“ It’s… you’re scaring me. I have this weird feeling you’re going to leave. ”
Kbum jolted, surprised by the other’s words. Turning from his open suitcase to observe the boy seated on his bed for a few moments, he let out a breath, shaking his head as he made his way over to him, plopping down on his bed beside him. “Tae, it’s just for a couple of days,” he said with a small smile, reaching out to take the boy’s hand with both of his own. “I’m going to be in London for a friend’s wedding. And then I’ll come back,” he said with a small shrug.
He could see where the other would get worried, he was known to go through random bouts of homesickness, missing London in ways that he couldn’t express. But he also understood that there was nothing for him there, that Mount Phoenix would have to be his home now. “And I’ll text you and stuff. It’ll be like I never left,” he said, getting up to finish packing. Maybe he should take less things, it’ll look less like he was moving away. “Oh, I’ll bring you back snacks, too. Have you ever had Hobnobs?”
