Twenty minutes felt like an eternity as Sung Min navigated the busy London streets, his heart racing with excitement. He hadn't seen So Ra in person for months, and now she was just minutes away. His mind raced through all the things they could do while she was here—explore the city, grab dinner at their favorite restaurant, and of course, she'd get to watch him play tomorrow. The thought of her being in the stands made his chest swell with anticipation.
As he pulled up to the arrivals area at Heathrow, Sung Min scanned the crowd of travelers and tourists milling about the terminal. And then he saw her—So Ra, standing there with a small suitcase, dressed in a cozy sweater and jeans, her long hair cascading down her shoulders. Her face lit up the moment their eyes met.
