Summer Bliss [YinWar AU]

6.

A few months have passed since I met the boys. It also meant that their time here was coming to an end soon, and they'd have to go back in just a couple of months' time.

I couldn't help but feel sad at the thought of them leaving. I never imagined I would grow this attached to them and their weird antics. Because of this, I've been less cheerful and not being like myself. I knew I should not make them worry, but I couldn't force myself to smile.

"Are you sure you're okay? You're not sick or anything?" Yin asked for the 10th time this morning.

"Yes P'Yin, I'm alright. Don't worry about me." I gave a weak smile as a last ditch attempt to appear fine. It didn't escape his sharp eyes, though.

"Stop lying. You said we're friends, right? Come on, tell me what's wrong." He demanded. His voice was stern, but filled with concern and worry underneath.

War looked up from his station too, his eyes fixed on me.

I hesitated, not knowing whether I should tell him. I didn't want to seem like a clingy or whiny child, but his pleading made me want to spill everything.

War could sense that I had lots on my mind. He narrowed his eyes, but did not say anything. He dragged his chair and sat beside me, looking intently.

"You know you can trust us, right?" War said gently.

I looked at the two of them, who were on either side of me. I felt like I was gonna cry.

"I...it's just hard to say goodbye." I said shakily, trying to fight back my tears.

War frowned. "To whom?"

"...To you guys."

I didn't say much, but they immediately understood. There was a brief moment of awkward silence as I breathed hard, trying to stop the tears from falling.

I felt a warm hand rest on my shoulder, and I looked up. Yin gave me a warm smile. "Silly, we're still here aren't we? And it's not like we're leaving to outer space, we will just be separated by oceans."

"What are you saying? That's not helping," War smacked Yin's arm.

"It's true though. We're separated by oceans but we're still under the same sky."

"Very helpful," War replied sarcastically, then turned back to me. "Listen to me. We may not be able to be here physically, but we'll be able to talk to each other over Line or Facetime. There's nothing we can't do when there's internet, no?" He assured.

I nodded.

"Alright, alright. Don't be sad anymore. Why don't we go out for dinner today after we're done here?" Yin suggested.

"That's the first useful thing you've said so far," War said approvingly.

"Please, I'm always useful."

I couldn't help but smile and roll my eyes at their conversation. We all agreed to quickly finish up our work for the day, and head to a nearby fast food chain to have dinner.

"Crap, I left my phone back at the dorm." War patted his pants, making sure that his phone wasn't in his pockets. We had just arrived at the fast food place and were standing near the entrance.

"So careless," Yin crossed his arms. "Do you wanna go back and get it?"

"Yeah. I need it in case I get messages or calls." War's brows were furrowed. "Could you come with me? I don't wanna get lost."

"You're such a kid, the dorms are just nearby." Yin sighed. He turned to look at me, raising his eyebrows. I understood what he meant, and gave him a pat on his back.
