TIME: Mark Tuan edition

Chapter 29

a/n college takes up most of my time. I use to have a schedule where Friday's are off but now I have classes.

I shall post this for Mark's birthday. I'm sorry it's rushed. I only had half of this typed out before today.

Happy 22nd Birthday Mark Yi-en Tuan! I'm pound of you. And I wish you the best!

And just like that it was time for them to leave. I wasn't able to see them off so I sent text messages to each of them.

'To Yugyeom: I'm so proud of you. Always be confident. I'm sorry I couldn't be at the airport with you guys, but I hope you all have a nice and safe flight. You've worked so hard and will continue to work hard. Make sure to take care of yourself and your hyungs. They need you more than you think. Keep them in line for me. I'll see you soon.'

'To BamBam: BamBam~ah I'll miss you until I get to see you again. I could tell you were starting to get sick so, make sure you rest when you can and drink a lot of water and vitamins. You've worked so hard and will continue to so you need to stay healthy. I'm sorry I can't see you off in person, but I hope this will pass for now. You guys have grown to be amazing people and I'm so proud of you guys. I'll see you soon.'

'To Youngjae: Youuunjaeee! Your voice is always superb so make sure you take care of it. You don't always reveal your crazy ways, but that's your charm. You always surprise us with what you'll do next. You've improved so much with your English and I'm so proud of you. I'm sorry I can't be there to say goodbye. I'm already regretting missing the opportunity, but there's nothing I can do. I'll see you soon.'

'To Junior: Jinyoung~ah! >.< I'm going to miss you! I'm so sad I couldn't come out and give you a nice bear hug. I promise to give you one the next time I see you. You've matured so much and I can see you've progressed well with singing, dancing, rapping, and even acting. I'm proud of course and I know you can do even better. You're always one to work hard and it's a quality that one can never looked passed. Stay strong and healthy. Keep me updated with everyone! I'll try and see you soon. Mwah!'

'To JB: Jaebum~ah... Thank you for keeping everyone together. You're an amazing leader that always works hard. Don't tire yourself out too much. Rest and let the others fool around sometimes. Remember that being short-tempered isn't always an answer to get thing done. The members look at you for guidance and can learn actions from you like a child. Be strong. I'll contact you guys soon. Maybe even try and see you guys. Thank you..'

'To Mark: .....first time I really wasn't able to say a proper goodbye to you. I'll miss you.... Stay healthy and strong. I don't need to be hearing that your somewhere all the way across the world sick and unable to perform. You're finally showing yourself to the world. I'm happy you are yet I'm kinda sad about it. You're showing sides you've only showed those close to you and some sides only I've seen and I guess I'm getting jealous. It's funny. The thought of me actually getting jealous of something like that. Hm.. Don't forget to message me when you land. Be safe.... You're the hyung, so make sure to not always fool around with everyone. Help JB keep them in line sometimes and don't always just keep quiet.... I guess all I can do now is wait till I see you again to get that hug...bye, Mark.'

I stare at the last message as I watch it being sent and delivered. I feel weird being unable to properly say goodbye and it shouldn't bother me as much as it does.

I pursed my lips and decided to not ponder on it for long as I had to prep for my radio show on site. Today I'll be able to interview Eric Nam who is here for KCON. I dress nicely in distressed denim shorts and denim button up. Before leaving the house with Miguel I pull on a white coat.
