2011 Asia Tour Cri Show – Bangkok (May 29, 2011) – Part 4

For me, the hardest part of being a fangirl, even more than finding time and money to see the star, is the withdrawal syndrome afterward.  And the one after Bangkok is the hardest I’ve ever experienced.

I was supposed to go home at 2pm on May 30, but I couldn’t make it to the airport and had to take the next flight, which was the next morning.  The withdrawal had already hit me even from the time I woke up.  Usually I know I’d see him again soon, so the withdrawal wouldn’t be too bad. But not this time.  I don’t plan to go to any other stop of his Asia Tour. Marry Me, Mary event in Japan is still so unclear at the moment, and the earliest I could think to see him again would be for the dinner show in Seoul next year T_T  That’s why the withdrawal hit me so bad this time… And it dogged me through the afternoon… up to the point that my chest hurt even while half of me was enjoying Johnny Depp on the big screen. So the moment the movie ended, I called up my friends and asked them where Sukkie was.

A friend said that she saw Sukkie leaving the hotel and going to Central World for a bit of shopping, so I started to make my way there.  Then she texted me saying that Keun Suk was said to be going to Kempinski instead, so we turned back and went to the hotel.  I told my friends that I was at Kempinski waiting for Suk (and just at that time I saw the Ole guy, so I knew he’s really there) so they made their way to Kempinski too.

By that time, rumors were abound. Some said he had canceled his flight that night and would go back the next day instead. Another rumor was that he would go vacationing in Thailand before going off to Kuala Lumpur, while I also heard he had filming to do in Seoul on Monday and Tuesday and would have to go back on Sunday. Then minutes later, another information was that he had reconfirmed his flight and would fly off that night as scheduled. While waiting for more confirmation, we also heard he was in a meeting with Ole at the hotel and that he would have dinner with them before going to the airport.  So we went up to our room, got ready then decided we would go straight to the airport and wait for him there. We’d have dinner in the airport to save time… (and regret it now because I heard he actually had dinner in one of the hotel restaurants then a swim before he went to the airport. And to think that our room had a pool view *sigh*)

Anyway, another friend called me and asked if I wanted to go inside the gate to send him off.  Hell, yeah!! ^______________^ She said she would arrange it for me… so around 9.30pm, she called me and directed me where to go and who to meet and in I went ^O^ Only 3 other people were there when I got to his departure area.  Then some more people (mostly Japanese fans) came in.  Around 10pm, I saw his manager Heungro walked with some of his staff. Then his parents walked past us. I kept my eyes trained to catch a sight of him.  Then I saw Jason… and knew he would be nearby ^.^ We started walking to the gate while looking back several times to see him walking behind us with his entourage (all the while I was thinking why am I walking in front of him ^^;; )

So I slowed myself down until I was walking behind him.  Just like when he arrived, I was looking at his back and thinking how come a guy’s skin could be so smooth LOL then something black on his wrist caught my eyes. I thought to myself, what was this guy doing wearing a wrist band at this time of night. Did he miss playing tennis that much? But at that moment, the wrist band flashed and I realized it’s not wrist band at all, but a bracelet! More correctly, a bracelet so similar to what I had given him in Singapore!!

So I hurried a bit trying to get a closer look at the bracelet. At one time, my friend and I walked right beside him. She gave him a gift and he smiled while looking at it and thanking her, saying it’s so cute.  I saw the bracelet clearly then. It was really what I gave him in Singapore!! Eyes like O.O and breathless, I said to him to have a safe trip back (so stupid!! should have said something better! T_T). He looked at me, smiled and nodded.

Then we arrived at his gate.  He didn’t go in straight away but had a little chat with the staff who sent him off (and Gunsama said no pics! so I didn’t take any… ^^;; ) And he spoke in English!! *sooooo happy!! ^_____^*  The promoter said  to him, “I’ll see you in Seoul” and Suk said “yeah, see you in Seoul.” Then he took pics with the staff: the Ole guy, the promoter, etc.  With Jason, he said, “so Friday in Malay, right?” and Jason said, “yes, see you Friday.”  They shook hands.  Then grinning, Keun Suk kissed Jason’s hand… and Jason retaliated by pretending to want to lick Suk’s hand and he yelled and snatched his hand back LOL While Jason and Gunsama had a manly handshake (like they’re going to arm wrestle :P), Keun Suk chatted with the promoter’s secretary and kissed the back of her hand too (aiyooo, lucky girl ^^;; )  Then Gunsama said they’d better go in, so in they went.

Afterwards, it’s the fans’ turn. Keun Suk waved at us (who were hanging by the railing like shouting monkeys ^^;; ) and said goodbye. When he’s right in front of me, I said the only thing I could think of: bye cri~ (again! -_-;; I need a better brain!!) and he waved and said bye back to me (which made me  so happy… I’m just so easy… ^^;; )  Then one Japanese fan waved the cover of Let Me Cry CD, and he took it and signed it on the spot!  He spoke a string of Japanese words and then “See you at the Arena” in English.  Before he went in, he did a turning dakchan pose, gave us flying kiss, then said “I love you!!” A last wave, then he was gone.

Then and there, half of my withdrawal syndrome was put to rest.  Being able to say goodbye directly to him amazingly worked wonder for me ^.^  And now I can tell myself that no matter when I’d be able to see him again, I know I will…

Until I see you again, Sukkie… missing you already… ^^
