"i'm leaving during winter vacation to australia."

leaving... jake was leaving. he was... leaving? how could this be happening? when was it decided? why wasn't he told?

since jake received no verbal answer, he continued with the explanation.

"the program sent me an email in early september, asking if i was still willing to go. a spot had opened up because someone wanted out and that's where i come in.

my parents were too happy and i was finally getting a chance to do what i always dreamed of. but i was torn, i didn't want to have to leave..." jake was looking directly into the taller's eyes. he wanted to make sure that he had zero chances of anything here so he could move on.

when heeseung finally responded though, it was not at all what he was expecting.

"then don't leave..." heeseung pleaded with hurt in his expression and a lot of confusion in his heart.

"w-what?" jake questioned actually taken aback.

"i know i haven't been the best friend to you lately, but i can't bare to... even just imagine what being without you would be like."

jake was really looking into heeseung's eyes now. maybe he had become so distant that he couldn't anymore decipher what heeseung was thinking only by looking at him, but he could have sworn his reaction was going to be a very different one.

"but i thought... i thought you'd be overjoyed by this. you helped me fill the application. i don't understand..." jake said searching for something familiar.

"i... i don't know... i just don't want you to go..." heeseung kept repeating.

"i can't stay, hee. i can't let this opportunity pass me by. i have to go... i need to," jake stated.

heeseung knew jake set his mind on something and there was no turning back, even though he didn't know jake just needed one push to stay. sadly, it was something heeseung definitely couldn't say in this moment, because he wasn't aware of it yet.

jake was sure of this.

"how long will you be gone? four months? six?" heeseung asked, now him being teary eyed.

jake's heart tightened at heeseung's search for something good in all of this.

"it's a year for starters. can be more if i keep a good score up until i finish high school..." jake explained.

heeseung felt his world fall down.

what was he going to do now?

he started looking around like someone was gonna pop up from a bush and scream "gotcha! secret camera!"

he wished that happened. he wished something happened that made all of jake's confessions be a joke. but these thoughts also hurt his own heart. heeseung was now torn, just how jake had been the past months.

so heeseung understood why jake needed to go.

there really was nothing he could do now.
