Chapter 1 - The Long Haul

Exodus

Chapter 2 - Here

Word count: 2k

Moon Yuri loves train rides and sitting for long durations of time, which is why the trip to Oakwood College was a blessing in disguise to the girl who hadn’t had a wink of sleep for the past few weeks because her acceptance letter happened to have lost its way in the mail and only got to her a week before admissions ended. She had approximately two weeks to submit her application, pack up and leave everything behind her. The easiest part was actually the last thing, which she did with no hesitations.

Oakwood College has been her dream school since freshmen year when she came across an ad posted on their billboard for the seniors. They offer the best courses in the country, and that wasn’t even the best thing yet: it was being away from home. Yuri’s legs felt like jelly when she read the acceptance letter. She thought for sure she hadn’t gotten in. But, miracles proved to be true and now as she sat on the train to her new school, she couldn’t help but smile to herself.

“Sorry, is this seat taken? Everywhere else is taken,” a voice disrupts her train of thoughts.

Yuri looks up to see a girl with long dark hair, her locks are clipped to the side and she wore a soft smile on her face.

“Of course,” Yuri gestured to the seat next to hers and the girl beamed before setting her things down and taking a seat. “I’m Jeong Seoyun. Are you attending Oakwood too?” the girl pointed at the school sticker Yuri had smacked onto her suitcase. She smiled, “Yeah! Nice to meet you, Seoyun. I’m Moon Yuri,”

“Sophomore?”

“Yeah, you?”

“Ditto. No one really moves during sophomore year. Well, except some. But, what’s your reason… if you don’t mind?” Seoyun had a vibe to her that Yuri couldn’t explain. She was warm, but cool at the same time. She felt like autumn. “I didn’t receive my letter last year. Oakwood contacted me two weeks ago asking why I didn’t enroll,” Yuri explained.

Seoyun looked perplexed. “You must have outstanding grades, then. Oakwoods doesn’t even respond to emails, let alone make them to personally contact people,” The two laugh and Yuri denied the compliment. In her old school, there was nothing else to focus on but studies. Which is how she managed to become the top in all her subjects, and graduated as valedictorian.

“What do you major in?” the girl relaxed her back against the seat. “Film,” Yuri answered. Seoyun nodded.

“That’s really cool. I know someone from that department. I take up nursing. Sounds boring, I know,”

“No way, that sounds awesome. I wouldn’t survive one semester in that course, though. Can’t handle blood and needles at all,” Yuri sniggered and Seoyun cracked into a smile. “Thanks. And that’s too bad, I hope you’ll be okay during vaccination day,”

“What now?”

“Vaccination day. Oakwood requires them once a year,”

Yuri looked at Seoyun with eminent fear written on her face and the girl burst into laughter. “I’m kidding! You should’ve seen your face, Moon Yuri. Hilarious,” Seoyun points at Yuri who’d taken a relieved breath.

The two spend the next two hours of the train ride talking and joking about and Yuri has never been happier to have found a new friend already.

“Which building are you in? If you’re in Beverly then we could go together since that’s where I room,” Yuri and Seoyun had gotten off the train and were now walking to the front gates of what would be called their home away from home for the next three years. “I got assigned to Athena, actually… is that far from Beverly?” Yuri pouted. She already didn’t want to be separated from her friend.

“That’s right next to Beverly!”

Yuri follows Seoyun into the large campus and they walk the path along the field and several school buildings until they finally reach their respective dorm houses. “Here’s Beverly and… over there, is your home sweet home,” Seoyun points to the similar looking building beside the one they stood in front of. The two exchange numbers and Yuri thanks Seoyun for accompanying her. She takes her bags and walks up to the now terrifying looking building. It was only scary because now, she had to face it alone.

But according to the dean, when she’d spoken to her on the phone, Yuri’s roommate wouldn’t be arriving until second semester due to some personal business. Which is why Yuri was grateful and relieved to have met Seoyun.

She carries her suitcase up the flight of stairs and looked around to look for her room. To her delight, she finds it right away, right by the stairs. Yuri took the key in her pocket and unlocked the room, revealing a fairly spacious room complete with two beds, two dressers and a closet for each person. In the middle of the room, was a door to the terrace.

She takes the bed on the right, and puts her stuff down to unpack.

