to him and I was crushed by his strong arms.  As he is taller than me, his face is on top of my head, inhaling deeply. Without thinking, I found myself hugging him back, my arms encircled his waist.  At this moment, I don't want to think anymore. For once, I totally let loose myself...

He hugged me tighter.  As if he never wants to let go...

The next day...

Today is our flight going back to Manila. We're now here at the airport waiting to board. I looked around the boarding area, I sighed deeply, I'm going back home but I feel like there's a part of me that's going to be left here in Korea.

I suddenly thought of Mark, last night when we hugged each other, it felt so right. Like I really belong there, in his arms. But the problem is... there's a fight within me. My heart tells me that it's okay, that it's alright... But my mind tells me otherwise.

"A penny for your thought?" Dave said sitting beside me. I just smiled at him

"What are you thinking so deeply that makes your eyebrows twisted?" He asked smiling

"Nah! Just some random things" I replied

"That random things, does it include a flying guy that you're going to leave here in Korea?"

I looked at him and nodded.

"Now I regret why I even asked." He said.

"Dave..." I started

"Hey! Just joking! Okay, so tell me what's the problem?"

"Dave~ you're a good friend, but I don't think it's right for me to tell you about my worries regarding Mark. Thanks anyway for your concern." I patted him on his shoulder

"Sam, it's okay. Really! Even as a friend, I want to help you."

I looked at him with uncertain eyes. He smiled and wiggled his eyebrows up and down.

"Okay... Phew! Here goes... Well, I think... Uhmm... I think..."

"You think what???" Dave asked

"I think I'm falling in love with Mark." I said it rather quickly. There I said it.  And it feels refreshing. 

I looked at Dave's stunned face.  For a moment, he didn't move, until I shook his shoulder.

"Oh..." That's what he just said

"There.  That's my problem.  I think I'm falling in love with him.  What should I do? I know it's not right... but... but... I can't help it.  Argh! I'm an idiot! Letting myself to feel this way towards a kid. And an idol for that matter! I know I'm just in for a heartbreak if I let this happen."

"Hmm... Well, it will not be easy, for sure, but if that's what will make you happy, then... Go for it." He said

"But you're forgetting something, Dave.  He already likes someone else." I said sadly.  Then my phone rings.  It's Mark.  I excused myself to Dave to answer the call

"Hello!" I answered

"Hi, Sam! So, are you at the airport already?"
