K-Pop Oneshots, Reactions & Scenarios

~~76: &TEAM K - Far Too Long~~

"I'm on the plane now, and I have been for the past three and a half hours. Yes, yes I'm safe, dad. Don't you worry, I'll be fine. Yes, of course I'm sure I wanna do this, it's for uni, I'm determined. Alright. Love you, bye." you hung up the phone with your dad after he was constantly worrying about you moving back to Japan for university. You told him you'll be just fine since you have quite a couple friends there already.

However, whenever you thought of coming to Japan, all you could think of was your childhood best friend, Yudai, who goes by 'K'. He was beyond a best friend to you, he treated you like his daughter, took care of you so well. But then, at 18, you decided to follow your dreams and move to the UK, which meant leaving K. It was incredibly difficult to do so, but you somehow managed.
You may have lost a bit of touch, but that doesn't mean he came off your mind even once while you were away. You made a promise to not lose touch, and to say it broke your heart when you realised you don't talk nearly as much as you used to, was an understatement. You were crying for weeks, because all you wanted to do was talk to your best friend, but you didn't want to hurt your or his heart any further, even though you loved him to absolute bits.

And even now, he has no idea that you're on your way back to Japan. You don't know if you should tell him or not-
"What's on your mind, dear?" an elderly woman who was sitting next to you asked you.
"Is it that obvious?" you chuckled "You see, I have a childhood best friend who lives in Japan, but I left him when I moved to the UK for study, and we kinda lost touch, but I never stopped thinking about him, now I don't know if I should tell him that I'm coming back to Japan or not."
"How do you think he feels?"
"I don't know... but in some odd way, I get the feeling that he's feeling just like me. We promised to keep touch but, like me, as much as he wants to keep touch, he refuses to text me because he doesn't want to hurt his or my heart any further, bar the occasional vague, 2-minute conversations. And we haven't seen eachother in eight years."
"Well dear, that sounds like an unbreakable friendship if you ask me. I think you should tell him. Or don't, and surprise him. Because you'll regret it if you don't. Trust me, I've been there, you do not want to miss out on opportunities like this otherwise it will only get worse and you'll end up regretting it. The point is, take the risk or lose the chance." she said to you.

"Thank you" you smiled and immediately got your phone out.

You didn't even realise your hands were shaking out of nervousness after you sent those texts. But she was right, you are actually glad you did it.
But this is only the first step.

She then suddenly took your hands in hers in an attempt to calm you down. "relax, dear, it'll be just fine, I know it."
"But w-what if he doesn't recognise me, or what if he doesn't see me the same way anymore, what if I was wrong this whole time, what if he's replaced me, or- or what if-"
"Sshhh, you're overthinking. Relax, okay? I know for a fact it's gonna go well."
"How?" you asked her.
"I just do." she said "now go to sleep, and we'll be there before you know it." she said.

And with that, you slowly but surely drifted off to sleep.

You slept actually rather peacefully, but then you woke up, hungry, dehydrated, really needing to pee, and for some reason, thrilled. Maybe something struck in you about the new university or something. But the best part was, now there was only two hours left of the flight.
"I think he texted you back, dear" the kind elderly woman said. So you checked your phone and opened the message...
