MINYOUNG was giddy as she stood next to me. her ecstatic energy was slightly rubbing off on me despite the mix of nerves and sadness that churned my belly.

i hugged my father again and smiled sadly at him. "call everyday. and make sure not to skip any meals okay." he told me sternly. "yes, dad." i chuckled.

"yes, i will take lots of pictures for you." minyoung laughed next to me as she spoke to her family. "it's a good thing dahee is going too. she'll stop you from floating off into the clouds." her mother sighed. "mom!"

i laughed and took minyoung's hand. "we'll look out for each other." i promised her. "you have the short end of the stick here, dahee." her brother, jinyoung chirped. "oppa!"

he cackled, highly amused and she just glared at him. everyone chuckled, well aware he was going to miss her the most.

"dahee," the sound of the low raspy voice made my head jerk to the left. yoongi stood a bit behind my father, dressed in all black, eyes hidden underneath a black dad hat.

"go on," my father urged with a knowing smile. grinning, i left them to meet yoongi.

"i didn't know if you were coming." i let out once i stood in front of him. a frown marred his beautiful face. "why wouldn't i? you're leaving for new york. i won't be seeing you for a while."

"i'll miss you so much." i admitted. i wanted to say so much more. "i'll miss you too." he smiled brightly, warming my heart.

"i got you a bon voyage present." he held out his hands. i glanced down to see a small potted palm. i grinned, wrapping my arms around him in a tight hug. "thank you."

i took in his scent, savouring this last hug. it was going to be a while before i could touch him again.

i felt cold lips on my cheek. "i'll miss you so fucking much." he placed his hat on my head.

i sniffed, realising tears were rolling down my cheeks as i gripped his shirt tighter in my hands. he pulled me closer, kissing my cheek again.

i love you, i wanted to say but couldn't bring my mouth to form the words.
