Author's POV

"I'm planning to go back to New York" he said with his eyes eagerly waiting for Haneul's reply.

"Stop joking around!" Haneul hit him playfully and made her way to embrace him again. But Taemin stopped her.

"I'm serious, Haneul.. I'm leaving.." he said with his eyes pleading her to believe him. Haneul just stood there agape. She didn't know how to react. It was like asthough she was stabbed by a knife. Her throat started to feel dry and her palm started to sweat. Words failed to express the anxiety she bore in her heart.

"W-What? W-Why? All..o-of a sudden..." she stumbled trying her best to sound normal.

"My company is in a crisis..they need me now" he replied short.

"When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow.." he looked down not wanting to meet her eyes. Haneul was taken aback by his reply. She couldn't move or swallow her saliva.

"W-Why didn't you tell me earlier?" She asked her eyes almost becoming teary

"Haneul, I just got the information yesterday night...that's why.."he grabbed her hand.

"W-When will...you be coming back?" Haneul asked him hoping his reply would atleast ease her throbbing heart.

"I....I don't know...Maybe years.. or..when the comp-" he was cut off when he saw a tear drop from Haneul's eyes. She couldn't bear this time. The person she loved all the while since she was young.. is suddenly leaving.....again for the second time... Her heart ached for Taemin to tell that's it's all a joke but reality hit her hard. He's going..he's leaving her for...years? Tears continued to roll down her cheeks.

"Jagi, don't cry.. Please!" He sounded weak and wiped her tears with his thumb and pulled her to a hug.

When once she was in Taemin's arm, she poured it all out. Her tears started to flow and her cries became louder. She rested her head in his chest and gripped on his shoulders. She cried her heart out. Taemin embraced her with his warmth. He tried his best to control his tears cause he don't want to cry in front of Haneul cause it'll make her feel worse.

He had already cried the entire night. He knew that his day would definitely come but he never expected that it would this come soon. Haneul's cries made him feel guilty. It caused him more pain. He was at the verge of his tears.Haneul on other hard, cried out so much.. The more she cried, the tighter he hugged her, comforting her.

"Don't worry Jagi. I will always find my way back to you.." he kissed her forehead while she burried her head in his neck.

"Taemin, don't leave me.. Please, i love you..." she bursted out once again and this time Taemin couldn't help but cry. He rested his head on her shoulders and started to pour out his tears, cause he didn't want her see him crying.

She tried to control her tears. She balled up her fists and hit him gently on his chest.

"You're an idiot..." she mumbled and continued to hit him . Taemin grabbed her hand and kissed it.

"But I'm always your idiot.." he said trying his best to sound good.

Haneul knows that she shouldn't be selfish. Taemin's company is the source of income for thousands of people and keeping him with her for love sake is purely selfishness. She made her heart strong. He is always there for her and will love her no matter what. But she couldn't bear to think about the time she is going to live without him.

"Haneul, I love you truly... so trust me, I'll be back soon.." he gripped her shoulders trying to make her feel better. She nodded and wiped her tears trying to make herself look stronger. She grabbed his collar and pulled him down to meet her eye level.

"Don't you dare hit on other girls when I'm not there.." she warned him wiping her tear drops and that made Taemin chuckle in spite of his tear filled eyes. He's somehow happy that Haneul is trying her best to overcome her sadness.

"Yah.. don't you believe me! I won't ever do that... I'm truly in love with you" he said.

"Oh really? What do you mean by true love?" Haneul raised her eyebrows.

"If a Perverted guy like me, likes a flat chested girl like you, then it's called True love" he said scratching his chin trying his best to be humorous. Haneul hit him hard on his head.

"I'm not flat chested! You pervert!" She shouted trying her best to make him smile in spite of her inner screams crying over for him.

"Hmmm..Yes... I came to know about it today. You're not as flat as I thought" he smirked and she hit him hard again as her face began heating up. Haneul plastered a fake smile just so Taemin would be at ease but deep inside, she is still crying loudly not wanting to leave him, deeply mourning at the thought of leaving his side.

Her heart is almost getting shattered by her leashing emotions.Taemin also did the same thing. Hiding his tears with a fake smile and smirk just to make her feel better.. The place suddenly became silent as they stared each other.

He grabbed the back of her head and violently pulled her towards him and kissed her roughly. For the first time ever, Haneul replicated Taemin's fierce kissing habits. She was in the same level as him. She knows that every minute they spend together now, will be memories for her till he comes back. So, she wants to cherish it without feeling embarrassed. It was she who slid her tongue in his mouth before he could do and relished every part of his mouth. Her hands gripped his hair pulling it violently. Eventhough it was painful for him, he couldn't stop looking at her actions with surprise.

They were getting really wild and desires started to burn inside them. Haneul just couldn't get more of him. This would be her last kiss and he won't be there for her anymore until he comes back.

Her eyes started to get teary again because of that thought, in the middle of her dominant kiss and he wiped it for her. He lifted her up by her waist and continued to kiss her, pulling out for breathing air and wiping each others tears and again kissing.

