'I've been waiting for you.' Chaeryeong's voice wobbled as she whispered. Yuna could barely hold eye contact with her as she felt her aching pain in every syllable. She knew that if she looked deep enough into her eyes again she wouldn't be able to keep it in.
'I know you have...' Was all she could utter, her throat tightening.
It felt like a million stabs to the heart as she heard the elder begin crying. Her voice cracked, and she sounded choked up. Yuna didn't want to look at her. She knew that even a glimpse would break her in two. 'I'm sorry it has to be like this, Yuna. I'm sorry you have to deal with all of this. I wish it could be different... I really really wish it could be different.'
That was it, she couldn't take it anymore. Yuna threw her arms around the elder and hugged her as tight as she could. Her arms flung around Chaeryeong's neck and her hand, she placed on the back of the elder's head. She couldn't help but cry as she felt her against her own cold body. She knew that this was what she'd longed for, but it hurt to know that it would end.
'D-don't be sorry. Don't you dare say that ever again, okay? I'm the one who should be s-sorry. I'm the only who didn't c-come and see you.' She stammered through her tears. It hurt to see the love of her life in pain. But it was agony to see her in pain because of her.
'I missed you. I m-missed you so much.' Chaeryeong sobbed, clinging onto the younger for dear life. She didn't ever want to have to let go, but she knew that that time would surely come.
'I missed you too. But we're together now, okay? I'm right here.' Yuna sighed, trying to calm down. She took deep breathes as she squeezed the elder tightly in her embrace. A few moments passed. The two breathed deeply, their eyes closed, allowing their emotions to pass. They felt each other's hearts beating against one another... it was heart-wrenching.
'Now listen. Listen to me.' Yuna finally spoke firmly. She parted with Chaeryeong, still clinging onto her hand, and used her other to wipe the fresh tears off her girlfriend's face. 'I'm going to get you out of here.'
Chaeryeong almost choked. 'Yuna, we can't. You know what could happen. I want to, I want to escape and be with you forever more than anything in the entire world... but I can't. I could lose you. It could end terribly.'
