Promises

First Month Away

"No, I know. You don't like the tour life, but come on. We can stay at this really beautiful hotel, and I can take you to my concert. I really want to do something special for you." I told him and he shook his head, kissing Snowball's head.

"You don't have to, really. Just wait a couple of weeks. It's our anniversary then, and you can plan something." He said with a bright smile, and I covered my face a little as I smiled back.

"Are you ready for me to come home this weekend?" I asked and he smiled and sat up.

"More than ready, I already have what we're going to do set up." He said and I smiled.

"Which is?" I asked and he shook his head.

"Nope, it's a surprise." I rolled my eyes at his voice that sounded like a little kid's.

"Whatever." I said and looked at the time, seeing it was half an hour past midnight. "Hey, time to go to sleep." I told him and he started to whine, rolling around.

"I don't want to go to sleep." He whined.

"You have school in the morning baby, just go to sleep. I'm staying on with you, remember?" I asked and he nodded, looking at me. I watched him lay down and stare at me through the computer. "Sleep." I told him, and he giggled before closing his eyes.

"You're so bossy." He mumbled and I couldn't help but to smile, staying quiet and watching him. He laid there and just stayed peacefully, and I knew he was drifting off to sleep. At first, I could see him blink perfectly while his eyes were shut, but then the blinks got slower and slower and before long I couldn't even see them. He was sleeping and I smiled, shifting around in my hotel bed, before finally closing my eyes and going to sleep. I slept close to the computer, for the fact that I longed for his presence.

I couldn't help but to hear a muffled scream, making me jolt awake and I looked over to the computer. I saw Kookie screaming into his pillow and trying to move away and I could hear his cries. This was the third time he's had a nightmare, and I knew it was my fault because I wasn't with him.

"Kookie, Kookie!" I screamed his name into the computer until he woke up himself. He looked around and then at me before face planting into the pillow.

"I'm sorry." He sniffled before looking up at me.

"It's okay, I'm here." I told him and he made a face that told me 'yeah, but not really'. "Why don't instead of me coming there, you come here, that way we can be together longer?" I asked and he sat up, wiping his eyes and shrugged.

"I don't know, I just want you home." He told me with a pleading look.

"But if I come home, then I won't be there that long." I told him.

"Yeah, not to mention that you always try to run away." He told me and I sighed.

"Kookie, I've tried to tell you that I wasn't running away, I-"

"I will come." He said, and I looked at him in shock.

"Really?" I asked and he nodded.

"Yeah, but I don't want to be around fans, I just want to be around you." I smiled and watched him sniffle a little.

"That's fine by me. No fans." I told him.

"He should be here any minute, I'm so ready to see him. You have me cleared for today right? Nothing but the concert." I asked Jimin and he nodded, looking back towards the flight gate.

I was more than excited to know that he was going to be here and that he would be staying with me for a while. He said he didn't like this lifestyle, and the fact that he was coming here to be with me for a bit made me more happy than ever. I couldn't stop smiling or moving, even more so when his flight appeared and I could see everyone start to get off. People coming through the door, one by one until there was no longer anyone coming out. I searched the crowd, looking behind me to find Kookie, but couldn't see one glimpse of him. I turned back towards the gate just in time to see him, and if I wasn't relieved to see him, I probably would have started screaming.
