Charlotte finally figured out what she wanted to do with her hair and I stood behind her to help, curling the parts that she couldn't reach. She looked at me and smiled. "I know how much that night meant to him. He told me himself."

"Oh yeah?" I pulled my fingers through the fresh curl to loosen it.

Charlotte nodded. "You taking a risk like that just so he could have some peace and quiet told him a lot about who you are and how much you cared about him."

I breathed a smile. "Looking back on it, we would have been in a world of trouble if we got caught. But he probably wouldn't have cared."

"I highly doubt he would have." Charlotte took the curling rod from me and I sat down next to her. "The way that you never cared about the fact that he's a celebrity always meant a lot to him too. You never treated him any differently."

"Why would I treat him differently? He's just like everyone else." I pulled my legs up onto my seat. "All of the guys are. I don't give a shit about what his job is. The only reason I care about that is because it's what he loves to do. But I don't think it makes him extra special. He's that way all on his own just because of who he is."

Charlotte looked down at me. "He really does cherish that."

I shrugged. "I never saw him as a superstar." I picked my stuffed animal up off of the floor and set it in my lap. "He just has a job that's different than what most people have."

"Well, that's one of the things that made him fall in love with you." Charlotte set the curling rod down. "Aside from you just being you, of course."

"I still maintain that I'm not that cool." I pressed my lips together. "Don't tell him I said that. He hates it when I say that."

Charlotte glared at me. "He isn't the only one."

I stuck my tongue out at her.

Jin tells me everyday that I'm beautiful, amazing...you name it. It's really sweet and, not going to lie, nice to hear. I tell him how amazing he is all the time too. But he doesn't have to say it in order for me to believe him. Honestly, hearing the words still makes me feel awkward. That's just how I've always been. He has his own ways of showing me that he loves me, whether it's a quick text to say hello when he's having a busy day or leaving a note for me to find when I wake up in the morning.

He sure does love to leave little notes, and I've kept every single one. I started doing the same thing, too. I'd hide them in the most random places and he sometimes wouldn't find them until a week later.

Charlotte sighed. "Anyway, I know what's coming up and I can't wait to hear it again, so please continue."

This entire day had a different air about it. Yesterday did, too. It was all so bittersweet. They hated to see the tour end but were still happy about being able to go home.

This was also my last day here. I was leaving tomorrow and did everything I could to not think about that, but it wasn't easy. The time was going by so fast with how busy the day was and I wished that it would slow down just a bit.

Jin and I weren't allowed much time together, either. I know that's selfish of me, but I'm just being honest when I say that it sucked a little. I knew what I was getting myself into when I started seeing him, but I couldn't help but be sad, knowing that I wouldn't see him again for five weeks after today.

This was their last sound check and I could tell that they were all soaking it up. I'd see them stop here and there and look around the stadium to take snapshots in their minds. They loved touring so much and were already looking forward to when they would be able to hit the road again.
