Epilogue

"I'll miss you more."

"Stay the same, please. I don't know when I'll come back, but... stay as the Jungkook I knew from the past until now. I'll be back better, however. I'll do my best." 

"Take care, [Name]." he just says, pulling away so he could kiss your forehead with his red lips. "I love you."

"I love you, too."

"You have 50 minutes left to get there, [Name]-ah. You really should be leaving." Namjoon interrupts suddenly, tapping his wrist watch. 

"Thanks for ruining their moment, oppa." Seoyun says, since she was getting kinda jealous by the skin ship you and Jungkook shared. She was awestruck, however and she understands.

"Sorry, sorry." you apologized with a smile and gave Kookie a nod. "I'll leave now. I hope to see you guys soon." Your dad, Seoyun, Kookie, and even Namjoon gathers around you for the last hug. You felt warmth everywhere and you felt good about that. For the last time.

Afterwards, you finally leave. You run to your appropriate station since you're kinda getting late. You still plan on buying food, after all since the food in the airplane barely satisfies you and you tend to puke when you land. You quickly head to the store so you purchase some stuff. You bought chips, drinks, and other random stuff like souvenirs. It's your first time travelling alone, to be honest but you were not scared, especially since your family supports you from behind. Once thinking you have everything, you proceed to your station. 

You got there and had 30 minutes left to wait before you finally step inside the plane. Sitting comfortably on a metal chair, you suddenly remembered something-someone. You swallow hardly, your hands clenching into tight fists. No, you're not angry- you're upset. Aside from your family and friend, Jimin was the one person you were expecting to see today. A last good bye would be okay, but you got none from him today and you're depressed because of that. Just when you thought was going smoothly, he just had to ruin everything.

Well, what did you expect? Him running inside the station just so he could say bye? It's too late for that now. You're already in front of the area where the plan will be landing. Sooner or later, you'll take a step inside and leave Korea to New Zealand. You're not scared of the flight, but because having to leave everyone behind. You accepted this right from the start, but when you thought back, to Jimin, the frustrated feelings come rushing back.

"Am I ready?" you whisper particularly to no one like a crazy person. "Jungkook and the rest wished me for the best, I should be ready. I am leaving for a reason, and I should not let anything, any one stop me."

"Station 103. The plane has arrived, please proceed to the area for the boarding. I repeat: Station 103. The plane has arrived, please proceed to the area for the boarding."

The sudden announcement made you jolt up from your seat. Everyone stands up as well so they can start standing in line to get inside the plane. You stay frozen on your seat, looking at the glass door for any sign of the brown-black-haired male. Please come, Park Jimin, you think desperately, tears forming in your eyes. 

"Excuse me, ma'am but are you not gonna stand in line?" a person suddenly asks in concern since he saw how you looked lost.

"I'm.. still waiting for someone."

"Oh, okay. I hope they come soon then." 

You bite your bottom lip, hands clenching your bag straps tightly. The line lessens every now and then, making you even nervous. You soon couldn't handle it anymore and broke down right on the spot, causing a few heads to turn to you. You bring your head down and cried like there's no tomorrow. I thought you said you loved me? Don't you anymore, Park Jimin?

"Miss, we have to go now. Please calm yourself." a flight attendant suddenly approaches you.

You ignore her however and just sat frozen like a broken mess. I guess I was wrong to think that.

The attendant sighs and holds your shoulders comfortably. "Do you want us to cancel your flight-"

"No." you finally speak up, looking at her with blood-shot eyes. "I'm going. I'm sorry." you gather the courage to stand up, still sniffling, and begin to walk. 

"[Name]!"

You quickly spin around from the call, your heart stopping. There finally appears none other than Jimin. He's wearing the snapback you bought him. "Jimin..." you whisper with a shaky voice. You look at the flight attendant in desperation. "Please, can I talk to him for a moment? I promise it won't take long."

"But, miss-"

"Please!" you plead.

She sighs. "Go."

You then run out of the station and Jimin runs to you, like from the movies wherein lovers reunite. Before you know it, you throw your arms at him. "I-I thought you'd never come."

"I was caught in a traffic. I actually met with your family there and Jungkook, and this tall guy. I asked them where you were, and they luckily told me. So here I am. Jungkook actually told me he was gonna call you to inform that I arrived." Jimin explains.

You blink multiple times. "Jungkook called? Why did I not..." You soon remembered that you actually set your phone in silent when you arrived at the station because you didn't want to disturb anyone. "Ah." you say, dumb-founded.

Jimin pulls you in for a hug and squeezes your body. "I'm sorry for making you wait, at least I'm hoping that you did."

"I was, but that doesn't matter now. I'm glad you came. I'm so happy." you tell him, sighing.

You break the hug and Jimin scans you for a second. "You wore the necklace... thank you, [Name]." he says in awe. He wants to kiss you so badly and you somehow saw that in his eyes. Before you know it, you lean in and gave a him a long, passionate kiss on the lips. Jimin acts surprised at first, but he gives in and returns the kiss lovingly. Although it was the last, at least you could still experience it. You realized, the both of you realized, you still love each other. 

Jimin holds you even tighter, deepening the kiss like there's no tomorrow. He will really miss your lips a lot and your warmth. You will miss him, too of course. He wishes you the best, he wishes for you to recover. But even if you do not and the therapy crashes (hopefully, it will not) in the end, he doesn't care. He loves you in the present and he will continue feeling that way in the future. That break up was simply an excuse, it was barely real for the both of you. You still love each other very much and nothing could ever change that.

"I have to go now, Jiminie." you tell him, breaking the kiss to breathe. Your cheeks are in a bright shade of pink right now from the heat. 

"Yeah. Take care, [Name]. Stay safe at all times. Remember that I'll always be here for you even if you're far. I'm just a call, or text away." Jimin says, eye-smiling. 

You giggle, tears already dry. "Did you cry?"

"Of course I did, especially last night." he confesses, blushing. "How could I not?"

"Just asking." you say, giggling again. "Any ways, bye for real now. I'm gonna see you soon and I'll come back with a better condition, I promise." you give him one last kiss on the cheek. 

"Good bye, [Name]." Jimin bids, kissing your forehead sweetly.

With that, the both of you finally let go. 

Although you'll be far away from each other now.

Your hearts will still remain the same and will feel the same for one another.

Until next time...
