Jin decides to win Bella back in this third part of their story. How far will he go to show her that they belong together? Can they still have their 'happily ever after'?
--Pt 1: If I Ask You to Stay. Pt. 2: The Price of Love.
Last weekend was a bust, but this weekend I will attain my goal. Bella will come back to me and declare her undying love. And we will be together the way it was meant to be.
My cousin Taehyung had recently gone back to dating Cindy Romero, Bella's roommate, and he was throwing her a birthday party at the apartment he shared with Jimin. Now, Park Jimin and I were on limited speaking terms due to his continued infatuation with Bella, so I knew I wouldn't be an honored guest at the party. But I didn't care. I needed to be wherever Bella was so that she would realize that our love was still as strong as ever.
I spent over an hour making sure that I looked so good that she would not be able to take her eyes off of me. I assessed my image in the mirror. Hair: perfect. Outfit: perfect. Face: of course, perfect. I had dabbed my favorite cologne on my chest and on my wrists before I put on my shirt in the hope that it would make her remember the many times she had spent in my arms. I closed my eyes, and I could almost feel the soft pressure of her head on me when I held her as we lay back spiraling down from our physical high.
"Come on, Seokjin, you can do it," I told myself. The last thing I grabbed was the beautiful two-carat ruby ring with two one-carat diamonds on each side on a shiny platinum band.

I moved the ring around to see it catch the light and smiled. I wanted Bella to realize that I was serious about her and that I could give her anything her heart desired if she would come back to me. I placed the ring back in the small box and shoved it into my front pocket.
I walked to Tae and Jimin's apartment and knocked on the door, preparing myself to see Bella. Jimin opened the door with a smile that quickly disappeared.
"Seokjin."
"Jimin," I said. He did not move aside to let me in. "I brought this," I said, holding out a bottle of premium tequila.
He took the bottle and motioned with his head for me to enter the apartment. I immediately scanned the dimly lit room, trying not to look as if I was searching for someone.
"She's not here yet," Jimin said, guessing who I was looking for.
"Oh? Who?" I pretended to be unaware.
He smirked. "Really? You walk in here looking like that and expect no one to know--"
"Seokjin!" several female voices cried out.
"--that you're here to get laid," he continued, "or here to get Bella." He scowled.
"Or both," I said with a wink, just to rile him.
"Not both!" he hissed just as two girls ran up to me and put their arms around my torso.
"Oh, my God!" one of the girls cried out. "You look incredible!"
"Come sit with us," the other one said and pulled me further into the apartment.
Hoseok was sitting on a chair with his girlfriend Allison on his lap. "Hey!" He greeted me.
