she never planned to end up in North Korea and she  definitely never expected to fall for a soldier   from the other side of the world but just when  she thought love had conquered all the past came   knocking threatening to tear them apart forever  with spies watching families resisting and a   desperate fight to stay together their love story  takes a turn no one saw coming sit back and enjoy   this thrilling part two because the guest is yet  to come she stared at him her heart pounding it   had been years since that fateful night when she  was forced to leave North Korea now at the airport  

standing just a few feet away from her was June ho  no longer in his Soldier uniform but looking even   more handsome than she remembered Tears welled  In Her Eyes did he still love her had he moved   on junho’s eyes widened in shock as if he wasn’t  sure she was real then slowly he stepped forward   peace is it really you his voice was soft but she  could hear the emotion in it she nodded but before   she could speak a voice interrupted them who is  she junho peace turned and saw a beautiful Korean  

woman standing beside him holding on to his arm  her heart sank had she lost him forever P’s heart   clenched as she stared at the woman holding  junho’s arm was she his wife his fiance had   he really moved on junho looked between them his  expression unreadable but peace could see it the   hesitation in his eyes the emotions he was trying  to hide the woman frowned glancing at junho oper   who is she oper the word stung it was a term of  dearment something peace had once called him had   she really lost him junho took a deep breath she’s  someone from my past past the word hit her like  

a slap peace forced herself to smile though she  could feel her heart breaking it’s nice to see you   again junho she said softly her voice trembling  the woman still confused smiled politely I’m   a Jun hose she hesitated then added family friend  not his girlfriend hope flickered in Pie’s chest   but she quickly pushed it away what did it matter  he had a whole life now junho suddenly spoke his   voice more urgent peace can we talk she glanced  at the time her flight was in an hour maybe it   was best to leave things as they were but could  she really walk away without knowing the truth her  

heart battled with her mind as she whispered okay  what would he say had he really moved on or was   there still something between them junho LED peace  to a quieter corner of the airport his grip on her   wrist firm yet gentle just like the way he used  to hold her all those years ago her heart pounded   as she tried to prepare herself for whatever he  was about to say he ran a hand through his hair   looking nervous I thought I’d never see you again  he admitted his voice barely above a whisper peace  

swallowed the lump in her throat neither did I  for a moment there was only silence the memories   between them were too heavy too raw then she  gathered her courage and asked the question   that had been burning inside her since she saw  him junho is she your girlfriend junho blinked in   Surprise then quickly shook his head no GA isn’t  my girlfriend she’s someone my family wanted me to   marry Pie’s breath hitched wanted he sighed they  arranged it I never agreed I couldn’t because he   trailed off his dark eyes locking onto hers with  an intensity that made her knees weak because I  

never stopped loving you peace her eyes widened  did she hear that right junho reached for her   hands his touch warm and familiar I tried to move  on I tried to forget but every night I wondered   if you were safe if you were happy and now that  you’re here I can’t let you go again tears welled   up in P’s eyes she had dreamed of this moment  but never thought it would actually happen but   what about your family what about North Korea she  asked afraid of the consequences junho took a deep   breath that’s what I wanted to talk to you about  I made a choice piece she frowned what choice his  

next words sent a shock through her entire body  I left North Korea for you peace gasped junho   had given up everything his home his status his  family’s approval just for a chance to be with   her but could love truly conquer the past or were  there still obstacles waiting for them was their   love strong enough to survive peace stared at  junho her heart racing he left North Korea for me   her mind spun with questions how had he managed  to escape what did this mean for his future would   his family ever forgive him she searched his  face for answers junho what do you mean you  

left he sighed running a hand through his hair it  wasn’t easy after you left I knew I couldn’t stay   I couldn’t pretend to live a life that wasn’t  mine so I took a risk I escaped through China   Pie’s breath caught that’s dangerous junho nodded  I know I was hunted I had to hide but I made it   and now I live in South Korea her eyes widened  South Korea he had given up everything he had ever   known for a life of uncertainty just for a chance  to be free just for a chance to find her junho   reached for her hands again his fingers trembling  peace I don’t have much I don’t have my old life  

but I have a future and I want you to be part of  it her heart swelled but fear still lingered but   your family will they ever accept this he exhaled  deeply they disowned me his voice was pained but   steady I have nothing tying me back there anymore  you’re the only thing I have left tears well held   up in Pie’s eyes he had lost everything but here  he was standing in front of her choosing love   over everything else she took a shaky breath her  emotions overwhelming her junho I before she could  

finish a voice interrupted them peace our flight  is boarding she turned to see her friend waving   at her this was it the moment of decision Stay or  Leave junho’s grip tightened slightly if you walk   away now I won’t stop you but if there’s even a  small part of you that still loves me stay Pie’s   heart pounded was she ready to risk everything for  him the way he had for her she had mere seconds to   decide and then she took a deep breath and made  her choice Pie’s entire world seemed to slow as  

she stared into junho’s eyes the airport buzzed  around them announcements echoed overhead people   hurried past and yet in that moment it was just  the two of them her friend called her name again   peace come on junho’s grip loosened slightly  as if he was preparing himself for the worst   peace swallowed hard if I leave now will I  regret it forever then she made her choice   she stepped closer to junho her hands trembling as  they cued his face I’m not leaving she whispered   junho’s eyes widened in shock you mean I love  you piece interrupted her voice breaking I never  

