SELF [JEON JUNGKOOK]

fifty seven [full]

"we're here you guys!" namjoon's mother stopped and parked the car in front of the airport. we all got out and the guys grabbed their luggage out of the back.

after he grabbed his luggage, jeongguk grabbed one of my hands and squeezed it, not letting go afterward.

i looked at him with sad eyes and gave him a small smile.

"please don't look at me like that.."

"sorry.."

he squeezed my hand once again. "it's gonna be okay.. we'll still be able to talk.. and it's only for a few months."

"what if you forget about me?"

jeongguk started laughing, but stopped when he saw the look on my face.

"oh my god, you're serious. why would i forget about you??"

"you are going to a new place and that means meeting new people and along the way you might find someone prettier, smarter, more loving, more caring, more amazing, and more-"

"can you give it a rest, already? i'm not gonna forget about you.. you mean so much to me, why would i even think of doing that?"

"every body says that, but when you're in the moment, sometimes you do things you don't mean to and-"

"i don't want to talk about this anymore, nari.."

"fine.. what time is the flight?"

"well, we're actually taking two flights. our manager said we're flying to new york from here, then to california from there."

"what time is your first flight?"

"well.. it's 9:45 right now and we don't board until 10:00, so we still have about 15 minutes left. not exactly sure what time our second flight is."

the boys put down their luggage and sat down to pass time until it was time for their flight. jeongguk took off his jacket and placed it down on his lap.

"i'm sorry. i didn't mean to sound rude.. we're gonna be far from each other and i don't want us to spend our last day together with you being mad at me, you know?" jeongguk ran his hands through his hair, then looked over at me, waiting for a response.

"it's alright.."

"are you sure?"

"yeah." i turned to him and gave him a small smile.

"i'm not gonna forget about you, you know."

"i thought you said you don't wanna talk about it anym-"

"if i don't talk about it, it is gonna seem like i am gonna forget about you. i don't want it to seem that way because forgetting you is the last thing i ever want to do, nari. i'm serious.."

"i know you're serious, jeongguk.. you don't have to explain yourself."

he grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers.

"hey, jeongguk?" jimin got out of his seat and walked toward us.

"what?"

"did you see me pack my yeezys?? i cant remember packing them and those are my lucky practice shoes!!"

"no, i didn't see you pack them. they were fake anyway so-"

"no they weren't!!"

the lighting from the overcast sky gave off a somewhat orange-ish glow in the room. i thought since jeongguk wasn't paying attention, it'd be a perfect photo opportunity. i took my phone out of my pocket, quickly snapped a picture, and slipped my phone back into my pocket.
