The storm Y/n held within resembled the downpour Seoul has been experiencing for the past few days, the raindrops never ceased from singing upon the roofs even when a ray of occasional sunshine seeped through.
"You look so weak, dear. Are you worrying yourself with too much work?" At the sound of the tender voice, Y/n looked away from the race of the raindrops on the window towards Mrs.Park who eyed her with concern.
The elder woman sat at the dining table with a cup of tea between her palms, warming her brittle skin. Y/n stood propped against the counter taken aback by the question, she blinked twice before catching onto what she said. Y/n had thrown herself into a trance irrespective of having tea with her mother-in-law.
"If I said no, that would be a lie, Mrs.Park, I believe you understand," Y/n's lips rose in a short smile before munching on a cookie.
"I do, dear. I was not any better than you when I was young nor am I now. The hunger for power never dies, nor weakens, if it does die so will you because of the burdens it yields. I just want you to be careful," Y/n's smile just grew wider when she heard them, Mrs.Park's actions felt raw and heartwarming, she couldn't help but wonder why doesn't Jimin bare any of it.
Jimin, just the thought of his name stirred her emotions, it has been a few days since he left but the deadly hold he had on her heart never dissolved. It was like he bewitched her into a spell of pondering about him, and only him except why she thinks about him drastically differ, she had fear, she had guilt, she had lust and she had love for this man, a varied set of emotions she couldn't choose from, it was overwhelming so instead of picking one, she decided to pick none.
It is beautiful to fall in love but painful if it's only you. The world your love for them created, the world your tiny heart revolves around without skipping a beat soon crumbles. Your heart loses her one and only celestial star. And now not knowing what to do or where to go or how to revolve now that your sun was gone, your heart wiltes alone in the endless dark of vacuum suffocating herself.
Y/n revolved around her love for freedom before her love for Jimin, so she thought it would be easier to bounce back and how wrong was she.
After visiting her office that morning, Jimin did so as he said. Y/n found out that very evening that he had meetings with a couple of underground associations in Busan, she also came to know that Hoseok tagged along with him and Jungkook. Now she could round up her suspension on Hoseok indeed being a passage for an alliance.
"Y/n?" Mrs.Park called out pulling the female yet again out of her trance, "Yes?" She blurted immediately.
"I asked how's being here alone without Jimin? Do you feel lonely? Are you alright?"
"Do I feel lonely? Do I feel alright? Alright? What do I tell you? That I remember the blue table where I would be fed and dressed when I was eight, the little crack on the window where the wind would greet me with a kiss, and the sun with a hug. That although I don't remember the faces of the people who brought me to earth, I can hear their giggles, my giggles. Or do I tell you why I vividly remember something from the far past? That all my life I have been in a void I call home to fool myself to be happy, an illusion I dwell in? Or do I tell you the truth that I'm terribly lost to know what's home and meeting Jimin made it so bad that I realized how much I have been lonely and that's not even the worst part because he's never gonna stay?"
