━ OSAKA | n. yuta ✔️

eleven.

two weeks went so fast, and i watched every single day go. i desperately looked at the calendar, telling myself to stay happy. but i would sometimes burst into small tears during midnight when i couldn't sleep thinking about leaving this place.

i would continuously message them every night, telling myself to make jokes and be happy.

---

"yoorin! we'll catch up with you at the airport!" a boy in our group told me.

i walked back home to pack my last luggage and check the things before leaving.

"i'll miss this house." i looked up to the walls. "very."

the house has been my place for more than ten years of life. this was the place i was born, the place i was raised, the place i have had many memories. sad, happy, all of it.

"goodbye." i whispered into the distance. "i'll miss you, house."

---

i walked to the coffee shop at the airport we have promised to meet up before my flight.

i saw my friends in the distance.

it took me a moment to calm down, but then, tears suddenly came out of my eyelids.

"yoorin- hey! why are you crying?"

my friends walked to me and held my hands, which were a bit shivering. i felt weak.

"yoorin."

"don't cry! yoorin!" a boy in our group, jaehyun, looked into my eyes and comforted me.

"hey, it's okay. we'll keep in contact and send memes, okay?"

"yeah! you'll never be alone, yoorinie~"

i fell into their embrace one last time.

yuta hugged me, but didn't say anything. he just looked down at the floor, sometimes looking up at me.

"we'll contact each other everyday, yoorin ah!"

"i- i really love y'all bastards-" i mumbled, still stuck with tears flowing, they just lingered on my face, like my emotions to my hometown.

"yoorin, we will forever love you! don't be sad, okay?"

"i hate it when you're sad."

"okay- i- gotta go now."

i put on my backpack and walked fastly out of the coffee shop, but still feeling them looking at me.

---

i walked towards the gate, and still sobbing.

and why didn't yuta, my crush, say even a word?

maybe he just didn't feel the same way.

then, i turned my back, as a habit, but i saw someone unexpected.
