A lot of voices, different languages and new faces were the only sounds Yoongi could hear when he walked through the airport, holding Hye Jin's small hand with his big one and carrying a small backpack on his shoulder. The eldest sister of the two followed right behind them.

"Oppa, where are we going?" The six year old curiously asked, making Yoongi's heart clench, suddenly feeling sorry for her innocence.

"We're going to visit our aunt in Canada, it's really pretty over there... You will make a lot of new friends there and we can eat a lot of different foods too.." Yoongi tried his best to smile hoping that the young child wouldn't see through his facade, luckily his sister was too young to notice so she just nodded, and kept pointing her small finger at the gift shops around, seemingly surprised by the amount of different souvenirs.

Yoongi could hear his other sister almost crying behind him, she was on the phone talking with her lifelong friends, and apologizing for leaving so suddenly. He bit his bottom lip hard every time he'd hear her apologizing for leaving so suddenly, he felt terrible because it wasn't their fault that they had to go through this.

They didn't deserve this. They had never left the country for anything, and suddenly going to a completely different country where they don't speak the same language or have the same culture was obviously going to be extremely hard for all of them. But they didn't have another choice.

Yoongi's cousin told him about a company hiring lyricists, and also about how much help he could receive for both of his sisters. He knew they could do just fine over there, even if that meant they had to say goodbye to so many people and parts of their life.

After walking for about 10 minutes, they finally got to their gate. They all handed over their boarding pass, and walked through the hall and out to the plane.

Once inside, they found their seats and he made the younger girl sit by the window so that she could see out. He sat in the middle and his other sister sat next to him. They tightened their seat belt, and before the pilot asked for all cell phones to be turned off, he gave it a last look.

Nothing.

He sighed, thankful that his friends didn't make things any more difficult for him.

Thankful for not telling Jimin anything too, otherwise that would have made things a hell of a lot harder for him as well.

He sighed deeply, and shut his phone completely off, making sure he put on several movies on his laptop for little Hye Jin to watch on the flight.

24 hours later, and they were finally settled down in a hotel in a small town of Canada.

They decided on getting one room with two beds, and wait until tomorrow to meet their family.

The time difference also made them extremely tired, so they needed a lot of rest.

After both of his sisters fell asleep, he decided on taking a shower before he slept as well.

He looked through his backpack and found some clothes, and his cell phone which was still turned off.

When he turned it on, a million and one notifications started popping up.

Some from Namjoon and Jungkook, but most of them from Jimin.

He closed his eyes, and decided to wait until later to read them.

After taking a shower, he laid down next to the 6 year old, taking a good look at her small face and noticing how much she resembled their mother.

He couldn't help the warm tears that started pooling in his eyes, but he had to wipe them away quickly, and never let his sisters see him in such vulnerable state. He had to stay strong for them.

He picked up the cellphone that sat temptingly on the night stand, and swiped his finger across the screen to unlock it.

He clicked on the text from his dearly loved friend Namjoon and sent a text telling him that he had arrived safely, and to let Kookie know that as well. He made sure to tell him he was okay, and how thankful he was to both of them.

After he replied to Namjoon, he hesitated before looking at Jimin's, but after fifteen minutes of just staring, he finally did so anyways.

Yoongi closed his eyes, sighing as he kept on reading the texts. Every single one of them consisted of him asking if he was okay, it made his heart hurt in a way he didn't think it was possible, he didn't want to leave Jimin worried at all so he typed up a short and probably the last text he'll ever type to him again.
