Two weeks later

"What do you mean it's... far?"

"I mean it's across the globe, Lix. But don't worry, we can still talk everyday."

"You applied for a school in another country without telling me?"

"I didn't even know if I was gonna accepted, but I guess I did, so I figured I should tell you." Hyunjin tried to defend himself, but it was useless. He had kept this secret in since his birthday, and that was two weeks ago.

"You should've at least told me, Hyun. Now I only have two months left with you and have to prepare myself to not see you for four years." Felix stared down at their holding hands, his mind becoming a whirlpool of worry.
Hyunjin stayed quiet, realizing that he should've told Felix the moment he applied for a school so far away. They stood atop the roof of the abandoned building they had shared secrets, kisses, and tears with together. Ever since the night of the art exhibition, they had made this their "spot".

"I thought you wanted to go to the Art Academy that was here, in Seoul." Felix spoke up after seconds of silence, retorting what Hyunjin had talked about nearly two months ago.

"I.. I did, but that was if I didn't go abroad. This school is going to give me the opportunity to take my art even further and succeed with it. Once I come back, we'll have so much more than we already do and be even happier than we already are!" Hyunjin was trying to seem excited, as Felix was showing zero signs of joy. He knew this would be heavy on him, it was heavy on himself as well, so he understood that it may take a while to fully process.

"Where even are you going? How do you know you'll accustom there?" Felix asked, to say he was worried would be an understatement of all the frantic thoughts swarming him.

"It.. it's in Italy." Hyunjin lowly stated, the realization of the extremity of this situation hitting him continuously. Felix let out a breathy scoff, as if he had just been left heartbroken, at the information that completely altered the situation.

"Hyunjin, Korea is eight hours ahead of Italy. I'll be done with school by the time you even wake up."

"We can find time to talk to each other, okay? I promise, I will never allow myself to lose you— I've already nearly done it twice." Hyunjin had to admit, he was also very nervous about the situation and anticipated what all the outcomes could possibly be.

"What if... what if you find someone.. new?" Felix timidly, but sadly asked, making Hyunjin smile slightly.

"I'll tell you one thing, and it's that I will never find someone that is equivalent to you, Felix. No matter what happens, there will never be someone after you." He said and kissed the shorter on his head, making him let the smallest of smiles show.

"I'm nervous, Hyun." Felix placed his forehead on the taller's shoulder, sighing heavily. Hyunjin reciprocated and raked a hand through the brunette's hair.
"Don't be, my love. We'll be alright." He whispered.

"Four years... that's a really long time." The other continued to protest.

"But we love each other, so a couple of miles shouldn't stand in our way. And we can visit each other too."
