Angel's Fate (B1A4 & Beast)

Not Saying Goodbye

"I'm... leaving." His voice was sad as he said the two words.   

Your eyes popped out of your sockets with your mouth wide open. Your legs started wobbling. You were afraid that you wouldn't be able to hold yourself up, so you back tracked, somehow finding the couch, and sat down.

"L-Leaving? Where?" Your voice cracked a bit.   

Baro let out a heavy sigh before he took a seat on the floor in front of you. He could see a lot of sadness and confusion in your eyes which was hurting him even more. He took your hands in his and gave it a little squeeze before retelling you what happened in the office.   

[Flashback]   

Baro had arrived 3 minutes after the announcement came on that told him to come to the office. The atmosphere was tense as he sat down in one of the chairs provided. His foot tapped in an impatient manner. His eyes travel to the clock that was hung above the potted plant near the door.

Funny... just a few minutes ago you guys were surrounded by plants. He smiled at the thought and let his mind wander, making him even more anxious.   

Someone cleared their throat. He looked up to see an old man, maybe around his 60s, pursing his lip into a thin line. "You may go in now, Mr.Cha" He thought it was strange the way the man looked at him but waved it away. He ended up just nodding and following him into a medium size room.   

The office was still an unfamiliar territory for him since it was probably only his second time being inside it. The old man left through the door afterwards, only leaving him with the headmaster.

"Hello headmaster. What's the reason for calling me?" Baro ask curiously.   

She smiled slightly before pushing her chair out under her and stood up, suprising Baro. "There's someone on the line for you. I'll leave you alone to talk" She informed him, walked over, and closed the door behind her.   

The latter leaned over the desk and picked up the old fashion phone. An audible sound of someone breathing could be heard on the other side."Yeboseyo?"   

"How have things been?"   

"Dad?!" He recognized the husky low voice that matched his right away. A small chuckle emitted and he knew his dad was amused at the obvious question. "Things are fine here-- great actually."  

There was a small silence between the two but then his dad spoke again, "Good to hear son... Good to hear".   

"What is it appa?! You didn't just call to ask me how my school life is" Baro fidgited with the cord impatiently. He wanted his dad to finish whatever that he had to say since he wanted to get back to you as soon as possible.   

"I need you to come to Japan." His dad's voice turned serious, replacing the gentle tone. "It's not gonna be a permanent stay, only three months, tops!"  

"Wait... Did you just say THREE MONTHS?!" He interrupted his father. He pinched himself, hoping that this wasn't real and just a mere dream. But sadly, it left a dark red mark on his arm, hurting a lot.   

"I know you don't want to leave your friends behind and leave for 3 months but your aunt is in the hospital here." He explained, his voice a bit more urgent than before. Baro could picture his dad dealing with paperwork while his assistant is telling him about his busy schedule for the day.   

"Why is aunty at the hospital there instead of over here?"   

"I just don't have the time to come and go to check on her anymore so I just transferred her over to a hospital here."
