taehyung's pov:

"where the heck is my mom?" i ask as i scanned the massive airport with perplexed eyes.

ten thirty on the dot was when we were supposed to meet.

"call her." jeongguk suggests as he struggles to hold my suitcases. i sigh in frustration and turn back to him. "she took my phone." i answer as jeongguk smirks immediately.

"maybe this is a sign that you should stay." he says as i frown. "i wish i could."

yeontan begins to bark as if he wanted attention. i furrow my eyebrows and begin to think attentively.

when i leave for america, my mom will be pretty lonely at home.

why not give her yeontan to keep her company? she's always told me how much she loved pets. it was a perfect idea.

"do you mind if i give yeontan to my mom?" i ask jeongguk as he flips through a holiday brochure that was on display. "i don't really care for him." he answers as i smile immediately.

"i'll take that as a yes." i whisper as i poke my finger through the hole of yeontan's cage and begin to stroke his nose once again.

i take a seat in the airport as jeongguk imitates my actions. there was silence but it was a comfortable silence. it was as if we were both reminiscing on the times we had together.

"jeongguk, do you ever think about the future?" i ask, subconsciously as he turns to face me intently.

"what do you mean?"

i shake my head almost immediately out of embarrassment as jeongguk furrows his eyebrows. "ignore that question." i mumble.

"well, not really. for me, i seem to be drawn to the past." he murmurs, completely ignoring my previous words.

appealed, i continue to delve deeper into the subject. "the past? why the past?"

jeongguk shrugs his shoulders softly as a sigh escaped his lips. "it doesn't matter." he exhaled deeply as i feel myself frown in defeat.

"well, anyways. why were you asking?" jeongguk asks me intently as i shrug my shoulders as well. "i just think about the future a lot." i explain.

"what do you think about?" jeongguk asks.

"us." i whisper almost inaudibly as jeongguk rests his chin on the palm of his hand. "us?" he clarifies as i nod my head.

"where we'll be, what we'll do, what we'll be." i elaborate as jeongguk tilts his head softly. "what we'll be?" he repeats as i nod once again.

"well, what do you think we'll be?" he asks as i hug my knees steadily. "i was hoping we'd be...nevermind, just ignore me." i mumble timidly.

"no, continue." jeongguk tells me as i contemplate what i'm about to say.

"i was hoping we'd start a family." i whisper, i could tell my cheeks were tinted a faint shade of red as they were fucking burning. we haven't even been together for twenty-four hours and i already wanted to get deep into the relationship.

in my defense, you couldn't blame me. i've been so captivated and in love with him for so long. it was inevitable the thought would creep into my head.

what if he didn't love me that much?

what if he wasn't as serious?

"you really want that?" jeongguk asks as i feel myself nodding, without my own acknowledgement.

jeongguk brings his pinky finger out as he stares deeply into my eyes. i couldn't hold contact and so i divert my eyes the same second.

"promise me you'll come back here straight after college?" jeongguk says as i intertwine my pinky finger with him, drenched in desolation. "i promise."
