Have a safe flight

Juho was lifting the luggage bags in the car while Kamou sat patiently in the front seat. She offered to help him, but Juho wouldn't let her help. Once everything was settled, he took his seat and drove towards the airport. It would take roughly about an hour for them to arrive at the airport. Kamou's manager Miss Min would be joining her there. To avoid any suspicion, Juho got a car rented under his assistant's name. The mirrors of the car were painted black so no one could see the people sitting inside.

The whole ride neither of them bothered to speak, both too occupied with their thoughts. Kamou was looking out of the window, thinking about what future holds for them. She was having a hard time accepting her feelings but her heart was growing sour at the thought of not seeing him for a while.

'What if I come back and he isn't interested in me anymore? What if he finds someone else while I'm gone? But more importantly why do I feel bad about it? It's not like he is my boyfriend. When did I start getting so insecure? Why am I feeling this way?' Her mind filled with tons of questions.

Juho was focused on the road ahead while reminiscing about the time they spent together. He gave off a depressed vibe, you could tell by looking at his face. He tried hard but his jealousy took the better of him.

'Everything is going so great, we were making a progress, why does she have to go now? Taehee would be there, they would be seeing each other all the time? What if her feeling come back? He is my best friend; I trust him and Its's not impossible. But I guess I can't blame her if that happens, she is free to love anyone. But I pray she falls for me.' getting insecure that there is a chance he might lose her.

**************************************

Juho pulled over near the airport gate, in a secluded corner. Kamou was on call with her manager, giving her directions to come pick her up. Soon her manager showed up and started unloading the luggage from the car while they were patiently waiting in the car.

Ready to leave Kamou turned to Juho to say her goodbye, when her eyes met his impatient sad ones. He pulled her to his chest and caged her in his arms, like he wouldn't let her go. He had been patiently waiting for all this while. Kamou not sure what was happening, hugged him back unconsciously.

"Take care of your health while you are gone. If something happens give me a call, I'll rush to you." Kamou smiled at his words, feeling his warmth.

"I have something to tell you once you come back, it may not be important to you but it is for me. So please hear me out once and then decide." He was mustering up all his courage to speak.

"I hope you miss me, because I am going to miss your presence every day. Lastly, no matter what happens I will wait for you to come back, I promise."

For Kamou this was the answer to all the questions clouding up her mind. She knew what he wanted to talk about so badly once she was back in Seoul, yet she decided not to confront him because she wasn't sure about her feelings.

"You don't have to worry; I am looking forward to what you have to say. I promise I won't do anything before I hear you out." She replied aware of his insecurity.

"I would try to keep in touch with you, even if I am busy. I'll inform you as soon as I come back and we could catch up. Juho, I will miss you and the time we spent together." She said breaking the hug and looking up into his eyes.

Kamou knew if she stayed any longer, things would get intense and this wasn't the right time. She put on her mask and abruptly got out of the car. It was a hard choice she had to make, but she had things she needed to figure out before taking a step forward. For her the trip to London came at a perfect time, she needed some time away from him to understand her feelings for him.

Juho sat in his car looking at her back while she walked away with her manager into the airport. He hoped that after his confession, she would accept his love. Once, she was out of sight he drove back home, surrounded by the emptiness filled in his heart.

************************************

After checking in her baggage, Kamou was now on board, sitting comfortably in her seat next to Miss Min. It was going to be a 16-hour long flight, so there wasn't much to do for her. Before takeoff she took out her phone to check her schedule for the next day. Due to different time zones, she would reach London around midnight. Their ride from the airport to the hotel was already arranged.

A message suddenly popped up on her screen. She opened it; the sender was Juho.

'Have a safe flight.'

A faint smile appeared on her lips knowing that he was missing her already. She switched off her cell phone as the flight was ready to take off. There was nothing much to do onboard, bored she soon went into deep sleep.
