JB's POV

"We should probably get ready to head out now, guys," I spoke up after receiving a text from GOT7s manager. "Wanna drop us off at the dorms and drive my car back?" I asked Yunseo. She nodded, translating for the newcomers. I was kind of thankful we had to leave. It was uncomfortable being around them with English being the primary language spoken. I'd never met them and now I was expected to get along with them with a language barrier? It was different as with Jackson, Mark, and Bammie, who had been quietly trying to learn how to fit in when they first came here rather than being the center of attention like Yunseo's friends were. I just couldn't adapt this quickly. I also hated that this would be the last way I'd see Yunseo: leaving her in the company of two other men. Would she even miss me? I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous.

I didn't even know how to say goodbye to Yunseo's friends. A Korean greeting? A Western goodbye? This is stressful. I copied Jackson as he was the first to say anything. I said as little as possible, not wanting to embarrass myself in front of them. Speaking broken English to those who speak English was not as well received as foreigners learning to speak Korean in South Korea. Even if GOT7 members could joke around about our amateur English skills, I wasn't comfortable joking around with these two.

Yunseo said she'd be back while everyone said goodbye to Autumn. Before leaving, I felt the need to put my arm around Yunseo.

I felt I could breathe after stepping outside. I hope no one noticed how tense and uncomfortable I was. If they did, no one brought it up.

We split up into Mark's car and mine to pick everything up from the dorm. At this point, Yunseo and Autumn's felt more like home than the dorms. The dorm was far too tight for 7. 9 people in Yunseo's house was tight too, but not even comparable to the dorm. I'm gonna miss this place while we're gone. It'll be hotels and eating out for the next few months. And lots of testosterone.

A few of the boys came with Yunseo and I and the rest went with Mark as we drove back to the dorms. I made Yunseo drive so I could look at her and watch her one last time before we left. She came inside the dorm building with us to say goodbye inside so we wouldn't be caught hugging outside.

She took her time saying goodbye to each one of us. I watched her while I waited to say goodbye to her myself. I wanted to see her for as long as possible. I didn't want to go.

"Take care of yourself, alright?" Jinyoung bent down slightly, putting his hands on Yunseo's cheeks. "You're like my baby sister. I don't want anything to happen to you." Yunseo smirked. Jinyoung wasn't usually like this with her.

"I'll be just fine. You just worry about taking care of yourself and each other."

"I'm being serious! Be careful and good to yourself. Take. Care." Yunseo put her hands on his shoulder.

"I. Will." She smiled. "Go get ready to leave. Everything will be fine," she reassured him, hugging him goodbye. He took his leave. "That was a bit weird," she admitted to Yugyeom, Youngjae and I.

"He's probably worried to be going for so long. This past year we've been hanging out with you so much, it's gonna be weird not having you around." Yugyeom told her. "Besides, he knows you just as well as any of us! We know what you're like, Yunseo." She approached him with her arms crossed. He had said the wrong thing.

"And what am I like?" She asked with a small smile. He smiled back innocently, refusing to answer. She scoffed. "So annoying. Keep this lot on their toes. You're good at that," she told him, hugging him. They exchanged final words, and then it was just Yunseo, Youngjae and me.

Youngjae stepped forward voluntarily, knowing it would be a harder goodbye for me than him. He'd been without his older sister before. He knew what that was like. I wasn't quite so well adjusted. I stepped away to give them some privacy while I waited to say goodbye.
