Falling for Mark Tuan | (Sequel) | Markson

Chapter 16 | Fresh start

Saying goodbye is always the hardest.

But saying goodbye to them is for the best. They have their own dreams, and I won't stop them from achieving them.

Jin said goodbye first.
I hugged him for a long time, told him to look after the others for me and he said he would, only if I called at least once a month.

I moved on to Jimin next.
We hugged, laughed, then cried because of how much we were going to miss each other.

Namjoon gave me a huge hug and babbled on about how I 'never call' and am the 'laziest person on Earth."

Taehyung gave me a long, tight squeeze, long enough for me to feel slightly light-headed. He gave me a wide grin and told me he would be back in no time.

Jungkook whispered the first 20 Elements of the Periodic Table as we hugged, he laughed as he pulled away, and that was that.

J-Hope gave me a huge smile, an even bigger hug and even slipped a note into the back pocket of my jeans.

Yoongi was the last one to say goodbye, he didn't say a word as we embraced. He didn't say anything as he left, either.

But I saw the tears in his eyes.

And I couldn't stop crying either.

As the van left the driveway and all seven of them waved goodbye, reality sunk in.

This is the last time I'm going to see them in a long time.

And that thought lingered my mind enough for my eyes to water and my heart to break.

There's no doubt they were hurting too.

After trying to calm myself down, I had remembered about the note Hoseok gave me.

With shaky hands and puffy eyes I pulled it from my pocket, it read.

Dearest Mark Tuan

I just want to say a huge thank you for our time here, having 7 new friends feels amazing :D

Before I go, I want to give you some advice:
Follow your heart.

It sounds cheesy and cliché but a lot of the time you are put in sticky situations and you don't follow your heart, then you end up in an even stickier situation because you made the wrong choice.

If you love him, embrace it and love him like you've never loved before.

Just saying this because I love you.

Love Jung Hoseok.

P.S I love you

Once again, Jung Hoseok was right.

I need to follow my heart more often.

Luckily, the hurt didn't last for too long. After a week of withdrawal from BTS and some thoughtful attempts of bringing my happiness up from MONSTA X, the only person who could lift my spirits was my 'boyfriend'. We've only been on one date and that was at a Mc'Donalds , but I'm pretty sure we're boyfriend and boyfriend now.
