The next day i went to school early to fill up some forms for transfering school and went back home straight. I spent the whole afternoon looking up for high schools with vacancies and emailed them, now all i have to do is to wait for a reply. Well i always score straight As for exams and i'm among the top 5% of the cohort, getting into a new high school shouldn't be tough.
" (y/n) ah I'm home! I brought eun ri along! " hoseok's voice travelled upstairs and startled me a little.
Wait. He what??
I walked downstairs and saw hoseok and eun ri walking into the living room, hand in hand.
" (y/n) ah, your house is so pretty! " eun ri said and started exloring the house and touching every single thing she sees. Goshh, now he's bringing his girlfriend over too? Isn't that abit too much? Urgh i hate it. Even though eun ri is my friend, i hated this feeling..

It has been a few days since i stopped going to school but hoseok didn't ask me why. It hurts tbh, to think that he probably don't even care. It has been a few days since the day hoseok brought eun ri to our house. And he continued to do so every day. They went from playing video games to watching netflix. They often had pillow fights and hoseok even brought her to our secret hideout where he usually practices his dance. It was a place only the both of us knew.. And these were the things we used to do every day and now i'm replaced by eun ri.. Everytime i would just stay in my bedroom because i couldn't stand seeing the guy i love so much being with another girl. A few times i would force myself to join them because eun ri keeps dragging me along.
Today isn'rt any different. Hoseok and eun ri were playing board games downstairs while i am packing my luggage. Oh did i tell you? I am moving back to my hometown Gwangju. I got accepted into one of the top schools in Gwangju and i've decided not to let this chance slip away. I have not told hoseok about this yet. I bet he doesn't care anyway haha.. I know i am going to miss everything here including hoseok, but it's time to move on. Ever since eun ri appeared, everything went wrong. All wrong. And i lost hoseok to her. Hoseok spends most of his time with eun ri and i was just someone he was living together with. It's over. And i should just leave them alone to do whatever they want. Don't get me wrong. I still love hoseok. It's just that i'm nothing else but a friend. Being a third wheel here is miserable enough, and i love him too..

I decided to cook dinner for hoseok for the last time before i leave. I made a table of scrumptious food. Just then Hoseok and eun ri came down just in time.
" You guys are just in time for dinner! i made a lot of delicious food! "
" Ohhh (y/n).. Sorry, we are catching a movie later and we decided to eat out. Enjoy your meal without us okay? Sorry. " hoseok said, apologetically.
" mianhae unnie! "
eun ri apologised too and the both of them left the house.
" It's..it's okay... "
I said to myself.
I sat down on the dining table alone and tears streamed down my cheeks.
I was going to miss my train, so i wiped away my tears and went back to my room for my luggage. I left the farewell letter i written earlier on my bed and left.
This is it.
Goodbye.

Hoseok's pov
I went out to catch a movie with eun ri awhile ago. But when i came home, (y/n) was gone. All she left was a letter..
" hoseok ah,
by the time you read this letter i would be on a train heading back to Gwangju. I wondered if you noticed i stopped going to school. Well that's because i transferred to a school in Gwangju. So i'm moving back. Sorry that i didn't tell you this earlier. You always seemed to be so busy and we didn't have a chance to sit down and have a proper talk. Study hard and last long with eun ri alright? When the time comes we'll meet again. Annyeong :) "
It all happened so suddenly. (y/n) left? No way.. Why haven't i noticed that she didn't attend school for days? Why haven't i noticed that she has been acting strangely these few days? It only dawned on me now that i have been neglecting (y/n) ever since i started dating eun ri. Now that she's gone, what am i going to do? Why do i feel so empty all of a sudden? Wait, why are my eyes sweating..? Are those tears?

It has been 3 weeks since i moved to Gwangju. My parents shifted house too and i followed them. I changed my phone number too after getting a new phone. I was adapting to new school quite well and made some great friends. Things were going quite well for me until Jessie called. ( she has my house number )Jessie was a classmate of mine back in Seoul and we still contact each other from time to time.
" THEY WHAT?!! " i screamed into the phone. Jessie told me that eun ri broke up with hoseok this morning. What?? I thought they were the most loving couple ever? What happened?! Worried, i took the train that night back to Seoul. I can't deny that i still love hoseok. To me hoseok is still my best friend and i was worried to death. When i went back to our house, it was empty. Hoseok has packed everything and left too. I asked the neighbours but they all said they don't know anything. I went to all the places we used to go to, even our hideout, but he wasn't there either. Even if i tried to call his phone number he was unreachable..
I broke down.
" hoseok where are you... *sniffs* "

Eun ri's pov
Ever since (y/n) left, things weren't going too well. I wanted to take revenge and make her suffer. I guess she can't take it and left Seoul. What a pity, the fun hasn't even begun. And hoseok hasn't been giving me much attention lately. He's getting boring. Oh i didn't like him anyway. But the boy from class 3 is quite hot. Totally my type. *smirk*

Hoseok's pov
It's been 3 weeks since (y/n) left. And guess what? Eun Ri broke up with me too. She left me for another guy. How could she do that..?
I was devastated.
I was upset.
I packed up and left Seoul.
Why? I'm all alone now. There's nothing left in Seoul and there's no reason for me to stay anymore.
I took a bus and decided to go wherever it takes me to.
I took out my mp3 and a song started to play
' I want to be solo, solo i'm alone, alone
I'm solo, solo starting from today i'm alone, alone
I want to be solo, solo i'm alone, alone
I'm solo, solo starting from today i'm alone, alone '
Dynamic Duo - Solo
I drifted into sleep after that and when i wake up, the driver told me this is the last stop. I got down the bus and it was the train station. Wow. I thought. I should just go back to find (y/n)...
So I bought tickets and sat the train back to Gwangju. I wonder if (y/n) would want to see me, as i've been such a bad friend. But i missed her. Yes i do. It feels weird without her around. Everything seems wrong..
I went to her house but she moved..
I called her but her number didn't exist..
" where are you (y/n)...? "
