AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is my first fanfiction. I fell in love in with this show the very first episode and I got inspired to write this at its end. I put a lot of the character's personal thoughts in Italics to avoid repeating " _thinks" all the time. :-')
Chapter One
"It's so nice to be back home again!" Go Mi Nyu sighed in content, taking a deep breath of air in. It's also nice to move again after a 20 hour flight from Africa. It was rather cramped. Who would've guessed that many people were travel from Africa to Korea?
Mi Nyu kicked her legs back and forth to get more blood circulating to them. She felt like she could run a mile even though she had considerable jet lag.
Excitement zipped through her as she went to collect her luggage. I can't wait to see Hwang Tae Kyung again. It's been so long!
In fact, it had been almost a year and a half since she said her goodbye to her boyfriend. The separation really became almost too much for her to bear at first. But webcam and constant phone calls, when she had free time and a signal, helped Mi Nyu cope.
The mission work she did in Africa was life-changing and even though as she would miss the children she met in Africa, she felt that returning to Korea was the right thing to do now- not only for personal reasons, but also for the children at the orphanage.
She terribly missed Jeremy and Shin Woo, and most importantly her brother. She hadn't spent any time with him in- well, several months now. Mi Nyu understood that all of them were busy people, being an ex-idol herself, but she still was determined to squirm her way into to all of their schedules. Somehow.
After collecting her luggage, which consisted of simply of a decently sized roll-able suitcase, she walked out into the lobby and quickly took a seat. An idea then struck the so-called rabbit eared and pig nosed girl. Inside her suitcase, she had another bag- a large purse won together out of cloth that a village woman had given her as a birthday gift. "I think... I can fit all my stuff in here~" She mused. Mi Nyu was sure Tae Kyung would be irritated at the rolling suitcase just as he was last time, because she liked to walk a little a extra slow and listen to the sound of it on the smooth marble floor of the airport. So she'd beat him to the punch. It was a good temporary facilitation of the bag anyway, she figured. So she began to take the items she had in her suitcase out, transferring them to her purse.
While digging through her things, she pulled out a rubber band and quickly tied her hair back. It had grown back to its original length while she was away. She was positive Tae Kyung would be pleasantly surprised to finally see it in person. Once finished, she was surprised at how everything fit. "I almost forgot!" Mi Nyu said out loud to herself. She took her stuffed pig rabbit from her suitcase, carefully putting the stuffed animal into the bag- in such a way its little head and ears poked out from the top. "You're so cute!" She patted it on the head, with a smile.
She got back up, with the purse on her shoulder. I should start looking for him now...but what will I do with this suitcase? It would feel awkward to carry an empty suitcase.
Mi Nyu pondered before quickly spotting an old man who was walking with a nearly deteriorated suitcase.
She walked up to him. "Here sir, have my suitcase." She could always buy a new one anyhow.
"Wha- why I can't just take this from you." The old man gaped at her from behind his glasses.
"I promise it's no trouble at all."
"Then," The old man smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your kindness, young lady."
"It's my pleasure, please use it well." She said, before moving on her way further in the lobby.
She scoped the room anticipating seeing his slender figure.
She got a bit worried when she didn't spot him. Maybe he's just wearing a really good disguise? Her plane had arrived a bit later than she told him it would. Tae Kyung was super punctual- maybe he got impatient? She bit her lip; maybe I should give him a call to tell him I'm here?
But right as she went to put her hand in her jacket phone to pull out her phone, she was grabbed by the arm- being pulled with haste out of the lobby.
She didn't give a second thought as to who the tall figure next to her was. Black hair styled in an up-do, sunglasses covering his eyes- along with a white shirt, black skinnies and jacket- it was all so obviously Hwang Tae Kyung.
"…Hyung-nim?" She still asked cautiously, looking up at him.
"I missed you." He mumbled.
She smiled. Words couldn't even express how much she felt the same.
"No more leaving to places I can't see you. Got it?"
"I won't, hyung-nim!" Go Mi Nyu replied, still stuck with the goofy kind smile she only got when she was around her favorite star.
"You better keep that promise." Tae Kyung responded, smiling to the side, releasing his grip off her arm to hold her hand.
Before they even got out of the lobby, Tae Kyung remembered something. He stopped them, pulling out a pair of sunglasses from his jacket pocket. He had almost forgotten about He Yi.
