~ Departure ~

All passengers going to Los Angeles, we will begin boarding shortly.

The robotic female voice made your heart race. You were already on your way to America again and there’s no stopping you. No one can make your parents change their minds.

All passengers going to Los Angeles, we are now boarding.

“This is it…” you spoke in your thoughts with a sigh as you stood from your chair.

“Ji Hyun!” you suddenly heard a scream from behind you as you waked towards the line of people boarding the plane. It was Jungkook.

You turned to see him running towards you with his friends and Suzy. They all huffed loudly, trying to catch their breaths.

“We… came here… as fast… as we can…” Suzy said between breaths, “Holy it feels like I ran a mile.”

“But finding you took me ten years-“

“We still found each other, didn’t we?” he smiled.

All passengers going to Los Angeles, there are five minutes left to board the plane. Five minutes.

The sound of the voice coming from the intercom suddenly muted everyone. They all looked at you with sad expressions on their faces. “I have to go…”

You sat there quietly, looking out the window knowing that you’re actually leaving now. There’s no going back. You suddenly felt something wet splash on your hand. Tears. Since when did you start crying?

“Don’t worry dear, your life back in America will be better,” your
