You pass the examination on the teacher's table before going back to your seat and put your pen inside. You hang it on your shoulder and went out of the room, leaving the remaining students that are still answering their exams.

You walk alone to the grass field and sat on a bench that was under a big tree. Jeon Jungkook's suspension was done since last month, but even after that it still feels like he's on a suspension since you never saw him in the campus.

Somehow, it feels like he's avoiding you. But maybe, you're just assuming things. He should be busy with the past month since he's a senior.

You watch the field, the wind blows like an ice touching your skin as December nears. You can only see a couple of students walking on the field while the whole campus is silent, classrooms filled with anxious students. Your flight is almost near.

You remembered the last talk you had with Jimin on this same bench last week. It's been a long time since you've been left with only him.

"Your reputation is finally clean. So what about your issue with Jungkook? What do you plan to do with that?" He asked suddenly that you couldn't answer immediately.

You avoided his gaze. You haven't talked about Jeon Jungkook. You didn't want to talk about him because his name makes your heart ache.

"Y/n, you can't just leave everything unresolved. You have to clear things up with him so that you can finally move on and start a new life." He said.

He was right. If you really wanted to move on and fix yourself, you have to atleast talk to him and have a closure. You admitted that you didn't gave him any time to explain himself because of your emotions winning, but even though you gave him his time, you know that everything will all lead to this. You going away, to mend yourself.

The only thing that makes you wonder at night is, would you listen and change your mind about him if he explain his side? Maybe not, because nothing would change. He still hurt you, he still broke you.

But now, that you wanted to seek the peace of mind you longed for, you'll give him this chance to explain, to finally move on and heal. So you got up and walk to the Journalist's room.

You knock first at the door before you enter. You walk closer to a table where you sa feet set above the table. You saw Yoongi sitting on his swivel chair with a cap on his face, his arms crossed against his chest, he snores silently.

You sighed. You walk back to the table that you were assigned to use. You reach for a box on the corner and slowly set your things on the table in the box. After you fix your papers, you'll be moving to Australia. It's getting nearer but it feels like it will took ages for it to happen.

After cleaning the table, it felt so empty in your place. Even your post it were gone now, the only thing you left was the pencil holder and the files on the side of your table that you did. You smiled sadly, thinking of the days where you spent most of your hours in the school working and sitting here. The times where you went home when the school's almost close.

You walk to Yoongi's desk again with your box full of your stuff, he didn't even change his position from earlier. You set your box on top of his table, you knock on his table. His snoring stopped, his hand moved to take off the cap covering his face.

His eyes were squinting as he look at you and his lips were frowning. You smiled at him, then you smiled a letter on his desk. You saw his eyes follow your letter.

"What's that?" He asked, putting his feet down the desk.

"My goodbye letter for you." You said.

He put his arms down from his chest and took your letter. "You're going somewhere?" He asked when he saw the box on his desk.

You nodded, "I'm moving away."

"Oh. I'll lose another member then? Okay, then. Good luck on your new journey, Y/n." His lips stretched into a smile that you returned.

"Before I leave, can you do me a favor? If you ever see... Jungkook, can you give him this?" You said before giving him a small piece of paper. "Tell him that I'll be waiting for him."

He nodded and you walk out of that room. You went back to the bench on the field. You saw Jimin and Wendy sitting there across each other, you grin widely. You put down the box on the table loudly before inhaling deeply.

"So how was the exam?"

"Hard as my shit this morning." Jimin snorted.

"Your asshole's probably dead by now." Wendy threw back.

"Indeed." Jimin nodded.

You sat next to Wendy and looked at Jimin in front of you. You saw how puffy his eyes were. He's probably sad and cried last night thinking that you'll leave soon. You smiled sadly. Wendy's doing great keeping her emotions though, her eyes were normal, she and Jun got back together so Jun's probably helping her cope up with everything.

Jimin will continue his plans on studying in Busan, though he'll be alone there, he's determined to do it because he's been longing to attend a University that offers great course for dancing. Wendy will be left alone here to finish her studies and will soon fly to Canada to study college.

You'll go to different paths earlier than you expected, earlier than most do. And you didn't expect it to come this early but there's nothing you can do, because in the end everything will eventually lead to this. It's sad but you'll just do it earlier than others.

"We should visit Y/n this summer to see if she's doing great there." Jimin said.

You chuckled, seeing how sad his eyes were. "Don't miss me too much, Park Jimin."

He pouted. "You're my best bitch you know that?" He said and you nodded.

You saw how his eyes watered making it all feel heavy for you. You saw some students getting out from their rooms. Everyone's almost done with their exams and getting ready to have fun and throw a party for finishing the exams.

