I rolled over in my bed and snatched my phone off of my nightstand. I threw it up to my ear and rubbed my eyes.

"Hello?" I groaned.

"JiSu?"

"Mom? Why're you calling me?"

"Sweetie, I'm sorry to do this, but we moved your flight up to this week." I quickly sat up in my bed.

"What? Why?"

"I've been worried about you. It seems like there is going to be some serious weather coming in soon. I don't want you to get stuck there. Especially when you know grandpa is not in good health these days."

"But mom, I'd been waiting to go on this trip for a year."

"I know, but don't you want what's best for the family?"

"But-"

"No buts, I need you home by next week. You're brother has an important event coming up anyway. So it's best you get home as soon as possible."

After a bit more talking we eventually hung up the phone. I only had a week left here and I just wasn't sure how to tell anyone. I walked to the bathroom basically dragging my legs behind me. I just wasn't ready to leave yet. I hadn't even thought about Namjoon. Would we even be able to see each other. I know we both live in Korea, but...

My head whipped towards my door as the doorbell rang. I threw on a sweatshirt and walked downstairs. Upon opening the door, Namjoon appeared with flowers in his hand.

"Good morning beautiful." I smiled weakly. How could I tell him.

"Good morning Namjoon." I moved towards the side of the door so he could enter. He headed towards the kitchen counter and placed the flowers in a vase.

"What are the plans for today?" I asked walking towards him.

"The press has been on my butt lately. I'm surprised they didn't catch me coming here. I thinking we're gonna have to stay in tonight."

"That works for me, I think Jae is gonna be home late anyways. She's doing extra work to get out of the class earlier."

"Okay, I have to talk to you about someting anyway." He said putting his head down.

"What do you mean?" I sat next to him and put my hand on his knee.

"Well, our break is coming to an end and our producer wants us back in Korea by either the end of this week or early next week." I could see the frown on his face.

"That's okay. We can just hangout for the rest of the week."

"That's the other thing," He said, "they want us at home packing and preparing to leave. Tomorrow is the last day I can see you."

"Oh..." There was silence. Neither of us knew what to say to one another.

The silence was long and awkward. We both wanted to say something, but we just didn't know what to say. I wanted to have more time with him, but I know I won't be able to. What if when we go back to Korea, we aren't allowed to see each other anymore because of the paparazzi.

"We'll be able to see each other in Korea, won't we?" I finally said trying to break the silence.

"I'm hoping, but with certain stalker fans, I'm not sure we can get away with hanging out like we do here."

"Oh.." I said sadly. I was unsure of what to do. I shouldn't have gotten myself into this mess in the first place.

We ended up turning on a movie and barely talked for the next hour. I wanted to be with him, but he deserves someone way better than plain old me. I mean, think about it, he's a pop star.

"SuNi, I'm sorry." He said quietly. I looked over at him. He had his head down and seemed like he was contemplating something.

"For what?" I asked.

"For everything. I'm glad I met you, and I'm happy we're together." I took a deep breathe. I knew it was gonna come out at some point anyway. "But can we keep this between us for a bit. I just wanna have something to myself for one, you know. The fans don't need to know everything right away. Obviously at some point you'll have to be exposed and introduced, but right now I want you to myself." I just kind of sat there frozen. I wasn't expecting that.

"I'm okay with that." He moved closer to me taking me in his grasp. We hugged for a while before separating and heading upstairs.

We turned on a movie and started to relax.

"I'm gonna go check on Jae real quick. She still hasn't left to go out." I got up and headed towards her room. I knocked and got a 'come in' response.

"Whatcha still doin here?" I asked.

"Packing duh." She didn't even look up at me and continued on with what she was doing.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because you're leaving." She said finally looking up at me.

"Doesn't mean you have to leave." She sighed.

"I know you've wanted to go on this trip forever, and as your best friend I can't just continue it without you. We'll come back again sometime, but I'm going back with you." I smile and sat down next to her.

"You're the best." I gave her a hug and continueed to smile.

I can't believe we're leaving, just like that...
