Confessions

"Han Jaehwa."

Seokjin called as he finally spotted her slumped down on one of the seats. Jaehwa looked up amazed at his voice and he was surprised to see that she had been crying. Her face contorted in confusion.

"Seokjin? Why are you here?" She asked, her voice quavering pitifully.

Seokjin opened his mouth to reply but she cut him off.

"I thought you were gone. Why didn't you leave?" She asked hurriedly, her face morphing into that of anger. He was about to reply when she shot up from her seat. "Or was it all a trick of yours? Did you set the whole thing up?"

He momentarily froze in surprise at her inquiry but soon he snapped out of it as she turned around and began furiously walking away from him in annoyance. "Jaehwa, hey!"

She didn't pay heed to him as she kept on her pace, face scrunched up in fury. "Jay- wait!"

Seokjin called, dragging his suitcase along with him as he chased after Jaehwa who was madly stomping away.

"Hey, Jaehwa!" He called as he sloppily dragged the suitcase along with him. "I didn't trick you, I missed my flight!"

She paused. Slowly, she turned back. 

"I'm telling the truth!" 

She stared. A long pause as she just watched him in skepticism. Slowly she sighed resignedly, looking down at the ground. "I ended things with Sahan."

Seokjin's brows shot up in surprise. 

"It wasn't anything genuine anyway. We didn't like each other or anything... Sahan just wanted the company and that's why he forced me to do it." 

A bitter smile tugged at her lips. "I was stupid. I should have known. I- I have no excuse. I just let myself get played and hurt myself in the process, and- and not just me, I hurt others as well when I could have ended it before it got out of hand. If I had just worked up the courage to do it but no, I didn't because I was such a lo-"

Jaehwa was cut off when a pair of firm arms wrapped around her in an embrace and her eyes widened. 

Seokjin patted her back. "I get it." 

That's it. It was time for the waterworks to start and she pursed her trembling lips as tears flooded her eyes once again. She stood still for a moment in shock before she wrapped her arms around him and cried. 

And the world resumed its rotation and her eyes gained its sight of colors. A huge looming burden was taken off her shoulders and she finally felt like she could have some peace and that she could make this right. Even if she couldn't, she could at least try. That alone was good enough for her.

It wasn't until much later, or perhaps it was just a few minutes when a low but familiar voice exclaimed from nearby that they broke the hug and jumped apart. 

"Freaking finally!"

The duo turned around surprised to find the new successor of Holo standing there watching them with gleeful triumph.

"Y-yoongi?" Seokjin called, surprised to find him there.

"Ah, freaking finally," Yoongi sighed, "You don't know how long I've been waiting for this!" He grinned. "My ship has set sail."

...

"What?"

"I knew it. I had known from day one that things would take a turn with you two." He clapped his hands, "You see? You guys have eerily similar personalities. No actually, the both of you're the same: over-confident, gifted, competitive, and knuckleheads. I knew things would get interesting!"
