The hum of the car’s engine filled the silence, blending with the soft rustling of wind outside. Taehyung stared out the window, watching the familiar streets of his hometown blur past. The roads he had walked countless times, the cafes he had spent hours in, and the faces of people who were part of his daily life—they all became fleeting images in the rearview mirror, disappearing one by one..... He is leaving them all.
His dad is driving the car. Taehyung noticed the worry etched on his father’s face, though neither of them said a word.
As the familiar scenery slipped away, Taehyung clenched his fists in his lap, trying to hold himself together.
"I have to go," he thought, his chest tightening with the weight of it. "If I stay... everything will fall apart. I can’t do that to him, to anyone." The thought of Jungkook’s face flashed through his mind, and Taehyung closed his eyes, feeling the sting of unshed tears.
He knows it's necessary for the future and happiness for the people he loves... Too much.
This love, he decided, would remain a secret—a love kept safe and untouched in the quiet corners of his heart, where it could stay beautiful and pure. A love he would carry with him, always, but one that would never be shared.
He took a deep breath, searching for comfort in the thought. The road ahead was unknown and unfamiliar, but it was the path he had chosen. As hard as it was, he would face it alone, carrying the love that no one else would ever know.

"Take care of yourself..... " Namjoon's voice trembled slightly as he watched Taehyung take two steps forward.
"Call me whenever you need... Don't ever hesitate... "Namjoon added, his tone strained, as though holding back a wave of emotions.
Taehyung sniffed without looking back. He keep on walking.
" Call me once you reach... "Namjoon's words cracked, his heart aching as he watched his son walk away.
Taehyung only nodded, blinking away the tears that threatened to fall, determined to keep moving forward.
The journey from the airport to the plane and then landing into a unknown land with unknown faces, surroundings everything seems so blur.
He couldn't even pay attention to the person approached him, showed him his id and escorted him to an unknown place.. The place where he is going to live from now on.
The apartment was spacious, filled with everything he could possibly need. As the man explained the details, Taehyung’s eyes wandered, scanning the neatly arranged furniture, the quiet walls, the empty corners. His mind was elsewhere, though he forced himself to listen.
"Your university is a fifteen-minute walk from here, or there's a bus stand a little farther. You can also consider that," the man said, his voice is professional and polite.
