A Lovely ever After

At the crowd we facing to each other. Bong bong ie hold my hand, I look at him. he nod like give me some code to not running again and face sung yeol who stand in front of my with his brother dae yeol.

realized the situations bit awkward we get into our seat.

first 5 minutes feel so long then jang Jun try to melt the situations and jibeom also daeyeol makes many jokes so we all laugh and for a moment I forget my problem with sungyeol.

at the moment our eyes meet and we spontaneously smiling to each other.

all golden child member including bong bong ie must back to the dorm. Vivi and Jane also going to their appartment. everyone gone except me and sungyeol.

"thank you for coming, good night" I speak to him

"I thought your not going to run for me tonight "

he stand coolly, light from the road lights shine his face, his God model body proportions really look unreal. long legs, masculine vibe, soft deep voice, no mention his good looking face.

he's really grown up this several years. sung yeol I know is the high school student who really passionate to chase his dreams.

I walk to him

"I'm not running"

"then what you do?"

"check your phone later"

this time I really run, run from embarrassment. I really amaze by him, like I can't control myself I probably kiss him.

I go to parking lot and get into my car.

sung yeol check his phone while walking to his car and receives message from me. he open the car door

"go home" his manager said

"Hyung, you go first. I have something to do " sungyeol close the door and run somewhere.

He finally arrived at some park. not an ordinary park, it's a place that really means to him. where his love started to blooms.

I stand at the edge of the fence, looking at the night city view.

"Hana" someone call my name

with a heavy breath sungyeol called my name

"I'm so..."

I run to hug him before he even finished his word. he little surprised but he hug me back and pat my head.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" I said sorry so many times

"I know, I know"

I cried in his hug, my pain that I always hide is out today.

after a while I stop crying

"look at you, didn't I told you before that we both look ugly when crying?"

"yes" I laugh a bit

we sit at the bench

"so what are we gonna do now?" I asks him

"if you asks me, I want to be with you again, like old time"

"but we are not a high school student, you are an idol, I'm a make up artist. scandal can ruin your career "

"no it won't, don't think too much. let's starting slowly. you know I'm not a rushing person. I like a comfy relationship and more like heart than a body"

"Yes I know"

we were dating for several years before but sungyeol really take care of me. he never pushed me to do any sexual thing. he respect all boundaries I made in our relationship. and everything goes well, we watched movie, went to the park, singing in karaoke, eat, and just a normal date.

" I'll go to military next year. just 6 months left before my enlistment "

"Wait, so suddenly "

"no is not. I've thinking about it for a long time. maybe I need to find my focus and passion again while I'm not in the industry"

"thank you for telling me"

"Ofcourse. promise to visit me"

"what I can't do it. you wanna ruin your career "

sungyeol laugh

"who say I want to ruin my career"

"but..."

"don't worry, I'll find a way. but call me okay"

for a while we just silent. we look up to the sky. there's many stars.

sungyeol stand and picks something and make something from it.

he knee down in front of me

"Hana, I promised never make you sad and worry again. let me be the one who makes you happy, let me be the one who worries about you. thank you for everything, and if you still gives a chance for me please accept my sincerity"

he give some little bouquet made of forget me not flower.

"would you be my love? again and forever?"

I look at him in the eyes, I know it will be hard for us. but I think it's okay to try it and take the risk.

I accept the flower and kiss his forehead.

several years later

a room full of make up item is crowded. everyone really busy. I open the door

"leader-nim" a young make up artist bow to me

"just call Hana" I smile to her

I clap my hands

"okay gather please, today is really important day. Golden child will have a comeback showcase with "burn it". there's 10 members and we must doing everything perfect and on time. I know we short of staff but we all professional okay. let call them in"

a staff call all the member to come in. one by one already sit in their seat. we need to do a first skin care that will take a while. it's really important to make their face shine and make sure the make up is set.

I walk to one of golden child member

"okay bong jae hyun, your hair is done" I speak with normal tone

"and kinda cute and funny like an ice cream " I whisper to him

"nuna, it's not funny" he hit my hand

"ouch, bad kid"

"okay let's starting "

drrrrt, I check my phone it's from sungyeol. his enlistment will end soon. I smile and close my phone. get into my job again.

5 minutes before showcase starts

"Nuna, nuna"

bong bong ie call me

"hm, why? there's something with your make up?"

"no"

"then what?"

"I'm really nervous. after I recovered from covid there's not a lot of time for practice. and my dance I just..."

"bong bong ie look at me. you always do the best, you always the best. cause you are my bong bong ie, My lovely lovely bongvely. take a breath. everything gonna be okay like always. nuna is here"

he hugs me

"nuna, I'll go"

"fighting "

the showcase goes well, everything perfect.

for me and sungyeol things still going on in a good way. we both spent our live for chasing our dreams enjoy our job, our choices.

everyone have their own struggles, their own problem, their own pain, but everyone also have their own happiness, their own success, their own dream.

what happens on future, nobody knows. one thing I'm sure is. I love him. it's never changed. and as I walk from the backstage see bong bong ie big smile for his success dream, I open the door. walking out from the building. driving to a very far place.

enter another building, sit in the spectators seat. I can watch him from here. my handsome man, playing in his very first musical. at the curtain call he wave and find me at the seat. he give a heart finger as the code he find me. I just close my face with my hands.

I don't know , but I'm happy.

life bring you here and there. teach you this and that. you won't get any if you not brave enough to face the challenge.

-The End-
