The Goodbye
Kris's DepartureKris walked alone to the airport; the EXO members refused to see him off.
“Goodbye EXO. Thanks for supporting me for so long,” Kris whispered as he entered the airport.
Meanwhile at the dorms, the members sulked around; some stared at the clock, others gazed out the window. Tao was counting down to Kris’s departure.
“He should be at the airport now. Now… he should be checking his luggage.”
Tao burst into tears, and Baekhyun patted him. The EXO members went to crowd around Tao and his watch.
“One more minute until he gets on that plane,” Chanyeol said.
The EXO members watched the tiny watch’s thin arm move slowly around in a circle, until it completed one revolution.
Suho whispered, “There Kris goes.”
Tao cried, “Yi Fan! Why’d you go? You were my best friend…”
Sehun kept patting Tao and muttered, “It’s okay, Tao.”
The members knew they were not okay. They huddled together and could not stop crying for Kris’s return.
