Alex's pov

"So...it's a beautiful day outside, right?"

Actually, it's not. Not weather wise at least. For the last six months, I've been trying to forget that this day would eventually come. Jun's leaving today. 

It all sounds so unreal right now.

And I guess the worst part is the waiting. 

Currently, me and Minghao are waiting for Jun to load his luggage. Minghao decided that it was better if I came with them to the airport, probably because he knows I wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything else for the rest of the day. He's been trying to defuse the awful tension too, but so far no luck. 

We both didn't know what to say. I mean, what are we supposed to say at this point? I appreciate what Minghao is trying to do but I was way too wrapped around my own thoughts.

Jun came out shortly after.

"Why the long faces? It's not like I'm going to die, you know?"

"I'm not sad 'cause you're leaving. I can never get rid of you! Even when I move to a new country, you always manage to come after me!"

"Wow, thanks, Minghao. I'm gonna miss you too. Especially, your very heartwarming words." Jun turned his head to face me. "Alex?"

"Hmm?"

"You okay?"

"Just peachy."

"So...Minghao, don't you need to go to the bathroom?"

"No, I'm good!"

Since Minghao didn't get the hint, Jun tried to discreetly (not so much) gesture towards me

Since Minghao didn't get the hint, Jun tried to discreetly (not so much) gesture towards me. Minghao didn't seem to that understand either, forcing Jun to mumble something in Mandarin to him. 

"Oh!...yeah, I need to go to the bathroom. And then get some coffee. Maybe some snacks. You know, just trying to get to know the Korean airport in general...I'll catch up with you guys later."  he proceeded to make his way awkwardly away from us.

Once he was far enough, Jun spoke.

"So...wanna find a place to sit while Minghao does some sightseeing?"

"...Yeah sure."

We found a bench near the airport entrance that seemed nice enough to sit while we 'waited' for Minghao. Again, the awkward silence surrounded us. I just didn't know what to say to him. So it was up to him once again to break the silence.

"Alex...please don't be sad."

"I can't help it. I'm sorry."

"I know, and you don't have to apologize if it was the other way around I would react the same way. But, it's not like I'm going to disappear forever? You said you didn't want me out of your life, remember?"
