-----------------
"So you're telling me you didn't see him when you woke up and it's been 5 days?" Yoon Gi asked again to be clear.
Myeong Jo nodded, her eyes never leaving the window.
Both of them were inside their limo. They were on their way to the festival.
"Are you sure he came inside your apartment though? Maybe all of those were your imagination." like always, he will be savage and suspicious about Jimin.
Myeong Jo frowned and looked at her brother, "Oppa, are you telling me that was a dream? I would know it if it was! And we literally kissed! Not just one time!"
She lowered her voice as soon as she realized the driver may had heard everything.
"Yah, let's say he ran away. What'll you do?" he asked her; cheesily smiling.
She scoffed, "I doubt he will do that."
"But Yoon Gi Oppa, do you know? He asked me to be his......." Myeong Jo acted like she was a high school girl who got a hint that her crush of all time just winked at her.
"Be Mine doesn't mean he's asking you to marry him! I know what you're thinking." his words made her pout.
"Then what did he mean?" she asked him.
Yoon Gi thought for some time and looked at her, "Maybe...girlfriend? Maybe just to be his partner at night?"
She slapped his arm out of annoyance. Yoon Gi flinched in pain as he got away from her side as far as possible. She was so done with her useless elder brother.
-----------------
The festival almost came to an end with each artist performing their latest song and some local high school boys performing group singing. Most of the time, Myeong Jo was on her phone while Yoon Gi was sleeping in his chair. The audiences were clapping, whistling, fan-girling, crying, laughing, dancing, singing along etc. It was really like a concert.
The host came up on the stage with a card in his hands, "And now we'll wrap up tonight's wonderful festival by a performance of a local man......." he continued his words but Myeong Jo didn't pay ahead as she was busy with her phone.
Yoon Gi woke up from his 3 hour sleep and glanced around.
"Where am I?"
She replied without looking at him, "Still at the festival."
He frowned and looked at the stage. "Is this the last one?"
Myeong Jo nodded though she wasn't aware.
"Great. Let me watch this one then. Hey, wait! Did TXT perform yet?" he asked Myeong Jo with the most curious face she ever seen.
"Yeah. Can't You See Me & Run Away."
Yoon Gi cursed under his breath and leaned back. He just lost a chance to show his love for his favorite group.
The atmosphere began to change with the appearance of the last participant. The whole stage became darker and smoke came out from the corner. The last participant came up on the stage and stood in the middle. Everyone was quite curious since they never seen or heard him before.
Yoon Gi's eyes widened in spot. His jaw dropped in surprise. He recognised the man! He began elbowing Myeong Jo so that she looks at the stage. Instead she looked at him with gritted teeth, "What?"
His lips were shaking and he pointed his index finger to the stage, "Isn't that...
...........................................Park Jimin?"
She furrowed her eyebrows and looked at the stage.
She was shocked. Deadly shocked.
It was him. Park Jimin was standing on the stage with a piece of white cloth.
Her eyes widened and she gasped in shock as she covered her mouth with her hand. What was he doing there? Why was he there? Is he gonna sing? Or dance? Why? How!? Does he even know how to do those?
Questions ran over her mind as she couldn't do anything but to wait for his next move. She gripped the handle of her chair tightly.
The white light fell on him as everyone could hear him singing.
(A/N: You can play Serendipity if you like.)
"None of this is a coincidence; I'm just going with the flow.
The world is different from yesterday; only with your joy.
When you call me, I go to your flower.
As if I've been waiting; we bloom till it gets cold.
Maybe it's the way of universe; that's how it works.
You know, I know. You & Me. I'm You."
Suddenly he began dancing with that white cloth by moving it around over his head and behind his back. He was dancing like a beautiful swan. Myeong Jo's eyes were sparkling in joy and pride. She wanted to smile for an unknown reason.
"I'm scared, just as much my heart flutters.
Because destiny keeps getting jealous of us.
I'm just as scared as you.
When you see me, when you touch me.
