"Forbidden Love"

Chapter 10

Four years later, I waited at the same terminal, this time waiting for him to return, wondering if anything had changed.

We had kept in contact over the past few years through email and web-camming sessions that were really short due to the time zone difference.

But he hasn't been replying to any of my emails for the past year or so, and the only reason I knew he was coming back was because I had received mail from him last week, saying that he was going to be coming back.

Maybe he has moved on; maybe he wanted me to come and pick him so that I wouldn't get my hopes up too much and pester him too much.

I stood there, holding my breath, searching for his familiar face, but not seeing it anywhere. Suddenly, a hand covered my line of vision, and I took in a deep breath, “Tristan oppa?”

“Surprise!” His happy face greeted me as he spun me around in a very dramatic manner and glomped me, “Didn't you miss me over these past few years?!”

He held me out at arm's length, “You've gotten prettier!”

I just blushed, and he poked my arm, “This is the part where you're supposed to say 'you've become really handsome too Tristan oppa'.”

I said nothing, and stormed away from him, with him tagging along, whining, “Why are you ignoring me April?”

I spun around to face him, and seeing my angry face shut him up, and he chuckled nervously, “Um, I didn't have any time to reply to your emails when I was in America during fourth year. I was literally dying from all of the homework! Honest to God!”

I then laughed, “Did you actually think I was angry about that? I was just joking!”

Gong Chan pouted, “You're so mean!”

“That's payback for not replying to my emails this past year!”

“But you just said that you weren't angry!”

“Yea, I was lying.”

“That's not fair!”

“Why did you send me a letter when you could've sent an email?”

“I thought it would be more romantic?”

“You thought wrong. I thought you didn't find me worthy enough to be emailed.”

I'm sorry,” he bowed his head down, downcast. I laughed.

He then walked up to me and our fingers and hands entwined with each others, “I'm back and I'm never going to let you go.”

“You're stuck with me forever,” I teased him.

“I'd gladly stick with you forever.”

… If only we had a happy ending.
