Is it Love? (Choi Young Do)

~Chapter 16~

Not all good things have to come to an end. Some things can last a lifetime as long as you allow them to do so.

Part 16~
(3 months later)

   I listened to the sound of my suitcase wheels rolling along the floor of the airport. the chatter in the building was light, and actually pretty relaxing. Everything was chill, but the sound of a loud girl shouting my name took away the peace of the airport for a moment. I looked forward and watched as the crowd of familiar peopl approached me, Lee Bo Na moving faster than anyone else. I chuckled and let go of my suitcase. "Don't you dare leave me without giving me a hug!" Bo Na pulled me closer, bumping into my suitcase and making it drop onto the cold airport floor. I laughed and hugged her back. "Please be well. Also please come back to see us soon. And don't you dare use the excuse I don't have money for the ticket, because you KNOW I'll pay for everything!" Bo Na added. I smiled and nooded. "Good luck at your highschool graduation. We're very proud of you." Chan Young spoke up. I turned to him and smiled. "Good luck at yours too. You guys will do just fine." I reassured him just in case there were any doubts. Kim Tan then decided to add his input as well. "Your're very bright and I think you'll have a lot of doors open ahead of you for the future. Just in case you hit a bump in the road, I'll be sure to back you up and hire you for Jeguk." He winked at me. I laughed and rolled my eyes. "I'll hold you to it!" I said with a wink back at him. I then made sure to hug everyone again. I pulled away to look at all of my friends. Lee Bo Na, Chan Eun Sang, Kang Ye Sol, Kim Tan, Yoon Chan Young, and even Myung Soo. Everyone had come to see me...except Young Do. He hadn't even texted me earlier in the morning or the night before. Perhaps he had come to his senses about us, and this was his way of letting go of what we probably shouldn't have together. Although I was happy at first, the thought of being without him made me sad. I sighed and turned away from everyone to head for my flight. Suddenly I heard a familiar voice shouting at me. "WAIT!!!"

I turned to see Young Do running towards me with luggage in his arms. As soon as he reached me, he dropped all of the luggage and hugged me tightly. "I'm so sorry! I was late because I was just packing everything up." He apologized to me. I smiled and rolled my eyes. "That's ok I guess. You just need to be more-" I paused to rethink his words. Then I opened my mouth with confusion clear in my tone, and said "Wait a minute...Did you just say packing?" I asked him with a raised eyebrow. I then looked again to see all of his luggage that he had dropped. I groaned and rolled my eyes. "Young Do, graduation is coming up very fast. Don't you know that you'll have to go there so you can graduate? You don't want to disappoint your mother by not showing up to walk across the stage or to get your diploma, do you?" I asked him while smirking. He pouted and looked down. "But I just...They can mail me the diploma and my mom would understand. I can just-" He started to try and bargain with me, but I simply cut him off by pulling him into a tight hug. When I pulled away from him, I gave him a heartfelt smile. "I'll see you after graduation Young Do. Take lots of pictures and stay healthy ok? Besides...I'm sure after you graduate then you'll have to come to America for a business trip, right?" I winked at him. He pouted for a moment, but soon he shaped up. He smiled and pulled me into a loving kiss. I didn't want to let go, but I knew this definitely wasn't the end of us. It wasn't the end of any of us. I was just putting the story on pause until I return to Korea someday. Soon enough, I'd be right back where I always wanted to be and  things would be like I never left.
I smiled widely and waved at everyone. Then I boarded the plane and headed home.
