"Thanks, Taehyung," Gun smiled as he gripped my hand, warmly shaking it. I gave a nod and replied, "You're welcome. Keep her safe, okay?" Gun patted my shoulder and walked away with a smile. Then Junsoo walked towards me and uttered, "I know I've been hard on you but just know that I appreciate your help." I half smiled and shook his hands. I watched as he tucked his hands into his pockets and walked towards the jet plane, ducking his head as he stepped inside.

"Taehyung." I turned my head to see Jaeho, approaching me with a sad expression. I chuckled and gripped his shoulder, pulling him into a hug. Jaeho wrapped his arms around my back and squeezed me tightly.

"Can't you stay, Taehyung? It won't be the same without you," Jaeho mumbled into my coat. I sighed and replied, "I'm sorry, Jaeho. You know I can't have a permanent position."

"But...how about Aera?" He whispered, releasing my grip as he looked towards the ground with sad eyes. "She'll feel really lonely without you." I sighed and closed my eyes, ducking my head down. "I know, Jaeho."

During the time I've spent with these people, I learnt many things. I'm not the rude and uptight person I was a couple of months ago, I've grown to become a happy and loving person. The person that was always caged inside me was now freed.

Watch over them while I'm not here, Jiae.

"I'm going to miss you," I muttered, squeezing him tighter. "I know you'll grow one day into a big man. Look after your family, okay?" Kitae nodded and grinned, "I will!"

After Kitae ran off, there was one person left. I looked in front of me to see Aera walking towards me. She met my eyes and smiled. "Are you feeling better?" She asked, rubbing the cast over my injured arm. I warmly smiled and nodded.

We stood there in silence. Both of us didn't know what to say, we didn't know how to say goodbye.

"Let's just get this
