✂--------------------------------------------------------🎶 Song of the day 🎶

So close -Jon McLaughlin (a song from Disney Enchanted)

----------------------------------------------------------- -R A Y E O N-

Days passed by as I tried to accept the fact that Yeonjun is really now gone for good and all what's left was all our memories he spent with us and this stuffed bunny he gave me before he dissapeared in front of my eyes.

I tried to distract myself by working hard in my temperory job I'm working at which was the department store by folding clothes on the baby's section since some mothers came to the store to buy their babies new clothes as the store is now having a big sale.

But since it's almost closing time now as its already late at night, the store isn't that crowded and all I can see now are staffs and just a bit of customers who lined up at the counter to pay.

My hand reached out the final baby cloth which was a baby boy romper and held it up a bit with a small smile.

I purposely saved that romper the last one since I found it really cute so I just fold the rest earlier.

A second later, a pair of hands were now around my stomach as a head was resting on my shoulder, hugging me from the back.

The familiar touch and warmth made me instantly recognize who the person that's leeching on my back and hugging me out of nowhere.

"Done with your work? "I asked and the person nodded his head without saying a word.

I chuckled and proceeded to fold the baby romper when he suddenly held my hand, stopping me from folding it.

"Let's buy it, I noticed that you've been keeping it for the last and smiling "He said out of the blues as he let me go so I can face him.

"And what is it for? "

"Future purposes "He grinned as I glared and threw the romper at his face and moved some stacks of the clothes to arrange it properly since I know that man was just joking and just teasing me again.

"let's go home now sweetheart, it's an hour away from New Year now "that grinned turned into a small smile as I nodded and grabbed my bag from a cabinet and followed him by walking beside him.

"Rayeon-ah...if I'm rich, I'll buy this.. And that too! I'll own a fashion company and make a whole fashion line for you. I'll be the first young CEO and also I will be helping with the camera team. I'll build us a beach house so we can have private dates and see the sunset by the beach everyday. I want to buy everything you want and spoil you like a child. Let's travel across the globe too! How about going to the south pole and see penguins. Or maybe go to Sahara desert eating scorpions! Wouldn't that be romantic?" Beomgyu beamed as I could see that excited spark in him and those sparkles in his eyes as he fantasized each of it while we walk our way out of the department store.

"Only Choi Beomgyu have sorts of crazy ideas in his mind but despite of that, I'll do everything with you, except for eating scorpions in Sahara desert "I laughed as he sighed with a big smile while his hand grabbed for mine.

"Okay then, let's avoid that. But for real, I'm going to make that dream a reality. Give me time... Wait for me because if I'm really into that thing, I'll chase after it until I get it. It's Choi Beomgyu, no one can stop me so give me at least 8 years? I can see in that age, that I'm dancing with you together in our own beach house and my dreams came true " he predicted as I felt my heart softened yet hurt a bit looking at how happy he is right now planning his future and seeing himself 8 years later.

Will we reach that age?

Will we last that long? Moreover, are we going to be together like this?

It's all because of that camera.. It'll ruin everything but that's the deal I made.

. . .

Both our happy laughs filled the night as we danced together with a song playing on the back ground.

I didn't expect that he set everything up alone beforehand and prepared something for us to enjoy while we wait for New Year to come.

He did a wonderful job decorating the house's backyard with hanging fairy lights, a radio to play some songs, a table specially for two with food and candle lights lit up and most importantly, a beautiful vintage-like dress that he placed on the top of my bed for me to wear.

That dress is amazingly breath-taking as like it just came out of a fairytale like one of those princesses wear and what's also surprising was that once I'm finished getting ready with myself, a well-dressed prince was waiting for me downstairs, leaning on the banister.

He changed into a smart prince suit that looked alike with Prince Eric's from the Little Mermaid prince attire.

The song ended as we bowed playfully as like we're in a royal ball.

"Waittt, before I play the last song. Let's give this crown to its rightful owner "Beomgyu paused the song using his phone where he controlled the songs to play and took out a silver beautiful crown from a box.

He placed it nicely above my head and  played the last song, quickly running to me into positions after placing his phone back on the table.

I recognized that song as it's a song from a Disney movie that I watched long ago with Beomgyu in our apartment in Daegu since he never watched it, so I have to accompany him in watching it too. So far, it's my favorite Disney song and it's from this Disney movie named Enchanted.

"You're in my armsAnd all the world is goneThe music playing onFor only twoSo close togetherAnd when I'm with you

So close to feeling aliveA life goes byRomantic dreams must dieSo I bid mine goodbyeAnd never knewSo close was waiting, waiting here with you

And now forever I know...All that I want is to hold you so close

So close to reaching that famous happy endAlmost believing this one's not pretendAnd now you're beside me, and look how far we've comeSo far, we are so closeOh how could I face the faceless daysIf I should lose you now?

We're so close to reaching that famous happy endAlmost believing this one's not pretendLet's go on dreaming, though we know we areSo close, so close, and still so far" the song goes on until the end as we danced together as like we're the main characters like in Enchanted, dancing in each others arms in a ballroom, yet in our own world.

He sang along some of the lines as both our eyes were locked at each others at all times.

We once argued about the meaning of that song and whether is it suitable to play in a wedding or not , in my opinion that this is a sad song about a boy and a girl who love each other, they went through everything but they are so close to reach their happy ending but then something happened so they aren't together at the end or is it either a forbidden love so it's a big no to play this song on your wedding.

But then he had a way different opinion, he said that it's a story about a couple who went through a lot and finally they really ended up with each other and this song is telling about the end of their story which was now they are beside each other after how far they are and he also said that it is really romantic to play this song in a wedding.

But to us, that song's meaning remains a mystery and would be different for each person so that's why we ended up agreeing each other and concluded that the ending of the movie is also a happy ending even if that song was played before.

His long delicate fingers brushed my strands of hair to the back of my ear as he lowered his face slowly.

One second, two second, three seconds passed as the kiss last longer as I relaxed my body and closed my eyes too. Few moments later, New Year greeted us as fireworks that was set off in the neighborhood blasted up yet we didn't let go as he deepened the kiss more.

The kiss was slow and passionate as we both pulled out after some time. Both my hands went up to cup his cheeks a bit as I placed both our foreheads together.

"Happy New Year soulmate. You know what? I want to capture this moment because it's my first time spending New Year with someone, in a place and not in my bed looking out the window "he chuckled as my heart suddenly gave me a painful feeling, as like something stung me.

"Please Beomgyu... Don't use your polaroids now. Do it for me, spend time with me " I begged and hugged him soon after that to hide my tears.

No.. I can't afford to lose you.

I don't want us to die sooner without you achieving your dreams.

"Alright... 8 years... Let's do that. But spend time with me instead of using your camera a lot okay? Please I don't want to lose you. Not now "I cried, letting out but I get it that he won't understand about the losing part since I never told him that his life will end if the Polaroids runs out.

"Hey princess, we won't lose each other. If that's what you want then I guess I can try. Don't cry, I'm here for you always and it's my promise for you"

To be continued...

-Preview of next chapter -

"Wahh... It's been so long since I've used this camera... And it still shows us the future too-wait "he suddenly paused and hid the polaroid from me fast so I won't see the future of the picture.

.

Cool breeze and a bit of heat hit my skin as my mouth hung slightly opened. The sound of waves splashing could be heard and the sound of the sea surrounded me.
