“When will you be leaving?” Byul asked packing Mino’s bags

“Day after tomorrow” Mino said sighing the whole time

“Yah it’s a tour for god’s sake, be happy and stop sulking” Byul chuckled

“I wish you’d come too~” he pouted

“Which tutor accompanies a band on tour?” she asked put in a pair of sweats

“Winner’s tutor” Mino said as Byul playfully rolled her eyes

“And when will you be back?” Byul asked

“Most probably after 2 months or so” Mino said as Byul nodded putting some more clothes in the bag

“Ah…and I’ve got another job offer as a tutor for some boyband” Byul said

“Jinjja? Which boyband? Ikon?” Mino asked

“I don’t know yet, the manager called me and told me that he’d come for an appointment soon” Byul said

“Jinjja? Does it have to be a boyband, seriously?” Mino muttered

“And you shouldn’t overwork ok? You have a full job now and I don’t think tutoring is necessary” Mino said as Byul looked at him

“Of course I have to, I love doing it” she said

“Just like you love what you do” she added

“White or black?” Byul asked holding two shirts

“White” Mino smiled

“Aigoo look at this guy, making his dongsaeng do all his packing” Mrs Song, Mino’s mom, said entering the room
“Eomma” Byul smiled as Mino’s mom hugged her
“How have you been? We didn’t see each other for weeks” Mino’s mom said

“I’ve been great eomma, I applied for a job in Hanlim and so I was busy with that” Byul said

“Did you get selected?” Mrs Song asked
“Neh eomma, I’ll be joining from next week” Byul said

“Aigoo and you didn’t deliver such big news to us?” she asked

“Mianhae eomma…the results were out only today” Byul smiled apologetically

“Eh arasso…I’ll cook something nice as a celebration then” Mrs Song said excitedly

“Jinjja eomma? I’d love that” Byul said happily as Mrs Song looked at her son

“And what did you get for her?” she asked making Byul laugh a bit

“I did get something” Mino muttered as Byul looked at him

“I’ll see you in the kitchen then” Mrs Song said exiting the room

“Neh~” Byul smiled waving

“I was planning to give it to you when we leave but eomma spoilt it all” Mino said a bit annoyed

“Yah did you really buy something for me?” Byul asked as Mino nodded

“Of course~ wait” he said searching for something in his drawer

“Jaaan” he said handing her a small black box

Byul opened the box to find a bracelet inside engraved with the words – Mino & Byul forever

“I got one too” Mino said showing her his bracelet

“I love it…thank you oppa” she said hugging him as Mino hugged her back.

*I love you too* Mino smiled.
