Chapter 43

Marley POV

It felt different when he left early the next day. As long as the doctor said it was alright for Sophia to travel as planned, we'd only be apart for a day and a half.

"See you soon," he said at the hotel door, placing yet another then another kiss on my lips.

"Bye bye TaeTae," Sophia said, arms wrapped around my legs and looking up at him with huge eyes. He picked her up and cuddled her close.

"I'm glad you're feeling better BugBug, see you tomorrow," and he kissed her cheek before putting her back on the ground. She grabbed both our legs as he pulled me into his arms again and we smiled against each others lips, sharing one last kiss. "I can't wait to have you in my home."

"I'm nervous but excited," I replied, squeezing the hand that held mine tightly. He knew my fears and why, we'd talked about it and he had tried to put my mind at ease. Still, I was nervous, meeting his family was a big deal.

"I better go, Ji-ho is ringing again to hurry me along," he said, glancing at his phone and I nodded.

"Go go, we'll honestly be fine." He'd been reluctant to leave us with no security but I reminded him that no-one had officially connected us and there was no reason for them to bother us when Sophia and I went out. We'd just look like every other tourist. "Love you babe, fly safe."

"Saranghae aein, see you tomorrow night," and his eyes twinkled as he blew a kiss, pulling the door shut behind him.

I sighed and smiled, feeling a warm rush of love for him. It was only 630am, he'd had to book an early flight so that he could be home by lunch as had a busy afternoon and evening of work ahead. "Shall we go watch movies in bed for a little bit before breakfast," I asked Sophia and she clapped her hands, skipping ahead of me back to my bedroom. The doctor was going to come mid afternoon and I was sure he would say she would be OK to travel, relief at the thought. Tae had sorted the extra time needed to stay here and had staff alter flight arrangements again but I'd feel much happier once we had landed in Korea.

When I walked into the bedroom, I noticed something on my pillow, reaching for it. Tae had left the shirt he'd worn to our last meal out and a note. Smiling, I opened it.

"My beautiful Marley, this smells of me, of us actually. I've left it so you don't miss us being together too much. Saranghae, until next time, your Tae xx"

Pressing it to my nose, I inhaled the heady scent of him, closing my eyes as I did. He was right, it did smell of the both of us, my perfume mingling slightly with the smell that was distinctly him and I slipped it on over my sleeping top where it hung low, PJ shorts just visible below the hem.

Snuggling next to Sophia and bringing Netflix up for her to watch some cartoons, I reached for the hotel menu, choosing something small and simple for our breakfast. At 715am, as requested, the doorbell rang signalling our breakfast and I jumped out of bed. "I'll be right back Sophia," I said, going to answer the door. Peering through the peephole, just in case, I saw a hotel staff member waiting patiently with a tray of food in her hand and I swung the door open.

"Domo arigato," I thanked them as I reached for the tray and then there was a phone in my face and a few clicks as photos were snapped while I stepped back in shock.

"Who dat mama," Sophia appeared at my side and I quickly shut the door behind me, clicking the lock into place as I rested against the door, heart racing. The tray was still in my hand and I put it on the side table near the door, hand shaking as I did.

"It was the people bringing our food baby," I answered, still processing what had just happened.

"Oh yummy, bweakfast," she shrieked, standing on her tiptoes to reach the tray and I lifted it away from her, walking on autopilot through to the table while she clambered up on a chair to reach for the food.
