[36] growing distance

"Contact us right away once you get there."

It feels so fast. The day has come. Jimin has to leave for USA and Yoongi feels so scared. But it will be just a week, Jimin once said to him.

Yoongi could only whisper an okay, and it's not like he could change the younger's mind.

"Of course, hyung," Jimin says, and then smiles a half smile. He doesn't know what else to say since their mom and dad, and even Mingi, are looking. But Mrs. Min has a small smile, worry halfway etched on her own face as she watch the two stare at each other without even affording to do what they wanna do. "I should get going."

Right after what Jimin tells them, Mingi cries and buries her face on their mother's neck. Jimin chuckles softly, one thing Yoongi would mostly miss, and holds her in his own arms. "Hey, aren't you gonna tell oppa goodbye?" She could only cry and tell him he'll miss him and that he loves him.

"I love you too," Jimin tells Mingi, and right then after, he looks at Yoongi. He nods his head and gives Mingi to him. "Stay with this idiot while I'm gone," he whispers on her ears.

USA.

Someone is waiting for Jimin at the airport. The man calls him over and tells him his name is Park Jiyoo.

Jimin feels slightly speechless that he could only repeat the name. "Park Jiyoo?"

"Yes, and you're Jimin."

"So I'm Park Jimin?"

"You could say that."

Jimin smiles up at the man who looks like he's in his thirties. He's too overwhelmed to know and see him that his jumping heart could burst any moment. He forgot about texting Yoongi that he has gotten to US and just remembers the day after.

Days has passed and all the two boys could do was text and chat and give each other calls.

Nothing has changed, except from the fact that they don't get to see and embrace one another.

Yoongi rubs his temples, and Namjoon comes beside him.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Fucking time zone got me staying up all night."

Namjoon laughs. "At least you too are doing fine without each other."

Yoongi packs his things inside his bag and stands up in a quick. He bumps into Jeongguk on the way out the main gate.

"Where you headed to?"

"Inside. About to get some books."

"You alone? Where have you been?"

"Just somewhere," Jeongguk answers, unable to look straight into Yoongi's eyes. "Bye."

Jeongguk runs but Yoongi grabs his wrist, pulling him back.

"Jeongguk."

"What," the younger accidentally answers in an irritated manner.

"Have you been crying?" Yoongi forces Jeongguk to meet his gaze and he's right, Jeongguk has been crying. Quickly, his heart fell. "What's wrong? You can tell me."

"It was the dust," Jeongguk laughs, but obvious enough that he's faking it. "It got in my eyes while I was running."

Yoongi could only nod. Maybe he knows the reason, but he's not so sure because never did Jeongguk had an interest on anyone.

"You can tell me anything."

"Even if I tell you, there's nothing you can do." Hands are gripping tight on Jeongguk's bag, and he realizes he sounded rude. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I understand."

Jeongguk offers a bow. Then he feels something that quickly sat on his head that must be Yoongi's hand patting him.
