You were tired but couldn't sleep walks around the block would always make you tired.. you threw on some clothes and grabbed your phone and headphones and went outside, you were relaxed and you started thinking about what happened a couple years ago..
*three years ago*
You were new to Korea, you came here for college for a little while to see if you liked it.. it was lonely because you missed your friends and family but you started making more friends at school so you were feeling a little better.
You got dressed and went downstairs to make some breakfast, you decided to grab a granola bar since you were about to be late, you slipped on your shoes and grabbed your jacket and backpack and ran to the bus station.
You ran as fast as you could to class you had only five minutes to get there, you reached the door and sat down and grabbed your books and the teacher walked in and everyone stood up and greeted the teacher and you all sat back down and sighed "how was I almost late it's only the first week.." you shook your head and started writing down everything from the board.
It was lunchtime you really hungry since you only had a granola bar for breakfast so you went to a nearby cafe, "I'd like a matcha tea iced w/ almond milk and a slice of that cake" you pointed, he nodded and told the barista what you ordered so you sat down and waited.
You already finished eating but you still had 20 minutes until your next class so you decided to stay there and do the homework you were already assigned earlier, You had your headphones in and were listening to music but had one earbud out just in case.
"Is anybody sitting here?" You heard a guys voice so you looked up a little annoyed "no..the seats open.." you looked back down and continued your work,
"Can I get your number.." you look back up "I just saw you asking 3 other girls the same thing.. no thanks" he sat down across and you rolled your eyes and went back to your homework, "your Korean is good but it would be even better if you gave me your number.." you were about to snap at him but you heard someone behind you "she kindly said no the first time just go dude.." you look behind you at saw a cute guy standing there, the other guy got up and left, you stood up "thank you.. I didn't think he would've left" you lightly laughed and he smiled back at you "ah, I got to go I'm going to be late" you grabbed your stuff and jogged back to class.
You were walking home ..maybe I should get something to eat since it's going to be supper soon and I don't feel like cooking. You walked to a small restaurant near your house that you visit quite often since your too lazy to cook, you sit down and order a bimbibap and soju.. it was Friday anyways, you were eating when you heard the door open so you looked over you made eye constant so you quickly look down at your food when you looked back up he was sitting infront of you, "you're that girl from earlier.. I didn't even get your name before you sped off" you laugh "I'm sorry about that I was going to be late for class.." he nodded "it's okay I'm Kwon Hyuk but dean is my nickname.." you smiled "my name is y/n"
You guys started talking about random stuff and ended up exchanging numbers.
You and dean meet up almost everyday during lunch you learned he actually worked nearby and lived in the same apartment building that you do so he'd walk with you home.
It was almost a year of you being in Seoul which was your deadline basically you college sent you over to Seoul since you were taking Korean classes but you extended your stay another 6 months but they said you had to comeback next week but you didn't know how to bring this up to dean.
Dean invited you over to watch your favorite show together you made popcorn and passed it to him and smiled. They were saying some cheesy lines on tv and you cringed "ahh that's so cheesy" you said shaking you head and grabbing some popcorn
"I thought girls liked cheesy lines" he said laughing
"I can only accept a certain amount of cheesy" you said back. The episode was over and you guys sat and talked for awhile "..dean" he looked up at you and you continued "I've been meaning to bring this up for the last couple weeks but.." you sighed "I have to go back home next week" he stared at you for awhile and finally spoke "for what? Just to see your parents and you'll be back right?" You shook your head "no my college wants me to go back for the next 2 years" you said with a tear falling down your face
"Ah what am I crying for?" You were about to wipe your tears but you felt deans hand wiping your tears which made you cry harder he pulled you into a hug and rubbed your back "don't worry we'll see each other again.. remember to always call me" you smiled and you guys parted "I promise!" which made him smile.
You were packing for tomorrow since it was the day you'd be leaving it's already 12:00am but your flight is at 7:00am so you'd only have 7hrs to sleep. You spent everyday with dean he said "I want to spend as much time with you until you leave".
You finished packing and decided to take a shower and go to sleep.
*beep...beep...beep...beep*
You sighed and turned your alarm off and threw on a oversized hoodie and pulled your hair up, you grabbed your suitcase and went downstairs and slipped on your shoes, and decided to text dean.
You: "on my way to the airport.."
Dean: "do you have a ride?"
You: "..no I was just going to take a taxi"
Dean: "I'll take you then.. go ahead and eat"
You made cereal and watched tv until he got there.
"Promise you'll message and call me often?"
You smiled and nodded "yes I promise, I'll call you when I land okay?" He smiled back, nodded and gave you a hug. You were about to board the plane when you felt arms wrap around you again,
"If I don't say this now I never will.." he sighed "y/n I like you..more than a friend I always will" you smiled and was about to respond when the flight attendant ushered you to hurry up and board the plane, you muttered "I do too".
*now*
Your job wanted to send you over to Korea for 5 years, since you knew Korean. You loved your job and would do almost anything for it.. you didn't even see it as a job.. you were a producer/songwriter you really enjoyed meeting new artists and people.
You entered the building of your new job and sat down in the studio and waited for your boss to enter while you were waiting you played on your phone.
You heard the door creak open so you looked up and he looked very familiar. You stood up and introduced yourself "Hi, I'm y/n " he just stared at you for awhile and then sat down..
"hi, I'm dean"