Yuri was just about done unpacking when her phone buzzed in her pocket. She takes it out and reads the message she received from her dad.

Hi, pumpkin. How is college life so far?

Barely started, just moved in.

Knew you’d fit right in! Goodluck, kiddo.

Yuri rolled her eyes and scoffed at her dad’s half-assed text, throwing her phone to her bed and putting her last set of clothes into the closet and sliding the suitcase underneath her bed. Three knocks sounded from the door and Seoyun’s head pops in before Yuri could say come in.

“Hey, newbie. All settled in, I see,” Seoyun makes her way inside and Yuri spots a girl behind her. “This is Lee Minjae, my roommate,” Seoyun gestures to the stranger who had her eyes glued to her phone, typing rapidly. “Hi! Yuri, right? It’s nice to meet you,” Minjae was busy with her phone, but she shot a Yuri a small smile, which the girl returned. “Likewise, Minjae,”

“I see you took Yeeun’s old room,” Seoyun played with the curtains of the windows with her fingers before taking a seat on the edge of Yuri’s bed.

“Oh you know my roommate? The dean said she’d be here next sem,” Yuri shut her closet door and the two girls behind her exchanged looks. “The dean said that?” Minjae asked, suddenly not interested in her phone. “Yeah,” Yuri assured. “Do you know her?”

“She’s a close friend,” was all Minjae says. Yuri nods, placing her hands on either side of her hips.

“Hungry?” Seoyun deliberately changes the subject. Both Minjae and Yuri nod and the three girls pile out of the room and down the stairs, on their way to the dining hall.

The sun was just setting and you can see it from where the three girls walked. But Yuri couldn’t enjoy the view of it, when a rogue soccer ball came hurling straight at her head from out of nowhere followed by the indistinct yelling of boys, presumably the ones responsible for it.

“Omg, Yuri! Are you okay?” Seoyun and Minjae’s concerned faces is all Yuri can see from where she lie on the ground. “Don’t worry,” Yuri managed to say through the pain. “I’ll live,”

Amidst the chaos, Yuri could hear the voice of a man. “I am so sorry. Renjun’s a complete jackass and can’t play soccer for shit-“

“Don’t blame this on Renjun now,”

“Jesus, Seoyun. Sorry your boyfriend couldn’t play for shit,” the voice spoke again.

Yuri closes her eyes, trying to get her world to stop spinning, before she’s pulled up from the ground by an impressively great strength. “Wow, Seoyun you’re strong,” she commented on it, truly believing Seoyun could pull her up so easily, but she was wrong. When she opens her eyes once more, it wasn’t in fact Seoyun, but a boy with dark hair and an encaptivating smile.

“I’m not Seoyun, but thank you,” he chuckled. Yuri rubbed her temples, groaning at herself. “Sorry. I really thought-“ she can’t continue her sentence as she couldn’t help but laugh at herself.

“I’m Jeno, what’s your name?” the boy introduces himself.

“Yuri,” she responds. “My name is Yuri,”

“The name’s just as pretty as the person,” Jeno comments and Yuri feels heat rushing to her cheeks. The boy laughs, finding Yuri getting flustered an amusing sight. Behind him, another boy had come rushing in, apologizing profusely. “Are you alright? I’m really sorry, Jeno told me to just kick and I did,” the boy who Yuri guessed was named Renjun came into her view as he pushed Jeno out of the way.

“I’m fine! Don’t worry,” Yuri laughs it off, despite feeling the beating of her heart through her head, which to her knowledge, isn’t supposed to happen, but she didn’t want to be dramatic in front of these new people. Renjun gives her a smile, before turning to Seoyun behind him and placing his arms around her shoulder. “And how are you, my princess?” he cooed.

“Ugh, get a room. Come on, Yuri. You’re fine, yeah? Jeno go take your ball and leave!” Minjae scowls at the boy who raises his hand in defeat. “Yes, coach,” he joked. Jeno shoots Yuri a wink before jogging off, making sure to drag Renjun with him which left the girls to continue their disrupted plan to eat.

