Salanghae

Part 16

  "Yuri! Wake up!" I heard a familiar voice calling me.
I slowly opened my eyes, as I stretched.
"Yuri. Get dressed, you have some errands to run." With that my mum left the room.
I carefully stood up, and walked up to my wardrobe.
I got some shorts and place t-shirt out, and got dressed.
"I'm already!" I shouted, as I ran down the stairs.
"Eat your breakfast first, okay?" My mum placed some toasts on the table.
I sat down at the table and grabbed a toast.
"Can you do a little shopping for me?" My mum handed me a shopping list.
"Yeah..."
"Here, buy yourself something nice to wear." My mum handed me some money.
"Why, I don't need any new clothes." I protested, shopping was one of the things I hate the most. It's just a waste of time in my opinion.
"Yuri, when was it when you last went shopping?"
"It wasn't that long ago..."
"It was a very long time ago, almost a year." My mum got a little annoyed.
"Okay, okay. I'll go."

(Time skip)
(Finally, I've got everything I need). I bought myself a simple t-shirt and a pair of simple skinny jeans.
I looked at the time. "Oh no! It's already five PM. The concert is in two hours. What am I going to do?!"
I ran back home as fast as I could, tripping couple of times on my way.
"I'm home!" I took off my shoes and ran upstairs, to quickly get changed.
I wore the nicest outfit I could have found. I grabbed the tickets, and ran downstairs.
"Where do you think you're going?" My mum stopped me.
"I won two VIP tickets for Seventeen's concert a while ago. I already promised Jun that I'll be there. I really have to go. I'm already running late." I explained, as fast as I could.
"Yuri. You are going to be Pledis' trainee tomorrow. Don't you think you need to get ready? When you go now, you won't be able to get enough sleep for tomorrow."
"That's my problem. Besides, the concert might also be something I can learn from, Seventeen are in Pledis entertainment as well." I managed to come up with a great reason for mum to let me go.
"Okay then, but you are taking the taxi both ways." My mum handed me some money.

Before I knew it, I already arrived near enough the concert's location. The taxi driver drove me up to a bus stop.
The worst thing about it, was the fact that I didn't have a clue which way I was supposed to go.
Suddenly, my phone rang.
"Yes?" I picked up, without even looking at the number.
"Where are you? I'm already waiting at the entrance." I heard Minju's voice.
"Sorry, Minju. The taxi driver just dropped me off at a random bus stop. He said that I should be able to get there within the next five minutes, but honestly, I'm completely lost." I tried my best to keep calm.
"Okay, apart from the bus stop, what else can you see?"
"Umm-... there's a huge field behind me. There really isn't anything else apart from that." I looked around before answering.
"Okay... Can you see a path just couple of meters away from the bus stop?"
"Wait, I'll see." I walked took couple of steps to my left, but I couldn't see anything, so I walked back to the bus stop, and took couple of steps to the right, there I noticed a path. "Minju, there is a path, leading deeper into the field."
"Okay, then just follow the path, and you'll see some lights, I'll be waiting." With that Minju hung-up.

"Yuri! You're finally here. We're already five minutes late." Minju shouted, as I ran up to her.
We walked up to the entrance. "We have two VIP tickets." I handed the tickets to the guard.
"You're late. The concert has already started. There were people that waited for almost six hours, and you two just arrived?" The guard said. "You know that the tickets, already expired?"
"What?! The tickets don't expire until the end of the concert, which is about two or three hours from now!" Minju protested.
"Okay, then. But these VIP tickets are no different from the ordinary tickets at this point." The guard let us in. When we both walked in, Seventeen were just finishing singing 'Aju NICE'.
"Yuri, come on, we can barely see anything from here. Let's see if we can get closer." Minju dragged me through the crowed.
"Minju. There're too many people around us. I can't stand it. Let's go back!" I began to panic.
Just as Seventeen finished the song, all of the fans began screaming.
(What am I going to do? It's too loud.)
"Thank you all for supporting us. Before we continue, we would like one person to come up to the stage." As S.coups said this all of the fans began screaming.
"Lee Yuri! I know you're here!" Jun shouted.
All of the fans went quiet for a moment.
I was unable to move an inch. (Jun, what am I supposed to do? Why are you doing this to me? Why are you putting me on the spot?)
Suddenly a photo of me appeared behind the seventeen, followed by the slideshow of all the rest photos, we got done in the photoshoot.
"Yuri! Stop hiding and come to the stage." Jun repeated.
"Yuri. Don't be like this. Come on, let's go!" Minju dragged me down through the crowd, as I followed nervously, with my head down.
As we stopped in front of the stage, Seventeen prepared themselves for the next song.
Seventeen began to sing 'Love letter'.
The song turned everyone's attention away from me and onto Seventeen.
After Seventeen were finished with the song, Jun bent down towards me and held out an envelope. "Yuri, I have something for you."
I was unsure of what I meant to do.
Before I have done anything, Jun jumped off of the stage, and stood in front of me, slightly bent, looking me directly in the eyes. "Yuri, please take this and read it." Jun handed me the envelope.
Sill a little unsure, I opened the envelope, and took out the piece of paper that was in it.
There was only one word written on the piece of paper: 'Salanghae.'
My eyes widen.
Before I could read the word again, I felt something warm and soft pressed against my lips.
After what it seemed like ten minutes, Jun slowly pulled away.
"I love you Yuri."
