The door slowly opened to reveal Taekwoon, Hakyeon's older brother.

"Why are you here?" you asked, your tone flat. 

"I just want to say I'm sorry. Would you reconsider going to school across the world and just stay here for now? Aside from me and my family, you knew him best. This way, if you need to talk, we're here."

"Taekwoon-ssi, it's not like I would run to you, if I needed to talk. your mother, maybe. But, not you. If I did, that would be weird," you retorted, standing up and walking over to him. "Now," you pushed him out of your room. "I need to go to sleep seeing as my flight is very early tomorrow morning. I believe you know the way out. Goodbye."

Just before you had left for the airport, your mom had walked into the kitchen to say her goodbyes. You were really going to miss your parents.

*At the Airport*

Since you were 18 already, you were legal to fly by yourself, but your dad helped you go through all the procedures at the airport anyway. As the boarding call was announced, your dad pulled you into a hug, basically crushing you. You hugged him back, just as tight. He finally pulled back.

"Oh, kiddo. I'm gonna miss you," he whispered, his voice breaking.

"Dad, I'll be back to visit at Christmas. Don't worry. I'll be back." You picked up your carry-on and gave him one last hug. "Bye, Dad. Give
