"Thank you for letting me stay with you" I pulled my friend into a hug. 

"It's okay. I'm glad you showed up" she smiled, "I'm going to miss you Rihanna" 

"I will miss you too Hwa Young, I'll never forget your kindness" I said, returning her smile. 

Hwa Young had been one of the closest friends I made in Korea during my time staying there. She helped me settle into the new country and surroundings and I always knew that she was only one call away. I hadn't seen her in a while since everything started kicking off, but she had been one of the only people that stayed loyal to me and I was beyond grateful for that. I owed her a lot and the least I could do was come and spend some time with her before I left. She had been like a sister to me, and she listened to everything I had to say with patience and understanding. Even when I turned up at her doorstep, sobbing after saying goodbye to Jimin, she welcomed me with open arms and managed to calm me down. Her soothing words had helped dull the pain but it was still there. The empty feeling of Jimin's presence would always be with me. 

"And Rihanna?" 

"Yeah?" I turned back around to face her. 

"I will keep an eye on him" she winked at me. 

I let out a soft laugh, "thank you" 

Saying goodbye is never the easiest thing to do. But you know the people that you are saying goodbye to were worth it because they were the ones that stayed with you until the very end. 

I waved as I stepped into the taxi, handing the driver my luggage. I felt better for spending some time with Hwa Young but I still felt like there was something I needed to do. Pulling out my phone I hastily typed in my pass code and clicked onto my contacts. Scrolling down until I reached Jin's, I pressed call and waited for him to pick up. 

"Hello?" his voice made a smile tug at my lips. 

"Hi Jin" I replied, hands fumbling in my lap. 

"Rihanna?!" he sounded shocked. 

"Hey" I laughed. 

"Where are you?" he asked, a desperate tone in his voice. 

Sadness washed over me once again. 

"I am going to the airport" 

I heard him take in a sharp breath. 

"Jimin mentioned that" he sighed. 

"I just wanted to say goodbye" once again the bitter-sweet word left my mouth.

Goodbye 

"Stay safe Rihanna" he couldn't bring himself to say it back. 

"I will. Tell the other boys that I am going to miss them" I added. 

"Yeah. We are going to miss you too" Jin hesitated,
