Today was the day. The day BTS were going to leave. Today would be their last day working as HYBE employees. which wasn't going to be very long, considering there's nothing in their schedule. The boys were merely going to bid goodbye to everyone once and for all. And then leave.

And guess what? I was late to work that day.

Yeah.

"Shit...shit...shit" I cursed under my breath as the bus came to a stop and I all but jumped out of it, checking my watch every thirty seconds. I was really late, like really really late because there were only a few minutes left before the boys would leave and I wasn't with them. I had to be with them.

With my hairs a tangled ness, I rushed inside the building as the glass doors opened. So caught up in my race to reach the boys that I didn't even realize I was going to crash head first into someone until that very person held me back by the shoulders.

"Woah easy there Yoona! Why are you running?"

"Sorry and excuse me but I have to go up-"

It was then that I registered the voice and who it belonged to, cutting me mid sentence. My head shot up at the man before me, my lips parting in surprise. "Jimin hyung..."

Jimin smiled despite himself, letting go off my shoulders as the rest surrounded him. "Why are you running?"

"I-I-" What was wrong with me? Why couldn't I form a coherent sentence?

Jimin raised an eyebrow with that smile still intact, as if urging me to go on. So I did. "I was looking for you guys. It's...it's your last day and I'm late and-"

"So you were running?" Came Hoseok's amused voice,asking me gulp air when I didn't even realize how breathless I was. When I gave no reply, Hoseok only laughed, ruffling my hairs.

Which pissed me off. I don't like anyone touching my hairs.

But now was not the time.

"Silly you. Did you think we would leave without seeing you?" Hoseok's answer had the others smiling and chuckling as well, but my reaction was something else. My eyes grew wide in surprise as I stared at their smiling faces, which, as a matter of fact, was concealing a lot of...pain.

There were dark circles under their eyes. I guess they hadn't slept. And the wouldn't actually. Not in the next few months.

I nodded my head slowly, forcing a smile out of my own before gesturing them to come along. "Well, it's all good then. Come on, let's go."

"Go where?"

Are they serious?

I almost rolled my eyes at Taehyung's question before turning around to them again. "Where else? To Silverspoon obviously! Isn't today your some welcome party of something? Come on, I'll drive yo-"

"Woah woah hold on a second." Namjoon cut in, stepping forward and coming face to face with me as he looked at me with what I could only assume as confusion and...concern. "Why would you do all that now?"

Duh?

I stared at him like as if he he has grown two heads. What was he expecting me to say? That I was doing them a favour as a friend? No. I was doing my job.

But the more I looked at Namjoon and the others, the more my own expression changed from one of 'duh' to uncertainty. My mouth opened and closed, eyes darting from one face to another as if waiting for one of them to give Namjoon the obvious answer. No one did. They were all waiting for me.

So I told them.

"Because... I'm your manager. It's...my job. I'm supposed to." My answer came out more like a question. Fir some reason, even I wasn't sure anymore.

And the look that crossed their faces told me the answer.

They looked from one to another, some licking their lips while some clearing their throat as if discussing this topic was hard for them. But why? What's so much abo-

"Yoona, you are not our manager anymore." It was Yoongi this time. His voice was so calm and so quiet that I almost didn't hear him. But I did. And needless to say I was unsure of his answer.

I chuckled, staring from one face to another before turning to Yoongi again. "What are you talking about? I'm your sub manager. I'm -"

"You were our sub manager, Yoona. Not anymore." Yoongi emphasized, silencing me once and for all. When I made no reply, he continued. "Your contract with us ended the moment we ended ours. I thought you knew."

Oh. I didn't.

"So... I'm... jobless?"

I sounded like an idiot. I know they knew.

Yoongi shook his head. "No. You are still a HYBE employee. That's why you cannot come with us since you are not a part of Silverspoon. We will get a new manager, someone that works at Silverspoon. As for you,"

I looked up at Yoongi as he took a break, staring down at me with his cat like eyes before a single smile grazed his lips. "You will be promoted. You'll become a lead manager to some other group. Probably SEVENTEEN."

Oh...

Oh...okay.

There was nothing I could bring myself to say. Nothing whatsoever. Up until now, I had thought that I was going to be with them till the moment they died, but I guess I was wrong. My time with them was ending right here and then, and there was nothing I could do about it.

Cause that was the promise I made at the beach. That when the time would come, I would walk away without looking back, without feeling anything.

Then why was there a bagging feeling in my chest?

I swallowed the spit in my mouth as I stared at anything but them. Slowly I nodded my head to show I understood before I finally looked up at them with a tight smile.

"Well then, I guess this is goodbye."

The smiles that were in their faces slowly started disappearing as my words and the tone of my voice settled in them. I sounded very robotic.

Jungkook chuckled nervously. "Well, we could always stay as fr-"

"It was an honor working with you all." I cut in, showing them all but I couldn't care any less. Lowering half of my body in a respectful bow I could feel their eyes on me as I slowly raised up again, that tight smile still intact.

"Goodbye, BTS."

I hope we never cross paths again.

That was what I told myself. That was what I thought as I finally peeled myself from their shocked eyes and began walking inside the building. But for some reason, my heart yearned for something else.

Something I still didn't know.

I wanted something else. Something...more.
