  GOWONS POV
as we drove over to the airport, i couldn't help but see hyeju tear up. she was looking out the window. staring at all the happy family's at mcdonald's, amusement parks, anything we passed it reminded her of me. even though we weren't related, she was still family. i felt terrible. i put my hand on hers and she looked at me through the reflection. i looked back and mouthed "i love you".

HYEJUS POV
as she told me she loved me, i felt butterfly's in my stomach. i thought i was going to explode. we finally arrived and as we got out of the car i burst into tears. i felt someone hug me from the back. it was gowon. she then kissed me on the check. not a "i love you so much can you be my girlfriend" way, but in a "i will never forget you. i love you" way. i don't think i'm too young to be thinking about love. i mean, at least i'm not thinking about... yk what..

3RD PERSON POV
the 2 family's walked into the airport. they felt the wind of the air conditioning on their faces. as they kept walking they saw family's crying, and couples hugging. gowon didn't even realize that hyeju was still bawling her eyes out . then gowon felt guilty. she was leaving her best friend/crush and she will probably not see her in person again. gowon wanted to cry but she wanted to be perceived as strong.

GOWONS POV
as we waited in the airport, all i wanted to do was sleep. i put my head on hyejus shoulder seeing her blush. i quickly dozed off. i was awoken by the sound of a speaker. it was our que to leave. as the reached the gate, i burst into tears. hyeju comforted me like i had done to her all these years. before i left i felt something. it was hyeju. she pecked me on the lips. i blushed so hard i had to cover my face with hair. we finally got on the plane and as we took off, i couldn't stop thinking about that kiss.

HYEJU POV
as we left the airport, all i thought about was the peck. i shouldn't have done it. i wanna die. i am an idiot. why would i do that...

as we got home i ran to my room. i wanted to cry myself to sleep. as i opened the door, i saw something. it was a binder on my bed. it was labeled "To: Hyeju 💝 From: Wonnie.
i opened it to find writing on the first page. it wrote: dear hyeju
i'm writing this to you with tears in my eyes. by the time you see this, i'm already gone. shall we meet again? thank you for the best life. i cant think of a better friend than you. you're perfect. you're kind, funny, energetic, and extremely pretty. it hurts for me to leave you. i promise, i will stay safe, make good friends, and only hug my parents (just for you💝) i love you so much. your my best friend. you have to promise me that you will... stay healthy, safe, think about me all the time (duh) be nice to others, and stay energetic. whoever your next best friend will be, i know that they will love your energy, just like how i did. i PROMISE to email you every day. please reply.
XOXO
- your love, gowon

HYEJUS POV
i couldn't help but get tears all over the page. i flipped the page and found pictures of us with glitter and stickers. i finally got to the last page and something fell out. it was stickers. gowon always loved stickers. smelly, thick, soft, shiny, animal, star, happy face, any kind of sticker, she loved it. on one of the sticker packages it read... "this is my sticker collection. please take care of them. you can use them if you want. it's okay if you don't want to though. it's yours now. i love you." her stickers meant everything to her and she just gave them all to me. she's amazing.

GOWONS POV
as we are in the air, i see the ocean. the blue reminds me of hyeju. as i was thinking about her, i remembered that i left her the binder. all of my stickers. i hope she will always remember me. ugh im tearing up again. i hope she read the parts were i said she was pretty since sometimes tends to think otherwise. i've been told that i was very wise for my age. i mean, i'm not immature so i guess i can agree.

GOWONS POV
as we made it to our new home, i ran straight to my room and started unpacking. i was so excited for my new life. i finished and ran to the computer. we set it up, and i emailed hyeju. i wrote... "hello juie!! how are you? we just made it to my new home. it feels weird that you aren't here. i mean, you practically lived with us. did you find the binder? i hope you did. wait my mom is calling me. we are going to explore the town. good bye hyeju! i love you 💝" i got off the computer and went with my parents.

HYEJU POV
i feel terribly lonely. it's only been a day since i last saw gowon and i missed her so much. i heard my computer bing so i went over to it. it was an email from gowon! i replied as fast as i could. i wrote "hello wonnie!! i miss you very much. i saw the binder. it's perfect. thank you for the stickers, and i promise that i will stay safe, healthy, and all the other things you told me to do. i love you too! bye wonnie :)" she's told me she loves me at least 50 times this week. i'm not complaining though. i love her too. i decided to grab my empty journal and write "day 1 without gowon." it makes it seem like she's dead, but it's fine. i wrote about the binder, our email, the kisses she gave me, the kiss i gave her, holding hands, everything. i am a mess without her.
