Moving On [Seventeen Fan-fic]

Chapter 29

As soon as the plane took it's stop, the butterflies in Mingyu's stomach flew around; making him more nervous. He grabbed his bag and waited for the passengers to leave making him the last one. The line was not that long since it was quite an empty plane ride. He walked out of the airport and flagged a cab to the nearest train station.

Reaching the station, he searched for the name tag to purchase his tickets. After all those were done, he got on the train and waited for it to get going. His patience was about to die out, he wanted to hold onto her tightly. He wanted to comfort her. He didn't want her to be alone. He knew she hated it.

The train finally moved and the timer on his phone finally started, the five hours countdown. It was too long. He slowly dialed her number and tapped on the call button. He raised his phone next to his ears and listened to the ringing tone. "Hello--" he suddenly hung up as soon as he heard her voice. That sleepy voice that he wanted to hear every morning.

"I'm coming" he said in a low voice and smiled out of the window, taking in the scenery that Jin saw on her way back home.

Three hours left and Mingyu found himself being more nervous than seeing Jin for the first time as she joined the group in high school.

'Are you sure you're fine with me here?' Mingyu stared at her blankly and quickly shook his head. "I don't care. As long as you don't get in my way" he scooted further from her.

'Alright I'll just keep this distance since you're so afraid of girls. Must be gay' her reply made him glare at her. "You must be mad. Crazy pig"

'Whatever. Just keep quiet' she turned around to face the other side to eat her sandwich. Seungcheol and Junhui stared at them and snickered silently. Mingyu smiled to himself and elbowed her back, making her flinch almost choking on the piece of bread in her mouth.

'You're an annoying gay' she turned around and pushed him off his seat, making the rest laugh out loud in the cafeteria. "You eat so loud like a pig Kim Jinhee" he smirked as he wiped his bottom and sat next to her again.

'I hate you' "But I like you"

The memories of his first confession replayed in his head and a smile could help but be shown on his face. "You must be happy, young man" an unknown voice was heard and Mingyu turned to the lady next to him. She looked like she was in her seventies. Mingyu smiled and gave her a nod, "I can't wait to see someone that's really important to me"

"Is it a girlfriend?" she nudged him and chuckled. "Kids these days are romantic but not that romantic compared to my days. Do you want to know what we did back in the days?"

The lady told Mingyu her stories and he stared at her in awe as he listened carefully to her speaking in her dialect. Little did her know, they almost reached the province and the lady gave him a pat on his head "You will get there, young man. That miss is lucky to have someone like you" she gave a soft chuckle and the announcement came on.

"What does those youngsters say these days... Ahh Fighting" she pumped her fist and Mingyu smiled warmly. "Fighting, nice seeing you and hope you have a nice day too" he gave her a bow before she left her seat. Mingyu quickly walked off the train and held onto his bag as he made his way to the taxi stand.

The road was long but as long as he was standing on the same land as her, it's worth the wait. The distance will shorten as the time pass, that's what he was hoping for. The cab stopped in front of a path, "Oh I dropped someone here sometime this week as well" Mingyu smiled, he knew he was getting there. His heart pace quickened as he placed his foot on the ground. The long path stared back at him and he took his first step towards the place where the path led.

His last step stopped halfway as he looked ahead of him, the scenery: the green grass looking back at him, flowers everywhere, butterflies flying freely and Kim Jinhee's back facing him as she tended the roses in the garden. His mouth parted to call out her name but only air came out, and he quickly brought his phone out to take a picture of the scene. 'This might be the best picture of the century' He stared at the picture that he took and made himself take another step silently.

Mingyu clenched on his shirt trying to calm down as he felt his heart race like it would be the last time his heart would pump out blood to circulate to his body.

He took a deep breath opened his mouth once more.

"Kim Jinhee"

He let out a soft chuckle and felt his cheek wet.
