[a week later 2:42am]

"When's my flight, again?" Jimin talked on to the phone with his PD-nim. "In one hour!?" he said panicking. He wasn't done packing, nor was ready to leave emotionally.

He knew he was going to miss Eunjae. He knew he wasn't going to have time to talk to her. He knew that he can't spend his time with her like they would normally do. He knew he didn't want to leave her. He knew once he became an idol he couldn't make contact with any girl.

A memory flew into Jimin's mind.

"You know you have to forget about the girl, right? You're going to be an idol soon. You need to focus on your fans. Long Distance Dating is not an option."

Should he really become an idol?

They've met again, but now he has to move away. He had a deep gut feeling that this wasn't right. What hurt him the most was that she was smiling through all of it. She, Eunjae, was a person so dear to him. Not just any person, his girlfriend.

If he had seen her face one more time, he would have stayed. He couldn't face her because then he will only miss her more.

He started to quickly pack up with tears in eyes. He then heard the Kakoa Talk nonifications going through his phone.

"cloudyjae: are you leaving already?"

"cloudyjae: i'm heading over there."

He zipped up his luggage and wiped his tears. Since Jimin was also leaving his family, he shared his fairwells and assured them he'll visit. He exited out of his house. He looked at the time and he 30 minutes left. He called for a cab and drove off the airport.

The minutes ticked down.

The longer he looked at the time, the time passed slowly. He wanted those minutes to last.

Again Kakao Talk started to go off again.

"cloudyjae: where are you?"

"cloudyjae: are you gone?"

"cloudyjae: why aren't you answering?"

He ignored all his messages and headed straight to his flight. "Jimin, where are you!?" a familiar voice to Jimin's ears have yelled.
"PARK JIMIN!"

He avoided her. "Jimin, it's time to go," his PD-min found him. He entered his gate and went through all the security checks.

As he was walking through the gates, someone suddenly stop him. Jimin froze as Eunjae gave him a back hug. "Yah, you idiot. I was looking for you. I thought you left already without saying a goodbye. You're a bad boyfriend," Eunjae started cry.

Jimin, on the other hand, was emotionless. His eyes turned red but no tears were shed. "Jimin, let's go."

"Goodbye," Jimin said while trying to hold back everything.

Eunjae, finally let Jimin out of her grasp. "I love you," she whispered to Jimin.

Jimin didn't reply. His goal was to only reach his flight.

"He just walked away," Eunjae whispered to herself. "That was the first time, I'd ever said 'I love you' first. And he didn't respond."

Meanwhile Jimin was on already in flight. He looked down at the airport with his hand on the window. He finally whispered those words.

"I love you, too."
