"Good morning" I opened my eyes to see a smiley Taehyung by the door.

"What time is it?" I groaned as I sat up on the bed.

"7 a.m"

"It's so early, when is your flight?" I asked while trying to open both my eyes.

"10 a.m, in three hours so let's eat breakfast and get ready"

"I don't need to get ready" I muttered and stood up as Taehyung eyed me from my head down to my toes.

"You sure?" He raised an eyebrow with a smirk.

"Oh right, I'm at your place"

How dumb can I be?

"I'll go change then" I scratched my head and approached Taehyung.

"You look cute in my clothes" He whispered in my ear before running downstairs.

Did- did he just say that?

Already flirting and shit....

I smiled to myself and entered the bathroom.

After changing back to my old clothes that are almost two days old, I went downstairs and headed towards the kitchen.

"Are you all done? Your passport, suitcase, laptop bag, everything?"

"Yes now stop stressing and come eat with me" he placed down a plate with an omelet on the table and filled up a cup of juice.

"Bon appetit" I thanked him and sat down, devouring into the food as soon as I grabbed the fork.

"Since when could you cook? Last time you cooked you burned the toast" I looked up at him confusingly.

"I've improved right?"

"Hell yeah you have, this is really good" I muttered as I took another bite of the omelet.

"It's all thanks to youtube and practicing"

As soon as we both finished eating, I did the dishes quickly and headed to the living room to get my bag and car keys.

"I'm driving you to the subway right?" I walked towards Taehyung who was putting his shoes on.

"You don't need to, I can take a cab"

"No, not on my watch. I'm taking you there" I bent down and slid my shoes on.

"Are you ready?" I asked as he double checked that he had everything with him.

"Let's go" I smiled excitedly and walked to my car.

"You look too happy right now, you really want me to leave huh?" He joked and placed his suitcase in the trunk.

I laughed at his statement because I was actually happy.

Not because he's leaving, but because I really enjoyed spending last night and today with him.

I started the engine as Taehyung got in the passenger's seat and drifted off to the subway nearby.

It didn't take too long until we arrived.

"There" Taehyung pointed at a free parking stop that wasn't too far away from the stairs.

I opened the car-door after parking, walking towards Taehyung who was taking out his suitcase from the trunk.

"All ready?" He nodded as we then walked towards the stairs down to the subway.

"Aren't you excited?" I elbowed him as we waited until the train came.

"Kinda, but I'll miss you" he pouted like a kid as I pushed him lightly.

"You will forget about me the second you get on that train" I joked, receiving an angry look from him.

"No, but you will"

"Maybe" he narrowed his eyes at me, as I stood there giggling.

"Oh, you already know that I'll miss you too, but two weeks isn't a lot. It'll pass" I muttered seconds before the train came.

"There it is, now go work hard on that assignment, I want to see an A, understood?" I exclaimed as he smiled at me before nodding his head.

"Ugh, I don't want to leave" he grumbled while grabbing his things.

"You have to" I pushed him gently towards the train.

"Goodbye Taehyung" I waved at him as he was about to get in, but seconds later he turned his back and engulfed me in a hug.

I was a bit taken back but wrapped my arms around him immediately.

"Don't forget about me" he whispered next to my ear, sending shivers down my spine.

"I won't" I smiled as we broke the hug.

"Bye Tae"

I waved at him one last time before he disappeared between the other passengers.

I turned my back and walked back to my car.

"What should I do now?" Lena yelled and stormed in as soon as I opened my front door.

"What the- what happened?" I turned my head and looked at her confusingly.

"Jimin, he just said that his parents are going to visit him, and he wants me to meet them" She sat down on the couch and started explaining.

"And what's wrong with that?"

"I'm not ready, what if they don't approve of us"

Lena was like an open book to me, I could easily see how worried she was because she truly loves Jimin.

I can see it in her eyes.

"You don't want to lose him don't you?" I looked at her with a slight smile as she shook her head.

"No, never"

"Well then all you got to do is be yourself and I'm sure they'll love you, don't worry too much"   I gave her a tight hug and assured her that everything will be fine.

"Wow, you really know how to calm me down, what're your tricks" I chuckled at Lena's words and grabbed my phone.

"Who are you texting?" Lena asked as I opened my contacts.

"Taehyung, he left town today and he'll be back in two weeks"

"Won't you miss him?" I looked at her and smiled.

"Of course I will"

In fact, I miss him already.
