Chasing the Sun - (On Hold✌)

Chapter 2: To See You

"Wait! Wait! What?" asked Marie when she got over her shock.

"I'm going to Korea," she repeated herself.

"I'll go with you," said Sophie enthusiastically.

"I heard you but I thought your saving for your dream house in the mountains?" Marie retorted.

"It can wait."

"Let's go. My gosh, I will definitely go with you," threatened Sophia who seemed to be much more excited than she was. "Who knows I might meet my fated Oppa there. Eeeehh!" she said giggling.

Marie couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Kurt was focused on his computer when Kim, his girlfriend, came bringing in food for them. He doesn't need to turn around to make sure it was her. He very well knew the sound of her stilettos and its getting closer to him.

Her arm snaked on his shoulder, smiled sweetly and kissed him. Kim really has a very beautiful face, nice body and a very outgoing personality. He could still remember the first time he saw her at the hotel in Hongkong 6 months ago. She was wearing a beautiful smile then.

His close friends knew how he and Kim's love story that started on internet as an idol-fan relationship. It is not a secret to his friends how much he really liked Kim or should he say Himawari.

That's right. It was almost 2 years ago when Himawari started following him in his SNS account and leaving messages for him almost everyday. He would always read his fan messages when he have time but sometime a year ago when he fell into a slump, that's when he started getting curious of her. Out of all the fans who sent messages to him, it was only her who seemed to have guessed right about what he was feeling at that moment.

That time he has been busy making music for other singers but when it came to the time when he had to think of songs for the new Team H album, he was lost. He couldn't think of any. It seemed like he wanted to make the best for Team H and he ended in a slump. He was sad for a while.

With all the post he had shared in his SNS account it was only Himawari who seemed to have realized something was wrong with him. He remember one time, he was stuck in traffic while on his way to the studio. He posted a picture of the bridge and the sky. While everyone was greeting him and saying the picture was beautiful, she on the other hand, gave him another piece of her mind. She said to go take time off and just enjoy nature.

'Sometimes the things we wanted wont come at the time when we really wanted to have them, not because they are not for us to have, but because it is not the right time yet for us to own them. Take a deep breath and relax... take a time off and enjoy the nature. You'll find that what you really wanted is not something that you needed most,' she added saying those things.

He found himself doing what she said and unbelievably when his mind had relaxed, the songs he wanted to make for Team H just suddenly were born.

From then on she had successfully caught his attention. He was so curious on how she could say the words that seem to be what he really wanted to hear. He realized that it wasn't the first time she was like that. As he read back all her messages, he felt how much she really does care for him. She would often send him words of encouragement, greet him like others do, sometimes she would send requests too, or would say just anything that would pop up in her mind.

He found her fascinating and started getting excited with whatever she would send him. He will post something on his SNS account, looking forward to whatever she will say. A year after, for the first time, he replied to her message and that was the start of there friendship. Until he didn't realize that his fondness grew into love.

When he went to Hongkong to finally meet her, he learned that Kim was her real name, that she just liked sunflowers so she used Himawari as her account name. She works as model and though she was someone different from the Himawari he knew online, he didn't let go of the chance and finally confessed to her.

Kim is really nice to him. Since he was always busy with work, she would take time to visit him in Korea just to be with him. They even went for a vacation in LA together. He could feel how much she really loves him, though sometimes, he could just feel that something was off with her, like her being so paranoid sometimes. She would look at his phone or even monitor his activities. Keun Suk, his friend, even said that Kim is different from the person he often used to describe her with.

"Oppa!? Oppa..." said Kim, she was still smiling at him. "You're staring. Did you fall in love with me again?"

"Yeah, I did," he answered half-heartedly.

"That's right. Look at only me," she said and kissed him once again in front of his friends. He heard the door opened and closed, then Siwan snickered at them.

After the kiss, she went back to the table and took the packed lunch out, one by one. He grimaced at the sight of her clothes, or if he can even call that clothes. She was wearing a fitted black dress that seem to only cover the parts that needed covering and flaunts her curves. How many times have he told her to put on more clothes but she would just smile at him. He decided to understand that she was comfortable with that and since she was a model, it can't be helped.

"Are you guys finishing the album?" she asked Siwan who was looking at the food with so much intensity. He looked like a dog drooling i front of his food.

"Nope, we are helping Hyung for the show tomorrow," Siwan answered. He couldn't help himself and took a packed lunch and started eating.

"Aahh... for the party. Can I hear it Oppa?" she said, took a packed lunch and handed it to him.

"It's not yet finished. You have to wait till tomorrow."

She pouted and looked at him. "Please... please Oppa," she gave him a very beautiful smile, trying to take him with her charm.

"Ok," he just said in surrender.

The day that Hima has been waiting for came. She couldn't believe at first that she was finally in Korea but after looking at her overly excited friends, she believed it afterwards. She found herself being dragged by her friends to places they wanted to go to. They went to famous tourist destinations in Seoul, even tried alot of spicy dishes to the point where she felt her tongue was falling off her mouth. They were all enjoying there vacation so far not until...

"Are you okay? Here water," she heard Marie spoke and handed her a bottle of water.

"Thanks." She could barely speak. It felt like her soul had left her body.

A little earlier they were having a lot of fun enjoying the rides and taking a lot of photos in Everland, not until Sophia dragged her to the T Express. She is not afraid of heights but when its on an open moving ride that looked so life threatening, she cowers.

"Why are you whining there Hima. It was so much fun," said Sophia.

Hima didn't even have the strength to glare at her. She felt her inside had turned upside down once again. The bitter taste of acid in her mouth, she wanted to puke again. Hima swore, she will never ever ride a roller coaster again... over her dead body.

"So, whose in for another ride?" asked Sophia who was eyeing the Hurricane which was just a few yards away from them.

Lord, please let me live. I still have to see Oppa by tomorrow, she prayed in her head. Just then she felt her heart skip when her phone vibrated and the notification was from BB Oppa's latest post.

Her friends left her to enjoy themselves, while she decided to look at BB Oppa's post which was an invitation to watch for the pool party which will be held the next day.

And for the first time in a long time, she replied on his post. 'Let's have fun BB Oppa... for the last time.'
