You Were My Love

Scene 91 - Comply

Again.

Weeks again.

Weeks that were even turning into months now.

Months?!!? he realized.

How was it even possible?

How could time fly at the same time so fast and so slow?

Jimin was coming back from his personal training.

Despite a busy day filled with hard work, he had wanted to walk back, thinking that, somehow, having a nice stroll could help relieve his restless mind.

Contradictory thoughts were swarming his reflections.

He was both sad and happy.

Both despairing and hopeful.

Both dejected and excited.

He felt heart-broken that he didn't get more love.

And elated that he would finally get to see his man that evening.

His life seemed miserable since he was so lonely so often.

And blissful since he was loved by such a wonderful prince.

Every day, there was this pain in his chest that he was learning to get used to, since there was for now nothing he could do about it.

Besides he had promised his love he would be patient.

So despite the nagging unhappiness, the undermining regrets, the hopeless doubts, he never complained.

And once again, he put all his disappointed heart into focusing on the good things that were to come, instead of remembering the deserted days and nights on his own.

He chose to forget about the solitary, celibate weeks.

His unaccompanied daily life.

Made up his mind on turning all of his frustrations into positive energy instead, into making something out of it.

Something joyful.

He wanted to celebrate their meeting to come.

He was at last getting to be in paradise.

Besides, how would Hae Wong want to see him sooner if he showed up with a disappointed face?

He had better be beaming and merry upon seeing him, right?

So he swallowed his pride, and set aside his disillusions, his tainted happiness.

He painted a glowing smile over an overjoyed expression, and decided to prepare himself fully for their long-, long- awaited date.

Just as these ideas were roaming his mind, he happened to walk by a beauty-shop.

He saw the shiny bottles of perfume.

An idea popped into his mind, and he halted before the shop for a second, before he decided to enter the cosmetic temple.

He just had remembered this one time when Hae Wong had smelled Kai's fragrance on his jaw where their cheeks had touched, and the reaction it had triggered in him.

A mischievous smile appeared on Jimin's gorgeous lips.

His eyes scanned the neatly arranged shelves until they stopped on a particular package.

He took a hold of the tester bottle.

He pause for an instant, wondering.

Was that too much?