The universe has moved for us; without missing a single thing.
Because our happiness has been planned.
Cause you love me and I love you."
Myeong Jo somehow felt the lyrics were meant for her. No, for both of them. She covered her mouth with her two hands and sat upright, surprised. Yoon Gi's jaw was dropped the entire time. How could Jimin dance so gracefully? The way he was moving the cloth and jumping and lifting his leg like a feather; when did he learn these? And for whom?
"You're my penicillin; you saved me.
My angel, my world
I'm your Calico Cat, here to meet you.
Love me now, touch me now.
Just let me love you......"
And he began doing beautiful movements that caught all audience's eyes and they were glancing at him as if he was a white bird. And Myeong Jo right that moment, realized this amazing dancer in front of her was performing only for her. Each lyric presented their past and she was the one to understand it first. When you find someone doing something that they never did before; now he is doing it only for you, you feel like you don't deserve him. Myeong Jo felt the same. Comparing his love for her; he was too much for her. A cold hearted girl like her didn't deserve him. Tears formed her eyes and dropped very slowly as she watched every movement of his in silence; her heart beating with the sound of his jumps.
"Ever since the universe was first formed,
Everything was planned since then.
Just let me love you."
But his each movement of dance reminded her something. Something very valuable.
All this time, she's been thinking about her. Only her. Like she didn't talk to Jimin when he got here because she thought he will hurt her again. She distanced herself from him as she knew he would try to apologize to her which will make her feel guilty. All these time, she's been only caring for herself, making sure she doesn't get hurt again. She was protecting herself.
But what about Jimin?
Jimin needs attention now. He needs her love, care. She was the reason the person he loved with his entire being died. So she should had taken care of him. The day he came here, she should had accepted him and helped him from the start. This man here tried to stay strong and confident without showing her how broken he was from inside. All his life, he also didn't recieve love like her. So Myeong Jo should've understood him more than anyone. He was also alone for 4 years like her. He had nobody to love him, console him, hug him to sleep. While Myeong Jo was getting attention of all, he was still the same depressed King. While she had no intention or will to go back once, while she was trying to forget him; Jimin tried his best to come here. He crossed an universe for her! Myeong Jo didn't try to understand his point of view or didn't even feel his untold sorrows. He looked happy and she bought it. Where else he was heartbroken by the loss of his wife and her cold ignorance at him.
Jimin suffered more than her. And she failed to see it.
She gasped in shocking realization and sobbed loudly this time; catching the attention of some people. How could she be so cruel towards him? She caused all of these and instead of taking care of it, she's been running away!
"Now come to my side, becoming an US
I don't wanna let go no
You can just let it be, you can just feel it without words, after all.
The stars are floating and we're flying, it's definitely not a dream.
Don't tremble, hold my hands instead, now we're becoming an US.
Let me love you.
Just let me love you."
She slowly stood up from her chair. She did a great mistake. An unforgivable mistake. By letting him out of her heart. Her heart slapped her brain and it took control over her body. She started walking towards the stage; crying out of realization. He wanted one chance yet she didn't want to give him that. He tried to say sorry for countless times yet she didn't listen. He learnt to dance just to win her heart. A man like him is rare to find in all universes. And she realized all of these weren't coincidences. She making that wish wasn't a fault. He coming here in this universe wasn't his will. It was all fate; created by Almighty.
Jimin was about to end the dance.
He fell on his knees and lowered his head. The music was still going on and was fading away. The light had gone dark and audience felt a bit different. Suddenly everyone heard his mysterious heartbreaking whisper,
"Let me love you, Myeong Jo."
And the music ended. The lights went off; indicating his performance ended. All the guests and fans there stood up and clapped very loudly. Some even whistled. Everyone was praising his hard works and beautiful dance performance.
Jimin stood up on his feet and looked at the audiences. His eyes scanning each and everyone. Of course, we know who's he looking for. But for the one he sang and danced so powerfully wasn't anywhere to be found. He moved his head right to left but couldn't see her. Did she run away? Did Myeong Jo failed to see his shattered heart that earns for her love....again?
