What would you do if life made you choose between 'Success' and 'Love'?
Fate is a born devil. I wonder who are those lucky people who get to be with the 'Love of their Life' forever?
What happens when one chooses 'success' and the other one 'love'...
"Su Mi-ya, open the door" Yoongi knocked desperately.
Su Mi was sitting on the couch cuddled up, watching her favorite tv show. It was 8 P.M and Su Mi wasn't expecting Yoongi to visit her home today. She rushed to open the door.
"Love," He said, "Love, You won't believe it. I got a callback. I got a call back from them." Yoongi was almost shivering in excitement.
Su Mi had never seen Yoongi this excited. His eyes sparkled and the smile was so wide on his face she could literally count all his teeth.
"You remember I went to Seoul a few weeks ago. Okay, so I went there to audition for an Idol group. But I told them I was more interested in producing and composing music. And you know what! Oh my God! They called me a few minutes back and told me that I made it...! I fucking made it....!" Yoongi hardly could hold on to his breath.
Su Mi stared at Yoongi for a moment trying to grasp the information that just hit her at point blank. A million thoughts raced her mind as to how she should react to this.
Should she be angry that Yoongi did not even consider telling her that he was going to Seoul to audition? Or yell at the fact that how she wasn't even given a hint, a small heads-up?
But she looked at his face, his priceless smile, and his eyes not able to contain what his heart was feeling.
So she jumped in excitement. "Really Yoongi," she hugged him "Oh my god Yoongiya. Congratulations. Congratulations. I am so happy."
"Are you sure?" Yoongi asked. "You are not angry?"
"No love. I am all happy for you," she said while still smiling. "When do you have to leave?"
"In a week. I have to leave in a week." Yoongi said hugging her lightly in an excited tone.
"Oh! Is it? Then we have a lot to do in such a short time. When should we start Yoongi?" she asked smiling yet again.
"Tomorrow. Is it okay? We will go shopping tomorrow."
"Okay. Tomorrow at 10 a.m. Let's start early." Su Mi kissed his cheek.
"I will leave for now. I have to tell my family. I am saying I got a job in Seoul. I won't mention about the audition or nor say that I will be a trainee." Yoongi said. Su Mi just nodded. He hugged her again and left through the door.
As soon as he left, Su Mi looked at her mother who was standing afar as a spectator. Her eyes welled up and she ran into her mother's arms and started sobbing with all her heart.
"I know dear. I know" her mother consoled patting her back.
"He hasn't even realized it, mom. What will I do after he leaves in a week? I love him. How am I suppose to be without him? she sobbed almost gasping for air.
Yoongi was a few yards from the gate when started drizzling. He walked back to Su Mi's house to borrow an umbrella. He saw through the window of the hall, Su Mi was crying like a kid in her mother's arms. Her mother constantly trying to calm her down.
That was when it hit Yoongi.
He was so happy about the fact that he found what he aspired for and that maybe his dreams and efforts were finally coming true. He was getting this feeling that he was finally going to be at a place where he belonged. He'd be composing music and be doing it with all his soul.
Not once did Su Mi cross his mind. Not once did he think that accepting this would mean leaving everything behind; Daegu, his family, his friends and most importantly Su Mi.
He was leaving for Seoul for God knows how many years. He was leaving. Yoongi slowly realizing it now. Su Mi would be in Daegu. He was leaving Su Mi behind. He only had a week with her. A week! His heart ached at this thought. His eyes teared up and his knees felt weak. Everything was about to change and Su Mi realized it before he did and yet she didn't flinch a bit when he was all happy.
He was still looking through the window. Su Mi was a mess. Her loud cries could be heard through the house. What did he do to deserve her? he thought to himself.
His heart understanding her pain. His heart making a promise to Su Mi, while soaking wet in the rain outside her house, that no matter what comes ahead he will never leave her alone.
He promised from afar that Seoul won't be able to change the love he found in Daegu.
Yoongi walked back to his house not knowing what to feel.
Guilt or freedom?

Yoongi writes-
Dreams are calling me so so far away,
To a different city, to a different place....
I look at you, I look at you.
What do I lose in this chase? No, definitely not you.
I can find another dream,
Where will I find another you?