"This is my Kiss of Promise. I will back for you... just wait for me Haneul. I love you Princess, only you" he said and hugged her tight. Both held each others face and stared at each others gaze. How much they'll miss this. Unfortunately a tear escaped his eye and Haneul kissed it away. Taemin was afraid to be parted from her once again..and he doesn't know how months or years it would take for him to meet her again. This is officially their last night together before his departure..

"The music Is still on.." she said and they slowly started to move again. Her hands were once again placed on his shoulders and his was on her waist.

"Remember the day I met you first?" He spoke up while dancing.

"How can I forget? I was late to school and so were you. We introduced ourselves and you sat next to me.." she smiled reminiscing those moments.

"You hated me right?" He asked.

"No..I fell for you the minute I saw you" she said and Taemin's eye widened. They fell in love with each other all over again without knowing that they were already lovers from young age..

"But then, you made me go crazy, termed me as a hallucinator, psycho...but now when I remember those, I just laugh at them" she smiled along with Taemin.

"Remember the library? Our first kiss after many years?" He smiled again.

"I rubbed and scrubbed my lips after you did that" Haneul laughed. Taemin's heart beat accelerated. It's her smile. Her voice when she laughs..He stopped moving.

"Why? What happened?" Haneul asked.

"Your sudden smiles always surprise me but they are dangerous enough to make my heart race" he confessed and Haneul laughed at his sentence once again.

"Then, the same goes for your smirks" she said and the thought that she won't be able to see his smirks for awhile flashed her head. They danced, laughed, frequently kissed, sang, hit each other all night in that special place.

"Taemin, what's the time of your flight?" She asked.

"10 in the morning...Why?" He asked.

"It's already 3. Don't you think you have to sleep?" She caressed his hair.

"I want to spend the entire 6 hours with you.." he said. But Haneul was really concerned. He was busy for many days, spent sleepless nights and she doesn't know whether he would be able to sleep after going to New York because of his works.

"Taemin, you should really rest" she pleaded.

"But Haneul, I-"

"SSSHHHH.. Oppa, please sleep..." she whined. Taemin's mouth was wide open and his jaw was on the floor with his eyes popping out.

"What did you just call me?" He asked unbelievably.

"I don't like telling things twice, so shut up and sleep now"

"I heard you though..." he smirked. They entered the car and Haneul said that she doesn't want to go home but instead stay in the car with him.

"Place your head in my lap.." she said and that made Taemin smile. They got to the back seat and Taemin rested his head on Haneul's lap while she put him off to sleep by stroking his hair and fiddling with his fingers. Taemin was asleep and Haneul once again saw the sleepy Taemin.

Her tears continued to trail down again. She looked at the place he took her. Her heart pained so much. Though she tried to act normal with him, she just couldn't control her tears now. She just bent down and hugged Taemin placing their head closer...

Taemin's eyes, his lips, his neck, his nape...her favorite of all...his scent..she would miss it so much. She couldn't sleep that night as she never thought that this day will ever come. She just cuddled Taemin as long as she could without waking him from his deep sleep.

6 AM>>>>>>>>>>>

Taemin woke up first when he sensed the sunlight shining brightly through the windows. He found Haneul embracing him in her arms hugging him tightly. His head was pressed against her body and her hands was swooned over his body, hugging him like a teddy bear. Her eye lashes were still wet and it broke his heart once again. He leaned in and pecked her pouting lips while she slept calmly. He carefully released her grip over him and went to the front seat to drive the car.

He started the engine and slowly moved from the place after giving one last glimpse at the place where they danced. He halted in front of her apartment and got down. She was fast asleep and so he quietly carried her in bridal style and walked to her flat. He placed her on the bed and covered her with blanket and slowly removed her heels.

He was in bliss when found the teddy bear which he gifted her when they were young, is still beside her in bed. He kissed her forehead and got into her kitchen. He cooked some bacon, omlete and sandwiches for her and neatly arranged them in the dinning closed with a lid so it would be hot by the time she wakes up and eat it.

It would be hard for each other to let go when she wakes up so he did his best to not wake her up. He slipped his rosary bracelet on her hands and left the place with his tear filled eyes.

Haneul woke up from the bed and she was wondering how did she get here. She saw a paper next to her. It was was a memo by Taemin. Eat the breakfast and get ready soon Jagi, I'll come to school today. The bracelet is my charm and I'm gifting it to you.. She checked the bracelet and smiled. But why would he come? His flight is at 10! She was surprised to see Taemin's breakfast preparation on table. She quickly brushed her teeth and got ready just to eat the first breakfast prepared by him. She enjoyed it.

At school>>>>

The entire school was noisy and almost everyone had a newspaper in their hands. Haneul felt few hands pointing her and she didn't know the reason. When she entered her class everyone's attention landed on her. Some gave her weird stares, while some glared. Amber and Minho pulled her out and she looked at them perplexed.

