✏️one hundred and five✏️

Saturday. June 13, 2025.

Today is the day that everyone has been dreading. Yoongi is staring at himself in the mirror of his room. He blows out a breath and shakes his head. "It's just a few years, right? 4 tops. I got that." He tries to pep talk himself into surviving 1,461 days without Hoseok. He runs his fingers through his hair and sighs again.

"Geumjae, are you ready?" Yoongi shouts out. Geumjae came back from school just to see them off. "Uh, yeah." Geumjae says, hesitantly. "Let's go."

Meanwhile, Hoseok and Jiwoo are sitting on the couch that hasn't been moved because the movers are coming tomorrow. Everyone is meeting at their house to hang out for a while before they go to the bus station that will take them to the airport. "Can't believe this dumb day is here." Hoseok says and Jiwoo nods.

Jiwoo nods. She has been silent recently. She really doesn't want to go anymore. They are starting a new life somewhere that isn't their life now. Even though, the life they started here will still be here when they get back, Jiwoo can only feel guilty about taking them away from the life that they deserve.

"Jiwoo, you aren't still feeling guilty are you?" She nods a little. "Well, Geumjae is going be here soon so, turn that frown upside down." Hoseok smiles. Jiwoo shrugs again. "Yeah." She sadly smiles at her little brother.

Namjoon, Seokjin, Jimin, Tae, and Jungkook made it to the house. They all stood on the front porch taking before they noticed the time. The rest of the boys said their goodbyes and headed home while Yoongi, Hoseok, Geumjae, and Jiwoo go to the airport.

Hoseok and Yoongi rode together while Geumjae and Jiwoo rode together. Both car rides were very quiet, a lot to say but not sure how to say it.

Yoongi drove his car while Geumjae drove Jiwoo's car. Yoongi rest his hand on Hoseok knee. He has sunglasses covering his eyes and his black hair falls in front of his forehead. Hoseok looks out of the window with his hand resting on Yoongi's.

After a while of the silent car ride, the bus station becomes into view. Hoseok lets out a long sigh. Yoongi sadly smiles at the younger boy, squeezing his knee softly.

"I'm going to miss you a lot my love." Hoseok smiles at Yoongi. "I'm going to miss you too." Hoseok replies with a forced smile. "I guess it would be as good as any time to tell you that I have fallen more in love with you every single day since I first told you that I loved you. And I am only going to fall more in love as time goes on."

Hoseok looks at the older boy with a smile. "I love you so much. I don't think I can put into words or express the way I love you." Yoongi smiles.

Both cars pull into the bus station parking lot. Hoseok sighs and goes to grab his things out of the back of the car. Yoongi helps the younger boy, not feeling great mentally. He thought he was ready for this day to come but for some reason, it hurts more than he thought it would.

"You know, after all that preparing, I figured I would be ready for this day. It still sucks just as much." Yoongi speaks to his other half in a low voice. Hoseok shrugs. "Like I said, I'm at peace with it but it doesn't suck any less." Yoongi smiles and grabs his hand. "Come on my love. Don't want to miss your bus." Hoseok shrugs. "I wouldn't mind."

Even during this sad time, Hoseok still has to make a joke to make sure everyone isn't as sad. The group walks inside the building and get their bus tickets. They sit in the waiting area and begin to talk.