stopped a breath of relief escaped his lips before  he pulled her into his arms holding her as if he   would never let go again tears streamed down her  face as she clung to him she didn’t care what the   world thought she didn’t care about what she was  leaving behind junho had risked everything for   her now it was her turn her friend stood Frozen  watching the scene unfold then with a small smile   she gave peace a nod of understanding before  turning away and boarding the plane without her   peace buried her face in junho’s chest listening  to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat he chuckled  

softly you really stayed she pulled back to look  into his eyes wiping away her tears of course I   did junho cued her cheek his touch warm and gentle  then let’s start over no secrets no fear just us   peace smiled through her tears just us and with  that their new Journey began together Against   All Odds junho and peace stood in the middle  of the airport their hands intertwined their   hearts pounding with the weight of what had just  happened she had stayed she had chosen him but   reality was setting in fast what now junho gently  wiped the last of her tears let’s go home home the  

word hit piece differently now where was home  Nigeria South Korea or was it simply wherever   junho was she took a deep breath and nodded let’s  go they left the airport stepping into a new life   together the streets of Soul were nothing like  North Korea Bright Lights people laughing freely   music playing from cafes and stores it was  overwhelming and exciting all at once junho   guided peace through the crowded streets his  grip on her firm and protective my apartment   isn’t too big he admitted rubbing the back of his  neck but it’s ours peace smiled it’s perfect as  

they stepped inside she looked around it was small  but cozy there were books stacked on a tiny wooden   shelf a single couch and a kitchen that looked  Barely Used she turned to junho with a playful   smirk do you even cook he laughed I survived in  North Korea didn’t I she rolled her eyes barely   for the first time in a long time junho felt light  like he could finally breathe but not everyone was   happy about their love a few days later junho took  peace to meet an old friend someone who had helped  

him escape from North Korea his name was mini  and the moment he saw peace his face darkened   you’re dating a foreigner mini asked Crossing his  arms junho frowned I love her mini shook his head   do you have any idea how hard this is going to  be the government watches defectors like us if   they find out you’re with someone from Africa  they’ll ask questions they might not let her   stay Pie’s stomach Twisted what do you mean mini  sighed she needs a Visa right and to stay longterm   she needs approval if the government sees as a  threat they won’t make it easy for her junho’s  

jaw clenched then we’ll fight it we’ll prove our  love mini looked at peace are you ready for that   because loving a man like junho won’t be easy  peace met his gaze determination burning in her   eyes I didn’t leave my whole life behind to walk  away now mini studied her for a moment then sigh   then you both better be ready for what’s coming  junho squeezed Pie’s hand no matter what they   would face it together but neither of them knew  just how hard the fight for their love would be   days turned into weeks and peace and junho’s  love only grew stronger they explored Soul  

together she marveled at the bright City and  he found joy in seeing the world through her   eyes but the shadow of their uncertain future  loomed over them junho had been warned getting   peace a long-term Visa wouldn’t be easy he  had defected from North Korea and although   South Korea had accepted him the government still  watched him closely if they saw his relationship   as a risk they could force peace to leave and  then the worst happened the government’s warning   one evening junho arrived home to find a letter  taped to his door his hands shook as he tore it  

open junho we are aware of your relationship  with the foreign Woman as a Defector you are   still under observation be careful of your choices  South Korean immigration junho’s heart pounded   they were watching them when peace saw the letter  her face paled does this mean they’ll send me me   back junho clenched his fists not if I can help  it they needed a plan fast A desperate solution   junho met with mini again there has to be a way  for peace to stay he pleaded mini sighed there is   one way but it’s risky junho leaned in tell me  mini hesitated before answering marriage junho  

froze he and peace had talked about marriage but  this was different if they married now it wouldn’t   just be for love it would be to keep her safe  that night junho told peace about the plan she   took a deep breath do you want to marry me because  you love me or because you’re afraid of losing me   junho cued her face gently I love you but I won’t  lie I’m also afraid of losing you peace smiled   Tears In Her Eyes then let’s do it the wedding  was small held in MJ’s apartment with only a   few close friends peace wore a simple hok and  junho held her hands tightly as they exchanged  

vows when the officient finally said you may  kiss the bride junho pulled peace into his arms   and kissed her deeply for the first time he  felt safe like no one could take her away now   but the battle wasn’t over junho wanted peace to  meet his adoptive South Korean family the people   who had taken him in when he first arrived  but when they learned about the marriage they   weren’t pleased his adopted father Mr Kang frowned  she’s a foreigner do you know how hard this will   be junho stood his ground I love her Mrs Kang  SED we don’t doubt your love but will Society  

accept it peace finally spoke I understand your  fears but I love junho and I won’t leave him no   matter what there was a long silence then Mr Kang  finally nodded if you’re willing to fight for each   other then you have our blessing tears welled  in P’s eyes she had a family again it wasn’t   easy but P’s Visa was finally approved junho and  peace built a life together in Soul they opened a   cafe where peace introduced Nigerian dishes to  Koreans and junho taught self-defense classes   years later as they walked hand inand through  the streets of Soul pce looked up at junho and  

smiled I’m glad I got lost in North Korea she  whispered junho chuckled Best Mistake of your   life and with that they stepped forward into  a future filled with love laughter and endless   Adventures if you found this story interesting  please like share comment and subscribe for more
