"Australia?! I thought I was going back to Korea!"

Rose and her mum had turned up at the airport, only for her to find out that her destination wasn't what she expected.

"Why would you do that when your soulmate is somewhere else? Surely you knew that he'd gone home."

"Yes, but I don't know when he's leaving! We could miss each other."

"Fate wouldn't be so cruel. Go on, off you go, and good luck!"

"I think I'm going to need it."

It was a long flight, but she was excited once she arrived. Rose had always wanted to visit Australia - after Felix reassured her that the spiders weren't that big. She took a moment to take in the country before making a game plan.

Chan had mentioned a couple of places he liked to go in Sydney on his V Live, so she decided to start there. She did have his family's address, but she wanted to keep that as a last resort. Turning up unannounced was already going to be interesting without including his family.

I could always just ring him.

It could only have been a work of fate that when she was walking around the harbour she spotted someone who looked very familiar. Rose was torn between running to him and running away. Now that she was here, the fear of the unknown kicked in. Would he be happy to see her, angry, upset? There was only one way to find out.

He was leaning against the railing looking out to sea as she approached. Almost as if it was planned, once she was closer he turned towards her. She knew the exact moment he spotted her. He stared at her for a moment, probably wondering if she was real before starting to walk towards her. Rose met him halfway and they stopped in front of each other.

"Hello, Chan."

Realising that he wasn't imagining her, Chan stepped forwards and wrapped his arms around her.

"Rose. My Rose."

She didn't know how long they stayed like that for, but there was no way she was going to pull away first. When eventually he did pull back he held her face between his hands. When he didn't say anything, Rose began to feel uncomfortable.

"Surprise..."

"I can't believe your here."

"Are you happy to see me?"

"Happy? Rose, I..."

Chan couldn't find the words to describe how he felt right then. Instead, he leaned in and captured her lips in a heartfelt kiss. Pulling back, he leant his forehead against hers.

"I missed you."

Rose felt a tear run down her cheek.

"I missed you, too."

Chan kissed the tear away before kissing her lips again.

"Are you here to stay?"

"Forever, if you'll have me."

"You know I will."

Rose was almost sure she was dreaming. Her soulmate's welcome had been unlike anything she had imagined. The thing that made her sure she was awake was the weather.

"It's freezing here!"

"Did you forget it's winter here in Australia?"

"No... This trip wasn't exactly planned. It's summer everywhere else."

"Here."

Chan started to take his coat off and Rose's eyes widened in alarm.

"No, Chan! Then you'll be cold!"

"I'll be fine. At least I've got a hoodie on, all you've got is a thin cardigan."

"But..."

She was lost for words as he draped his jacket around her shoulders. After she had put her arms through the sleeves, he took her hand.

"Come on, I'll show you the sights."

Chan showed her all his favourite spots and told her all about growing up here as a kid. However, one thing he didn't talk about was anything to do with her leaving. They had a lot to talk about, but she figured it could wait a little while. Today they could just be happy to be together again.

At the end of the day, they ended up sitting on the beach. Chan guided her to sit between his legs and wrapped his arms around her. He had barely let go of her all day as if he was afraid if he didn't hold on to her she might disappear.

"You should tell Felix you're here."

"Does he hate me?"

"He could never hate you..."

"But?"

"He was very upset after finding out that you left... Without a word."

"Chan, I -"

"I don't want to talk about it right now. Just... Let him know you're here. He deserves to know that you're in the same country as him."

"Okay. When are you both going back?"

"End of the week."

"Are you -?"

"I haven't got a return flight."

"We'll book it when we get back to the house."

"Chan... Your family, what do they know?"

"As far as they're concerned you couldn't get time off with me, well, that was before..."

"You announced to the whole world that I abandoned you? I won't expect a warm greeting then."

"My mum's on your side. You made a great impression when she came to the concert. She said I must have done something wrong if you felt like you had to resort to such measures."

"I'll talk to her. Explain that it's all my fault."

"No, you won't."

"What? But I -"

"It was my fault as well. Now, stop talking about all that and let me enjoy being here with you."

"It really is beautiful here."

"More so now that you're here."

Rose messaged Felix first thing in the morning to let him know that she was in Australia. She waited nervously for a reply. After Chan, Felix was the person she had hurt most with her actions. They had a special relationship and she hoped that she hadn't ruined what they had forever.

"He's messaged me."

Rose turned to Chan.

"Who? Felix?"

"Yeah, he's asking if you're with me."

"Does he want to see me?"

"He's on his way round."

"What, now?!"

"I'll leave you two to talk "

Chan gave Rose a kiss on the forehead and ruffled Felix's hair as he left.

"You didn't say goodbye. I came back and - and you were gone."

"I'm sorry, but I knew that if I saw you I wouldn't have been able to leave. I know you must hate me -"

Suddenly Rose was holding the young Idol in her arms. Wrapping his arms around her tightly, Felix cried into her shoulder.

"I don't hate you, Noona! I missed you so much! Don't ever leave me again!"

Rose hugged him back and kissed him on the top of his head.

"I promise. I promise I'll never leave you again."

"I love you, Noona."

"I love you too, Lixie. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."

The two stayed like that for a while, until Chan came back in and joined the hug too.

Rose couldn't get a seat on the same flight as Chan so he changed his to a later one that they could both get. The two soulmates said goodbye to Felix at the airport as he got on the earlier flight. They still hadn't spoken properly about why she had left and it was bothering her, but every time she tried Chan shut her down.

When they landed in Korea, they both had masks, caps, and their hoods up as they made their way out of the airport. Chan had a tight grip on Rose's hand as he glanced from side to side. As this wasn't an official trip, he didn't have security, but that also meant that no one should know when his flight was.

Unfortunately, they were spotted and immediately surrounded by people and fans. Cameras were shoved in their faces as everyone tried to get a glimpse at Chan's soulmate. It was a hot topic because of the way he had announced that he had found her and also that she had left him.

Rose did her best to keep her head down as she experienced what the Idols went through every time they travelled through an airport. Suddenly someone pulled on her arm and she lost her grip on Chan's hand as she fell to the ground. Once she had recovered from the shock, she bent her knees and hid her face in them, holding her hands over her head to keep her hood up.

"Everyone step away. Now."

Chan rarely got angry so everyone knew that when he did it was serious. The crowd did as they were told and he crouched down beside his soulmate. Scooping her up, he carried her in his arms as they made their way to the exit. By now, security had arrived and escorted them to the car.

Once they were in the car, Chan immediately started fussing over her.

"Are you hurt? Rose? Are you okay? Oh my god, you're crying! Did you get hurt? I swear I'll -"

"I'm fine! Chan, I'm okay. I promise. It's just the shock. I'm okay."

"Sorry, I should've organised security."

"Don't apologise. I've seen you walk out with no security before completely untouched."

"But this time you were with me. This is what you were afraid of wasn't it."

Rose didn't need to answer. Instead, she leaned her head on his shoulder, cuddling up to his side as much as she could in the car to try and comfort him.

This was what Rose had been afraid of, and only a small part of it, but as long as Chan was with her, they could face anything together.