“Listen, Yuri. Don’t get yourself tangled up with Lee Jeno now. He’s big trouble,” Seoyun says, linking arms with Yuri who was just finishing up a juicebox. “Why not?” Yuri gulped, too shy to admit she found him a bit cute. “Trust me. He’ll make you feel like you’re on top of the world, then leave you to fall face flat to the ground once it becomes too much for him,” explained Seoyun. “That sounds awfully detailed, Seoyun,” Yuri inspected Seoyun’s face in the moonlight. She looked stunning, her long dark hair framed her features well and her lips were always curled into a smile. Yuri’s eyes flew to Minjae, who was once again glued to her phone. Her hair fell over her face, which was illuminated by the light from her phone.

“Oh shut up, Yuri. Me and Jeno? No way! I’ve just seen it happen to countless of girls,”

Yuri made sure to make a mental note of Seoyun’s advice.

The next day, Yuri was surprised to find out that she could no longer go on her social media and that the college apparently modified the Wi-Fi settings in which the students needed a certain password only given to teachers, to access any site they wanted. She discovers this when her Instagram stops loading as she had her cereal with Minjae and Seoyun.

“How about on weekends? Do they… remodify it then?” Yuri asked, desperation in her voice. Seoyun shook her head no, “Don’t worry, we got that covered,” she had a sly grin on her face. Yuri couldn’t ask any further questions as Seoyun got up to put her tray away. Minjae yawned, she barely touched her food.

“What she means is… every weekend, we go to Hyebin’s house and get our mental check there. Y’know, use the Wi-Fi and shit,” Minjae explained to the dumbfounded girl. “We’ll introduce you to Hyebin, she’s cool,”

Yuri nodded, the information still not sinking in. Probably because she didn’t have the best sleep last night. A new place and knowing the next day would be her actual first day in the college of her dreams, it made Yuri restless and toss and turn. Which is why she faced the living hell torture of trying to keep her eyes open during a 2 hour lecture on what is supposed to be her favorite subject; cinematography.

Coffee. Why didn’t I drink damn coffee? She thought to herself, and as if someone had been reading her mind, Yuri felt something warm brush up against her fingers. She opens her eyes and lift her head to see a cup of coffee. She looked beside her, and take notice of the boy she was too sleepy to acknowledge when she got in. After a few moments of Yuri just looking at him, he gets closer and whispers.

“Drink up, you look like you need it more than me,” he smiles, and his smile alone was enough to wake every fiber in Yuri’s body. She raises the cup to her lips and took a sip. And who could you be?

{ self-para } You made me believe forever was a thing

It had been 6 and a half months since Sanghyuk’s life took a turn for the worst

1. He had upped his regular exercising time and intensity 2. He had come first several times on Overwatch 3. He had gone shopping with Taekwoon hyung twice a week 4. He had been to the movies more often than he had in his childhood 5. He had visited his family once every two weeks 6. He had written and composed new music on his own 7. He had walked Dagger for hours on end every free morning he had 8. He had cut sugar completely 9. He had learned all the names of his now favorite youtube stars 10. He had even started taking 10 minute showers. Cold. Imagine that.

Because... 1. He had to be exhausted at the end of the day so he could sleep 2. The game kept his mind busy with things other than his mistakes 3. He could use the time out with someone who would literally not say a word the whole time and ask him how he was 4. Movies kinda worked like the game. But in this case he didn’t have to stay home and socialize when the guys were home. 5. He needed the sense of belonging, the feeling of being home. 6. About his break up. About his heartache. Because it was the only time he allowed himself to feel anything at all. So he put it into his music. He turned everything into art, into something beautiful. 7. He loved the dog. It reminded him that he was still capable of loving someone and not harm them. And he needed the fresh air. 8. Sugar gives you rushes of emotion, whether they’re good or bad. In his case, no good emotion could break through the cold waill he’d built around his heart. 9. Because he couldn’t bare to watch TV with the others, he stuck by the corner with his laptop, watching every single stupid or funny video he could find to relax his mind. 10. Showers make you think. Warmth allows your body unnecessary cravings. He couldn’t handle either.

So yes, Sanghyuk had basically turned into an emo teenage boy with a good sense of hair fashion.

It had been his fault. She had left him because he wasn’t able to control his jealousy, to focus enough not to be overwhelmed with it and therefore hurt the first thing that moved. His own source of happiness, his one and only true love, the girl he’d do anything for, the only person in the world he would have died for. Gone. Just like that. Gone forever.

