love always comes in the most unexpected ways. That’s what your mother always told you. You’ve always laughed it off and told her it was nonsense, until it really happened

it was the summer four years ago, when you flew to Australia with a friend for a vacation and met your dream guy at the beach. His name was bangchan and he was 27 years old, worked in a music company. He was the one who composed the music and all that important stuff

over the three weeks you were in Australia, you exchanged numbers and spent more and more time together and as crazy as it sounded, you fell for him, and he secretly fell too

when you had to leave and go back to London, you both agreed to keep in touch, no matter the distance. You knew it would be hard but you wanted to keep being friends. At least that’s what you told yourself, even if you knew deep down you wanted more—way more

you both kept your promise. You kept in touch through texts, video calls, random selfies he’d send you throughout the day. He was thoughtful, kind, and you always told yourself he was probably way out of your league. He always asked how your day was, sent you small care packages to show you how much he cared and one year after you met, he surprised you when he stood on your doorstep with flowers and a shy smile with his dimples on full display

those two weeks he spent with you in London were probably the best weeks of your life. You confessed your feelings, he slept in your apartment with you, and you spent ever moment with him. But everything comes to an end when he had to leave again. It broke you to sleep in an empty bed again but you knew he’d always be there, no matter how far away from each other you were

in those three years of your official relationship, there were hard times where jealousy and doubts got the best of you. Where the time difference was unbearable and you two were too busy to even text. There were moments where you doubted everything, thought about ending things because it was too hard. But through it all, he stayed by your side, a constant in your life where everything else had an ending. Your relationship didn’t

you stayed strong and that’s how you’re still together, four years after meeting at a random beach in Australia on your summer vacation. He was visiting you again in London, planning to surprise you with some news. You laid in your bed together since it was quite late, you cuddled up in his arms when he spoke up

“what would you do if I said I’m gonna move here to London?” he looked at you, smiling sheepishly while waiting for your reaction
