Its already monday, 3am in the morning to be exact. At this time, Tae should be getting ready to go back to the camp for training.

But up to now, he was still sitting on the bed, staring at the blank space.

Yoongi was not on his bed, and he’s worried why.—

Jennie was still sleeping, and gladly she is. She’s too young to experience losing a parent, and Tae felt so bad for it.

Three small knocks were heard from the door, it opened. “Hey, are you going?” Bogum asked.

He’s already in his trainee uniform.—

Tae nodded his head, “I’ll be a bit late.” He said and Bogum grew worried.

“I’m praying you won’t get caught by our trainer.” He chuckled then left.

Tae decided to stand up and went to the kitchen to atleast prepare some breakfast for them.—

He’s not a great cook, but he can decently cook.

Not long after, he heard the door opened, and Yoongi was panting for breath.

“Hyung?” He went to see Yoongi who’s covered in sweat.

“Where have you been? Are you okay?” Tae asked.—

Jennie was woken up by the noise, “What’s going on?” She asked with her morning voice.

Yoongi held up his hand to breathe. He sat on the chair and drank water to replenish his thirst.

“I went to the nearest port here, I heard you and Bogum’s conversation last night.”—

Tae was intrigued, he then sat beside him. “The next ship later at 10PM is towards Australia. We can catch up before school starts again.”

Yoongi said, Tae wanted to go, but there’s one problem. “Hyung...we don’t have money...”

Yoongi took out something from his pocket.—

It was money — its a lot — maybe enough to buy them a house, but paying the ship fee is enough for it too.

Tae was surprised at the sudden amount of money. “Where did you get this?” He asked.

“I saved it from my income, I know I can use this one day.”

“Why can’t you just come with us?” Jennie cried, almost throwing a tantrum. Her heart felt so heavy.

They’re now in the port, there are a lot of people. And for their safety, they wore some scarfs to cover their faces.

“She’s right, just come with us Tae.”—

But as much as Tae wanted to go with them, he can’t.

“You’ll be much safer there! That bastard can’t hurt you—“

He hushed his sister, and Jennie started crying. “I wanted to but I can’t. I have my reasons and I can’t tell you. But please, please take care of yourselves.”—

Jennie hugged him and cried in his arms. Yoongi came for the hug too, because what if this is the last time?

“Change your names if needed, so that Jaewon can’t trace the both of you anymore.” Tae said.

Jennie pulled away from the hug, looking at one direction.—

Tae looked at the direction that she’s looking at, and his heart broke as soon as he saw Jimin.

It hurts him, because what if the future will change? What if it’ll affect Jennie and Jimin’s story and Jimin — Tae’s best friend won’t be born anymore?

That just hurts.—

“Go.” Tae told her, and Jennie was confused. “Huh?”

Tae gave her an assuring smile. “I know I told you that ‘no-boys-until-graduation’. But I’m not gonna stop you now. Tell him everything you want before the ship arrives.”

Jennie can never be so touched.—

She immediately ran to Jimin and they hugged each other.

“She’s really a grown up now.” Yoongi commented, he felt like a parent since he witnessed how his sister grew up from being a little baby — and now a lady.

“Hyung...I’m sorry. It’s my fault...”—

Yoongi shook his head. “I want you to promise me that you won’t blame yourself anymore, even after we leave.”

Yoongi extended his arm and pulled out his pinky. Tae giggled, he thought its childish, but its pure.

He stuck up his pinky and clung it with Yoongi. “Promise.”—

Not long after, the ship to Australia arrived, and people are starting to hop in. It was really tall, and huge.

“We’ll see each other again right?” Jennie asked, wanting for an assurance.

Its just a simple question, but he doesn’t know how to answer it.
