Part 78

The airport was full of life, just like usual. The giant glass windows flooded the space with golden light, illuminating the many check-in stations. People were running around, pushing past each other to get to their flights.

In the centre of that stood a quite large group of people, all crowding against one specific person.

Yuri had tears in her eyes as she tried to put on a smile, but was failing quite badly. She looked at the faces of all of her friends, family, boyfriend and couldn't help but sob uncontrollably at the thought that she would have to leave.

"We're going to miss you so much." Bongcha, a close schoolmate of hers, embraced her tightly.

"I will too. Thank you for being my friend. If it weren't for you, I would've probably been a lonely loser." Yuri laughed bitterly.

Her eyes then moved over to a specific person in the crowd, her vision blurring even more as she spotted her bestest friend.

"My favourite hoe."
"My loving bitch."

"This is so sad, how dare you!" Haeun yelled out, her voice cracking as she threw herself at Yuri. The girl both sobbed in each other's arms, getting as much of it as they could.

"You have to call me often, okay? Don't you care make another best friend and abandon me!"
"Yes, yes, of course. You're irreplacable Haeun, how could I have any other best friend?" Yuri laughed out.

She then groaned as Haeun smacked her in the back. "Stop making me cry more!"

"I'm sorryyy~~ But you don't dare to abandon me either! I get that you have a boyfriend now, but I'm still your number 1, okay?" Yuri hugged her even tighter.

"Then hurry up and come back."
"I will try."

Haeun peeled herself off of the girl, walking back right into Jisung's embrace. He wrapped his hands around her waist, resting his chin on her head back-hugging her.

That made space for Jeno to walk right up to Yuri and pick her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist, arms around his neck and she buied her face in the crook of his neck. She couldn't help but cry harder, staining his t-shirt with her salty tears.

"Hey, hey, you baby. Don't cry so much. You're going to come visit in 3 months, you'll be fine." Jeno laughed, his hand drawing circles on her back. But even he couldn't help but tear up, his eyes becoming red.

"I should've met you earlier." Yuri mumbled as she pulled away.

"Mhm, you should have."
"Well that isn't my fault is it?!"

"I'll miss you." He smiled at her before kissing her deeply. He then let her down and she grabbed onto her stuff.

But before she could walk through the gate, someone ran up to the group, panting.

"Wait!"

All eyes turned to see an out-of-breath Daehwi, holding out a small box.

"This is yours."

Yuri took the box, opening it to reveal a beautiful crystal necklace. Her eyes widened.

"I was looking for this everywhere! Why did you have it?" She looked up at him in shock.

"Laying around the house." Daehwi said. "Safe travels."

"Thanks..." Yuri smiled plainly before turning again. "Goodbye! I love you all!"

And then she went through.

"Come on, let's go." Jisung muttered into Haeun's ear as his hand slid down to grasp onto his. She complied and the two were about to head for the exit when someone calling the girl's name made her stop.

"Wait, Haeun!"

She turned to see Daehwi walking up to them. Jisung protectively pulled Haeun towards him, glaring at the other boy.

Daehwi's eyes flickered between the two before he began speaking again.

"Can we talk?"

"You have nothing to talk about." Jisung growled out immediately, squeezing Haeun's hand. But she placed a hand on his arm comfortingly.

She then turned towards Daehwi.

"Fine."

➥

"I'm sorry."

The two stood outside of the airport, in a quieter spot. They were both aware of Jisung observing them from not-too-far away, but enough that he couldn't hear what they were saying.

Haeun raised an eyebrow, surprised. "What?"

"I said I'm sorry." Daehwi sighed, looking up at her sincerely. "It's just that it was too much to handle, you know... I never wanted to push you away but I was too scared of you to be able to act normal whenever i was with you."

Haeun listened attentively, humming. "What made you change your mind?"

"Well... Minnie confessed to lying."

The girl's eyes widened. "She did?"

"Yeah. Lisa's pretty mad at her now." Daehwi smiled weakly. "She said she has to apologize to you profusely tomorrow at school."

"Oh."

"But that's not the only reason!" Daehwi waved his hands in front of himself. "Over time, I realized I was being dumb. You may be part, and even the leader, of a gang, but that doesn't define you as a person. You're one of the nicest people I know and I know that you wouldn't hurt me."

Haeun remained silent, just staring at him.

"So please, will you forgive me?" Daewi asked with hope with his eyes, extending his hand towards her.

The girl looked down at the gesture, wheels turning in her head. This was really sudden. But of course, she took his hand and shook it, a small smile crawling up to her lips.

Daehwi sighed relieved, beaming as well. "So does this mean we're good again?"

"Of course." Haeun assured.

Not long after, they parted. The girl walked back to her boyfriend who was already waiting with a cab beside him.

"How did it go?" He asked curiously, watching Daehwi's back as he walked away in the opposite direction.

"It went pretty well." She smiled happily, looking up at Jisung. "We're friends again."

"And you're sure you're okay with that?" He raised an eyebrow.

Haeun thought about the question for a second before looking right into his eyes.

"Yes." She hummed.

Ok but Yuri ;((

And also with the Daehwi thing, I really thought that I had to make Haeun and the squad friends again, like, c'mon
