I step into the car excited to see him. Its been almost two weeks.
Two weeks since we almost got caught out together in public
Two weeks since I had almost been the cause of his first dating scandal
Two weeks since things had somehow started to shift between us.
I close the car door excitedly taking my purse off leaning in for a  kiss when the "shift" I felt, was made apparent, he leans away from me.

"I start touring soon" he sighs deeply "I'm going to be away for some time— I'm leaving to japan"

"What? When? For how long?" trying sound excited but disappointment and fear are apparent in my voice.

"Soon" he avoids my gaze and continues with "but we need to talk - - talk about us"

My body stiffens as I try to take this in.
Ji-yong and I met about 4 years ago. He was my older brothers friend and we saw each other grow and somehow along the way more than a friendship grew between us. We kept our relationship on the dL because of his reputation and image he had to keep especially having just debuted, but also the fact that we had kept this all a secret from kyunghoo, my older brother. We had never really settled on a title and just decided being together was enough, "no need to complicate things with titles" at least that's what he told me.


I stayed silent, processing what I had just been told and pondering up a way for us to still be able to see each other "Take me with you.I'll have to think of something to tell Kyunghoo, but I can be ready" I say eager with hope.

"No-I think we should" he's started having trouble with his words "- it's just that- - its time we - -  lets break things off " he spits out but then softens his voice, "it's what's best for both of us"
He then turns his eyes to meet the parked car in-front of us. His last sentence stinging my heart like a slap to the face.
"What?" I nervously laugh "no, Ji-yong, what happened" my mind takes me back to the night he was first recognized by some fans on one of our dates.
He was put so out of his comfort zone and the inner struggle on how to act and answer questions throwing him off of his usually cool and collective self. I had decided to distance myself and not approach him until I could see he was alone.
"what happened at the restaurant - that was nothing."

"Nothing compared to what could or can happen. You don't belong to this world yet you don't understand how things can get, how one wrong move, especially this early on in my career can affect me"

"Yes i don't understand, but I sure as hell know who I want to be with and what I am willing to put myself through and thought that feeling was reciprocated"

"Don't say such things chae. You're so young too naive to understand, you just don't"

" Take me to Japan with you" I hoped he would oblige and agree "You'll see that some time away together will be good. it'll help mend things you'll see - we could get away from all this for some time- together"
