'We won.' Jiwoo mutters to herself as she watches her dad getting sent to prison. 'I didn't know that he almost killed my mom and he almost raped me. I can't believe I've been living with that monster for years.'

She opens her phone, revealing her lockscreen. It was Minho sleeping while she has her hand on his hair.

"We won," She whispers. She also noticed the amount of missed calls and texts from him and her other friends.

"Have you packed your bags?" Her mom asked as they walked out of the courtroom and into her car. "Are you sure you won't say goodbye to your friends?"

"No, mom." Jiwoo says, closing the car door. "It's okay."

"Hmm, I wanted to thank the nice Auntie I talked to in the dorm. She took care of you really well."

"We'll just send her our regards,"

"How about your dormmates?"

"Mom, it's fine. Really." Because I might not leave if I see them again. If I see him again.

Her mother started the engine, "Well, okay. Since your Uncle booked this flight we have no choice but to leave. It'll also be a new environment for us and we can finally move on from that rat."

Jiwoo nods, "I know."

"Jiwoo, are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?"

Mom smirked, "Don't tell me, you're missing that guy in your wallpaper?"

Jiwoo noticed her phone was on and quickly locked it. She groaned, "Mom! He's just a friend!"

"Did you find which flight she's on?" Minho asked, meeting Changbin and the others at the airport.

"Oppa, she's in the flight to London." Jiyeon says, pointing at the line where the London flight is.

Minho widens his eyes. That is far. "London? Are you sure?"

"Yeah, we talked to one of her mom's neighbors -"

"Hyung! There she is!" Jiyeon didn't finish her sentence because of Jisung exclaiming. "There! The one with the grey shirt!"

Hyunjin raised his eyebrow, "Isn't that your shirt, hyung?"

"Shut up." He dragged Seungmin, "Come on, we're running."

"What?" Seungmin was taken aback by the sudden order.

"Stop the guards for me."

Haeyeon grins, "We'll do our best, oppa!"

⊱ ━━━━.⋅ εïз ⋅.━━━━ ⊰

Minho's sweat was evident in his forehead. He needed to catch Jiwoo's attention but the guards were still on to them.

"Come on, Sir! I just need to talk to her!" He pleads to the guard to let him in. He was only a meter apart from her. She was sitting down with earphones on.

"Sir, this is important," Seungmin states. "He'll die right now if he doesn't see her."

The guard sighed and took it open himself to let him in, "Just this once. You're lucky I know your dad, Lee Minho."

Minho grins because for once his dad was actually useful.

He slowly walked towards Jiwoo. He was nervous. He doesn't even know what to say to her or how to apologize.

"Minho?" Jiwoo stands up, noticing the boy walking towards her, "W-what are you doing -"

He quickly engulfed Jiwoo into a hug, which the girl returned. She circled her arms around his waist.

They let go and Minho faced her, "You left,"

"I- I needed to. I'm sorry for not telling,"

He cupped her cheeks and brushed his thumb over it, "Well, since you're leaving, you have to take responsibility for this."

Jiwoo looked confused. "For what?"

"For my feelings." He confessed. "I like you, Song Jiwoo and its you I want to be with. Its you I want to spend forever with."

Jiwoo felt her heart leap because for the first time she actually believed in someone again. She chuckles, "Well, you have to take responsibility of my feelings too because I like you too, Lee Minho."

Minho smiles and started to lean in. Jiwoo closed her eyes but before they could close the gap -

"Hyung, their flight is leaving." Seungmin interrupts.

Minho stopped, her lips were only inches apart. "Thank you, Seungmin."

Jiwoo smiles lightly, and remove Minho's hand on her cheeks, "I need to go."

The boy squeezed her hand, "You'll come back?"

"I promise."

"Sorry to interrupt Jiwoo," Her mom, walked towards them and smiled at Minho. "But we have to go."

Jiwoo looked at Minho one last time. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek, "Wait for me?"

"I will." Minho answers as Jiwoo starts to walk away but before she could give the boarding pass to the girl at the counter, he chased her again, "Jiwoo!"

She looked around, meeting Minho's eyes once again, "Did you forget something?"

He removed his necklace with a letter M on it and put it around Jiwoo's neck, "So you won't forget me."

"But... this is your favorite necklace."

"It's yours now." Minho says, noticing the line was getting shorter and everyone was getting on board. "Now, go."

Jiwoo played with it and gave him a grin before walking towards the counter again, "Thank you, Minho."
