Us Again | Yoon Jeonghan

Chapter 15

"Y-Yoon Jeonghan!"

The moment he turned around, there I knew that going here is one of the worst idea I did. Is it too late to run back now?
What if his girlfriend is just around here? What if he'll just ignore me?

"Oh, Liseu?", He raised his brows with his rounded eyes.

"W-Why are you here?", He asked. I pursed my lips.

"I-I don't know.", I looked down and bit my lower lip to prevent my tears from falling more.

"I... I'm about to go.", And there, I couldn't contain my tears anymore. Why am I crying this hard?
I thought liking someone is one of the greatest thing, but it's not, most especially when that someone already likes another.

"I-I l-like you.", I said gritting my teeth. I slowly looked up, and when I got to see his face, he was, smiling?

"I didn't mean to. I'm s-sorry, I shouldn't have went here.", I wiped my eyes using the back of my palms, as I turned around and was about to walk away but, he held my wrist and pulled me into an embrace real quick.

My eyes widened in shock. My heart pounded uncontrollably that I could almost feel it going out of my chest. I could feel my cheeks heating up, and I felt electrified just by his touch.

What is this?

How can he be so warm like this?

I was longing for this moment so much, but it's wrong. It's not alright.

"J-Jeonghan.", I tried to push him away but it was also me who was trying to pull him more towards me, and in the end, I just stood still there and cherished every second with him this close.

He lets go. His hands that was on my back was now on my cheeks. I raised my head a little and looked at his face.

How did I end up like this?

"Liseu...", He gently uttered my name with a smile.

"Hmm?"

"Can't you not run away again?", My tears fell once again.

I have to run away, or else I'll ruin something you have with someone.

"B-But you already-", He cuts me off by shushing me with his gentle voice, and caressed my cheeks with his thumb.

'Flight 1495 to Italy will begin boarding now.', The speaker announced. He closed his eyes for a brief moment before looking at me in the eyes again.

"I-I'll get going now.", I bit my lower lip and nodded.

Bu suddenly he slowly moves his head closer to mine. Slowly cutting the distance.

I subconsciously closed my eyes and waited for what could possibly happen.

As gentle as ever, he pressed his soft lips on my forehead that once again electricified my whole body.

He broke off and I slowly opened my eyes to meet his. It was short but it felt an eternal when it was the only thing I minded.

"I don't have a girlfriend.", My forehead creased.
But who was that girl?

"How can I have one...", He smiled sweetly. "When I have been waiting for you all these years."

"I'll really get going now.", He took steps back and grabbed his luggage. The moment he wasn't no longer close to me, I already felt the cold breeze.

"Wait for me, okay?", I slightly nodded and when I did, he smiled and waved his hands for the last time before turning around and started walking away.

"Goodbye...", I wiped my tears. "I'll wait for you..."

It has been four days since he went to Italy. I still have his number but I did call him, as I didn't want to assume things. He sounded so sincere when he said that he's not in a relationship but I just can't expect something I'm clearly not sure.

And so I asked Seokmin since he is one of his friends, but it took me a lot of courage to do so.

"When we asked him if he has a girlfriend, he did said no...and...", He looked up maybe trying to remember their conversation, while I'm waiting for him to continue, heart pounding fast."... Ah!, He said he was waiting for someone special, but he didn't told us who it was.", He looked at me, brows furrowing.

"Do you know who?", My eyes slightly widened.

"M-Me? I-I'm not sure-"

"Oh right! Sorry, how could you probably know.", He chuckled. I sighed in relief and tried to laugh too.

I'm sitting on my bed and just stared at his name on my phone.

Trying won't hurt right?

I placed my index finger infront of my phone, still contemplating if I should really call him or not.

Just one call. If he won't answer this, that means I'll stop.

I took a deep breath before sliding his name before clicking the green button.

As my phone started ringing, I placed it on my right ear. After some seconds it stopped ringing and soon was replaced by a "Hello?"

Jeonghan's POV

"Wait for me, okay?"

Though it was against my will, I turned around and left her there alone, crying.

As I took steps, one after another, she still won't leave my mind. I wanted to turn around and look at her for a brief moment again, but I couldn't. Tears were also starting to form in my eyes, my heart started to throb and whole body was shivering.

I waited for her for a long time to come back, but now that she's here, I'm now the one who's going away.
Three months is a long time and now that I told her to wait for me, time will intentionally get slower.

When I got inside the plane and took a seat, I couldn't contain my tears from falling anymore. I gritted my teeth but it was still useless to prevent these tears.

Who knew, liking someone would be this hard.

I have finished my work, so I'm now at my hotel room. While I was sitting on my study table and checking on some more paperwork's, my old phone started ringing, my forehead creased. Who would call me by my old number? But till now I'm still not sure why I still carry it.

It was an unknown number but I still answered it. I admit, I was expecting that it would be her. But it's impossible right?

"Hello?", I asked through the line and waited for that unknown caller to respond.

"H-Hello?", It was a familiar voice.

And I knew it was her.
