"Tae?" Jimin stepped in, approaching his friend who was busy packing up his bag. "Are you.. going somewhere during lunch?"

"Yeah," he shoved the last book in his bag and threw it over his shoulder. "I promise Chaewon I'll see her. Not that I know where exactly but..yeah." He patted Jimin's back and jogged past him.

"Can't you —  stay?" Hesitantly, he rubbed his nape and lifted both shoulders. "Atleast see the others before you leave?"

"I won't be long. I promise." Taehyung tried to rush off again but, Jimin grasped him by his wrist. Taehyung confusingly stared at his hand and shifted to his eyes. "What are you doing?"

"I— " He paused as soon as he saw his other friends, appeared while nodding their heads in the process. "— I can't let you go and meet Chaewon."

"Stop talking nonsense, Jimin. I'm already late." He chuckled and tried to release himself from his grasp but, failed miserably. "Jimin. Let go," he deadpanned and glanced at the others. "Guys, tell him to let me go."

They all grew quiet and lowered their heads.

"I'm sorry." Jimin clenched his teeth and shook his head. "But.. C-Chaewon's leaving to US today."

In a split second, Taehyung shoved him to the wall, grabbing him by the collar. Fortunately, Namjoon and Seokjin ripped him away from Jimin; holding him tight in their arms.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" He angrily asked, his hands curled into ball of fists.

"Taehyung calm down," Namjoon said.

"We're r-really sorry we didn't tell you sooner. C-Chaewon didn't want you to know anything about this," Jimin stated. Taehyung tried to push him yet again but, both hyungs gripped him even tighter.

"Why the fuck are you telling me this now?" He yelled. His chest clenched as if it was stabbed millions of time.

"It's not just Jimin. We all knew, Tae." Yoongi sighed.

Taehyung clenched his fist with the effort to keep his own tears at bay. Instead of throwing a punch, Taehyung dropped his shoulders and his eyes turned flat and cold.

"She wanted you to meet her at the cremation building where your mom is." Taehyung didn't move nor said anything to reply Jimin. "S-She... she planned on not showing up."

"She's probably in the aeroplane by now —"

Taehyung sprinted off; running to the parking lot and got in his sports car. Quickly he took out his phone and dialed Chaewon's number as he drove off to the airport.

"This number is unreachable. Please try again later."

Once he arrived, he rushed in and ran through the sea of crowds. He was showering in his own sweat, his heart was racing and was ready to explode. Momentarily he paused and caught his breath. That's when his eyes caught something.. someone.

"Lee Chaewon!" He shouted from the top of his lungs. The girl took her passport from the security and spun; her eyes caught a glimpse of Taehyung in the busy crowd.

"Taehyung.." His name came out in a breath of air as she clutched her bag and passport.

"Miss, please hurry in. We're about to take our flight in ten minutes," The man said and ushered her in. With that, Chaewon took one last look at Taehyung and disappeared from his sight once more people began passing by.
