I laughed as I sat next to Minji's bed as her, Eric and I were making best friendship bracelets. As we take our take to make the bracelets there was a knock at the door. We all look over and it was a nurse standing there with a sad smile. Eric and I look at Minji and she sighs and tries to hand us the supply box but Eric takes it.

"We don't want you to exert yourself." He says and Minji smiles and I gently take the bracelet from her hand and she looks up at me then Eric.

"I'll be right back you guys." She says and we nod and the nurse wheels her out the room.

I sigh and Eric places his hand on my arm. I look over at him and smile. Today was our last day before we had to go back to school. We were bummed but we had to go back.

After an hour and a half Minji was wheeled back. She was sleeping so we decided to write her a note since we knew she wasn't going to wake up before the time our flights took off. Since Eric goes to University here, he sent me off at the airport since both of my parents had work.

"Text me when you land." He says and I nod and he pats my head with a smile.

"Don't make me have to come down there either." He teases and punches my cheek and I playfully push him away and laugh.

"I'm eighteen I can handle myself."

"And I'm nineteen. Since I'm older than you, as your best friend I need to protect my younger friend." He cheeses and I roll my eyes and smile.

"Thank you Eric Oppa." I say and he cringes.

"I hate titles." He says and I laugh and take the handle of my suitcase.

"I'll text you."

"Alright my little dongsaeng."

"Nope, if I can't use titles you can't either."

Again Mercedes takes me back to the dorms. I send a text to Eric and look at my bracelet. As I stare at it my phone rings. I look over and see Taehyung calling me.

"Hi bro!"

"Honorifics please."

"Sorry."

"It's alright, how are you doing? Sorry I missed your call."

"It's fine, I called Jimin."

"Yeah...I know. I'm sorry Lyra. I was busy. Is there anyway I can help now?" Taehyung asks and I could tell he felt bad. I think about it before humming.

"No not really. Where are you at now?"

"Osaka."

"Fun! Maybe I can come on tour with you one day?"

"Maybe. Hey I have a photo shoot but call later?"

"Alright. Goodbye."

"Bye Kid."
