"You got a haircut," I tell him.

He ruffles his hair before fluffing the sides as he smiles wide.

"Ahhh, isn't it too short?"

I grin and shake my head.

"Nooo, it's cute."

He playfully slumps and tilts his head at me, "because that's what I'm going for...'Cute'."

"Well, what are you going for?" I tease.

"The next owner of an exhibition."

I place my hand ontop of my baby bump and smile as the baby kicks at my hand.

"You can do it. We believe in you."

Taehyung laughs lightly, his eyes forming cute little half-moons.

"My little Bomul, wait for dad, alright? Don't rush because I won't be there! Just 3 more weeks!"

Three more weeks until Taehyung has a break from school.

But then he's got four more.

"How's everyone by the way?" He asks.

Since he's left, I've been staying in touch with everyone more.

"Well the guys are all busy at the cafe along with Yeri, my girls are almost always over my house. Oh and guess who's dati-"

All of a sudden, Taehyung gets jumped by someone I can't see.

Taehyung laughs as he leans forward from the weight behind him.

It doesn't take me long to identify the laugh as Jimin's.

"Hi Jennnniee!" Jimin runs his hand through his hair as he combs it back.

I put up a tiny wave as I try not to act all disappointed that he cut into our skype time.

"Taehyung, Irene's waiting for us downstairs."

I bite the inside of my cheek at the mention of a girl's name.

Calm down, Jennie.

Taehyung raises his eyebrows and then nods, "Sorry, Jennie. We gotta go."

I swallow a lump in my throat.

Who is she?

Why are they meeting so late?

"B-but can't we just have a little more time...?"

Taehyung's eyes soften.

I really miss him.

"Irene's the director of the department and she invited us to dinner. I should go since I'm hoping I can network with her."

Relax, Jennie, it's only for a little while.

Nothing will change.

Right?

"Nothing's going to change, Jennie." 

I look up at him, startled he read my mind.

He continues to stare at me with starry eyes and immediately my racing heart calms down.

"Promise?" I ask.

Taehyung closes his eyes as he hums,

"I promise."
