"Congrats Y/n!!!" Both of them smiled warmly at you, while you gazed at them silently, coldly.

Seeing your blank face, the faces of the two guys also became stoic as they stared at you with trembling hearts.

You ultimately smiled and reached out to take the gifts they brought for you, "Thanks for these." You smiled at them and they too smiled at you widely.

"Here, your… tickets.." Jungkook reached out to take out a ticket from his pocket and gave it to you. Since now you have completed your graduation, now you are finally going to archive what you have always wanted to. You're going to Japan for the startup of your business.

Starting a new journey, you know it will be really hard there, alone. But you knew you can do it. You had that trust in yourself.

Jungkook still had to complete his graduation so he was obviously not leaving anywhere. After his brother and Mina were handed over to the police, he sincerely apologised for his mistake and you couldn't help but forgive him as whatever he did was for his own blood. You knew if you would be on his place, you would have done the same.
While about Taehyung, after his parents were handed over to the police, all the responsibilities of his business and the whole college came on his shoulder. Though he was himself still a student, most of the official work was done by his uncle, while he was now the new principal of the college.

About you punishing him, you have decided to keep your distance from him. You wanted to think, think about your relationship with him. You knew about his feelings and somewhere you also had the same feelings for him.

You have sensed his regret and his guilt long ago. You knew he was terrified after his sister passed away. Anyone would be.
Right now you just wanted to give yourself a break from every relationship in your life and focus on your career.

"All the best Y/n! You can do it!" Jungkook bowed his head till the window of Taehyung's car as you were now sitting in the passenger seat and Taehyung was about to drive you towards the airport.

You smiled warmly at him and nodded your head. You don't have any idea when you're going to see him again. His cute bunny smile and his angry face whenever he eats something delicious, you are surely going to miss everything about him.

"Take care." You softly whispered to him as Taehyung started the car. You quickly waved your hands towards Jungkook who smiled and waved back at you. Jungkook stood frozen on his spot, his hand still waving while the car was already out of his sight, "Wish I could say it earlier…"

"Your passport, ticket and your Identity Card…" Taehyung counted everything and placed them in your hands as you tried to look in his eyes, which he was avoiding very clearly. 

"I have forwarded you the hotel location and the room number. Even though the hotel is very near the airport, don't walk around alone. Take a taxi and make sure to send me the number plate of the taxi before boarding it. The room is book with your name, after a few days, I'll send you a few apartments addresses where you can live for the time being. Also the-"

"I will miss you."

Taehyung finally raised his watery eyes to glance at you, only to find you smiling at him with your shiny glistening eyes.

He gulped and immediately turned away his head as the tears he tried to suppress started to fall out of his eyes. You stared at his side profile as he bit his lips to control his sobs.

Without waiting for a second, you hugged his waist and buried your head in his chest, making him stumbled a little but he too immediately wrapped his arms around you and broke into endless tears.

"Don't go…" he whispered in your neck, making you cry even more, "Please don't leave me.."

"I have to…" you sniffed and rubbed his back to calm him down.

"How will I live here… alone? Taeri is gone too… how can I..?" Your whole body shook as you cried in his arms while he did the same, ignoring all the eyes of bystanders who were passing by you and him.

"I will come back…" you rubbed your face in his shirt, making it wet with your tears while he had already soaked your jacket with his endless tears.

"Can you wait for me?" You sensed his sobbings slowly stopping as he moved a little back to look in your eyes, while you did the same. Lowering his head, he looked deep into your eyes before nodding his head in confirmation.

He knew it was for you, for your career. He knew how much of a self dependent girl you were. And he appreciated it the most. The thing that attracted him towards you the most was your confidence even after being alone.

He wasn't like you and he knew that he cannot live alone, without someone he loves by his side.

He never had a good relationship with his parents, still, they were his parents and spoilt him a lot. He had a soft corner for them too, but they were gone now.

He always relayed on Taeri for everything. She wasn't just his elder sister but also his best friend.
But, Taeri is gone, for forever. And seems like the God is really upset from him, now he cannot even keep you close to him, because you also had to build your own career.

He wants to stop you so badly, but he knew he cannot. The feeling of being left alone was something he fears the most, but he cannot help it this time. To punish himself, he had to get used to this alone-ness, so that later, you can forgive him and have a good future with him.

"Don't forget me after becoming rich…" you couldn't help but chuckled at his words. Suppressing the hurt in his heart, he was back to his playful personality, trying not to make you cry along with him.

"I can wait… as long as you want me to wait…" Taehyung muttered, resting his forehead against yours and closed his eyes, making you smile looking at his closed eyes.

"I don't know when I will come back. But I just want one promise from you before I leave…" distancing yourself from him, you looked up in his eyes and he did the same, without any trace of denial, he muttered, "Go on."

"Promise me… you will trust me no matter what happens…" you forwarded your palm towards him and he stared at it before gently taking it in his hand.
He rubbed the center of your palm with his long fingers before bowing his head to place a soft, light and feathery kiss on your palm, "I promise."

You smiled with tears in your eyes and he did the same. "Now you have a lot of responsibilities… take care of yourself…"  removing your hands from his grasp, you kept them on either sides of his shoulders before tip-toeing towards his face.

"Goodbye…" after murmuring a soft whisper in his ear, you placed a feathery kiss on the apple of his cheek before moving back and taking your luggage from him.

Without waiting for anything, you immediately turned around and walked towards the checking area, without turning towards him who was almost crying like an abandoned child.

You had to do this. This was like a sacrifice, leaving him to let him grow and to grow yourself too.

The day turned darker with no shade of light as the two souls were parting their ways, not to leave each other for forever, but to later come back with a bright future and a life full of love and happiness, that was waiting for them…

The question he asked if you would be his girlfriend or not, was
still unanswered and he knew he had to wait for it,  and he was ready for it. They have promised to get together again, and they will. They just had to wait a little longer…

The End~
