Jaebum ran out of the house and literally slammed the gate open,causing a loud commotion that caused Hyun to stop in her tracks and look back. He walked up to her,a solemn vibe radiating from his body. Hyun knew what he was about to say.

"Is this necessary?"he asked.

"Quitting the job,yes. I can't babysit when I'm out of the country."she replied.

"You know that I'm not talking about that."he said,his tone making it sound like some sort of a warning/threat.

"Then you should know my answer because it hasn't changed. I don't want to drag you down."

"You are NOT dragging me down. What part of that do you not understand?"

"You know what? Since you can't let go,I'll just tell you the truth."Hyun put on a forced smirk,even though she was just slapping herself inwardly. "I just don't want YOU to drag ME down. That's right. You're a burden to me. I don't want to keep making an effort to keep the relationship afloat when I'll be so busy. I'll probably meet someone else there and date him."she shrugged it off,pretending to play it off cooly.

"So what,now you're telling lies so that I'll let go? I can see right through you."

"No,you can't. I'm revealing my true colours. The only reason why I approached you was because of your money. Remember how I always said money makes the world go around. Well,you are loaded. But now that I am even richer,I don't need a cashcow like you."

"Stop lying."Jaebum growled,grabbing Hyun by the wrist tightly.

"I'm not lying."she lied. How ironic. "You know it's true. You know how much I crave for money. I'm sorry but I'm not going to give up what I've been longing for ever since I was young just because of a relationship that doesn't mean much. I want to be free from my father now and if I want to be free and still have my own money,I have to be at the top where I control everyone. I won't let something else control me."she spat and removed his hand roughly before turning around,heaving a huge sigh of relief that she didn't stutter because it would totally give away that she was lying not only to Jaebum,but to herself.

"Just let me leave with the good memories of us."she whispered to herself,grabbing her shirt in mental agony.

Hyun's POV

I've never been to the airport because I never had the luxury of travelling and today,the first time I step into this place and the first time I ride an aeroplane,I feel reluctant.

"You sure you didn't miss anything?"I asked Hyuk in which he replied with a nod. It was hard for Hyuk to say goodbye to his friends to but at least,they still have promises to videochat and text everyday whereas I,cold-heartedly pushed Jaebum away which is why I totally understand that he's angry with me now. If someone said those nasty things I said to him,I would be furious too.

"Hyun!"someone screamed my name and I looked back before smiling.

BTS and GOT7 had come,with the exception of Jaebum.

"Thank gawd,I thought we were late."Taehyung panted before smiling at me adorably.

"I can't believe I'm saying this but I think I'll miss you just a little,emo girl."

"Call me that one more time and I'll punch your face."I threatened,raising my fist in the air. Hyuk's friends had arrived and they went off first to chat.

"Let's text everyday. If you need anything,I'll fly straight over."Yoongi said and I chuckled. Mark nodded his head in agreement. "I'll make a group chat now. Text everyday there."Mark added on.

"Of course,I'll miss you guys so much."I said and hugged both of them.

The maknae line of BTS jumped on me,attacking me with hugs except for Jungkook,who was living the thug life. (a/n:omg wtf haha.) Jinyoung stepped forward and offered a handshake. I took his head gladly. "I think I'll miss you too...water enthusiast."

"Shut up,babysitter."he rolled his eyes although still grinning. "But I think the same. By the way,did anything happen between you and Jaebum? He was texting me about how happy he was when y'all got together but he totally avoided coming here."

"We broke off."I stated. "No questions please. It was my fault,I initiated it."

"Why? After so much-"

"He's suffered enough."I cut his words off, before patting his shoulder. "I've hurt him enough. If you have the time,could you drop by his house and comfort him or something? Maybe bring him out and introduce him to new girls? Better...girls?"

"You know Jaebum wouldn't do that so quickly."he gave me the '-_-' face. "I'm sure he has a reason for not coming. Don't be angry at him."

"What right do I have to be angry at him?"I shrugged,trying to laugh it off.

"It's about time. I'll miss you guys. Bye!"I announced and everyone shouted things like 'we'll miss you too' or 'visit soon!'. These words were comforting me and I never knew that I would be able to make precious friends like them. But their words could never compare to someone else's.

No regrets. That's what I tell myself. Hopefully,just hopefully,when I return,I'll be able to see Jaebum happy.
