Yoosung (Bad End)
“You’re leaving?” Yoosung practically screamed.
MC was having dinner with Yoosung at home, one night, and MC finally told him that they got a scholarship at a prestigious university in Italy. Yoosung was on the verge of tears when they told him where it was.
“How long will you be gone?”
“Two years,” MC stood up and gave him a hug. “But I’ll call you every day, and we can video chat! It’ll be just like I’m still here.” No it wouldn’t.
Yoosung was freaking out. He didn’t want them to go. They were finally together, and they were leaving again? And two years without MC would be unbearable!
Yoosung tried to breath normally again. He knew how important this was to them, they worked so hard. This was a huge opportunity and he didn’t want to be the reason they didn’t take it.
Yoosung finally forced a smile, “Wow MC, you’re so smart! I’m so proud of you! I’m so lucky to be dating such a genius!”
For the next few weeks, Yoosung has been trying to be the best boyfriend he could be. He did his best to make sure they were as happy as possible. He was doing better in school, he didn’t play lolol when they were around unless they played with him, he was cooking for them more and calling them more often, and he was a lot more affectionate and clingy. He even threw them a going away party with the other RFA members, the day before they left. He didn’t want them leaving on a bad note, and he wanted to spend as much time with them as he could before they left.
The night, however, Yoosung was being quieter than usual. MC hugged him from behind and gave him a kiss on the cheek. “I’m going to miss you too,” they whispered.
Yoosung stayed quiet.
“What’s wrong, Yoosung?”
“You won’t fall in love with anyone else while you’re there, right?” Yoosung mumbled.
MC couldn’t help but laugh, he was being so cute.
“I-it’s not funny, MC!” Yoosung blushed, “You’re so amazing, and you’re going to be there without me, surrounded by all those Italian guys.” he looked away, “You might end up forgetting all about me.”
MC moved around the couch so they were in front of him. “Yoosung, I love you. You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” They said, “This is just something that I have to do, but being away from you is going to be pure torture.”
Yoosung smiled at that.
“In fact,” MC grinned, “Let me show you just how much I’m going to miss you”
Yoosung was trying his best not to cry. They were going to be away for at least a few months, and the thought of not being able to see them every morning was breaking his heart. It was like the first eleven days all over again, only this time, he knew what he was missing.
MC gave him a sweet kiss on the lips and smiled. “Don’t look so sad, okay? I’ll be back before you know it.”
That did it. Yoosung gave them a big hug and started bawling. ‘I-I’m sorry, MC! I’m just going to miss you so much.”
MC rubbed his back, trying and failing not to cry as well. “I-it’ll be okay, Yoosung.” They sniffed. “Once I’m through with this, I’m never leaving you again.” They pulled away and whipped their tears. “Come on, do you really want this to be how we say goodbye?” They choked at the ‘goodbye’.
Yoosung tried to relax. “You’re right, I’m sorry.” He said, once he composed himself. He took them in his harms again. “I’m going to miss you so much. Stay safe, okay? I’ll be right here when you get back.”
MC nodded and smiled. Finally it was time for MC to board the plane. Yoosung gave them a long kiss. “Call me when you land, okay? I love you so so much, so don’t forget me.” He kissed them again.
MC was almost through the door when Yoosung called out to them again, “Have fun out there, okay, darling? I love you!”
MC smiled and called back. “I love you too!”
During the first few weeks, MC and Yoosung tried their best to keep in touch. At first, they spoke every day, then, every other day, Yoosung kept trying to talk to them as much as he could, but MC was always so busy, and it was that way the other way around as well. After a while, it seemed as though MC started putting in less and less effort.
“I miss you, MC.” He’d say when they did talk, “I wish we could talk more.”
“Yeah, I miss you too Yoosung.” They’d say back. “But I really need to finish this paper. Maybe we can talk tomorrow.”
“O-oh, okay. I love you!”
“Love you too.”
Yoosung would also worry that there were guys trying to take MC away from him. Why wouldn’t there be? “There’s no one flirting with you there, right?” He would ask, “I may be far away, but I’m still your boyfriend.” MC wouldn’t respond to that.
After a few months, MC finally came out with it. They were video chatting when MC was acting even more distant than usual.
“Is something wrong, MC?” Yoosung asked, “You’ve been quiet all night.”
“Yoosung, I don’t think we should drag this on any longer.” They said.
“W-what?”
“I think we should break up.”
Yoosung felt his heart shatter. Break up. They were breaking up with him. Yoosung started crying. “Why, MC? Did I do something wrong?”
“N-no, Yoosung, it’s just, you have to admit, thing’s aren’t how they used to be-“
“No, MC! It’s just because you’re so far away! Everything will be back to normal once you come back, please!”
MC barely understood the last thing he said, he was crying too hard. “I-I’m sorry, Yoosung.”
“MC, I love you.”
[Bonus]
Yoosung was a wreck. He spent most of his days crying, and the RFA members didn’t know how to cheer him up. He barely ate anything, and checked his phone everyday to see if they changed their mind. Once it became clear that they weren’t going to, he got worse. He neglected his studies again, and went back to spending most of his time gaming. He barely talked to the other RFA members anymore, and only logged into the messenger when someone told him that there was something important. Still, he would often secretly check in to see if they were doing okay without him.
“Why’d you forget me, MC?”
