Originally Loved

Chapter 18

Seven Years Later

Jimin woken up with her alarm blaring through her morning. She whined at the loud sound and sat up on her huge bedroom, burying her face on her pillow. Jimin dyed her hair into blonde because Aeri thought that it will look good on her and she did.

It's been seven years that she felt herself moving forward on her life. Focusing on one thing she loved the most, Music. Jimin had been drastically changed to someone she didn't imagine herself to be. Jimin had been so kind and accepted herself. Forgiven herself. Or she thought so.

She had forgiven herself for all the things she did in the past and is having a good and cheerful life. But there was someone who she badly wants to make amends with so that she could have a peace of mind. There were no days that she couldn't think of her.

How is she doing these past years?

Does she have a wonderful job?

Does she have a peace of mind?

Did she forgive her?

Did she forget about her?

Jimin got up and proceeded to the kitchen and cooked pancake for breakfas partnered with an apple and water. After breakfast, she got ready for work. A business attire for work and a ponytail with her specs. Jimin has been helping her brother managing their company as a vice chairman after she graduated college taking up music degree.

She was walking towards her car when she felt a vibration on her purse. She took her phone and could see that Aeri was calling her. She answered and the first thing she heard was a whiny Somi. She shook her head at the silliness of the couple. It's been three years that the two had been dating, they were in denial at first but eventually confessed their feelings with each other in a camping spree facilitated by Jimin. Jimin had thirdwheeling with her friends and they even insisted her to date someone, so that they could have a double date. But Jimin was unbothered but focused only in her career, but sometimes she also think of having someone in her life and it's not her priority at the moment.

"Aeri, could you please just hang up if you two are just going to make up, making me hear your disgusting noises" Jimin laughed. She could hear Somi fell on their bed as it makes a loud thud on the other line.

"There I already, got Somi out of the view. She's on the floor whining." Aeri stated, laughing hysterically.

"Anyways, have you heard the news?" Aeri added making Jimin curious.

"What news, Aeri?" She asked, wondering if it's another blind date lead by her bestfriend.

"It seems like you don't have any idea at all, Jimin" Aeri nervously laughed on the other side of the line.

"What is it, Aeri? I'm running late for work. I don't have any time for your jokes" Jimin stated, hearing Aeri sighed deeply.

"Well, she's gonna be here for three weeks" Aeri replied. Jimin was taken aback at the statement of her bestfriend. She already know who she referring to but she needs to confirm her theory so she asked Aeri.

"Who, Aeri?"

Aeri sighed before she continued.

"Minjeong" She answered. Jimin smiled weakly and responded to Aeri.

"Alright, why are you telling me this ?" Jimin asked.

"Well, she said that she wanted us to have a little get together. She misses us" Aeri happily said.

"And I really miss her too, Jimin. It's been a very long time" Aeri genuinely said.

"I miss her too, Aeri" Jimin thought.
