SHOTARO : Farewell Note

"I walk in the starry town with my head down. I'll try to make a smile when tears flow from my eyes someday."

☆•☆•☆•☆•☆•☆•☆

"Osaki Shotaro's train is leaving soon. Are you not gonna say bye?"

"I don't know..." I sighed, hugging a shark plushie on An's bed. "We've been a bit... Distant..."

"Why?" An asked, gaze not leaving her book. "Did you guys fight?"

"It's impossible to pick a fight with Taro. I mean, have you seen him?" Hyoyeon scoffed, taking off her round glasses.

"Well, if they didn't fight, then what did they do?" An deadpanned, shooting her girlfriend a glare.

"We just got distant since he said that he's going back..." I whispered, tightening my hold on the shark. "And it's fucking killing me..."

"What even happened? Did you guys just agree to keep your distance or something?"

"He just told me, and the mood dropped, and... We stopped talking..."

"Park Jiyeong, please." An sighed, closing her book. "He wants to talk to you. Just talk to him. I can't bear to see you mope for another second."

"Will we even make it in time?" I raised a brow, putting the shark plushie down.

"Don't be like that." Hyoyeon groaned, standing up from her seat and grabbing her fluffy black coat with small red devil horns on its hood and small red devil wings on its back. "There's still time. We'll take you there."

☆•☆•☆•☆•☆•☆•☆

"I'm never having An drive me anywhere ever again..."

"Deal with it." Hyoyeon zipped up her oversized coat. "She's handy for times like these."

"Well, why are still you standing there?!" An scoffed. "Hyo, go take her to Osaki Shotaro. I'll park the car and see you guys in a bit."

"Right." Hyoyeon nodded before grabbing my arm amd pulling me inside. "Let's go."

We quickly pushed through the crowds of people, all the way to a map in the middle of the station.

"If I remember correctly, Taro said that he's going to be at station six..." Hyoyeon mumbled, skimming through the map before pointing at a certain spot. "There! Let's go!"

"Is no one seeing him off?" I raised a brow as Hyoyeon kept on dragging me through the crowds. "There's too many people here for my liking, geez..."

"We all said our goodbyes yesterday and threw a party." Hyoyeon explained before turning around to glance at me. "It's that party you ditched for sleep."

"Dammit, Jisung told you?" I scoffed. "That fucker..."

"You made us worry, Ji. You can't blame him."

"... I'm sorry..."

"Don't apologize, Ji. I get how you feel..." Hyoyeon stopped abruptly before turning around, flashing me a reassuring smile. "Goodbyes are bittersweet, but as long as you live, you can never escape them. It's normal to feel sad over them."

My lips formed a small smile, slowly nodding in response. Hyoyeon chuckled before ruffling my hair and looking behind her.

"He's sitting on that bench. Go talk to him."

"Thanks, Hyo." I pat her shoulder before walking to Shotaro, who was seated on a bench, a pen in one hand and a piece of paper in the other.

"Do I end it with a common 'Shotaro' or something more intimate like 'Love, Shotaro', or—"