"Taemin is the headlines in the newspaper! Look at this" She said handing her the newspaper and she looked at her shocked. A huge photo of Taemin was printed in the first page.

"The Lee Group, a Korean entrepreneur successfully doing their business in New York, have slumped badly in the share market recently. Mr.Lee Taemin , the heir of the group who is reported to have pursuing his studies in the Seoul school of Business Management has already attended several board meetings and have slightly raised the company's position. Their current CEO and founder, Mr.Lee has resigned from his post hoping his son would do a tremendous job on his behalf. He is now currently appointed as the CEO of Lee Group in the company's headquarters in New York........"

"You know about this?" She asked and Haneul just nodded.

"When did you come to know?" Minho asked.

"Yesterday.." she said looking down. Amber pulled her to a tight hug, comforting her

"I thought I would reveal to everyone but the media is faster...Tsk.." Alice sighed and Minho and Amber gave her a death glare. It is mentioned that he is studying in the Seoul school of Business management.. and she came to know that it had created the controversies in the class.

Did you hear the news?????LEE TAEMIN IS TRANSFERRING!!!!!!!OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!

A huge voice erupted! There was a big "WHAT?!!" sound from all the students and many stood there in disbelief. Some fan girls started to cry while some controlled their tears totally heartbroken.

"HE IS AT THE GATE! HE IS LEAVING!!! BUT... HE IS LOOKING DIFFERENT..." one shouted jostling everyone in her way.

Haneul was very angry with Taemin. He didn't even bid a farewell to all his friends who were like a pillar of support to him. Her heart pained to see many girls crying because of him but he never cared about it.

"As expected! That guy is preparing to leave without telling anyone! How mean!" She mumbled.

She gathered everyone in the class and also from the other class and marched towards the gate where he was spotted.

It was Taemin who just came out of the principal's room, in his usual look, not the Mr.Perfect nerdy look but the smirked face. He wore a full sleeved shirt with the first three buttons opened accompanied by a ripped jean and spiked hair with earnings on both ears. He wore a blazer on top of his shirt and looked.....totally macho.

There was strange silence in the school and many more crowded to see him. The entire population's jaw dropped with their eyes popping out and Haneul can literally hear their mind Voices . Is this Lee Taemin, Mr.Perfect of SM high school? It was only herself, Amber and Minho who had a casual expression.

He, on other hand looked totally shocked. The entire school has flooded in to see him.

"SM Arts high school without Taemin?? It's unimaginable!
You're transferring? Why so sudden?!!
You never told us that you are the heir of the LEE GROUP!
What can I rely onto maintain my eyes in the future?!
Can I atleast get a strand of your hair? Please!
Oppa! Don't go! Please!" The students whined.

"Idiot Taemin! Are you planning to leave without even telling a word?! We didn't expect such a cold hearted farewell from you!" Haneul shouted. But deep in her heart, her reason was different. He never bid her farewell in the last minute.

"I don't know how to do tell tear filled goodbyes to friends...I can only tell to the person I'm really close with. So, all I can think of now is...." he said and pulled Haneul out from the crowd and kissed her in front of everyone. Haneul's eyes popped out. Minho looked down but later smiled cause he knows that both love each other and he's no where In between them.

"She's mine.. I love her and don't you guys date flirt with her.." he confessed to the school. There was a pin drop silence and later it was accompanied by the groans of many students. There was already a rumor going on between him and Haneul and thus it is now confirmed. Haneul stood there totally shocked beyond words and her face was so red.

A huge limousine stood there with men wearing perfect suites. They opened the door for Taemin to get in. He just turned aeound one last time before going.

"Amber, Minho, Key..take care of her. I trust you guys. I can't bear if anything happens to her.." he said and stroked Haneul's blushing cheeks with his thumb.

"Goodbye Amber, I'll definitely miss you. Minho, let's meet later, Key fall in love with Amber more..Goodbye everyone!" He announced and hugged them.

"Goodbye Jagi..." he smiled and glimpsed at her one last time and breathed real loud. He waved his hand and got into his car.

Haneul didn't look at Taemin as they know it would be hard for both of them. A man wearing fine black suit opened the door for him and he got inside as he closed the door. Haneul's eyes were teary once again but she made sure he didn't catch her crying. The car drove off to the airport.....

Arts class>>>>>>>>>>>

"So, Jung Haneul has no partner! What are you going to do?" The arts teacher asked and she was in no mood to listen.

"Do you guys have some other substitute in your school, Onew?" The teacher asked him.

"There's a guy in our class who is the best dancer but he refused to join the prom due to personal reasons..." he replied.

"Do you have his phone number?" She asked and One nodded, handing her his number.

She and Onew disappeared outside to talk with that "best dancer" guy and words like "Please...This is very crucial.." was audible to the class. She came back after 30 minutes.

"Jung Haneul, you will get a new partner tomorrow. We requested him so much to take part In the prom. So, don't you dare stamp his foot!" She said.

Haneul just nodded. But who is he?
