"Are you not going to say anything? I truly missed you. I studied hard overseas and waited for you to come at the right age. You already finished high school and no longer a minor, we can reunite our love once again."

She added as she tightened her hug on me but I was still on the point of slow processing. I can't get all the information on my head at once just like a computer that is lagging. I was stunned and stay there standing like a log.

The memories we shared in the past is slowly making a flashback in my mind that put me in daze. When I gather all my thoughts and mustered myself I utter a short phrase to her. "Jae In..." I mumbled that made her cry all of the sudden.

"Yes, its me... It's Jae In, who would have thought that you will become this popular. I was there in your last fan sign with your latest album but I wasn't able to get the pass to talk to you. In fact today, I just had a little help from a friend to meet you. Which lead me to meeting your members. I am so happy that you still remember me..."

She added while still hugging me tightly. I can still hear her sobs so I had no choice and used my right hand to caress her back to coax her to stop crying. I couldn't say anything but the action made me feel a little guilty.

In the back of my head, I can see a bright girl that had the resemblance to a Shibainu smiling at me. My current girlfriend who is still overseas. I was caught in surprise when my first love suddenly appeared in front of me after almost three years.

"Jae In, no... It should be Jae In noona... You should stop crying or else others would think that I wrong you. We still got a performance a little later. I am thinking that there would be a lot to say so let's talk later." I told her that made her break from hugging me.

"Yeah your right, I have a lot of things to tell you." she said as she slowly wiped her tears using her handkerchief. When she took off her face mask, I was able to tell that she changed a lot in appearance.

She may still look just like before but she had the sense of maturity and elegance now far from her childish personality back then. She had a little resemblance to Tzuyu, that's a fact. I drew a picture of her before when asked how would our ideal type look like.

The shippers of me and Tzuyu would often use that drawing nowadays as a proof of our so called secret relationship. When it is not really Tzuyu, I drew my ideal type that time which was my girlfriend and Twice has not even debuted yet.

"I will see you on the same restaurant where we used to date before. I will be waiting for you in there until midnight. Be sure to come..." she said before turning back and running out of the room which left me dumbfounded for the second time.

I was still standing there when the other members entered the waiting room in a hurry. Jimin hyung was holding my phone that I didn't realize that wasn't with me all along this time. He was leisurely holding it like he was using it for a while now.

"JK, she said to meet you at the same place and the same time. Would you go and meet her?" Jimin hyung asked me as he handed my phone to me, thinking that he heard my conversation with Jae In, I nodded my head to say yes.

"Anyway, that is not the issue right now. Our slot was moved a little earlier so we have to prepare. It's like it will be performed live but they will record it and be aired in the live broadcast on the original time slot. We have to get ready."

The leader reminded us as I figure out why they were rushing to get into the waiting roo since our changing clothes are all in here. It was a coincidence that after a few minutes when Jae In left, was the moment when they get in the room.

"I hope you were able to talk to her properly. Your phone suddenly died while Jimin was playing with it. I told him to let your phone off because she might call you but he was hard headed." Yoongi hyung told me while we are getting our make up retouched.

I think he might gave my new number with Jae In since it was him who was with her outside the door for a moment while Namjoon hyung talks to me. My old mobile phone broke and was already outdated so I changed recently as well as the contact number.

"It's fine hyung, she said to meet at the same place and same tie where I would often meet her so it is no hassle." I said as I tossed my phone to my bag. We quickly changed to our outfit for the performance and get ready to go on stage.

It was because the audience has to go back early to their homes for the end year celebration why our performance was pushed earlier than expected. Even though it was cold that time, our fans patiently waited for us.

So even though I was a little distracted, I made sure to display an outstanding performance for them. I made sure that my hasty mind would not affect me when on stage and performed my best with the members.

We performed the songs that we had choose for this event and there were quite a lot. So we got to interact with ARMYs for a while before saying goodbye. Our stage was the last performance for tonight.

So we reminded everyone to keep safe in going home, we are basically the closing performers of this event. Although the hosts may have other words to say but it would merely be closing remarks.

After our performance we get back to our waiting room to change into more casual clothing. The clothes that we often wear and from our own wardrobe. According to our schedule we are free until the second week of January so we can spend those days with our family and love ones.

Although we all decided not to go home to our respective hometowns tomorrow because we want to celebrate Tae hyung's birthday together first in the dorm. I changed into my usual outfit and made sure that I would not be recognized.

I placed my personal thing in my bag pack and put a bucket hat and face mask too. "Hyung I will be going out tonight without the other hyungs, I will be using the other car and go on my own." I told our manager as he simply nodded his head.

"We go out of the venue all at once Kook... Be sure that no one press people would follow you and be careful." Jin hyung added when he heard what I told our manager. I nodded my head and agreed with what he told me. Then we head out of the venue altogether.

With the help of our staffs and our manager, I was able to get out of the venue unnoticed. I will drive a different way from where the other cars went. Our staffs made it look like I was riding the same car with Jimin hyung.

The plan was that they will go ahead of me, they made it look like the one car parked on the far side where the company cars where parked was owned by someone else. I sneaked in to that car and waited for the right timing.

When their cars went out of the parking area of the venue, I waited for a few more minutes before driving out. Thankfully this car was heavily tinted, so no one could see me from the outside plus it was issued to one of our staffs.

He let me borrowed it since it is still a company car anyway. I drive the opposite direction, they were headed to the new dorm location while I am driving to the location of our old dorm.

A few miles from there was a restaurant owned by Jae In's friend. We used to meet there for late night dates and I learned that it is still standing after three years. She said that she will meet me there so I drove off to that direction.
