Young, Wild, & Free

Ch. 23

It was January 8th, the day Annabelle leaves to go back to California. The boys said their goodbyes to her as Annabelle and I left for the airport. I looked back slightly and Zelo had tears running down his face as the others were trying to calm him down. He's fallen in love Annabelle. I helped Annabelle put her suitcase and carry-on bag into the trunk of the taxi. We slid into the cab and headed towards the airport.

Once at the airport, I helped Annabelle through the ticket/baggage line. Before she went through security, we decided to grab a bite to eat since we were extremely early.

"Hey Belle?" I said.

"Hm?"

"Do you like Zelo?" I asked and she stopped eating.

"What if I said yes?" she asked.

"I had a feeling that you two liked each other." I said smiling.

"I do like him but how can we date if we live in two different countries?" she asked.

"Secretly. Don't let anyone know at school. Keep your phone locked tightly at all times." I said.

"What about mom and dad?" she asked.

"Um, they probably wouldn't care seeing how they like Yongguk a lot." I said quietly.

"Shit, sis, I need to get going." she said, we cleaned up and headed for security.

"Text me when you get home and make sure to be safe." I said as we hugged and she went to the line.

I watched as my sister went through security, she waved to me and disappeared. I sighed walking out to where the taxis were. I hailed one and the driver took me home. I unlocked my apartment door, opened it and only saw a shirtless Yongguk asleep on the couch. I guess the others went back to their dorm to keep Zelo company. 

I walked over to Yongguk, sat on the floor and placed my hand upon his hand. Who knew you could love someone who does their best for millions around the world, knowing you may or may not see them for a while. 

All I did was rest my head on the couch and fell asleep because when I woke up, I was on the couch and Yongguk was in the kitchen cooking. I sat up and noticed Yongguk was still shirtless. I looked at my phone and I had a text from Zelo. It read; I've fallen in love with Annabelle, please don't be mad at me. I then replied, I'm not mad, I'm happy, please treat her right. 

Yongguk and I ate dinner together like normal but afterwards, he had to say his goodbye and go back to the dorms. Tomorrow was the first day back to school after the holidays and New Years.

I took a long hot shower and changed into some pajamas, I wasn't tired but I needed to go to sleep.