"What about me, shorty? You know I've been noticing that you like Y/n more than me." Wendy rolled her eyes, her wavy blonde hair tied in a messy bun with some strand down on both sides of her face.

"That's because she's leaving. Don't worry, you'll be my best bitch once you leave for Canada too." Jimin teased, grinning at Wendy.

This time, its you that rolled her eyes. You crossed your arms against your chest and your eyes caught the boy that's marching towards your table. You smiled seeing him take large steps, the obvious excitement displayed on his face.

"I didn't ace the test." Kim Taehyung said when he reached your table, grinning from ear to ear.

Taehyung did what he told you. He booked a ticket a two months after your flight. He also helped you find a place to stay in Australia, one that's near to your school and to their mansion. He had also introduced you to some of his friends that would keep you company while he's away.

He say beside Jimin and rested his chin on his palm. "Did you pack your things already?" He asked.

"Half of it. Wendy will help me pack the remaining since we'll have a sleep over tonight." You said.

"And Jimin's not invited." Wendy said then she laughed.

"My house is just near Y/n's. We can have dinner at my house and you can stay over at my house, Jimin." Taehyung suggested that made Jimin stuck his tongue out of Wendy.

"Get jealous Wendy, I'll be sleeping in a palace tonight." Jimin snorted.

"We should buy pizza then and some other snacks that we can eat at his house." Wendy suggested.

"We have food in our house but if you want to, we can." Taehyung said.

"Let's go then." Jimin stood up, grabbing his backpack.

Wendy and Taehyung followed. Taehyung's hand automatically held the box that you carried minutes ago. You watch them get ready to leave.

Taehyung noticed you didn't move on your seat. You smiled at him, "I'm waiting for him. I took Jimin's advice." You said.

He nodded and smiled. "Okay, I trust you. We'll wait on you at my house." He said before following Jimin and Wendy.

You glance at the watch on your wrist and saw the time.

2:54 p.m.

The wind blew on the open field and you almost shiver. You remembered what you wrote at the small piece of paper that you gave Yoongi.

5 p.m. I'll wait for you at the grass field so that we can talk. -Y/n.

You'll give him this chance to tell you everything. To tell you the truth so that you wouldn't be lost at the darkness after you leave. To explain his side. To know what to really believe in. And you really hope he wouldn't waste this chance.

The students passing by the field to get to the gate to go home increased as time went by. You saw the smiles on their faces while your face remained sad. The classrooms are almost empty, you see some of the teachers getting out of the rooms too.

You swallowed. All you have to do is wait for him a little bit more. But an hour already passed by and there's still no sign of him on the field.

Your brows furrowed. Maybe Yoongi didn't find Jungkook and couldn't give him the note. But Yoongi always oblige on favors and he's sure to do it without failing. Plus you told him that you'll wait for him until 5 p.m. and it's just four in the afternoon.

You inhaled. You're getting impatient. And you shouldn't. You are giving him this chance so you should wait for him no matter what.

You glance at your watch. 5 p.m.

Your eyes wandered at the grass field, almost all of the students went home. You can count the students passing by the field with your fingers now and there's still no sigh of him.

You doubt your eyes missed him. You'll see him even if there's a hundred students pass by your eyes cause that's how it works. You can recognize him even if you only see the ends of his eyelashes. That's how well you memorized him.

5:30 p.m.

The skies are orange now and minutes from now it will get darker but you sat still on your seat. Maybe he's just late. But nobody's passing by the field anymore and the school is now silent.

Maybe, he's just late. You tried to convince yourself.

The wind blew once again. And this time you shiver. The wind gets colder at night now that December is getting near. It's sad that this is the first time you won't get to watch the first snow at Korea since you are leaving.

6 p.m.

You sighed and look down to your hands that are now cold from the winter air. You finally stood up after hours of just sitting there waiting for Jeon Jungkook to come and show up to tell you his side. To explain his side. But maybe he just doesn't want to. You put your hands inside of your pocket then walk towards the gate.

He failed you once again. You look up at the dark sky, maybe you just have to believe what destiny gives you. Maybe you just have to believe the things that he showed you even though you didn't want to.

Jeon Jungkook never did like you or maybe along the way he did, he did like you but it wasn't enough for him to choose you.

But you'll never know it, you'll never know Jungkook's side because he never really did explain. He never tried to explain anything or clear things out between you two now that you gave him the chance. And maybe there are things that are meant to be left like that. There are things that are meant to be left unknown. There are things that are meant to be buried without knowing it.

And there are things that are meant to be forgotten without any closure. And sadly, Jeon Jungkook's one of them.
