Chapter 108
Bright colourful lights that led the way to a big beautiful yacht at the bay. The floor they were stepping on was covered with beautiful red roses.
“ Wow! "
Ji-a gasped. She thought the sight was breathtaking.
“ You like it? " Lee Chun asked but she only nodded like a baby, she was still taking in the beautiful environment she was in.
" Come with me. " He said then entwined his fingers into hers - walking her slowly to the yacht...
Inside the yacht, there were men on black suits playing cool, sweet music with their guitars. As soon as Lee Chun and Ji-a stepped foot on the deck of the yacht, another man sat playing the piano, welcoming them with sweet music.
Just right there at the center of the deck, close to the open sea was a table for two.
A truly beautiful sight. It has four long colourful candles burning on a fanciful candle stand at the middle of the table with large and small wine beautiful glasses. A closed bowl with plates made of gold and two small but fat blue burning candles lay on the table.
The white silk table cloth extended beautifully downwards, almost sweeping the floor and on the floor close to the table lay short fanciful burning golden candles.
The candles went round the table, but not completely, it formed a road path which one can pass to the table.
Ji-a was just left in awe at the sight. Everything was just beautiful and romantic, the kind of thing one sees in the movies.
She was so busy admiring the whole thing Lee Chun had planned out just for them.
From the shining beautiful lights, to the pretty rose flowers on the floor, then the big, awesome ship, with the romantic table and candles. Not forgetting the night ocean and sweet music that was playing in the background.
She was enjoying it all that for a moment there she forgot about Lee Chun and when she finally took notice of him...she couldn't find him by her side.
Huh? Where is he?
She turned around, only to see him down on one knee with an open ring box with a huge diamond ring. Ji-a gasped as she realized what was happening.
He is proposing to her. Although she is seeing it, she still can't believe it. He is actually proposing to her????
She really can't explain what she was feeling at that moment. Lots of emotions just bubbling its way in her stomach and her heart was singing joyfully. She is more than overjoyed. She is floating in the river of joy and happiness right now.
And her heart started racing as he spoke softly to her.
“ Ji-a, I..I really don't know what to say. I have many things I feel in my heart but I don't know the right words to use to express these feelings, maybe words ain't enough and I hope by my actions I have been able to show to you just how much you mean to me. I love you Ji-a, I love you with all my existence. I always want to wake up by your side. I want to kiss your lips in the morning and night, also in the afternoon and if possible every second of my life. I want to hug you tight until our hearts beat as one and even at that I don't want to let go. Ji-a, I will be gone for a while but I will be back, I will be back course no matter where I go, even if I am shot out of space or thrown into the deepest ocean I will always find my way back to you. I love you Ji-a and I want no one else but you. Please will you make me the luckiest man and happiness soul by being my wife? "
As Lee Chun spoke, pouring his heart out, Ji-a was already in tears and when he was done speaking.
“ Yes! Yes I will. "
She accepted in a state of joy and Lee Chun happily slotted the diamond ring into her ring finger.
“ Thank you. " He said standing up.
With his hands firmly but gently holding her waist he slowly leaned his face towards her's and they kissed...
★
It was a beautiful night, Lee Chun made it so special for Ji-a and she loves him with all her heart and soul and mind but Lee Chun loves her more.
He loves her with all his existence and emotions, his love for her is unlike anything of this world and that love was about to be tested greatly...
The next day
Lee Chun was ready to leave for America for his schooling but he never imagined it would be so hard to say goodbye to Ji-a. At first he was the one consoling her and reassuring her that it won't take long before he gets back as she was in tears as he was about to board the private jet.
He held her tight in a hug, telling her how much he loves her and how they would still be in contact even though they are far away.
“ I will always call you each day. Even better, we will video chat every single day, so I will get to see your pretty face. "
He had said, patting her hair gently.
Ji-a had smiled but still the tears were very much in her eyes so Lee Chun kissed her, maybe that will help her stop crying but the kiss only made him sad as he realized this would be the last time he will be kissing until 2 years time. So he kissed her even more passionately....
After the long kiss he dried her face clean of her tears with kisses.
“ I love you Ji-a, please don't cry. I will be back for you. I promise.. "
He was telling her goodbye yet he still held her firm in the hug. He really didn't want to let go. The feeling of her body this close to his, that he could feel her tender heart beat is a priceless feeling..
“ Master Lee, we have to go now. "
Mr Kuo-hon, his new personal assistant, who was specially hand picked by his father Mr Lee to accompany him on the trip and will stay with him in America until he graduates from business school. Came to inform him.
And that's when it dawned on Lee Chun that he really can't say goodbye. He isn't really that strong to let go of Ji-a. He had only been pretending to be strong so as to console Ji-a but in truth he was the one that needed consoling.
His whole body was crying out to stay with Ji-a and never leave her side. He wants to hold her tight in his arms and never let go forever. The emotions were too much for him and he was sure he couldn't hold it in any longer so he hastily let go of her and walked fast, even running to the plane.
He doesn't want her to see him cry, to see how vulnerable he is. How will she be able to be strong and believe everything will be fine if she sees him crying and looking weak? So he waited until he was in the plane and away from her before he gave way to tears, letting it all out.
He wept and wept until he fell asleep and in his sleep he dreamt of the time he would finally be reunited with his love and would never depart from her anymore. But what Lee Chun didn't know is that time may never come.
He thought he was traveling to America to school and gain knowledge that will help him run a multi billion dollar company. True that was one reason why he is going to America to school, but there is another reason, the main reason. Which is.
His father is sending him to America to separate him from Ji-a. What Lee Chun doesn't know is that he was flying to his prison and he has been sentenced to 2 years in it. Yes, the whole of America is now his prison cell and Lee Chun won't be able to come back to South Korea even if he wanted to, his father has made sure of that.
As soon as Lee Chun's plane touches the soil of America his father froze all his bank accounts and E asserts. He left him completely broke in a foreign land, the only way Lee Chun would be able to get money to feed was from the personal assistant Mr Kuo-hon.
Mr Lee made sure to instruct Mr Kuo-hon only to give Lee Chun the amount of money he need not want. In fact he told him to buy the things Lee Chun needs himself just so Lee Chun would be starved of cash in his hands. Mr Lee was very smart and devious in his plan, he knew without money Lee Chun would not be able to board a plane that will take him back to South Korea to see his orphan girlfriend, but he even went a step higher.
