Moving on and moving out.

AeGuk had been feeling terrible and depressed up until graduation when Fedora, Bryan, and Sacia surprised him by showing up. He knew that Fedora was gonna come, but Bryan and Sacia was a surprise, especially since Fedora and Sacia were fighting and AeGuk thought that Bryan was across the country in Florida.

And then they stayed the whole summer, so by the end of the summer AeGuk felt happy again. Like he did when they still went ot A.L. High. And now he was off to college in New York. The state, not the city. Fedora was slightly upset to hear that he decided not to go to Harvard, but she got over it rather quickly, New York was still closer than California. And they could see each other on the weekend.

“So now I’m gonna have to share my weekends?” Sacia had said when Fedora was talking about it once.

“Sharing is caring,” Fedora said.

So now AeGuk was at the airport with Fedora, Sacia, and Bryan. Sacia, Fedora, and AeGuk were all gonna take the same plan to New York, spend the weekend there and then split up and go their separate ways.

Bryan was just there to say goodbye. After this he was joining his brother on a flight to Europe where they were gonna stay for a year just traveling.

AeGuk was excited for everything, for leaving home and going to college, meeting new people. Okay not really meeting new people. The prospect of meeting new people made him want to turn around and run back home. He hated meeting new people. New people usually looked at him weird because of his stutter. New people usually stopped talking to him after a few minutes because of his stutter. New people usually went off to their friends and laughed about his stutter.

He didn’t like new people.

But he was still excited for college, thoguh a little nervous. Fedora assured him that he would do fine, but AeGuk didn’t know how she would know that. Fedora was perfectly outgoing, she always had somethign witty to say. She doesn’t even know how to feel embarrased.

but AeGuk let himself believe her and was excited none the less.

As their flight was announced they all gathered their bags and turned to bryan to say goodbye.

“Aw, man, don’t make this all sappy,” Bryan said.

“Oh, boo hoo,” Fedora said, dramatically frowning, “I’m gonna miss you so much!”

She then threw herself on Bryan, almost knocking him down, while fake crying. Bryan laughed and pushed her off, “like you care.”

Fedora grinned, “got that right.”

“It was great seeing you,” Sacia said, giving Bryan a quick hug. “Next time you’re in the country give me a call.”

“I’ll try,” Bryan said.

Aeguk felt like he couldn’t say anything. Bryan was his closest friend, and getting to see him again this summer had helped his mood tremendously. He didn’t know how he was gonna get through college without Bryan’s lame jokes and boasts about his travels.

“Hey man, you don’t need to say anything,” Bryan said, pulling AeGuk into a hug. “See you again sometime.”

“Y-yeah,” AeGuk finally managed to say.

Finally they all said goodbye and left him as they heading towards their plane. AeGuk felt sad and excited at the same time, his life was finally starting and he couldn’t wait and yet he could.
