10 - Departure

•22 July 2019•

Taehyung' POV

"Why didn't you wake me up? It's so late!" She addresses to me running around to pack everything.

"I tried but... you scoffed, told me you were still tired and turned the other way". I answer while bemused by her busy self fretting around.

She frowns.

I look at her. She wore her pyjama with the top inside out. Her hair are an ensemble of tangles. And a troubled expression clashes with her gentle eyes.

Adorable.

When she walks in front of me I grab her arm, pulling her to me.

"Tae! Let me go. I haven't finished packing yet. And also, look at me?" She asserts diverting her stare down on herself.

"You have packed everything, it's just that you're double checking each and every little corner of the house", I joke. "And yes, I see you. You're charmingly ruffled". I give her a small kiss and her expression softens. "Plus, you wouldn't be as late as you think if you wouldn't have decided to take me to the airport; I can always call for a cab".

I don't want to trouble her but my words seem to have the opposite effect as her eyes widen.

"Of course I want to be the one to drive you there. I want to be with you as much as possible". She says serious.

"I know, I just don't want to burden you more than I'm already doing". I state sincerely.

"You're not a burden and it wasn't your decision to leave earlier". She caresses my cheek and kisses my nose, on the mole obviously. "And now, please, let me finish here". She implores and I unwillingly let her go.

Why is it so hard?

><><><

We're in her car now. On our way to the airport, from where she will drive back to the city.

I'm so depressed, but I'm trying to appear positive while talking and joking. I don't want to sadden her further.

I left something for her on her phone while she was sleeping. I wonder of the expressions she will make when she finds it. She's always so amusing. And I have something else too, actually. I wanted to give it to her back at the house but we were running late. Well, according to her.

After a while we arrive at the airport. She accompanies me inside, I embark my luggage and return to her as she looks questioningly at me.

"Don't you have to get in the queue for the check-in?" She asks.

"No, with the ticket I bought I can skip the queue". I explain.

"Right..." Sehe shadows because this means we have less time together than what she thought.

We have said our goodbyes already, although I don't plan to let too much time go by before we see each other again, but she's not even looking at me right now. In facts, she's avoiding my face entirely.

I gently pull up her chin and tears watering those enchanting eyes struck me as her lower lip trembles as she firms it under her teeth.

Noone can melt me like she does.

"Please, don't cry. It's already hard as it is". I caress her cheek wiping off a fallen tear.

"Mh mh..." She sniffs.
