You Will Forever Be My Always - Chapter 31 (Riku's P.O.V)

It was morning and I could feel the sun beaming down on me as if someone was using a magnifying glass to burn me. I sat up in my bed and suddenly my head started hurting. it felt like all the blood was rushing our of my brain or something. I slowly got up and went out of my room and saw Aia’s room closed. Was she back? Did she decide to stay with me? I quickly opened her door and saw Sun Hee sleeping in her room. Why is she here? More importantly, what is she doing here?! I could feel a sense of anger within me and stormed off back to my room. I went to my bathroom and looked at myself. Was I changing my behavior because of Aia? Did I invite Sun Hee over last night?

I quickly took a shower and got ready and went down stairs. Mrs. Yua wasn’t here. Maybe she decided to take today off too? I walked down the stairs and started brewing some tea. I then heard footsteps coming down the stairs and closer towards me. I felt them hugging me and I quickly turned around. It was Sun Hee…

“Good morning Riku.” She smiled while hugging me.

“Whst are you doing?” I asked.

“Showing you my love and affection. what else.” She stated.

“Why are you here?” I asked pouring me some tea.

“You invited me over last night because you were sad that Aia was leaving and that she called off the wedding.” She explained.

“That makes sense now. Go shower and get ready, Director Kazashi wants to finish the filming today.” I said.

“And shower in the guest room since Aia will come back for her things.” I said and she nodded. She went back upstairs and in the guest room. I guess she brought a change of clothes too. I sighed and sat down at the table drinking my tea and reading the media on my phone. I was suddenly disrupted by knocking on the door and went to go answer it and saw Aia.

“Hey.” She smiled a bit back.

“What are you doing here?” I asked.

“I came for my belongings and clothes.” She said.

“Oh right, come in.” I said opening the door wider.

“Thank you.” She said and came inside.

She then went upstairs and started packing her clothes. I didn’t want her to go, but how could I tell her that Sun Hee was also here. I went upstairs to her room and her questioning the bed and its messed up sheet then went back to packing.

“Where are you going?” I asked.

“I’m going to america.” She said and my eyes widen.

“What for?!” I said.

“College since I gotta start moving into the dorm.” She explained.

“Will you ever come back?” I asked.

“Yeah, I will after I’m done.” She said looking at me.

“Why…why did you have to chose a place so far away?” I asked.

“Because it would be good for me and the Director of Nakamura Studios wants me to try out for the leading female role in his upcoming drama and he’s filming it in america too.” She explained. I walked over to her and out my hand on her cheek.

“I…I don’t want you to go.” I said with sad eyes. She moved my hand from her face and held on to it.

“I’m sorry Riku.” She said and walked out of the room with her things. I stood there trying holding back tears and went after her. I rushed downstairs and opened the door and saw her drive away. I was too late. I suddenly felt an empty void in my chest and I’m not zo sure it should feel that way. I watched her car get smaller and smaller the further she drove off.

“Riku? Where are you?” I heard Sun Hee’s voice. I went back inside and saw her waiting to leave.

“Are you ready?” I asked grabbing the keys.

“Yeah, let’s go so we won’t be late.” She said and went out the door.

I locked the door and went after her. We both got into my car and I drove us to T.J Entertainment to meet up with Director Kazashi. The car was quiet and I couldn’t help but keep thinking about Aia and how she’s really leaving. I didn’t want that, but I also know that I can’t stop her because it’s her choice, but I’m still happy for her.

We made it to T.J Entertainment and went inside. We met up with Director Kazashi and the rest of the cast. We went over what needs to be done left in the scenes we were getting ready to shoot.

“And action!” Director Kazashi yelled in his megaphone.

We started acting the scene out and since it was a sad scene where the princess’s father, the king, finds out that his daughter fell in love with an enemy soldier, he decided to make her watch him execute the love of her life to teach her a lesson in front of the whole kingdom.

It was a sad scene and it was the last scene we were filming. I actually enjoyed filming this drama and the more I was in character the more I could feel the character’s pain and happiness and desire at the same time. I wished that the princess and the soldier had a happy ending since they really loved each other and wanted the best for each other and the very end amd most importantly, their love was also pure amd innocent.

“And cut!!” The director yelled again and everyone stopped doing what they did. I went back to my makeup crew so they could get the makeup off my face.

“Great job guys! The drama is gonna look be amazing!” Director Kazashi said while we were all busy removing our makeup and changing back to our original clothes.

After we were done with the film we all went home and it was a long day of filming since it was hard to get the outfit together and ready for the actor who was playing the king. I drove home and this time Sun Hee was not with me. I made it home and went inside and realized it was already sunset. I went out to the balcony and looked at the sky. It was orange and pink which made it even prettier. I sat there remembering how Aianand I wod always come out here enjoying the sunset together and now that’s all I wanna do…I just sat there on the balcony looking at the horizon and then sun setting waiting for everything to be okay again…
