Bangchan's Point of View

"I'm very impressed with your work Mr.Bang and Mr.Lee, As the head of this panel I'm glad to say that you passed." Our professor greetings us. The rest of the judges gave us a round of applause. I thank them back by bowing before we headed out of the room. It was seemingly a breath of fresh air the moment my body passed through the door frame. I glanced over a Minho to how he was doing. He had a wide smile on his face, he must also feel relieved by the results. Both of us worked hard on this so I wouldn't blame him for his excitement. 

"Where do you want to celebrate?" He asks as he disposed of his flashcards into the trash bin. 

"Anywhere, I just want to eat," I said doing the same with my cards. Any place is beautiful as long as I'm with you. 

"Okay then let's visit my parents." He said while he unbuttons his suit. It's been a long time since I've been to their house. It would definitely feel nostalgic. We head off to go home, we didn't bring any stuff today except for the final papers, script and food for the judging panel. After we got ready, we sat in the living waiting for his bad to pick us up. 

"Are you ready to go to Australia?" He asks, scrolling through the channels on the TV. The question had me on pause. It is actually unanswerable would just want a solid yes or no. I'm ready to see my family again, play with my dog and experience life in Sydney. Catch up on all the things I have missed through the years. But I will never be ready to leave him.

"Yeah, all my papers are ready along with my ticket and passport." I lied, I want to tell him how doubtful. How much I want to stay with him here in Korea. Or anywhere he would want us to be. But would he want to do the same? Maybe I would only hold him back if I told him I want to be with him. 

"That's good, When is your flight?" He asks again, not making any eye contact and still scrolling through the channels. Moon please look me in the eye and tell me not to leave. Instead of asking when will I go.

"The day after graduation," I replied, he seems so unfazed by what would happen. Won't he even miss me? It's like he doesn't care at all.

"I leave on that day too, we can go to the airport together." He simply says, turning the TV off and grabbing his phone out of his pocket. Where is going?

"Where are you headed that day?" I questioned, he hasn't mentioned anything about leaving Korea. All this time I thought he would stay here.

"America, I chose to work there." He answers, at that point we would be farther away from each other. But should it really end that way? 

"We only have our college retreat left before we graduate." He adds It's the only event left before the whole batch parts way. Should I take the chance? but then it's probably his dream to go to America. 

"You're right, let's make the most out of it," I say placing my hand on his shoulder, but he didn't react at all. Why can't you at least glance at me? Meet my eyes and tell me to stay, tell me you need me, tell me you want me... tell me you love me. 

"My dad would be here in 10 minutes, I'll just go the bathroom." He says, standing up and leaving to go to his room. I wanted to cry at that instant but I couldn't bring myself to tear up. It was as if I ran out of tears to shed. I stood up to get a glass of water from the kitchen. I need to calm down before he sees me. 

It took him most of the whole entire time before his father came for him to come out of his room. We picked up our stuff and headed down to the main lobby. His father greeted us with a big smile and helped us get our bag in the trunk. The car ride was quiet, Mr.lee really doesn't talk much so it was expected of him. But Minho was acting a bit differently. Usually, he would play some music or tell stories during any trip we go to but now he didn't.