Suddenly the claps went off and everyone was murmuring something into each other's ears; looking at a certain direction. Jimin followed their direction and looked at his right.
Myeong Jo was coming up on the stage and she was at the highest stair. She looked like a crying mess as her eyes were dropping down tears and her lips were saying something but it was inaudible.
Jimin stared at her as she stopped when she stood over the edge of the stage floor while he was standing at the middle. The distance between them was quite far. Both of them were staring at each other's souls through their eyes. Making everyone present there confused.
Suddenly Myeong Jo began running towards Jimin. She was running and crying at the same time; telling him something but he wasn't able to hear it yet. He turned at her and tried to read her lips. Everyone in front of the stage was just being confused and puzzled, seeing their actions.
When she was close to him, he finally knew what she was saying repeatedly and he gasped in shock. Shock of happiness. He held out his arms openly for her. When she was very close to him, everyone could hear what she was saying and they knew this couple was made for each other.
"I forgive you, I forgive you, I forgive you, I forgive you, I forgive you, I forgive you, I forgive you.........." she jumped on his whole body that was waiting for her do that and hugged him tightly more than anything in the world.
Yoon Gi was the first one to wipe his proud tears, stood up and clapped his hands louder. Encouraged by him, each person present there suddenly clapped their hands too and smiled realizing this was a reunion of two souls. Everyone should be a part of a person's happiness. Especially, when it is about love.
Ignoring thousands of people's presence there, Myeong Jo kept sobbing shamelessly and was hugging his neck as if she will never ever let him go again. Jimin always found her actions cute and rather being happy now, this time, tears of happiness fell down his cheeks as he held her up in the air; hugging her and her feet not touching the floor anymore. Both of them were crying and being happy at the same time but it only seemed they were crying.
The people present there did not stop clapping their hands as they found both of them very lovely and their hug reminded them about their true love they had once in their life. And those who didn't find it yet, still clapped hoping they will find someone worthy of theirs in the future. Yoon Gi never stopped smiling and maybe this was his biggest smile in his whole life. And this smile was for the love his little sister deserved.
Jimin put her down and looked at her crying face as she also looked at him. She cupped his face and her voice trembled yet she said, "I-I'm sorry for everything. I'm so sorry for being this late."
He shook his head and managed to smile faintly; caressing her head.
"You said you wanted me to be yours, right?" she asked now with a smile.
Jimin nodded slowly as he was a bit scared of her answer.
"My answer is Yes. I want to marry you, Park Jimin. I want to be yours not for 149 days, but for your whole life. I want to be your Queen, My King." she stood on her toes as their noses touched.
"And I love you like no end."
Jimin exclaimed in happiness. He was never this happy before. He was finally forgiven and he got the girl he waited for. He found the woman who'll undoubtedly love him and care for him like no end. He finally made her his and now he'll love her infinitely. He will make sure this smile of hers never fades away.
A tear full with memories fell down his eye as he held her very close to him and made his forehead touch hers. She wrapped her arms around her neck and smiled brightly but the heart inside was unable to control her tears anyway.
"Oh Myeong Jo.....thank you for coming into my life. Thank you so much for making that goddamn wish." he said in between and kissed on her forehead for a long time.
The reporters and journalists made their way through the joyful crowd to the stage. They circled around the newly couple and began taking photos and asked millions of questions.
"Author Min! Congratulations!"
"Miss Min Myeong Jo, how would you describe this feeling?"
"What would you like to say about your union, ma'am?"
"Are you going to marry this wonderful dancer, Miss?"
Jimin & Myeong Jo paused their hugs and stuff as they felt embarrassed now. Both of them's cheeks were red as tomatoes. But finding confidence again, Myeong Jo hugged his arm as both of them smiled at each other. She looked at the camera and smiled brightly,
"Everyone, meet my future husband, Park Jimin."
The End
