Going Forward

Chapter 2: Back Together

Eun-sang POV

There he is. Standing there with his hands wide open and I, without hesitation, ran into his arms. I missed this, I miss his scent, his warmth, and I missed him. Everything with him around just makes sense. We've been together for 6 years now. From when we were 18, and we're about to turn 23 this year. All these years and the sight of him still make my heart flutter.

"You missed me?" Tan asks even though he knows and I know he knows the answer to this.

"Yeah" I reply, hugging him a little tighter before I realize we might be late to the party. I let him go so we can finally be on our way home but he pulled me back into his embrace before I could even move a step back from him.

"Hey, we gotta go" I chide playfully.

"No, we don't. We can just stay like this forever." Tan replies with no intention to let me go.

I smile into his neck. He always says things like these, making my heart melt with happiness. Tipping my toes, I turned my head and gave him a peck on his cheek. He looks down on me with surprise and before I could even react, he goes straight, attacking my lips with his lips.

I was in bliss and it almost didn't occur to me that we're standing in the middle of the Arrivals Hall. I quickly stepped back and hit him lightly. "Yaa! It's embarrassing!" I chide.

"Is it?" Tan says smiling while he interlocks his fingers with mine on one hand and pulls his luggage on the other. "Where's the driver?"

"I'm the driver!" I reply excitedly.

"You got your driving license?" Tan asked, surprised.

"Mm-hmm," I say, all proud of myself.

"Aigoo, you're all independent now, huh?" Tan teasingly said as he pats on my head.

"You're gonna mess my hair. And remind me to thank Hyo-shin sunbaenim again later, he loaned me his car." I reply while trying to escape from the pats he's giving me.

"Hyo-shin sunbaenim trusted you with his car? Man, we really have to thank him later." Tan teasingly said.

"Hey, what do you mean? I'm a decent driver. If you don't trust my driving skills, you're free to take the bus home on your own." I rebutted, walking faster to be ahead of him.

"I'm kidding. You must have worked hard to get the license. I trust you, and anyways, my life is yours so safe or not, I'll take your car." Tan says as he grabs my waist.

"Yaa! People are watching us!" I say, feeling so aware of the disapproval stares from the elder ladies seated by the bench near the exit.

"People are watching? Ok, I'll give you double the cuddles later then." Tan banters but still not letting go of me.
