Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between

Good Luck, Oppa

I felt my chest begin to tighten, as the news sunk in. Myungsoo's eyes frantically searched my face for some kind of response. The longer the silence, the tenser it got. My thoughts and emotions continued to fight eachother. My mind was racing. Before my emotions could make me respond any other way, I hugged him.
"Oppa, congratulations. Im so proud of you." I said in to his ear, and pulled away. I saw his shoulders drop down and his eyebrows unfurrow as he began to relax.
"When and where are you leaving to?" I asked. I didn't know what else to say. I continued to smile, but the sadness only grew stronger.
"Sunday. I'm going to Japan for a year, then i'm coming back. I don't know what will happen when I return though." He softly responded. I nodded and sighed. Sunday. That's only two days away.
"Yah, why didnt you tell me sooner?" I softly punched his arm. He smiled half-heartedly, and just shrugged.
"I was scared I guess."
"Oppa, I know how badly you want this. You know i'll always support you!" I assured. I meant every word I said, but my words were still empty. If I had to be completely honest with myself-- I didnt want him to leave. Not because I liked him. But because I needed him. He was my bestfriend. He always caught me when I fell, and was always my support. With him gone, I dont know what i'd do.
We stood there for a while, niether of us knowing what to say next. The sun began to fall, and the stars began to shine. The streetlights were humming as they began turning on. It's at least 6:50. I looked up to the stars,
"No matter the distance, you better not forget me, oppa." I said, and looked at him.
"Of course I wont. I'll contact you everyday while i'm gone. I'll make sure to send in things to you once in a while." He replied while staring into the sky. He closed his eyes for a moment, then looked down to his shoes.
"Tomorrow's my last day. Wanna come over and help me finish up packing?" He asked.
"Sure." I simply replied. "It's getting late. I'm gonna head home. Goodnight, oppa." I finished and waved good-bye.
Once I got home, I ran up the stairs and into the bathroom. I hopped into the shower and turn the warm water on. I stood still as the water hit my head and flowed down to the rest of my body. In that moment, I let myself express my sadness. Tears flowed down my cheeks, emerging with the water flowing down from the shower head. I realized how weak I must look right now. I put my hands over my eyes and stopped myself from crying. I'm not going to let myself break down. When he leaves, I promise to take care of myself. I won't let him worry about me. This, I promised myself.

The next day, I went to his house. I knocked on the door, and his umma let me in.
"Min ji-ah, thanks for coming over." she smiled at me. I nodded and she told me to go up to myungsoo's room.
When I opened the door, he was sitting on the floor, taping up a box.
"Yah, hurry up. I still have a lot of boxes to fill." He said without looking up. I clicked my tongue and shook my head. I walked over to help him pack.

"That was tiring." I said, and threw myself onto his bed. He laughed at me and sat at the emtpy spot next to me. I looked around his once filled room. We moved all the boxes downstairs. The only thing left was his bed and desk. It felt so surreal. I was so excited for him, I was. But my heart still ached at the thought of him leaving.
"Myungsoo-ah. You're gonna make it big, I just know it. Someday, you're gonna be on stage while every girl in the crowd screams your name. I know all the girls will like you, theres not a single girl at our school that doesnt like you. And if you get put into a group, you'll be friends with a handful of handsome boys. Don't forget to introduce them to me. You'd do that for your bestfriend right?" I rambled on. He chuckled and threw a pillow in my face.
"You sound a little too excited about me leaving. Are you planning to replace me?" He sarcastically accused.
"Yah, I could never do that even if I wanted too! pabo." I pushed him. We laughed softly and sat there for a moment.
"Oppa, sing a song." He questionably looked at me and I laughed.
"Please, Oppa. Just one song. I want to be able to tell the girls you sang to me. The look on their face would be priceless." I said. He laughed and pulled out his guitar.
"Arasso." he said. He began strumming and not too long after, his voice followed. It was very angelic. I closed my eyes as he carried the tune. He's tottally going to be a hit.

The next day, I visited myungsoo's place before he left. When I arrived, there was still couple of hours left until he had to go. We decided to play one round of basketball, in which he schooled me in.
"Yah, This isnt my sport. If we were playing soccer, i'd be running circles around you." I challenged as i picked up my water bottle. If this was any other day, he would've accepted it and we would've played a round of soccer, but time had already ran out, and it was time for him to leave.
I helped pack the final boxes into the car.
"Min Ji-ah. You better stay out of trouble. Don't forget to do your homework. And don't leave your phone at home, so you always have a way to contact someone. Also, stop forgetting your keys in the door. Thats a bad habit." He lectured as I walked him to the car door.
"Yah, I can take care of myself." I retaliated. He chuckled and ruffled my hair. His father called him, and it was time for him to leave. He hopped into his car, closed the door behind him and rolled down his window.

"Good luck, Oppa! Fighting!" I said. The engine started, and the car began to leave. I waved at him one final time and he smiled back. His car pulled away and I stood there, watching his car drive farther away, until I could no longer see it.
