This is it. Today is the day. The day I’ll be leaving Seoul. I’ll be leaving all my friends. Since today is holiday, Kim’s family, and some of my friends are together in sending us to the airport.

“MinMin-ah. Don’t forget me okay? If you feel lonely, or having  a problem,  you can always call me. You have my mom’s number , right?” told Ha Ni as she keep on crying. I feel sorry for her. But, what can I do? Me neither doesn’t want to move.

“Yes. I’ve got your mom’s number. Don’t you worry, okay. You must take care of yourself from now on. Do not let anyone bullying you. Please , don’t cry. It’s  hard for me to go.”

Ha Ni stop crying, but her tears keep falling. She just keep her head down as I look at the others. Young Saeng, Kyu Jong, Jung Min, Hyung Jun, and Hyun Joong. As my eyes look at Hyun Joong, it start to teary. I hold my tears from fall but it become worse when Hyun Joong went to me and hug me tight.

“Sweetie. Come. Our flight is about to depart. We must get going now.” Omma said to me and take me away from him. He still hold my arms and didn’t want to release it. Mrs Kim went to him and release my arms and hold Hyun Joong in her arms. I heard Mrs Kim said to him.

“Please, Joongie. You promise me, right. You have to let her go. We still can see them later. Arasso?” after Mrs Kim said that to him, he raise his head to look at me. I can see his teary eyes begging for me not go. But, I just shake my head, for a “NO” to him. Not you too, Hyun Joong-ah. Sorry,  I have to go. My omma and Mrs Kim bid their goodbye as the others do so. Daniel also hold my hands and we’re heading to the departure gate and wave at all of them.

I can see that Ha Ni crying again and Young Saeng trying to comfort her. Ha Ni, the crying baby. How can I leave her like that? Please take good care of her, friends. And Hyun Joong’s face seems tell me something. But, I can tell what are they? Then, we wave at them for the last time and start to leave.

Goodbye all. Hopefully we’ll be able to meet in the future. I pray that in my he
