4. Heading Home...Heading into Her Arms
Jung boarded the flight to Korea the next day packing only one suitcase and bag, leaving the rest of his stuff to be shipped out later. Sitting in business class Jung thought about the past three years, his decision to leave Korea and what he had done since then.
He moved to London and started working in a company owned by his father's friend. He finished his business management course online and graduated. He began going to Doctor Kim a few months after arriving to London and on his suggestion backpacked across Europe coming across very similar and very different people then he was used too. He found out what it is like to be anonymous, to be lost in a crowd rather then stand out. He learned to live in hostels and to camp with the barest of necessities.
He learned that he wasn't the only person suffering and that his own pain was incomparable to some other people's learned he wasn't alone in his thoughts and ideas and that there were even better answers to his problems then he once thought.
He also confirmed that no one except Seol could occupy his heart. After he had taken of the ring that day to show Seol that he was really breaking up with her, he never took it off again. He met many women on this journey but none looked at him the way she looked at him. If anyone tried to push him, the ring on his finger came in quite handy to ward of any advances. More often then not Jung made sure that the ring was in clear view before even a conversation began.
A smile spread across Jung's face, a smile that startled the flight attendant who didn't expect such an expression from the almost dour man that had originally walked into the cabin. He thought about how Seol would react to all the women that hit on him. He was ready to face her now, he was ready to stand next to her as he passed through and began the next stage in his life, he was ready to be back in her arms.
As the plane hit a rough patch of turbulence, he calmed himself with his memories of her.
