"Jimin you're up!" I hear Hoseok yell.
"Coming!" I walk to the end of the stage and wait as Yoongi introduces me to the audience.
"-making a comeback. He's the one and only Park Jimin. Give a round of applause people. Hey Chim, get up here!" I walk in the crowd's view as Yoongi walk towards me looking worried. Before I could ask him what's wrong he said, "He's here."
The moment I heard those two words I froze, knowing exactly who he was talking about. "What?"
"I said he's here." He repeated. "Look, if you don't want to sing now, you could always wait for another night you know." Hearing him say this, I shake my head, "I'm fine. I can sing."
"You sure?" He asked with eyes scanning my face to pick up on any lies. I smiled at him, "Yes hyung, I'm sure."
"Alright then go on." Nodding, I head to center stage and stand in front of the microphone. Alright Chim, you can do this. You've done this plenty of times before in the past. Just keep your head down and don't look at the crowd. You won't see him. Easy right?
"Hello everyone. My name is Park Jimin and I'll be singing one of my favourite songs tonight. It's called, 'Again' by XXXTENTACION and Noah Cyrus. Enjoy."
The music began and I closed my eyes getting ready to sing. You can do this. Don't look at the crowd. Don't look at the crowd. Don't look at the cro-I looked, and the first thing I saw, was him. Staring at me. He looked exactly the same. The only change being his hair. It's brown now. He had blond hair the last time I saw him. Tears began to prick at the corner of my eyes as he continued to stare. Then he did something. Something I thought I'd never see again.
He smiled. That boxy smile I loved so much and I broke. The dams opened.
Yoongi came running. "Shit Park. I thought you said you were fine."
"B-but I a-am f-fine."
"No Park you're not. Get off the stage." He scowled.
You're finally back here and the first thing you do is cry like an idiot, and for why? Just cause he smiled at you? Get a grip of yourself Jimin!
"No, I can do this. Just let me change the song. Please?" I begged. He looked at me, scanning my face with uncertainty in his eyes. "Alright fine. But if you break down again I'm dragging your short ass off this stage and taking you home. Got it?"
I nod and he left the stage. I take a deep breath, facing the microphone again, "I'm sorry about just now. I got a bit emotional. I'm changing the song if that's alright with you guys?" A few 'Its okays' and 'No worries' came from the crowd. I tried my best to put on a decent smile despite still feeling his eyes on me.
"This song is called 'A soulmate who wasn't meant to be'." I held the mic to my lips and sing,
I never should have called
'Cause I knew you would leave me
But I didn't think you could do it so easilyFresh tears rolled down my cheeks as memories of our past started flooding my brain. Not again!
~~Memory 1~~
There was a knock at the door. Jimin opened and there he was. Standing there with a duffel bag in hand, looking like a Greek God.
"You called?" He asks with a smile on his face. Oh, how Jimin loved that smile.
"Tae! You actually came." He moved aside so Taehyung could enter. "Of course I did. Why wouldn't I Mochi?" Jimin blushed. That name always makes his heart flutter. The name Taehyung gave him. Mochi.