Her brother had spilled the beans to He Yi about Mi Nyu's returning date. And He Yi had to do something to show her distaste. She took a short trip out the country, claiming she was 'doing charity work' in pure spite so she could return on the same day bringing reporters to trouble them.
Of course, Mi Nyu didn't know this and Tae Kyung didn't find much of a point in telling her.
He turned to Mi Nyu and put them on. He'd gotten them on impulse and laughed at how tacky they looked on her face.
"Why-" She felt on the sunglasses. They were heart-shaped.
"There are going to be reporters." I mean, he was Hwang Tae Kyung. It was normal to be recognized and stalked by paparazzi.
"Oh!" She pushed the sunglasses fully on. "Right! Paparazzi!"
"Speak of the devil." A few feet behind Go Mi Nyu was He Yi. She had called attention to herself and was surrounded by a swarm of reporters. He felt an eerie chill run down his spine as she chatted with some of the reporters. Immediately Tae Kyung ducked himself and his girlfriend quickly behind a column.
"Did they see us?" She asked.
Tae Kyung dipped halfway around the column and He Yi recognized him dead on. Their eyes met and a second later Tae Kyung heard, "Oh, I think…I think I just saw someone! Wait, is that...Tae Kyung? Oh Tae Kyung!" She waved at him, attracting attention to them instantaneously.
Tae Kyung came back around with a sigh. "Is that Yoo He Yi?" Mi Nyu asked, furrowing her eyebrows. "Why is she here?"
"Don't worry about why she's here; just know that she is. Now, it's going to be 50 times harder to get out of here without being attacked by reporters. So..." He put his hands on her shoulders. "Mi Nyu, I know you're a good runner. This shouldn't be hard."
"Huh? Run?"
He swiftly took off his jacket and put it on her, pulling down the hood over her head. "If something happens and we get separated, keep going and keep a low profile."
The second Tae Kyung and Mi Nyu both came from behind the column, the reporters practically dropped interest in He Yi. Go Mi Nyu was momentarily dazed before getting tugged by Tae Kyung to move faster. They continued to run as Mi Nyu heard the yells of the reporters behind them. The sound of their cameras clicks seemed to only come closer with each step they took.
"Are they still following us?" Mi Nyu asked frantically. She knew turning around to check would surely blind her.
"They're more persistent than I thought." Tae Kyung whispered. "Looks like we're going to have to take drastic measures." Without any effort, Tae Kyung picked up her up and threw her over his shoulder.
She yelped as he ran them quickly through the rest of the airport, watching the reporters get stunned and others stare. Before Mi Nyu even had a chance to breathe, they were out in the parking lot. "What just happened? What happened to running?"
"Don't complain. This way got us out quicker." He slowed down considerably since they were in the parking lot, but still kept his guard up. "Don't tell me I ran pass my parking space too..." Unfortunately, he had.
"Hyung-nim, I'm getting kind of dizzy." Mi Nyu looked forward. "Can you put me down now?"
He turned abruptly, not paying attention to her words. "Found it!" He shouted.
Finally, after putting her down, he noticed something odd. "Go Mi Nyu, where's your suitcase?"
"Right here." She pointed to her purse.
"That's an oversized purse not a suitcase."
"It can hold all the contents of my suitcase and more! Isn't that amazing?" She ran her fingers over the soft material. It didn't look half as reliable as it was. "These things are so useful."
He laughed at the ridiculousness of her sentence, opening the car door for her to get in. "Seriously, what happened to your suitcase?" He distinctly remembered her leaving with one.
She shrugged. "I gave it an elder who needed more." She buckled her seatbelt as he got into the car.
That sounds like something my girlfriend would do. "You can't go around just giving away your things."
"But he needed it." She said in defense. "You should have seen it. It had holes all over. I don't know how he used it."
Why does she have to be...so... He started the engine, trying to think of a word to describe his girlfriend. He couldn't find one.
She began to play with the hem on her jacket sleeve while he pulled out of the parking lot. "Didn't He Yi want to talk to us- I mean you? I could have-" She knew she was going to have to deal with still being in the limelight for being an idol's girlfriend.
"He Yi is honestly the last person I want to talk to." Tae Kyung continued on driving, turning his head to her to say, "Why would I when I have you?"
