Race To Your Heart |Lee Heeseung|

47

When she arrived at the track from her almost ten-hour plane ride, fans were already getting in their cars to leave, but she went straight to the entrance that she had somehow become accustomed to.

She completely forgot about her suitcase in the taxi and the driver was yelling after her.

RJ spotted her immediately, and smiled brightly as he stepped out of her way.

"Ms. Rea! You're here! He's in the center of the track taking pictures! I'll get your bags!" He said loudly after her and she sent him a fast 'thank you'.

Rea rushed down the guarded pathways before reaching the entry to the track, immediately spotting him in the middle of a wave of reporters and photographers.

His beautiful eyes were slightly red, and he was clearly tired, but his professional side didn't let him falter as he posed for the cameras.

Her face immediately broke out in a smile at the sight of him, feeling tears reach her again.

She resisted the urge to call his name, but she didn't really have to, because as his eyes ran through the different reporters, they accidentally met hers.

Heeseung's eyes widened and his heart reached his thoughts before his judgement did.

He immediately passed the trophy to Mr. Kim, almost dropping it in the process but not caring, as he quickly ran down the steps.

Rea also couldn't help but drop her bag to run towards him.

They met each other in the middle as they wrapped their arms tightly around each other.

He held her tightly, almost lifting her into his arms as he pulled her so close he was worried to hurt her. But he wasn't even thinking straight as he cried with her.

"I missed you so much."

"I love you too Heeseung." She sobbed as she buried her face in his neck.

He kissed her head as she couldn't help but let out a laugh through her cries.

"You're so dramatic. I thought you said you'd never beg me."

"I didn't know this would happen." He giggled through his tears.

"How am I supposed to live in France? I don't know French."

"You have me." He laughed as he pulled away, placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

She softly wiped his tears, and he did the same as they smiled waveringly at each other.

The shuttering of cameras had become quicker from the spots of the journalists, but they both didn't care, as they embraced each other again.

"Well..." Mr. Kim started into a microphone making everyone's attention go to him. "That's his girlfriend. Official statement will be released by tonight, midnight. No scandals yet. Clear from scandals, please."

Heeseung and Rea couldn't help but chuckle as they watched Mr. Kim awkwardly clear his throat and address the media.

Heeseung adjusted the painting on the wall according to Rea's words as she stared in thought.

"A little higher." She said softly as she pointed, and he looked at her with a glare, before doing as she said. "Too high."

"You do it." He said quickly as he got off the stool and started walking past her.

Rea let out a laugh as she grabbed onto his arm to stop him from walking away.

"I'm kidding, Seungie. It's perfect."

He looked at her with his eyes slightly narrowed before looking at the painting again.
