People started to gather at the stadium hours before the match starts. As soon at it started you sat down beside the man that you met in a Coldplay concert few years ago. He wasn't yours but you just love spending time with him, making efforts for him. It just, makes you happy, really happy. You stared at him as he was cheering for his favorite team, you caught your self smiling.
You felt how it is enchanting to be with someone who makes you feel like a human being. The match ended and he was able to get an autograph on the shirt he bought, he turned to you he was smiling a lot.
"Can you take a picture of me?" he asked as he turned his back on you
You took a picture for him, as soon as he turned to you. You took this an opportunity and asked him: "Can I take a picture of you on my phone too?"
He nodded as he giggled and did the same pose as earlier.

A few hours after the game, you went back to the hotel and gathered your things. You took a cab to the airport and waited for your plane to start boarding. Your flight number was called, you stood up and hurriedly went to the gates and entered the plane.
You started thinking, if he will ever reciprocate the same feeling and actions you gave him. You can't seem to forget that he told you that you always had a place in his heart. You sighed as you closed your eyes.
A couple of months after messaging each other back and while you were working at the Apple Store as a a Genius at The Grove, Los Angeles. You started missing him. One of your co-workers approached you and handed you a paper bag while you were fixing your things on your locker since you're about to get off of work
"What's this?" you asked
"Oh, a tall guy came in earlier. He told us to give it you, we had a guards inspect it first so it's safe." Feb said
"What?" you were confused
"Well what do you expect? You got admirers from the Cheesecake Factory." she answered
Your phone got a notification.
Joon~: You never told me night life here at The Grove is great. :)
Joon~ sent a photo.
You immediately checked the photo he sent.

Joon~: I'll be waiting for you.
You smiled as you received the messages, you suddenly couldn't wait to get out of the store to look for him. As soon as you got out, he was there, standing waiting for you. You stood there and stared at him, still couldn't believe that he's here in front of the store you work at.
He approached you and hugged you tight and you hugged him back. You missed him so much that there were tears in your eyes.
"Are you okay?" he asked smiling
You wiped your tears away and smiled at him.
"Yes." you answered
"I'm perfectly fine." you continued
"Then why were you sobbing?" he asked as he cupped your cheeks
"This doesn't feel real." you answered
"Well this is real." as he kissed you on your forehead
"There's a fine dining resto near here, let's go there and just talk to each other. " he said as he held your hand and started to walk
"We have a lot to things to catch up." he said as he looked at you and smiled
"But..." you muttered as you stopped walking
"Hmm?" he mumbled
"I'm wearing my uniform, I don't look good." you said
"Let's buy you a dress then." he said
You both went to the bar after buying a dress, he sat across the table and was smiling while texting. You didn't even bother to ask who he was texting and while he was smiling so much. Instead, you took this as an opportunity to take a photo of him.

He placed his phone at the table and looked at you.
"I told my friends I'm with the person I believe I'm in love with." he said and smiled
"Huh?" you asked and he giggled
"Ah, that's disappointing..." he said and laughed softly
"Back when you accompanied me to the game, the crowd was way to loud for you I guess..." he said and took a sip of his water
"I yelled at how much I like you." he continued
"Me?" you asked, you were confused because it's a rare thing to happen that a guy who likes you actually likes you back. You were the type who listens, observes and just silently be there for a person.
"Yes, you." he answered
"I just loved how you cared so much about me, my feelings, my friends ... everything." he spoke as he held out his hand on the table. Without a word, you placed your hand on top of his.
"I flew here, with all of my things and I am planning to look for a unit so we can live together. It might be too much for you.." you cut him off before he could finish his sentence
"You might not know this but I like you for a couple of years already." you whispered
"I was about to give up from it when I felt like you'll never be interested with people like me." you continued
"But then, you, always keeping me on check made me realize that you do care for me." you said
He smiled.
"I'm far from you, that's the last thing I can do to check how are you doing. But ..." he said as he stood up and sat beside you.
"Now that I'm already here, I'll always do my best to keep you sane. Just like what you did to me, couple of years ago at that Coldplay concert. You were on of the reasons why ... I stood strong." he said as he hugged you and kissed you on your forehead.
