7. Goodbye

Yoona POV

Youngjae watched me as I aimlessly paced back and forth, he was sitting in one of the chairs, probably set up for the next class.

"Yoona?"

I stopped walking and looked at him,

"Are you okay?"

"I'm just thinking I guess" my mind was stuck on what my mum had said earlier, I know she is right but part of me wants nothing more for her to be wrong.

I don't think I'm ready to let Mark go... But I think I have to

"Yoona..." Youngjae almost whispered breaking me out of my thoughts.

"yeah"

"Are you sure you're okay? You seem kind of..." he scratched head, standing up "off?"

"Something happened to me and I'm not sure what to do." I stop for a second and take a deep breath,

" If your mum asked you to do something that really you don't want to, If it involved losing someone that's important to you, someone that you... love... Would you let them go? Would you listen to her?"

Younjae sadly smiled his eyes held an understanding, he knew how I felt. He had felt the same thing. He nodded for a moment, "I wouldn't listen to her if you love them. I wouldn't listen"

"But I think I have to, she would have never had asked me if she didn't think it was for my best"

Youngjae nodded again "Do you trust her?"

"More than anyone, she's the only person I have left" I was quiet for a minute "but with Him... I've never felt this way before about anyone, and I don't want to lose him. I don't want to lose this feeling" I felt a tear roll down my cheek. So much for not crying at school.

Youngjae stepped closer to me, wrapping me in a hug. I instantly hugged him back, knowing that I could trust him.

He felt safe,
kind.

"I don't want to let him go, but I need to. I can't lose my mum"

Youngjae nodded hugging me a little tighter. "I can't tell you what to do"

This time it was my turn to nod, something about this boy made me feel better.

We stayed like that for a while, till the bell rang.

Youngjae let go of me and gently wiped the tears off my face. "do you know what you're going to do?"

I felt myself starting to fall apart again " I-" I let out a shaky exhale "I do"

Mark POV

I had searched everywhere for Yoona, but she was nowhere to be found.

I wandered the school aimlessly, not caring to go to class, not knowing where to search next. The buzzing of fluorescent lights above drowning out my thoughts. I was heading towards the part of the school that no one goes to anymore. The music room was right ahead, I looked through the small window on the door.

Yoona was inside, I sighed out of relief until I saw who she was with. She was hugging... Youngjae? what- what is she doing? no no that's not... she's just- it's not anything. I felt my heart breaking, but I'm probably just imagining things. Yoona wouldn't do that... Right? It means nothing...

I walked away from the music room. Not wanting my heart to break any more than it already has. As I walked away I heard the music room door open and close. Footsteps ran down the hall.