He had thought about contacting her multiple times but what good would that have done? After the way he treated her, he could only expect one thing from her: that she would move on. And hopefully she had because she didn’t deserve to be treated that way, to be on the look-out of when her boyfriend was going to strike her again.

As Hyuk whistled for Dagger to return to him that morning, he turned around expecting her to come running so when she didn’t he tried again. But nothing. With a skipping beat of his heart he turned around and made the way back where he’d come from. “Dagger!” he called out and whistled again.

“Sangyuk oppa! Sangyuk oppa!” a soft, high pitched voice connected to a face as he looked for the source and he instantly sighed in relief to see his dog beside a trusted human.

He approached them with a warm a smile as he could pull off. “So that’s where she went”.

“She recognized me and it seems she likes me. Look!” the girl crouched down and Dagger attacked her face with kisses. But Hyuk wasn’t mean enough to tell her Dagger did that with almost anyone she met.

“So it seems.”

Her name was Jang YeEun and she had been introduced to him as a joke by mutual friends in the industry. They got to talking when she and a bunch of other people had been invited over to the dorm for Jaehwan’s birthday. “Enough with the noonas, Sanghyuk-ah.” Hongbin had stated and so BamBam saw it fit to push him against a couple girls chatting behind the couch, like boys did in middle school. With a homicidal look in his eyes, Hyuk cursed his hyung’s friend under his breath and turned immediately to apologize to the victims of GOT7′s breadstick.

A month later, they were dating.

As in, going on dates. Nothing official.

Which sickened him to the core but how else would he ever get better if he didn’t let go of Heeyeon? Yeeun was an incredible girl but she wasn’t Hani. She was a good dancer, a good singer, a good person, sweet, caring, somewhat shy at first, gentle, beautiful... but she wasn’t Hani. No one would ever be her, not even compare. But he had to try. He had to convince himself that second best was all he would ever get in life. God, it was so hard. It made everything extra difficult. But what else could he do? He had to try... He had to try.... He was trying. He had to consider himself lucky because he got a second chance at love with a great girl. He kept trying to talk himself into believing he wasn’t feeling anything because it was too early on in the relationship (if you could even call it that) but... he never felt like being with her, his heart didn’t skip beats, he didn’t miss her, he didn’t think of her, he didn’t text her...

He had kissed her. He had gone much further than that too.

But she wasn’t Hani.

“I thought I’d meet you here, Hongbin oppa said you took walks with Dagger in the morning. I hope that wasn’t too forward of me?”

“Not at all. Are you here alone?” her face lightened with a smile. She probably throught he meant to ask if it was okay to... what, kiss her in public? Walk her home? Buy her coffee?

“I... am, yes. Do you wanna go somewhere? I’m free.”

“I have work.” he simply said and called the dog over.

“What time?”

“Uh... 3, I think.”

“Well, maybe we could go have lunch together?”

“I have to drop Dagger off at home.”

“That’s okay. I’ll come with.”

Fuck. Today just wasn’t a good day. It was a blue day, as he liked to call them. Mostly because it was when missing noona hit him the hardest and all he wanted to do was hide his shameful face from the world. But with Yeeun he would have none of that. He knew she meant well, probably encouraged by Hongbin to make him feel better, who knew, but he just wasn’t up to par.

“Sure.” he agreed because he didn’t want to be impolite but at least he’d come up with the work lie so she would have to leave him before 3pm.

Jeesh. What a sucky boyfriend he really was. He beated the shit out of his first girlfriend ever and he kept ditching the second because he was still pining over the first. Well done, Hyuk. So mature.

But it wasn’t that simple. How could it be with him.

No one understood how much Hani noona had meant to him, still did. If anything, they were a freaking disney couple, there couldn’t be anything more perfect than what they had had. His members would engourage him to see other girls, his other friends actually did something about it and his family kept asking about getting a new girlfriend and when was he thinking about giving them grandchildren. They didn’t understand. No one could.

Hani noona wasn’t a fantasy to him, she wasn’t a noona adventure, a first girlfriend tragedy, a disposable cum bag, an idol interest. She was his. His every reason. His every breath. His best friend. His most treasured possession. His partner. His future wife. The mother to his children. His moon. His stars. His universe.

And now she was nothing.

He was nothing.
