Saying good bye was harder than we thought. Now that the sun was past the horizon, I new I had to leave.

I stood up, Taehyung following suit. I started to feel really emotional, I could feel the tears welling up. The smile he gave me only made it worse.

There was no hiding this time. "Kook? Kook don't cry, it's ok. Come here."

Before I knew it I was wrapped up in his arms, I could feel how big my jacket was on him. My face found it's way to his neck, he was warm and I felt safe with him.

"Kook it's ok, you don't need to cry." He whispered.

"But I do! I want to see you again, I don't want you to die before I get the chance!" I said, distress radiating off of me.

I could feel the panic start to rise in him. "Kook you know that I—"

"No! I don't want you to die Taehyung, I want to get to know you and I want—"

"Ok! Ok... if I, if I promise you that I won't do it, at least not for a while, will you please calm down? I don't like seeing you this way Kook." He sounded desperate.

I sniffled and tried to slow my breathing. "Yeah... yeah that would be, that's, that's good. Thank you."

We didn't say anything for a while after that, we stayed together in the embrace but said nothing. But time was still moving on, no intention of waiting for us. "Kook I have to get ready for school, you should too. I'll see you in a couple days, ok?"

"Ok." And with that, he let go of me. He started to walk back up the hill of sand, but soon stopped, going to take off the jacket I'd lended him.

"Here's your jacket, thank you for letting me borrow it."

I stopped him. "Keep it, you can give it back to me in a couple days." There was meaning behind the sentiment that we both chose to avoid.

He nodded and started walking back, waving once he got to the top.

I was sad to see him go, but we'd see each other soon enough.

That, I knew for sure.
