My bags are packed, my mind set and I told Taesan goodbye. My train leaves at 5pm, but my mind is racing. Never ever have I been this close to debuting. And I'll make the most out of it.

Seunghan and I haven't texted much in a while

me
I'm back Seoul later, lmk if you're free :)))

Not much later he answered

Hannie
No way you got accepted¿ 9-9
I'll treat you to ur fav

He's still the same though.
My mom doesn't seem affected by me leaving. But it's not like we spend a lot of time together. I'm sad about leaving school without getting good grades. But I'm even more sad that taesan will hang out with the wrong people again.

My mom is driving me to the train station.
I rang at taesans door. But his mother opened, "he's not here" was all I heard. So I bid them goodbye. I'm just glad she's back, but where could Taesan possibly be?

My mother could only drive me though. And my train delayed by 15 minutes. So I have to stand here alone.

"JIA" I hear my name shouted.
I turn around to meet Taesan. His eyes worried and his breathing uneven. He must've ran here.

"Taesan?" I ask confused
He walks towards me, his hair is messy
"I wanted to say goodbye" he pants.
I leave my suitcase there and run into his arms. Hugging him for the last time.

"You weren't home, I wanted to say goddbye too" I tell him, tears filling my eyes.

"I thought your train leaves at 4pm, I was on my way here, but I barely made it on time" he laughs. And I can find a glimpse of the Taesan I love. The funny, smart, sarcastic and lovely taesan. But of course, I would never tell him that. And maybe I do truly love him. But I have to focus on my future for now.

"You better take care of yourself" he whispers, still not letting go. And my legs are starting to hurt from standing on my tiptoes. "You better get good grades, and don't forget about me".

My tears fell down "I could never forget about you. Just wait a bit longer. You'll see me again taesan" even if it's on a billboard. I finally let go.
My train arrives.
"So this is it" he steps back.
"It was nice with you Jia, you changed Me"
Taesan confesses.
"Try your best yeah? I know you can quit smoking. And you're smarter than you think" I tell him.
"I decided I'll officially quit," he smiles.
"If that makes you happy"

"I need to go now taesan" I tell him, smiling halfway.
"Wait" he shouts and walks to me.
He grabs my shoulders and closes the gap between us. Giving me one last kiss.

After letting go he turns me around
"You should go now" I take my suitcase and step inside the train.
The door closes, but I could see taesan crying from the window. I wave one last time. With the biggest smile on my face.

But he doesn't know how hard I cried after the train started moving.

Guys
Seunghan officially left riize, I'm heartbroken :(
