Aera's POV
1 week. It has been 1 week since I told Jimin I liked him back, 1 week since I said yes to being his girlfriend.

"I like you Aera."

I sat there frozen, my mouth gaped and unable to move. But not because of the sudden confession from the man I thought of as a friend, but because of the man who walked in the cafe hand in hand with a woman who wasn't me. A sight that I never knew I wasn't ready to see.

"Aera? Um ar- are you okay?"

The glimpse of hurt I felt suddenly vanished and turned into anger, a feeling that put me out of control.

He moved on. He forgot about me. He forgot about what we had... so why shouldn't I?

And with those thoughts, I turned to Jimin. A stern look on my face as I let my anger talk, ignoring my heart completely.

"I like you too."


It's already been one week and I still have no idea what happened.

I remember him jumping straight up from his seat to hug me tightly, laughing and smiling with joy.

I remember watching my ex sitting a few tables away from me who never spared a glance my way.

I remember walking out of the cafe hand in hand with Jimin who was ready to show off his new girlfriend to the world.

I remember not being able to think about anything else other than the sight of him. The sight of my ex, Kim Taehyung.

"Yah! Aera! Are you even reading the reports I asked you to read?!"

"I'm sorry Ms. Park, I'll get on it right away!" I sigh and snap back to reality.

Yes, I am currently in my fathers other office, working happily for a job I never even wanted in the first place. You would expect people to respect you with being the daughter of the CEO, but apparently people weren't too fond of the idea of me climbing to the top merely because I was of the status. So, here I was, doing all the handy work for everyone in the building, well it was mostly just for one person, Park Hyesoo, who claims that she couldn't just let a newbie waltz in the building like she owns the place, which I totally didn't.

I guess it was also my fault for being so distracted at work. I just couldn't get him off my mind. A part of me knew he must've moved on to someone else, seeing as he didn't even try to contact me, but another part of me hoped he didn't, hoped if ever we met again, he would welcome me with open arms.
