It's been almost eight years since he started to walk me home. I was not used to evening classes and staying up really late at school that's why he volunteered to walk home with me. At first, it's awkward but with those times, I tend to get to know him more and more. It's been seven years since I started to be depended on him. He walked me home every night. He makes sure that I'll be home safe. He reassured me to never leave my side and to not be afraid. It's been six years since I started to realize what I truly feel for him. At first, I thought it would never happen. I thought, he is just a friend, a close friend but it's been tsix years since started to mind what my heart really feels. I started to have this desire of telling him how I truly feel.
That time, I can't just tell him that I admire him or whatever feelings I have for him. It's not easy since I knew that he doesn't like me the way I like him. And he knew how I become uneasy every time I was rejected. He knew how I became miserable whenever I had a heartbreak. From the day I realized that I like him more than a friend, I started to get awkward. Like I said, I planned on telling him what I feel but I always end up shutting my mouth before. One side of me says that he will understand. Another part of me says that it will become complicated.
I am happy with the fact he's a complete gentleman. He is smart and really talented. Did I mentioned he's cute too? But I admire him because he cares for me unlike to anybody else. Since we go home together for almost three years, we just walk side by side. Nothing more, nothing less. Sometimes, I hold his arm when I can't keep up with his pace and he slows down so I can keep up but I remembered that there was a time he told me I could freely hold his arm. He liked it when I do. He minds me first than himself. I like it a lot. I like it that he cares.
One night, he told me that he's going to another country. He will be away for so long. It maybe a year, two years, ten years? His family is migrating there and he needed to be there for his parents. He is such a loving son after all. The night he told me that news, I almost fainted yet it is the most special night ever.
(Six years ago)
"Hyukkie-ah, my parents told me that we will be going out of the country." I looked at him confused. Why does he telling me this?
"Where are you going Minnie?" I asked as I waited for him to finish paying for the bread he just bought. He's hungry.
"To Australia."
"When are you going back?"
"After some years. I don't know yet. I'm going to continue my studies there and maybe I will be back after five years or so." I frowned hearing it. Five years? That's too long!
"W-when are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow."
'Tomorrow.' There. I dropped all my books. I stared at him. I almost cried. We stood there, in the bakeshop, just looking at each other. I was confused. Yesterday, we were planning of applying and going to the same university after graduation. Today, he told me he's leaving with his parents in some country far away from me. Tomorrow, I will be waiting for him to come back for only god knows how long it will be. Damn.
"NOOO! You can't leave. You can't leave me Minnie! Not now. I'm not ready to be alone. Why are you leaving me just like that! You made me to depend on you and now this, you're telling me you are leaving! No... please Min... I don't want you to leave... please..." I cried. I started bending down. I wanted to runaway from that place for embarrassing myself just now. Why am I pleading him to stay? He cannot do anything about it since it is his parents' choice. Why am I crying like a kid who was being bullied by some 6th graders? Hyukkie! He doesn't know your feelings for him. Idiot!
"Hyukkie-ah, I'm sorry."
"S-s-s-orry f-for w-what?"
"I don't intend to leave you. I never planned to be away from you and yes, it's my intention that you will be dependent to me because I want you to be with me always but my parents' decision can't be helped. I need to go with them..."
"I-I-It's n-not fair.." I managed to say in between sobs. He was comforting me for almost half an hour now.
"I know and I'm really sorry but will you wait for me?"
Did I hear it right? He is asking me to wait for him! But he's too far and it's years, can I wait for him that long? Can you Hyukkie? I gazed at him as he looked so worried. I looked at his hand and he immediately intertwined it to mine. I was shocked but deep inside I was so damn happy.
"Will you wait for me?" He said as he curved his lips into a sweet smile. I looked at our hands intertwined and I slowly nodded my head. I know he has been waiting for a reply but I'm too depressed to talk at the moment. He understood it perfectly since I saw him widen his smile.
"Hyukkie-ah! I will be back, I promise and when I did," He paused as he suddenly became serious, " please, let me love you."
Then my world just stopped. I hope I'm not dreaming. I wish this is really happening. My heart almost jumped out of me.
"I will let you love me if you let me love you starting today."

From that night until today, I did wait for him. It's been six years since then but all I can do is to wait. I waited and still waiting for Minnie, why?
It is because my eyes can only see his heart and his heart alone even if it takes forever, I will definitely wait for him.
