Tender Love {Chanyeol/Jongin} [English Ver.]

~63~

~13 months later~

Chanyeol looked around for the 10th time with his eyes opened as big as he could. He was nervous and excited: Naeun was coming back home. Her travelling year finished and he could not be happier: finally he'd have her with him and that time he would not let her leave him for so long.

In the months of July and August from the past year he travelled with her to a few countries from Latin America such as Brazil, Colombia and Dominican Republic. They had so much fun together and enjoyed exploring those countries. The culture: food, traditions, and the people made it a great experience. Sadly, after being in Dominican Republic, Chanyeol had to go back to South Korea and begin to work. One of the architects that saw his model at college asked him to collaborate with him in designing a hotel, which had many of the characteristics from Chanyeol's model: big with contemporary style. The hotel begun being built at the beginning of the year and was still under construction. It was expected to be completed by September, the following month. Moreover, Chanyeol was working in another project: refurbishment of a building from one of the populars entertainment agencies.

He looked at the watch on his wrist then the screen which announced the arrivals and bit his lip. The plane from Thailand had landed five minutes ago. A few minutes later people started coming out of the terminal but there was no sign of Naeun.

He was crazy to see her after so long, no matter if the last time he saw her was two months ago. On May, for her birthday and their anniversary, which was the following day of her birthday, he went to see her in Australia and they spent an amazing week together.

He missed her a lot while she was away. . , that's why the second he saw her coming out from the terminal carrying two suitcases he did not think it twice to quickly raise his hand and his voice, calling her. The moment she saw him her lips curved forming a big smile and she hurried to where he was. She wrapped her arms over his shoulders and hugged him tight as tears filled her eyes.

She had missed him so much.

"Finally. . ," Chanyeol whispered while embracing her. "I missed you."

"I missed you, too," she replied and kept hugging for a few minutes.

"You look so beautiful. Your hair have grown a lot since the last time I saw you," he said while touching her head.

The long hair he fell for was back again.

"I knew it'd make you happy," she said funny.

He grabbed her suitcases and began walking to the parking lot while talking. They arrived in less than two minutes and she got up in the car while Chanyeol put her luggage in the trunk. After that he sat in the pilot seat, and before putting the car in gear, he leaned to the back seats and grabbed what he had brought for her: a bouquet of her favorite flowers.

"Thank you!" She exclaimed.

They were beautiful but seemed like almost dying. Maybe because of the time being locked in the car.

He put the car in gear and she pulled out her hand so he grabs it.

"How was your flight?" He asked as he drived.

"Tiring. I feel like I need to sleep for two days. Travelling is exhausting."

"It is " He chuckled. "I'm upset though. You were supposed to come back last month. A year is twelve months, not thirteen."

"But I'm already here and that's what matters." She grinned at him making him smile.

"At least you came on time for Eunji and Jongin's wedding."
