If only I knew

Chapter Twenty-three

He asked for the microphone once again, and thanked his fan all over again. As his voice wavered, somebody shouted, "Don't cry!" Was he going to cry...? 

He did paused for a while, seemingly to collect back his nerves. The camera zoomed in to him and I could see his eyes watery. Oh man.. he was really going to cry...! Was he so touched? 

He finished his thank-you speech before he turned around, squatted down to take a picture with the audience. When it was done, he gave a bow, waved to everybody, gave finger hearts again while mouthing thank you, took the microphone again added to everybody to be careful when they leave to go home, more waving before he finally stepped out and left. 

As the fans still soaked in the bliss, I took out my phone. 

Me : Were you going to cry? 

He replied me almost immediately. 

JC : Nearly... 

JC : Where were you sitting? I didn't see you...!

Me : I see you nice and clear xx 

JC : I'm going back to the studio but I probably will end on time today

Me : Which is..?

JC : Around six

Me : Wooo, that's early

JC : That's my normal work hours if nothing's up xx

Me : Hmph.. 

JC : Let's have dinner together

JC : What would you like to have? 

Me : We are going out to eat ?? 

JC : Well.. that might be a little difficult.. I'm thinking to order in or buy back.. or should I cook? 

Me : Won't you be too tired to cook? 

JC : Not at all

JC : But I think there's nothing left in the fridge except eggs.. I haven't restock my groceries.. 

Me : Tsk tsk, then let's just order in

JC : The restaurant across our building has good food, I'll buy back

Me : Okay, I'll let you decide

JC : Are you going anywhere else? 

Me : Not really.. I think I'll start to head back

JC : I'll see you at home xx

Me : See you ~ 

Really, I feel like we're a proper couple who stays together..

I got home at around five. It was still early so I lazed around watching TV. But I got bored after a while since there's no Korean shows to watch. I went to the balcony and lazed on the swinging chair watching Running Man as I wait for him to come home.

He came back around seven. The first thing he said was Sorry.

"Hmph?" I gave him a puzzled look as I helped with the food. He seemed to have bought aplenty, enough to feed a party.

"I'm late, got a little held up.."

"It's okay. Are we having a party?"

He chuckled. "There's so much good food so I bought everything for you to try."

"Jeez.." I rolled my eyes at him. "Do you want to take a shower first?"

"Let's eat first. You must be hungry."
