"Attention Passengers. Flight 524 to America will take off in twenty minutes. Please board the plane."
Tears began falling down my cold cheeks. How could this have happened in such a short time? Not long ago, I would have never imagined leaving Korea this way. I was such an innocent college student, working at a quaint little restaurant. Until he showed up.
He who I fell in love with at first sight. He who took my heart and put it on a shelf. He who was my first love, and stole my first kiss. He who was cold and mean, unlike the way I imagined him. He who was harsh after I left his seemingly unloving arms for a warm, caring man. He who caused me sickness and unhappiness. He who made me cry. He who…
Now showed up right in front of me.
"Please, please." He choked. "I'm sorry! Please, just listen to me!"
I stood, frozen. My tears started flowing out faster.
"I know…I know I caused you sadness and tears. I know I was horrible and cold to you. I know!" He started to waver. "But I also know…I know, I also gave you happiness."
The only part of me moving was my heart beating slower, and slower. Those memories flew through my brain a million miles a minute, and caused me to cry even more.
He wiped my cheeks with his cold, yet warm, hands. "I'm sorry. I'm so incredibly sorry. But please, hear me out. I…I love you, okay? When you told me you were leaving, I finally realized I really do love you and without you, I really don't know how I'd smile again. I don't know how long I've felt like this, but I love you. Please, believe me."
I couldn't take it anymore. He who stood in front of me, now showing me the most emotion I've seen on his face in a long time. "I…"
"Attention Passengers. Flight 524 to America will take off in ten minutes. Please board the plane now."
I took a step forward, and looked at him one more time. My next stop could be leaving him forever, or being with him forever…
