Jimin POV

Yesterday Jungkook and I spent time apart. Not because we had a fight or anything. Simply because a break was needed. If we were normal teenagers, we wouldn't be together all the time like this. It's normal to want time apart. Jungkook and I didn't have a big talk about it or anything either. We both simply did what we wanted to do.

He spent his day downstairs drawing at the dining table. I didn't stick to anything specific. I stretched and danced here and there. Wrote in my notebook. I didn't limit myself to one thing.

Yoongi dropped by to say when meals were. He said Jungkook and him split a bag of chips. He was just doing his own thing too, all while hanging out with either Jungkook or me at some random point.

Today however, we're all three downstairs.  Counselor-nim's gone shopping, leaving Yoongi in charge as usual. I took note on how when Counselor-nim asked what we'd like to eat this coming week, Yoongi didn't give any input. That's not like him.

"God, the programs only show the same movies. I'm so tired of watching t.v" Yoongi sighed.

I guess I am too. I'm bored more often these days.

"We've watched all the movies Counselor-nim owns too- twice" Jungkook sighed.

I sighed and laid against Jungkook on the couch. Taking his closest hand and tracing the lines of his palm. Looking at the scabbed over nail markings.

"I wonder if we could all go to a movie theater sometime. I bet counselor-nim would take us" I thought out loud.

"Oh! That would actually be fun. I don't even know what movies are out these days" Jungkook added.

Yoongi was silent though. I glanced over at him.

"Yoongi, do you want to do that? We all three need to agree and ask" I asked him.

He looked down at his legs. Picking at his cuticle on his thumb. He had something he needed to say, and I had a pretty clear idea of what.

"There's really no need for me to agree or not" he shrugged. "I'm- I'm going home the day after tomorrow"

Jungkook and I both stilled. Even though I saw it coming,  a frown set on my face. Him too.

He mentioned him being 19 in march, having to go home then, but it isn't even the end of February yet. He must've passed his test.

Only Jungkook and I? All our friends... they're out living their lives, and Jungkook and I are here.

Not that I don't like it here. I do, actually. My own personal hell's turned into my own personal getaway. Of course I'm happy to spend this time with Jungkook, but our Youth's almost gone and we're still here.

I use to dance. I was in competitions. I didn't go to regular high school, I went to a performing arts academy. When I'm out of here, there wont be anything left for me there. I'm not Park Jimin the contemporary dancer anymore. I'm Park Jimin the average student who will end up with an average job. My dream is gone all because I'm gay.

The only thing I like about being here is Counselor-nim's kindness, the friendships I'd made, and my relationship with Jungkook. Although it was toxic at first, we're working on it.

"You passed?" Jungkook asked.

Yoongi nodded his head and scratched the back of his neck. He smiled still. Clearly happy to be able to move on with his life. His general body language showed guilt though.

"I always lie on my tests, but after the phone call with our parents, I think counselor-nim decided it was time to accept my cheated test. I'd only be here for a little while longer anyways. I really want to spend my 19th with my school friends before they leave for college though." He explained.

I smiled for him, Jungkook did too. However selfishly, I thought of myself in this moment. I like it here, but I want my life back. I know Jungkook feels the same.

The only thing I know is, soon it'll just be me.
