Gratefulness~ pt.4

In the evening Ji Yong drives me back to the dorm and I get to explain my absence to the girls and tell the reason why I'm coming with G-Dragon. I say that I went to his place overnight, nothing special happened and that I wasn't just feeling very well.
"Aaaw!" Gyo Mi-Ok gasps. "So, G-Dragon took care of you?!"
I keep blushing over the subject.
"Yes..." I throw the handbag on my bed and sit down.
"That's so cute!" she smiles at me and walks into the room, sits beside Ariel. She leans on her knees and smirks. I know what's coming.
"Are you two dating?"
"Ahh, that thing," I scratch my head and take the hairband off. I look up and see Mi-Ok's excited smiling face in front of mine. Ariel is trying to peek carefully from behind her.
"Yeah," I say and Mi-Ok jumps to give me a big hugh.
"Omo omo omo! That's unbelievable!" she backs off. "You understand that you are dating the biggest idol of Korea, right? The sunbae!" she yells spreadin her arms here and there. I nod ja laugh slightly.
"Mineeha is dating Kwon Ji Yong!" I hear her voice shouting in the corridor at Narelle. I laugh by myself. This must be some kind of an achievement.

The next morning I'm back studying and I try to learn Korean eagerly. At luch break I message to Sara about the recent events, all of them. And she sends me a reply that makes me feel myself a bit more happier and more confident again.
"Have you thought of the option that the night you spent with J-Hopie (gurl, I'm still jealous xD) might have been a subconscious revenge against Joakim? Don't you blame yourseld. You can't change what has already been done but the way you deal with it can be helped. If you were able to forgive Joakim, I'm sure GD could forgive you too. But just like you have said, he has had enough hard times so maybe you shouldn't tell him. I know you must want to be honest but you know yourself that it'd be unnecessary. If he really loves you, it wouldn't change anything. And don't say "If I really loved him, I wouldn't have done something like that". It's the Joakim issue. I'm sure about it. Forget that night. Hobi won't tell anyone either. He knows about you two and he has seen pictures and gossips of you. Think about it, you weren't even really together before the incident, you weren't commited to be with GD but then you understood what was the most important, right? And there you are now. Just focus on your and Ji Yong's future and forget the past memories :) this moment, this day today is now!"

I'm moving a pink teddy bear in my hands. The teddy bear I got from the reception boy in Helsinki. I have become such a globetrotter, I laugh by myself. I can't wait to get to tour around the world. To meet new and different people, co-workers and artists and fans.
The clock is almost six in the evening and I should hit the studio for dance practice. I place the teddy back beside my pillow and get my phone. I find Ji Yong's name from contacts.
"Jal jinaeyo*? date tonight? :)" I wait for his answer a while. I have no idea where he is at the moment, I hadn't time to ask him yesterday. "Jal jinae, love.. ♥ Ok. I'll pick you up after training. Cheoun haru bonaeyo** :)" My tummy itches... It's hard to meet each other because of our schedules. Ugh. Celebrity relationships... The only choice we have is to meet up in the middle of the night and that means even less sleeping hours but that's the price I just have to pay.

When the clock is already almost half past two, I ran outside of the YG building's front door, panting. The class lasted longer than it was supposed to.
I don't see Ji Yong's car anywhere. I sigh deeply and crouch down. I ran so many stairs for nothing. I really would like to see Ji every single day but I know that it's not possible. I will see him even less often in the future because of his American tour... No. I must get used to this. I don't want to seem too clingy, no matter how fresh our relationship is. I have made that mistake before and this time I will be more mature. We will find a way to love each other although we don't see each other face to face everyday.
Suddenly I hear a silent humm coming closer and I glance at the gate with hope in my eyes. A familiar-looking white car slows down. Without hesitating, I run through the parking lot to the car and peek inside of the opening window.
"Young Bae...?"



*jal jinaeyo? = is everything okay?
**cheoun haru bonaeyo = have a nice day
