Chapter 11 | Goodbye

"Why is he *sniff* so *sniff* mean to me??"I whined while eating ice cream

Hoshi chuckles"why isn't ice cream working? I thought you'll always cheer up when it comes to ice cream"he said

I sniffed and finished my 4th ice cream"...I want more..."

"Hey hey hey. That's enough ice cream for today"

I whined"what? Why? Ice cream is like my...my--- antidepressant"

He laughs and raised an eyebrow"antidepressant?"he asked so I replied with a nod"sorry Seyoung but ice cream isn't good for you"

"Ha! Yes it is! It's good for my heart"I said, confidently

"Yeah right"he rolls his eyes and playfully nudge me"so are you feeling better--?"

Karleen bursts in the room and her eyes are so swollen and red. Is she crying?"Seyoung!!!! Where have you been?! We've been worried about you!"she said, running towards me"are you ok? Are you hurt? What did Jihoon said to you?!"she bursts different kinds of questions

I laughed awkwardly"haha...I was just getting fresh air outside"I said

"Please don't do this again, ok? You almost gave me a heart attack"she said, gesturing at her heart. The door busts open and was shocked on who that person was

-*-Third person's POV-*-

"Kim Hyunsook? You're back from America already?"Karleen asks. The guy standing in front of the door has brown and messy hair with black eyes. He stares at Seyoung and then at Karleen.

"W-Welcome back...big brother"Seyoung said, stuttering. Apparently, Seyoung has 2 brothers. Kim Taeyang and Kim Hyunsook. Taeyang is the 2nd eldest and Hyunsook is the eldest while Seyoung is the youngest. Hyunsook is a CEO of the famous wine in America. In short. He's successful.

He sighs and glance at Seyoung"Seyoung...I heard you're having trouble here in Korea. Is that true?"he asked

"No! I-I'm perfectly fine here"she said, shaking her head

"No need to lie Seyoung. Taeyang already told me the whole story"he said, pointing at Taeyang who had just came in the room"sorry Seyoung but it's for the best"Taeyang said, lowering his gaze

She looked at both of them, confused"w-what do you mean?"

"You're going to America with me"Hyunsook said causing Seyoung to burst in anger

"I'm perfectly fine! There's no need for me to go to America!"she said, raising her voice

"You're currently miserable here and I can't allow that! You're going with me wether you like it or not!"he said. Her face turns to red and then she spoke

"Why can't I choose on my own?! Since mom died you two always want what's best for me! But what about my feelings?! Huh?!"she blurted out. Tears yet again follow. Hyunsook slapped her in the face causing her to touch her face where he slapped her.

"Don't you dare raise your voice!"he said. A second later, he noticed that the tears are streaming down on Seyoung's face. His hands turn to fists"come on, we're leaving tomorrow"He said before leaving. Guilt was building up in Taeyang's system. If it weren't for him. Seyoung could've stayed.

Seyoung wipes her tears and looks at Hoshi who has a frown on his face. Hoshi knew that Hyunsook is a serious and careful guy. That's why he stayed quiet. Seyoung smiles bitterly and hugged Hoshi tightly.

"I'm going to miss you..."she said and then left. Hoshi held his head in frustration. He never knew he would lose Seyoung this way. He's devastated. Messed up

-*-Jeonghan's POV-*-

1 week had already passed since Seyoung left from Korea. Hoshi is not his usual self. He's always active and loud but today...he's quiet. Serious. Too serious. He always yell when we get the choreography wrong. He gets frustrated quikly. He's eating less. The more he's like this the more we get worried for him.

Even Woozi is acting strange. He never comes out of his room. He's always quiet and he's always thinking deeply. Everything is a blur to him. Hoshi's been very distant to Woozi. Usually, he's always their to bug Woozi with stupid jokes but since Seyoung left. They both changed. They became distant. Me and Seungcheol always ask if the group is falling apart. I hope it won't. We all hoped that they'll get along soon. We all hoped that...that Seyoung will come back.

-*-Taeyang's POV-*-

"Seyoung, please eat. You've been in their for 6 days and you still won't eat"I said, banging on her door. Seyoung has been eating less. And now she won't eat at all. Karleen and I decided we come to America with Seyoung.

I always hear sobbing in her room and it worries me. The last time I saw her left her room was when she went to the kitchen to drink water. My heart broke into a million pieces when I saw her. She's getting thinner and her eyes are swollen.

Karleen knocks on the door and cries"please Seyoung. We're really worried about you...I'm really worried"she muttered. A minute of silence when the door slowly opens

Karleen gasps and hugs Seyoung tightly"are you ok?"she asked

"No..."Seyoung replied, weakly

"How about we go to the mall and buy you some video games, yeah?"she asks, holding Seyoung's shoulder. Seyoung lowered her gaze and slowly nodded. I smiled and held both of them"let's go now and get some burgers on our way their"

~*~

I sigh in relief when Seyoung is back to her normal self. Karleen and Seyoung are singing a really dumb song and laughed loudly. We're still in the car, eating burgers while Seyoung and Karleen are goofing off. Half an hour later, we arrived at the mall. Karleen and Seyoung ran to the entrance and the cold breeze welcomed us. They both rushed to the video game store as I laugh at both of them.

They bought dozens of videogames and we chatted some stupid stuff. We went to the arcade and tried some of the games.

"Hahaha!! You noob! I win!"Seyoung said, feeling confident

"Shut up you wild monkey and let's go"I said only to be replied by a loud laugh by the both of them. We headed outside and decided to wonder around and head back home. That was a mistake. We saw a billboard that shows 13 guys and a word on the top that says, Seventeen.

I looked at Karleen and she does the same. We both looked at Seyoung who has an expressionless face while looking at the billboard. Surprisingly, she didn't react. She only chuckles and continued walking. We sighed in relief and followed Seyoung.

-*-Seyoung's POV-*-

I went in my bedroom and locked the door. I put away my stuff and sat in front of my study table. Inhaling deeply along with a deep sigh. I open my pastel pink diary and began to write.

-----

Dear, Journal

I opened my eyes to see a billboard. A billboard that shows 13 young men and a word says Seventeen. Their is nothing inside me. Only sadness. Despair. No other positive emotions.

My brother (Kim Hyunsook) told me that I should help him with the company. The company that sells only the finest wine. My brother told me that I can make a fine assistant. Only because I'm good at strategy and also. I'm good at math. I hope I'll do well at the company.

I hope...

I can forget him
