ARYX

Me and Kyungsoo felt really awkward around each other since we fought. And to be honest, it's been quieter ever since. The atmosphere around is totally not okay. So, to avoid total awkwardness around us, I stayed in a different room. As I sat down on the edge of my bed, I thought deeply about Kai.

I miss him so bad already. It's been a few weeks since I last saw him. I wonder how he's doing right now? I hope he's fine. I sighed heavily and plugged my earphones into my iPod. What better way to calm your mind with music?

I was listening to Girl's Day when I heard somebody knock on the door. I took off one of my earphones and said, "Come in." Kyungsoo went inside, with a sly smile forming on his lips. I could sense he was faking it, for me not to notice. "Aryx-ah,"

"Ne?" I asked. I paused my music and faced him. "There's some thing I need to tell you," My heart pounded fast when he said those words. What is he going to tell me about?

He sat next to me, and tears were escaping his eyes. He held my hand tightly, and said, "Aryx, I know we've been together for a long time and even engaged. You've taken care of me, and so did I with you. But, the way he looks at you is different. He loves you, doesn't he? Aryx, I can't love you the way he does. You deserve a lot better than me. During our fight, the words that came out of your mouth about me didn't hurt; because it was all true. I may have loved you for years, but I feel like there's something missing in me, that's in him. And I know you love him too, and I'm fine with it, Aryx. I'm letting you go, because I love you, and I don't want you to get hurt," My heart had mixed emotions; I couldn't explain what I feel. A tear slipped my eye, and I hugged him instantly.

"T-thank you, Kyungsoo. But--" He interrupted me."What makes you happy, makes me happy," I gave him a smile, hugged him tightly - knowing that he isn't a selfish person. I'm just worried that he'll be alone in life, with no one else to accompany him, just like me and him before.

"Make sure you find the right person for you too," I reminded him while giggling. "Of course, I will," he replied, while wiping the tears in his eyes. He held my hand, and took off my engagement ring.

"Let him put this on you," he said and smiled brightly."Thank you for every single thing, Do Kyungsoo."

KAI

"Yes, I'll be right there on the airport, don't worry. The whole team will be there to fetch you." Noona Tiffany said on the other line to me. "Okay, that'd be great. Thanks again, Noona." She lastly said goodbye before I hung up. I grabbed my luggage and the letter downstairs.

My plan was to go while Sehun is still asleep. He's complete idiotic whining pisses me off. "Kai your heart is one big idiot!" Please. Anyway, I'm going to stop my ranting on him.

I left the letter with a small sticky note saying,"Annyeonghaseyo, hyung, I'll be going now." I sighed heavily and bit my lower lip, trying my best not to cry. Gosh, I will surely miss this place. I waited for a taxi, and went on my way to the airport. San Francisco, USA, here I come.

SEHUN

'Cause it's the end, and I'm not afraid to die! "Son of a--" I was seriously startled at my alarm clock. Why did I even choose a heavy metal song?

I rubbed my eyes and went down stairs for some breakfast. "Hm, I wonder where Kai is." I thought to myself. I looked for him in every single place in the house, even the attic. And then it hit me. I remember all that happened yesterday. His ticket back to America, me crying on the corner, his luggage, and me calling him an idiot. He wanted to go back to the States!
