"are you sure about this?" yoongi gasps for air.
"i'm sober by now. the only thing i'll regret in the morning is my horrible hangover," she breathes out before connecting her lips with his again.

asuka knocks on the boy's door. no answer. she tries the knob but it's shut in place.
"open up, taehyung, i know you're in there," she sighs, knocking at the door again.
a few more knocks and the door slowly creams open. a sulking taehyung appears.
"i just wanted to talk before we leave," she briefly explains. "can i come in?"
he stares at the girls for a while before reluctantly stepping aside. the girl slightly smiles and walks in, him closing the door behind her.
"what do you want?" he deadpans.
"i know you're really upset about this whole situation. i know you want this group to stay together, and knowing the connection with yoongi and i made you extremely worried about the future of the group. so upset you even walked out of them room. but i wanted to let you know that we'll still be in touch. you can come visit us or we can attend your guys's concert. i know you will still flourish as a six member group, so don't worry, okay?" her hand reaches to ruffle his hair but he grabs her wrist.
"that's not why i'm so upset," he lets out, looking down and avoiding eye contact.
her eyebrows furrow at his grip and words. "then why are you so-?"
his head tilts up, his once groggy eyes now glossed over with tears. "-i like you, okay? not even liked, i still like you. ever since i first saw you when you entered the meeting room when you first joined the group, i've had this never ending crush on you. i've seen how close you and yoongi hyung became and i became annoyed, almost jealous of him for being able to be on such close quarters with you. knowing about your secret relationship was the final straw to my current state. i'm not just upset or sad, noona. i'm heartbroken."
she stares at the boy with a loss for words.
"taehyung, i-," she smacks her lips, finally gathering the courage to say something before he interrupts her.
"-i don't need to hear it. i know you're happy with yoongi hyung. just.." a tear escapes his eyes. "just take care of yoongi hyung for us. for me, alright?" his voice slightly cracked at the end, similar to how broken he was on the inside. "i don't know if we'll be able to see you two anymore with our busy schedules. i might never even see you two anymore. think about it. not being able to talk or be near two of your bestest friends for the rest of your life. is this a punishment for something i did in my past life?"
"i'll always look after him," asuka says, taking the boy's hand off her wrist and into her palm. "and we'll find a way to get back together. even if only for a few months. and when the baby is born, you're welcome to come say hi whenever."
taehyung brokenly smiles at the thought, his eyes still watering. "it's going to be so weird without you two nagging at me," he chuckles, shaking his head before finally breaking down into full crying mode.
"you'll get used to it," she comforts him, patting his back and giving him a slight side hug. a tear escapes her eyes as well. "you'll have to."

"you guys will eat properly?" seokjin asks as the two stand by the dorm door.
they nod their heads.
"keep us updated on the baby?" jimin asks.
"alright have the group chat set up," asuka waves her phone back and forth.
"did you bring enough rice?" hoseok asks, head peeking over everyone's shoulders.
yoongi nods, slightly chuckling.
the group stands in silence, not sure what else to ask to stall time until the two had to leave.
it wasn't until someone sniffled that the group broke into a crying mess.
wiping at her eyes, asuka manages to breathe out, "this isn't goodbye. just a see you later."
the group's faces freeze at her sappy words before breaking into crying again.
"yah, we'll still talk, right?" yoongi sniffles, wiping at his eyes. "it's not goodbye forever."
"but it won't be the same," taehyung finally speaks up.
the couple's eyes melt at his contribution to the conversation. asuka had already informed her boyfriend about the conversation she had with taehyung earlier that day.
yoongi lips quiver before bringing taehyung into a hug. everhone intitiates a group hug at the action, a huddle of love and crying.
asuka backs up. "okay, no more crying. i can hear the taxi honking from outside."
the group reluctantly lets go of each other to watch the couple grab their boxes and walk out the dorm door, afraid of crying more if they said goodbye one more time.
