Then Came You

The Time Abroad

"So you're in the waiting lounge now? Is it really for a month? Couldn't you just go home after 2 days? Or 3 days top?" She was listening to her boyfriend whining.

"Ne, Oppa... But I really want to visit Madrid too while I have time. The days would fly, you wouldn't even realized I'm gone. You'd go to Shanghai too next week, remember?" She just closed her eyes smiling, he was so cute when he was being super clingy.

"I'd realized you're gone even when just for a minute... YeaJi-ah..." She rolled her eyes.

"Oh hajima... Stop being so extra or I won't call you when I'm arrived." She needed to be firm sometimes, hand covered her mouth trying to holding up a giggle.

"But... YeaJi-ah..." He whined again on the other line.

"Bye, Oppa. I'm not sure when I'd turn on my phone..." She closed the microphone, pretending to hung up.

"Jamkamman!!!" She heard him cleared his throat. "Bye, jagiya... I hope there'd be no trouble with your flight. Remember to call me when you arrived, okay?" His voice sounded deeper. She burst out laughing.

"Ne.. Saranghae..." She heard him shouting,"I love you too..." before hung the phone up.

She finally caved in, and started about last week, she begin to call him oppa as he asked so many times, even though it cringed her sometimes. They've been together for almost a hundred days now. Her boyfriend, the mega Hallyu Star Kim SooHyun, could be so extra sometimes. He already huffy when he realized that she won't be in Korea for their Hundredth Days Celebration. But this is the time, she won't get any chance like this again. Starting New Year she needed to work hard in her new agency, she really wanted to get out of her shells, just like he always said that she really had to try something new, something different. Being who she really is without thinking about what others would say.

So she took this chance while she visited a city in Europe, to went to Madrid, reminiscing her life before all of this, before this industry.

It's already dark in Paris when her flight arrived. She turned off her phone flight mode on her way to the hotel. There were about twelve texts on her phone as soon as she got the cellular service. All from him. She chuckled.

"Don't forget to eat... Saranghae..."

"YeaJi-ah... I missed you already..."

"Neomu neomu bogoshippoooooo..."

"It's dark already... I'm scared..." She rolled her eyes and smile.

"Jagiyaaaaaa..."

"Seo Yea Ji..."

"I just saw a couple holding hands... I missed you..."

"What took you so long?"

"Answer me... Answer me... Answer me..."

"YeaJi-ah..."

"I don't care what time it would be, I need you to call me as soon as you arrived..."

"You haven't call... Ottokhae?"

She couldn't help but giggle. He was so different than what everybody thoughts. On screen he was a great actor, he could be anyone, from a high school student, a King, a thief, a spy, a rookie producer, a gangster, even an alien. She was his avid fan, she saw his every projects, adoring and immersed in them. Who would knew that cool guy she always saw from afar, now sending her texts every hour of her flight. Hold her when she sleeps, moan over her egg salad sandwich, laughed because of her jokes, smiled because of her. She closed her eyes, thanking God for giving her the best gift, him.
