"how silly are you, taehyung? ilsan is so far away from here, how are you going to go there alone?"
"i'm independent, mom. i know how to take care of myself."
"whatever you say, you're not allowed to go. you're too young to travel so far by yourself."
the door slams.
that night, taehyung packed his bag quickly. clothes, food, essentials.
money.
he took out his savings from his drawer and poured out all the contents. enough for a trip and back here.
just one day, to meet her. and he'll return the next day.
he was on the streets, walking to the train station. he had bought the midnight train online.
his phone beeped. he fished his phone out and there were 4 missed calls from his dad, along with 6 messages from his mom.
"taehyung, where are you?!!"
"don't be silly. you don't even know where she's living. even if ilsan is a small city, you won't be able to find her!"
"come back home, please taehyung."
"call me!"
taehyung unwillingly switched off his phone. i'm sorry, he thought. but he need to see her. he missed her, terribly. taehyung touched his pocket to feel the envelope. the letter, for her. all the things he badly wanted to say to her. all his feelings.
he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, not knowing he was on the quiet road. i'm coming to find you, wait for me.
when he opened his eyes, a flash of bright light surrounded him. the last thing he heard was a bang.
