"I...We're friends, right...But...can you...Could you help me?" Taehyung frowns.
"Help you how?" He whispers and Yeona doesn't look at him.
"Move on." Taehyung frowns. He hates the idea of being a person she uses to move on. But at that very moment...

"Hey, how are you?" I smile at Jin who's smiling my way, holding out a hand which I take. Jin finished his shooting one month ago.
Fall has made the air quite chilly, so we're both wearing rather warm clothes.
I've been spending time with Jin for a while and it's going well. I mean, I'd expect him to formally ask me to be his girlfriend, I mean, I still don't know what we are, despite the few nights we spent together, all the dates we go on...
We walk in the forest and I enjoy the calm of nature.
"Umm, Yeonaah..." I turn to Jin, encouraging him to go on. "There's something I need to tell you. About us." I'm really nervous now, my inside twisting and a weight falling on my chest. What is he going to say? He's not going to tell me all of it was nothing right?
Jin let's go of my hand and I dive both of mine in the pockets of my long beige coat, anxious.
"Yeah?" I ask nervously.
"Umm." He looks down, around, but barely at me.
"What is it?" I whisper, trying to keep my confidence, but feeling my heart sink with each passing second.
"I would've asked you to be my girlfriend. I would have, I swear. But I'm going to be away for the next five months. And my manager opposed any relationship for that time." I just remain frozen at those words. "I wanted to ask you...."
"Since when?" I manage to ask, forcing myself to keep my eyes on him. He frowns at me, feeling uneasy.
"What?"
"Since when have you known that this was going nowhere?" I explain and he swallows hard, looking down.
"They told me two weeks after I started seeing you." He shyly replies and I just stare in disbelief.
"So you've been toying with me for the past months? I can't believe this." I scoff, feeling the anger build up in my chest, the pain fuelling dangerously.
"No! No, Yeonaah, I swear! I'm not toying with you, I like you! I really really do. It's just that I'm not allowed to date you for the time being." I can't clear my head or my heart, my emotions are a huge mess after hearing this confession.
"But- I mean-" I scoff, trying to hold back the tears. "I never should've texted you back." I look up at Jin and yes, he does look completely distraught but why did he start anything between us to tell me, out of the blue that we're going to stop here, because his boss told him to since the beginning. "You didn't tell me up until now, did you get bored? Is that why you're telling me now?" I ask seriously, trying to hold back my frustration.
"No! It's just...I didn't want to stop here. I still don't. So I procrastinated. I shouldn't have but I did because I like- I love being with you, I love your character and your heart, Yeona. But I just thought I should tell you the truth before we both get too attached." Jin is fidgeting with his fingers, waiting for my reaction and I can't hold back my scoff.
