「　two ; goodbye for now。 」━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

After the whole rollercoaster of emotions or what's so called an emotional conversation with Haru, I made my priorities straight. Haru was going to Seoul to pursue her dream of becoming an idol and I'll support one hundred percent. And who knows? This might be an opportunity for me to make music for her. But that's not the point, my music getting recognition is not the point. It's about Haru.

I'm currently in line for the ATM. I wanted to withdraw as much money as I could possibly get. I wanted to buckle up for Haru's Seoul trip, since I know it would be expensive as heck. Not only that, but she also has to look for a new place to stay. A few minutes passed and I was already typing in my pin. ₩500,000. The balance reads, and with that, I withdraw the money. You might be wondering, "wow that's a lot of money, is that your monthly paycheck?"

Sadly, it's not. It's the money I've been saving up for three years. Me and two other friends of mine were planning to make a studio. Since the three of us were really into music, why not invest in a studio? Finding a good studio place was hard enough, but finding good equipment was another story. So that's why it would be great if we could save money and after three years we'll see the amount we were able to make. Don't worry, Haru knows about this. She even hands me a couple of bucks from time to time if she has extra from the cafe she works at.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to show any of the boys the money I earned. I already notified them about this and surprisingly, they were okay with it. In return, they just want Haru to remember them when she's famous. Like, how could Haru forget those two? Hoseok and Yoongi bickering were one of the things she finds funny about them. Basically, the two always make her smile and it would be impossible for her to forget them. Unless, she had amnesia or something, then she would really forget them.

After shoving the money in my wallet, I started to walk home, and when I arrived; a mouthwatering aroma welcomed me. I was lured by the scent, and I quickly made my way to the kitchen where the scent was coming from, and saw Haru cooking dinner. I leaned against the doorframe as I smiled. Her back was facing me so I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't notice me. I was silent for quite a while as I watched her cook. I will miss this. She'll be gone for a while so I won't be able to taste her cooking for that period of time. I mean, I know how to cook but, I'm not a great cook. Like, I can't even cut onions properly!

She turned around and finally noticed my presence. She jumps a bit before she calms down, noticing it was just me. "What are you doing?" She asks before turning back to her cooking.

I walked up behind her and wrapped my hands around her waist. I rested my chin on her shoulder, before I whispered,

"I'll miss you."

Unfortunately, the next day came. If I could stop it, I would've. But I can't. The sun shines and once again makes its way to our bedroom. Usually it'll shine on Haru, but now, it's just shining on the bed. I should be used to this. I lifted my gaze and saw Haru fixing her bags and packing the last piece of her clothing.

"You need help?" I asked. She lifted her gaze and met mine. She shook her head before flashing her signature smile.

"I'm good." she said softly. Her voice, I'll miss that. Sure I'll hear it through our calls but, hearing her voice in real life was way better.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I felt her hand on my shoulder. My soul almost jumps out of my body, but I immediately calm down. The side of her lips were tugged up into a smile.

"Let's go, shall we?"

The drive to the train station was oddly quick, as if destiny really wants Haru out of my sight. I paid for the cab before me and Haru stepped out of the vehicle. I grabbed her remaining bags from the trunk and before I knew it, we were there standing at the platform near the rails, awaiting for the train.

I hoped — I prayed, that the train would somehow stop or get delayed. I know it sounds mean but, I'm selfish. I want to enjoy the last minutes I'll be around her, and I don't want that to flash past my eyes. I pulled her to my side and wrapped her around my arms, not wanting her to leave my side. I rested my head on hers as I shut my eyes, just enjoying her very presence.

"I'll really miss you..." I mutter. I hear her sweet chuckle that made me look at her with my brow furrowed. "Why are you laughing?"

"You've been saying that the whole morning." She continues to giggle. I couldn't help but chuckle as well. Her giggle was so contagious.

It felt like time stopped when the train was already coming at a speed of light. It finally came into a halt and a swarm of people exited the train. I grabbed Haru's shoulders and made her face me. And without even thinking I pressed my lips against her. It was my first time kissing her in public!

I immediately pulled away when I realized time was not by our side. "Stay safe, okay hun?" I smiled and she didn't hesitate to smile back. And within a blink of an eye she was gone. She was out of my sight. I just wished she snagged a seat. The wave of people was difficult to look through, and before I knew it, the train was leaving.

And I wasn't even able to see her smile, one last time.
