Minho got up.

Taemin propped up out of bed and looked at Minho.

They stared at each other, wondering who was going to speak first.

Minhosighed and turned around and walked towards the window.

“Where are you going?”

Taemin asked.

Minhostopped and turned slowly back to Taemin.

“Home. Because you won’t give me an answer.”

Just like that, Minho left.

Taemin watched Minho’s back disappear from view.

Taemin sighed and went back to sleep, his mind whirling with thoughts.

***

The next morning, Taemin woke up startled.

There was a taxi outside the house.

Taemin scrambled up and put his head out the window the see who it was and saw that his dad had just put in his suit case.

Taemin stared wide eyed and, taking his head back inside his room, he sprinted downstairs and out the front door.

But, it was too late.

Taemin stood there, watching the back of the taxi disappear from view, his eyes b with tears.

Suddenly, a hand with an envelope was in front of him.

Through his tears he saw that it was Saemin.

“Your father left it for you.”

Taemin looked at the envelope and then back at Saemin.

Taemin took the letter hesitantly and stared at it.

“Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes. Go get changed.”

Saemin said and walked back into the house.

Taemin stood at their garden, gazing at the letter.

Taemin didn’t know whether or not to open it so, holding onto it, he went back into the house and back to his room.

In his room, he sat on his bed and looked at the clock, his hand still clutching the letter.

6.20.

Good…I still have time.

Taemin thought to himself.

Taemin continued to look at the letter in front of him and, picking up his courage he flipped it to the back and tore it open.
