-Jin's POV-
Tae sits both of us down on a near by bench after ending the phone call, running his hand through his hair and looking up to the light clouds above us. I watch his face carefully, scared towards why he was acting like this, it truly worried me.

After about a minute of silence, us just sitting together, lost in our own thoughts, Tae sighs and puts his elbows on his knees. He leans forward and puts his head in his hands, covering his face as he begins to speak.

"That was my aunt... She said that my grandfather, who lives in America, is on his deathbed. I have gone to visit him every year, and have grown to be his pride because I am his only grandson... She said that he has requested me to go to America and stay with him till he dies."

I blink a few times and take in a few silent, deep breaths. He has to leave? I turn to him and take a gentle hold on his wrist, trying to pull his hands away from his face and look at me. "Hey, this isn't the end. We can get through it right? It shouldn't take too long..."

He sits back up, only to quickly embrace me and bury his head into my chest. I lean my head on his and close my eyes. "Maybe... I can come with you, so we won't have to be apart."

He catches a deep breath and I feel his hot exhale on my chest, through my shirt. "I think we can barely afford for me to go, Jin. I don't know if that's realistic." I open my eyes and look at the large tree to the side of us.

"It shouldn't be for too long anyways..." I hear him mutter before he buries his head deeper into my chest, his breathing becoming slightly uneven. I could tell he's having a hard time keeping it together.

We don't know how long it could take, I could take months... What if it took a whole year? Looking at the tree, I remember something Tae said about it after the whole Namjoon incident.

'You see this tree? It's been in this garden for over fifty years, my mother told me so. It was planted here, and it grew, into what it is now. When the city wanted to make space for new buildings, they wanted to tear it down.'

'People fought it, and didn't want the garden to go, because it was the beautiful, quiet spot of the town. The city hired people to take the garden out, and taking the tree out was the first thing on the list.'

'They pulled and pulled, but the tree wouldn't budge. They were going to cut it up, then dig it out, but the tree was too much of a hassle, and the protesters continued. The city decided to stop.'

'The tree couldn't be pulled it moved, because it's roots were too strong, and too deep. Our love couldn't be torn, no matter what, because our bond is too deep.'

'SeokJin, look at me. I will never leave you, no matter what. I love you, and always will. No one can tear our roots from the ground, for they are far too strong and far too deep. I will never leave you, SeokJin.'

I pull his shoulders up and make him look at me. "We will work overtime, both of us, and get the money. We can go together, Taehyung. You can't leave me, remember, you promised."

He looks me in the eye and puts both of his hands on either side of my face, pulling me in for a deep kiss. It was sweet and meaningful, but hot. His hands wrapped around my neck and tangled in the back or my hair as my fingers wrapped around the tufts of his.

We pull apart and breath heavily, leaning out foreheads against each other. Tae smiles and I feel a smile grow on my own face. He jumps up and pulls me up with him, and hand in hand run back to the house in laughter.

We get to the apartment and I swing my arms around Tae as he digs into his pocket for the keys. I pull his lips to mine in a deep kiss and I feel his smile against my lips as he continues to fumble for the keys, pushing my back up against the door.

He finally gets the key into the lock and we burst into the apartment, making sure to close and lock the door behind him. I breath heavily as I wait for Tae to finish locking the door, till he turns to me and grabs my hand, pulling me to the bedroom.

I'm going to stop it here for this chapter, because I know there are many readers who don't want to read smut.

BUT the next chapter is a smut (continuation of this), separate from the other chapters because I also know that many of my loyal readers do want to read the smut and I feel I owe it to them. : 3 Well let's hope my first ever smut goes well.
