Chapter 18

"Y/N, you know I support you of everything. And I'm so proud of you. But Japan? You and I both know that going there now is impossible!" Hoseok argued.

"But this is so important! This could be a whole new chapter for me!" you argued back.

"Aren't I important?"

"Hoseok, you're so important to me! Move to Japan with me, we can begin something there, and give a fresh start for me too!"

"Y/N! You know I can't move! I just started a job! They need me there! Moving to Japan is impossible!"

"Hoseok... I have to do this," you said. "We can do long distance, we can do this together," you pleaded.

"Long distance never works out Y/N! Face it Y/N! This is too important for you to give up, but my career is also too important to give up!" Hoseok said.

"What are you saying then? That one of us will sacrifice?" you asked, crying.

"No. I'm saying we're breaking up."

•••

"Y/N. We're gonna miss you so much," Jimin said. Surrounding around you included twelve people.

One was missing.

"I'm going to miss you guys so much too.." you said, smiling a bit, while tears fell down your face.

"You'll call us when you land, right?" Soyeon asked.

"Of course, the minute I step foot off the plane, I'll call one of you guys," you said. You looked around the circle and outside the circle.

"He's gonna come Y/N," Yoongi said.

You smiled smally, sniffling. "No he isn't. He can't say goodbye. Not after what happened. He made the right choice."

"Y/N..." Jin said.

"I have to go. I'll miss you guys," you said.

"Goodbye Y/N.." they said, simultaneously.

"Goodbye.." you replied. Waving goodbye, one more time, before heading off into security.

But before doing that, you head into the bathroom, locked yourself in a stall.

And cried.

Because this was goodbye.

And he didn't say one.

It was over.

The chapter with Hoseok was... closed.

•••

"He really... didn't come?" Yuqi asked. The boys sighed, looking at each other.

"How was she dealing with it?" Namjoon asked.

"Not good. Either than sleeping, packing, or working, it was crying. She reduced eating because she'd spend time crying. She wished that she didn't accept this once-in-a-life opportunity," Shuhua replied.

"We'll talk to him when we get back to the dorms. If he's not there, then he's dancing in order to let his frustrations and emotions out," Taehyung said. Everyone nodded.

It was a moment of pausing. A moment of consideration.

Was the relationship between everyone over? Was this friendship... over?

"This won't affect our friendship, right?" Minnie asked.

"Never. Hoseok needs his time, but Y/N would make sure our traditions continue. Even if she's not in the same country as us for who knows how long," Namjoon said.

"Let's hope," Soyeon said.

And with that, a whole new world began.

•••

"Hoseok hyung?" Jimin asked, entering his room. Not here.

Jimin wandered around, finally heading towards the studio. And there Hoseok was.

Dancing, showing his frustrations, his emotions in his dance. Every move, so graceful. Every facial expression, demonstrating each emotion he's feeling.

Regret. Love. Anger. Upset. Sad.

Jimin opened the door. "Hyung? Can we talk?"

"Sure Jimin," Hoseok said, out of breath. He jogged toward the music system, turning it off. He walked towards Jimin.

"Where were you hyung?" Jimin asked.

"What?"

"You didn't come to the airport. To say goodbye," Jimin said. Hoseok stood still for a moment.

"I couldn't do it."

"What?"

"I couldn't say goodbye to her. Not when I still love her," Hoseok said.

"Then why break up with her?" Jimin asked.

"I can't live with the fact that she won't be here. Traveling to Japan to live there is borderline impossible, not with this new job I have. Long distance is- well impossible. Waiting for her, when she may never return is something I can't wait for. When she comes back, or if she does, then she will know that I'm going to be the first one there," Hoseok said.

"Hyung..."

"I love her Jimin, but I wasn't going to have her stay here, but I won't give up on my job too. The emotion will stay forever. And when she comes back, I'll show her. And hopefully, just hopefully... she'll understand what I did."

"But I will wait for her. She's the only one who can make me genuinely...

smile."

The End.

A/N: Okay first of all, I am so so sorry for being so inactive. Things have been tough, and school was finishing up which meant finals. But now we're done, and I can continue writing again!

I'm sorry that the ending of this section may not have been what you wanted. I will contemplate making another book, or making it a sequel.

Thank you for sticking with me throughout this book!

Please let me know what you'd like! ❤️❤️
