With You

Keep Him Close

I'm leaving on Friday.

That's in four days. I didn't check the letter good enough. I didn't realize I would be leaving this soon.
And of course it had to be on the same Friday where Kookie and I were planning to spend the whole day together. Just great. I hope he understands. It might be possible to maybe move our special day to Thursday or something?

No, Jungkook works a full shift on Thursdays. Jungkook works with Yoongi at a coffee shop. Yes the same coffee shop where we first hung out. Jungkook and Yoongi both decided college was not their thing.

Maybe on Wednesday? But I'm hanging out with Jimin that day.

Tuesday maybe? Yes! I'm free that day. And hopefully so is Kookie.

I called him.

"Hey Tae!"

"Um Kookie?"

"Yes?"

"Turns out I'm leaving sooner that I expected. This Friday actually."

I heard a sigh through the phone. I really didn't want to leave him. But I really want to study in Australia.

"You know Taehyung, I really didn't want to tell you this but I don't want you to go! I know it's selfish of me but don't leave me! Two years is too long!"

I could tell he was crying or at least trying not to. I cried too.

"I'm sorry Jungkook! I don't want to leave you but this is a one in a lifetime opportunity! I-"

I was cut off by a beep. He hung up.

That night I cried. I cried a lot. Did he hate me now?

Jungkook's Point Of View

I shouldn't have gotten mad. But I did. There's no going back. I want to apologize. I want to hug him. Keep him close to my heart.

I didn't eat. I ignored Jimin. I ignored Yoongi, who came to visit Jimin. I was mad at myself for getting angry at Taehyung. I don't deserve him. The tears were uncontrollable. We shared a deep connection. We've only dated for about maybe eight months in total. But we were inseparable. I hope I didn't upset him to much. I hope he doesn't hate me.

I just wanted to keep him close.
