A/N I got the idea for this story when i was listening to f(x) Goodbye summer ft D.O . Though the story is slightly different but i think it suits well?
It was the last day of highschool and from then on everyone will be going down different paths to find their own future. You were excited about starting something new but also worried about your best friend XiuMin. The relationship you had with XiuMin was kind of complicated. Your two were bestfriends who had feelings for each other and the 2 of your knew about your mutual feelings. But then neither of you had declared your relationship status with each other as a couple. Hence your were somewhere in between being more than bestfriends but less than lovers.
You wanted to go further into being a couple with XiuMin, and you knew he wanted too. The problem was with you. You were hesistant. XiuMin wanted to go abroad to study and you were unsure whether you had the patience to wait for his return. Currently, you were standing by his locker, thinking of discussing this with XiuMin. You have waited a long time since classes were over and the hallways were empty.
"Hey. Sorry i was late." You replied with a smile and proceeded to walk down the hallways with him. XiuMin started talking first. "___. I have decided... to go overseas to study. I'm sorry. If you decide not to wait for me, i can understand." You tried to hold back your tears but they were soon dripping down your face. When you look at XiuMin's eyes they were brimming too, but you could tell he was holding them back.
"Haha, er i guess this is it huh? Dont worry, its not that i am going away forever. Dont cry anymore alright?... Goodbye____. Take care of yourself." And with a kiss on your forehead, he left with you still standing in that deserted hallway.
"I'm sorry XiuMin..."
