It was the moment you feared the moment.

The day when you'd say goodbye.

There would be chances to meet again. But it was chances, after all.

Inside the car, Taekwoon, the one whom you loved for the past few months, decided to take you for a long drive.

You didn't know where you were going, or what he had in mind. Was he as sad as you were?

You could read what was in his mind. Taekwoon rarely showed any emotions on his face. You wondered if you really meant something to him, like he meant the world to you.

You looked down at your intertwining fingers with his slender long ones. Something inside of you told you to believe in him. If he'd not had really cared he wouldn't have taken you to this long drive.

However, it drove you crazy that he hadn't said anything. He even ignored you for a week after you told him.

"Leo." You called his name, testing him. Wanted to know if he would respond or not.

He didn't.

Your breath heaved and you felt the lump at the back of your throat. Your eyes started to blur. You bit your lips to avoid crying in the car. Why wouldn't he understand you?

"Don't stay silent please." Your voice betrayed you, cracked. Your lips were quivering, you pressed them in a thin line to stop them moving. After taking a deep breath, you continued. "Till the end I never know your feelings towards me. What am I to you?"

Taekwoon hands tightened on yours and you didn't know what that was supposed to mean.

"Just wait a little bit longer." He said, not glancing at you even once. He was so focused on driving. "We are almost there."

You opened the window beside you, putting your head out. Your arm stretched behind you still holding on Taekwoon's hands never wanted to let go.

The strong wind that slapped your face, muffled your cry as tears spilled down your eyes. You didn't want Taekwoon to notice that you were crying hard so you tried as hard as you could, not to make a sound and just let go of your tears.

~~

Upon reaching the destination, you found yourself on a cliff. You could see the whole city glowing from this spot. You gasped in awe of the few. You never knew there was a place like this out there.

Getting out of the car, you walked a little closer to the cliff and memorized the awesomeness of the view. It was so beautiful with the city lights glowing like stars.

Being absorbed with the view, you didn't notice Taekwoon coming behind you. Your breath hitched when you felt his arms wrapping around you in a back hug. His arms crisscrossing around you in a warm hug, making you forget the coldness of the autumn.

Leaning his chin on your shoulder, Taekwoon inhaled your sent, sending chills down your arms. "I wanted you to see this." He said in your ears.

At that moment, the thought of missing Taekwoon crossed your mind. You were going to miss him so badly. His cold expression, his shy smile, his sweet voice, his well-toned body, his slender long fingers, his breath on your skin. You were going to miss every single part of him, every single action he had done, every single smile he had shown.

You welled up with tears once again and being in Taekwoon's arms. You couldn't take any more of this, you broke down crying. Taekwoon's arms tightened around you lovingly. His hand reached your head to pat it softly, in a hope that you would stop crying.

"Hey, I don't like it when you cry." Taekwoon said, turning you around to look at him. He kept you on an arm length so he could see you clearly.

Locking eyes with Taekwoon, you wondered why he hadn't said anything about you leaving. "Leo."

"Hmm..."

"Why won't say anything about it? It feels like you don't care." You finally confessed what you truly feel. The anxiety that you had while he was away. You finally spoke it out. "Why won't you stop me? Do I mean nothing to you?"

"Then don't go." Leo said, his hands dropped from your shoulder. His expression became colder than normal. Every muscle in his face hardened. "Don't leave."

"What?" You actually were surprised.

"You mean everything to me. Do you think it is easy to let go of you? Have you ever understood by feelings toward you? You suddenly came to me and told me that you were leaving, how I'm supposed to react. But honestly, I don't want you to go anywhere."

You stood stunned in your place. You never imagined to hear that from Taekwoon, himself.

"You can't do that, right?" a smirk showed on his face, along with an expression you had never seen before. It was as if Taekwoon was in a deep pain, but he kept it all to himself. "I know you can't. That's why I don't say anything. I can't stop you."

"At least you could have shown you cared."

Taekwoon smiled sadly, shaking his head. "It won't make any difference. At the end you would leave, which is so painful."

You fell to the ground, realizing that everything Taekwoon had said was true. It would happen anyway, your separation. You wished you had never loved him that much. It would have been easier to say goodbye.

Dropping next to you, Taekwoon buried his face in his hands. Tears sliding down his cheeks. Looking at him, you wrapped your arms around his shoulder and he leant towards you. You held him in your arms.

The both of you sat like that for god knows how long, with your arms wrapped around each other. You cheek was pressed on Taekwoon's chest, hearing his heart beats. Both your tears dried a long time ago.

The sky started to brighten up and the city lights went off. It was the morning, already.

It was time to leave.

You tilted your head up to look at Taekwoon, you were surprised to find him staring back at you.

His eyes said that he loved you too much.

Your eyes said that you were sorry and that you loved him too. Way more.

Without words, you knew it. He leant down and you tilted your head up more, until your lips met in tender kisses, moving in lovely sync as if the two of you were meant to be.

Behind every kiss there were many promises.

"I will always love you."

"We will meet again for sure."

"It's only a temporary goodbye."

"I'm yours. And only yours."
