She searched both my eyes, panic, confusion, shock crossed her eyes as I searched for her answer.

'Korea?' she spoke uncertain. My heart dropped a little. I grabbed her hands.

'Ok. I know it's scary. It's really scary. But you said you want to see the world right? You work online so you can work from Korea, right? And you just said you loved me too, so come and be with me, isn't it simple?' I pleaded earnestly, as if it was all as simple as I was making it out to be.

'Taemin, I want nothing more than to be with you. This is like some crazy dream right now, and I love dreams but I'm a realist. I have questions, things I need to arrange.' She looked like she was fighting to stay in reality as I was flying high in a dream with her.

'Ok, ask me. Let me help you' I said positively.

She eyed me hesitantly, finally smiling and saying slowly, 'Ok, so Korea, how does this work? Where do I live? How long will I stay?' excitement spilled into her words.

'Easy,' I answered, happily 'I have a house, so you stay with me. I have fast WIFI, so you can work there too, or anywhere you want. For how long to stay that's up to you, let's go with let's just see what happens' I smiled widely.

'Let's see what happens,' She repeated in a whisper, staring blankly at me.

'Yeah, if you hate it I promise you we can go somewhere else. I travel a lot, so you can come with me, all the time.'

'That's another thing, you work so much, I don't want to be a burden to you, I don't want you worrying about me all the time.'

'Ok. So, it's true I work a lot. But I don't work 24/7. I do have time, you want to see the world, right? Come with me and see it, with me. Please'

'Taemin I'm not worried about spending time alone, I can understand about your work. But I will be in a whole other country I have never been to before, don't know the language and don't know anyone. I like being independent, but I might need help . . . 'she mumbled the last part almost as if she was ashamed to admit it.

'I will look after you' I stated, confidently. I would do everything I could to look after her. I needed her now. 'Will you come please?'

She looked into my eyes for the longest time. I knew she was conflicted at wanting to come and the practicalities of coming. Eventually her heart won out.

'I couldn't say no even if I wanted to' she grinned magically.

I screamed, making her jump. I was beyond happy. I wrapped my arms around her and wrestled her over making her scream and giggle too.

I kissed her several times before pulling away and looking down into her eyes.

'It'll be great. I'll arrange it all, don't worry about anything. '

'You will?' she questioned smirking and cocking her eye.

'Ok well I will get people to arrange it all' I laughed.
