❝maybe love can't—❞ —
"jia what the fuck is wrong with you!" youngmin yells, trying to get control of his crying girlfriend. jia stops at her track, she looks up at him, tears rolling down her cheeks. "what's wrong with me? what's wrong with you!" she turns the question around.
"there's nothing wrong with me-" jia interrupts her boyfriend. jia pulls out something from the back of her pocket. she takes it out and throws it onto the floor. it was plane tickets, leaving to japan, tomorrow.
youngmin's eyes widened, he immediately shuts himself up. he didnt know what to say, other than to admit that it was his'. the more youngmin doesnt talk, the more jia tears up. youngmin sighs, "j - jia, baby, i - i can explain," he stammers with his words.
"explain what? this is pretty much self explanatory, youngmin. you're leaving tomorrow?" jia softly spoke, she was too weak to shout or be angry. she was just disappointed.
"i - i was about to tell you-" jia cuts him off. "when? your flight is tomorrow morning! were you just going to leave me in the middle of the night?!" she raises her voice.
"jia, i love you, you know i would never do something so low," youngmin tried to redeem himself. jia shakes her head, backing away from her boyfriend. "why didnt you tell me you were leaving?" she asks.
youngmin slowly walks up to her, he was about to cup her face when she pushes his hand away from her. she backs up. "i didnt want to hurt you," youngmin explained. "so you think leaving me in the middle of the night wouldnt have hurt me?!" jia cries out.
youngmin tightened his fists. "god damnit, jia! im a fucking idol! i'm im fucking youngmin! i dont get to laze around all day and slack around like you! i'm suppose to leave you! i'm suppose to leave and tour the world!" he bursts out.
jia's eyes widened, her hands were clenched tight, she felt another tear run down her already moist cheeks. she backs away from her boyfriend. she was definitely hurt by his words.
"i laze around? excuse you, i have been pulling all nighters to get a perfect fucking gpa and— " she gives up. " — im not even going to argue with you. you're leaving tomorrow, i dont want our last day together to be like this," she sighs.
jia acted like she was okay, but she was hurt by everything youngmin spat out at her. "you're right, i- i'm sorry," she looks down on the ground. she sniffles. "you're an idol, what was i thinking? of course you were suppose to leave me," she fakes a laugh, walking away towards the room.
youngmin realized what he said and immediately regretted every single thing he said. he tries to reach out for jia's hand. "jia, baby, wait, i - i'm sorry," but jia ignores him. "you know what, youngmin? it's okay, it's late, your flight is just in a few hours, you need your rest, i have lessons tomorrow, let's just - sleep," jia looks back at him, trying to put on a smile.

jia wakes up from her sleep and checks the clock, it was 5 am. she turns over to the side, youngmin isnt there. he left for his flight, which was at 7. 'if i leave now, would i still be able to catch up to him?' jia thought to herself.
she immediately gets up from her bed and take a quick shower, changing to her casual clothes, she runs out of the dorm, trying to catch a cab.
she arrives the airport at 6 am on the dot. she runs and runs until she sees her boyfriend, with his group members. jia was just about to yell out youngmin's name when the woman announced something on the pa system.
'flight 23 heading to japan, this is the last call, door is almost closing,' the announcement says. jia immediately yells the name of her boyfriend.
"im youngmin!" she yells at the top of her lungs. youngmin turns, and lights up at the sight of his girlfriend infront of him. jia runs over to youngmin and vice versa. youngmin pulls her into his arms, jia buries her face in his chest.
"oh my god baby, im so sorry for what i said to you yesterday, i love you so much," youngmin repeatedly whispers to jia. jia hugs him tight. "wait for me, please," youngmin whispers into her ear.
jia nods her head, "i will, youngmin," she says the same. "youngmin ah! we have to go!" donghyun yells. youngmin breaks the hug, kisses jia one last time, "it's just two months, wait for me, i will come back for you," he smiles, kissing her one last time.
with that, youngmin runs off for his flight, the distance between them widened and that tore jia's heart apart. the rest of youngmin's group members waved jia goodbye and vice versa. jia sees the door closing after youngmin, separating the two apart.
jia was about to break down, she was tired of seeing her boyfriend leave her. it has become a daily routine, but she still holds on. she was so tired, but she still waits for him.
