My boyfriend is Lee Min-ho

Chapter Twenty seven - Back in Korea

Travelling had never been more tiring like now. I had always thought that it would be fun to travel around the world, especially if it was all paid for. Now that I was part of the crowd, I began to understand why people didn't like to travel for work. More so, for people with families to return to.

We spent approximately a month in each city, running shows every evening, sometimes two a day on weekends. A typical day would start with morning breakfast for those who woke up in time for breakfast, followed by lunch and free time. Since we had to report to stage by three in the afternoon for make-up and warm-ups and what-nots, there wasn't much time for us to explore the city. Sometimes, we simply skip lunch so that we could have a longer time in time. But in some cities, like Milan, the shops didn't open till past noon or late mornings.

As we traveled closer and closer to home, I was experiencing a roller coaster of feelings. Excited because I would be home; troubled because I still hadn't decide if I would meet Min-ho. Frankly speaking, I missed him a lot. I wanted to see him again but I wasn't sure if he would see me in return. I was so stressed out that I kept making mistakes during rehearsals.

"Ashlyn! Could you please try and concentrate?" our director cum manager yelled at me when I made the same mistake after like four times.

"I'm sorry!" I apologised humbly. I wished I wouldn't had to but it just happened.

"Are you okay?" Shane asked after the rehearsal as we returned to our dressing rooms. "You looked distracted these days." Then he grinned. "Are you excited because we are going to Singapore next week?"

"Huh?" I looked at him in surprise. "Oh... Ya... perhaps..."

He eyed me curiously. "No... I don't think so. I think you are really worried about something. What happened?"

"I'm okay," I assured him. "Maybe the constant traveling is tiring me out," I lied.

"You sure?" he placed his hand on my forearm and gave me a comforting squeeze. "You can share with me if you need a listening ear."

I smiled lightly. "I'm fine, really. But I'll remember your suggestion."

It was April when we finally arrived in Singapore. The weather in Singapore was forever sizzling hot. It had since been a year since I returned home and somehow I had gotten accustomed to the weather in London and couldn't stand the heat as much as my fellow travelling mates.

Ashton was at the airport to pick me up. In the recent months, I heard that he had gotten himself a girlfriend. I was looking forward to meet the girl who managed to capture my brother's heart. He was a tough nut to crack.
