"Good evening, Appa. Good evening, Eomma," I said to my parents after entering my house. Since we'll be busy starting next week for the promotions regarding our next album, I decided to have a three-day off at least, which is permitted immediately. "Is Minsung Oppa in his room?" I asked.

"Yes, though I'm pretty sure that he's really tired because of managerial work," Eomma answered. "You know, he needs to stay in JYP while waiting for the entire fiasco to subside. Not that we care about it, though."

"Well...Minsung Oppa decided to do that in order not to hurt our reputation as a group," I explained.

"We know. Anyway, want to bring this to his room? In case that he's asleep, you can just leave it there," Eomma said before handing me some food for Minsung Oppa.

"I...I don't know if he will be pleased to see me. After all, I said pretty harsh words to him last time," I commented when suddenly, Eomma pinched my nose.

"Yah. I don't remember raising such a weak-willed daughter," Eomma said. "If you really like him, you might as well say it when both of you are alone."

"But, Eomma...I-I'm afraid that I'll get rejected by him. He's keeping his distance from me whenever possible and it's already painful. What if he hates me forever because of it?" I asked.

"So what if he hates you for that? Is that really a big deal?" Eomma asked. "It's only normal for humans to like someone while rejecting another in the name of love. But as long as you can openly confess your feelings, it's alright."

"Eomma..." I said.

"Whether he rejects your feelings or not, just remember that your Appa and I will always be with you," Eomma commented while hugging me. "Go."

(A few minutes later...)

"You sure look very exhausted, Oppa. Is managing idols like us really that hard?" I asked while watching him sleep peacefully in his bed. "Looks like whenever I'm involved, you always get yourself into trouble."

He turned towards me while still sleeping so I held my breath for a while until I'm pretty sure that he's really asleep.

"Do you remember that time on the hospital rooftop where you left me? I cried really hard after that. Do you know why? It's because you broke what you promised me last time," I said while looking at him. "But I can't really blame you, though, since I was the one who pushed you away first just because I thought that you and Saerom Unnie are an item. I'm Immature, aren't I?"

I sighed and kept myself silent for a while before speaking up again.

"But you know, these past few days, I realized that even if you ask Saerom Unnie out, I really don't care. Why? It's because your happiness is very important to me. It really hurts me just to think that I'm not the real reason behind your happiness. But don't worry about me, Oppa. I'll eventually move on, no matter how long it takes. So in case that you decide to ask Saerom Unnie out, I will support both of you with all of my heart. Just make sure not to break my Unnie's heart, though, since she had already gone through so many things."

"And how did I know that? It's because she tends to talk a lot whenever she's stressed and drunk. Actually, I as well as the rest already knew about her past. It's just that we decided not to mention it in order not to make her worry," I explained. "So if you think that you can help in taking Saerom Unnie's pain away, I'd gladly accept my loss. But remember this: You are my first love, Minsung Oppa and I love you so much that I'm more than willing to sacrifice my own happiness just to see you happy."

Since I don't know if I'll get this chance again, I decided to kiss Minsung Oppa's cheek while he's sleeping. "I'm not sure if we will be able to speak to each other again after this but, always remember that I love you. I love you and goodbye, My First Love," I added before leaving his room, closing the door behind me.
