Wherever You Are

Y/n's POV:

Sana had been silent ever since the kidnapping. Even I had been weary when I approach her. However, it is my responsibility to console her and make sure that she is and will be alright, so as she sat by the window of my room, wearing her night gown, just staring at the moon, I walked towards her and placed a warm sweater over her shoulder. "Hey," I said, then I propped my arm on the windowsill and looked at her with concern, but also with a comforting smile. "You look lovely," I said, then she smiled back at me. "Thank you," she said, then she looked back at the moon.

"What's bothering you?" I asked. She was still looking at the moon when she answered my question, saying, "The kidnapping isn't what's bothering me anymore," she said, then she looked at me. It kind of shocked me because all that time, I was thinking that she was traumatized by what happened. "What bothers me most is the fact that I'll be leaving soon, and I won't have time to be with you. I know that you'll also be busy," she said, then I could tell that her tears were about to fall because her eyes were starting to reflect the light of the moon due to her tears.

"Sana--" I tried to tell her that everything will be fine, but she suddenly burst into tears and let her forehead fall onto my arms. I could feel that she was already crying, so I lifted her head and saw her face. She was clearly in pain. I cupped her cheeks and wiped away her tears, but they just won't stop. It's the first time I saw her like this. The first time that her tears actually showed just how hurt she was. She wasn't sobbing. She wasn't talking, she was just staring at me. Blankly. Looking straight into my eyes. "Sana, don't cry," was all that I could say. I kept on wiping her tears with my thumb, but then I couldn't help but to cry, too.

I didn't even realize that I was also crying. I kept on wiping her tears away, but I forgot to wipe my own. "Y/n..." she said in a faint tone. "Y-Yes?" I replied, my voice shaking. "You'll wait for me, right?" she asked, then she placed her hands on my cheeks. "Of c-course! I will!" I said, then I held her hands and kissed them. "No matter how long it takes!" I said with my voice a little louder than before. "What if you had to wait 7 more years?" she asked, then more tears fell down from our eyes. "I will wait 7 more years if that's the case. I will wait a hundred more if I can," I said, then she chuckled and smacked my shoulder lightly.

There's the sudden change of mood again. She's not bipolar. She's just hiding away her sadness. Covering it up with smiles and gestures of happiness.

"Silly," Sana said, then she added, "I was just making sure. A hundred years are too much." I shook my head slowly and said, "A hundred years are nothing compared to my love for you," even though I know that it's a little bit too cheesy, it still made her smile. "Now my worries are lessened. At least I know that even when we are apart, you will still love me," she said, then she gave me a small kiss to my forehead. "I'm glad that I lessened your worries," I said, but I then asked, "How about you, Sana? Would you wait for me, too?" then she looked up at the moon. "I would. Especially now that I know that you'll be there at the end of the road."

I hugged her all of a sudden. She was taken by surprise. "I won't be at the end of the road, Sana," I said, then I rested my chin on the top of her head. "I'll be by your side all along. Like the stars, Sana, you might not always see me, but you know that I'm there," I added. I didn't even know where those words came from, but I'm glad that I said it. "If you say so," she said, then she placed her hand on my arm that's wrapped around her. "If you ever feel alone, just give me a call. I'll always give you my time," she said. "I'll count on that," I said, then I tightened my arm around her.

"Tomorrow will be my last day here. The day after that, I'll be heading back to Korea," she said. My heart really couldn't take it lightly whenever I realize that fact, but I have to get used to it because it was inevitable. "So, how do you want to spend it?" I asked. "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Right now, I want to talk to Mom," she said, then I nodded before releasing her from my tight hug. "I'll go with you, but don't worry, I'll give the two of you some privacy," I said, then she nodded before we both headed to her mom's room. "So, I'll head back to our room, okay?" I said, then I kissed her forehead before going back. I wonder what she wants to say to her mom.
