Jimin sits patiently beside y/n as she stares down at the envelope addressed to her. It was a letter from the study abroad program she had applied to on a whim over the summer, something she had done merely out of curiosity rather seriously thinking she'd get in. Jimin toed the line of wanting her to get in but also wanting her to remain beside him through the upcoming school term. Things felt like they were just going back to normal.
"What would you do if you got in?" Lei asks as she sits opposite of him and y/n.
Y/n offers a small shrug. "I don't know. Maybe decline the offer?" She asks in a small voice, as if looking for any semblance of approval from him and Lei.
Jimin sighs. "But is that what you really want?"
Another shrug. "I just want things to not feel so shaky." She replies while running a finger over the envelope.
Lei rolls her eyes as she snags the envelope, ripping open the flap, and pulling out the letter folded inside of it. Her eyes scan over it before a small gasp falls from her lips. "Shit just got real." Lei says as she hands the letter over to y/n.
Y/n looks as if she had been holding her breath as she reads through the letter, her eyes widening while doing so. "Holy shit." She breathes out.
Jimin waits in anticipation, his nerves feeling like they're spiking from the build-up. "So, did you get in?" He asks, though he's pretty certain he knows what it says.
"Looks like I'll be starting the program this fall." Y/n replies in a whispered voice.
Jimin forces a smile on his face. He is happy for her, but that just means they'll be apart from one another come fall.
Y/n's eyes meet his and he does his best to show his support for this new and amazing opportunity she's been offered, but it just feels like the universe is working against them. Again.
"This is a good thing." Jimin reminds her, holding his smile in place.
"But that means I'll be away from you." Y/n murmurs back.
Jimin's smile falters by a fraction, but he doesn't let it fall from his face completely. "We'll talk everyday. And we'll stay in touch. And if I can, I'll come to visit you. This–it can work out." He assures her. Even as he says the words out loud, he knows it'll be tough on them, especially since they had just found their way back to one another.
"Okay, I'm here too!" Lei cuts in, attempting to bring some levity to the atmosphere. "I think you should be missing me more than him." She goes on to say jokingly.
Y/n breathes out a laugh as she folds the letter back up and slips it into the envelope. "Of course I'll miss you, Lei." She says while tucking the envelope away. Glancing at Jimin, y/n adds, "Wanna join me for a walk?"
Jimin nods, unable to find his voice that was buried beneath a mountain of conflicting emotions. Lei spares the couple a knowing look as she pulls out her phone, scrolling through it before plugging her ears with her earbuds to listen to music. Jimin was thankful for Lei's ability to lighten the mood.
