Originally Loved

Chapter 19

The room was filled with deafening silence and she could still hear her own heart beating so fast. Probably due to the fact that she took the stairs to get to her hotel room which was in the seventh floor of the building or was it because she still vibrantly recalled the memories with her. She needed to think. She needed to breathe. She needed time. She needed the space. She tried to remember why'd she decided to come to the place where she was really heartbroken and betrayed by someone who just looked like her. 

Minjeong sat on the hotel bedroom and scanned the vicinity, letting out a heavy sigh. She lied down her bed and stared at the ceiling.

"She changed" Minjeong mumbled, reaching for a pillow and hugged it tightly.

"She was not that same girl, I know. She was composed and polite" She thought, recalling their first encounter.

"You were so rude to me, Jimin. You were" She whispered to herself.

Seven years, she left but she would think that the glimpses of memories were still vigorously alive. There were changes to the place as well as changes of the people she have known for almost six months she have stayed. They were all successful and seemed to be happy with what they achieved in life. Minjeong took her phone, not because she wanted to messaged someone but to look at the pictures she saved during her stay with her friends. Even though, she left and never came back for seven years, she was still very fond of the company of her friends in this place that no one can ever match.

As she was scrolling through her phone, she saw some pictures of Aeri and Somi cuddling with each other. She still couldn't believe that the two is a couple now. They were always bickering with each other in every chance they get and Jimin would be so irritated by them, scolding them in the process. She could not deny the fact that she really miss those moments.

"I wish I could turn back time" She thought. The ginger haired girl continued to scroll through her phone, she stared at the picture of her, Ryujin with Yeji before she left Korea. Ryujin was totally against her decision to leave Korea but she could not stop her since she knew how hurt and devastated her bestfriend is. Minjeong told her not to tell her other friends where'd she go as she didn't want to have any connection with her. Jimin. Ryujin respected her decision and had kept her promise to the devastated young girl in that time. They still had been communicating with each other, Ryujin wanted to make sure that Minjeong is doing good and wouldn't do things to hurt herself. There was one time that Minjeong wanted to kill herself because she wanted to be with Karina in the afterlife. Ryujin thought of it as absurd, after she totally remembered everything, Minjeong was not herself but grieving. She went to Japan just to check on her friend and she would always thanked her for being there with her.

"You are such a good friend" The ginger haired girl mumbled to herself. Her right thumb kept on scrolling and chuckled lightly as she saw Ningning and her, posing cute pictures.

She just missed her weird affection towards her. She didn't know what Ningning sees in her and that she was intrigued of even marrying her. She cackled at the thought that Soobin and her would be a thing. She always perceived her as homosexual and would never date guys, but looking at how in love she is with Soobin is just a great feeling and happy for both of them.

Still scrolling. Trying to find some pictures of the girl she once despised, hoping that she still have saved some even though she already deleted all of the photos containing her face. Seeing Jimin in flesh after seven years, was such a refreshing one. She wanted to hate the girl, but she cannot do it. She seemed to admire her more but something tells her that do not fool by the angelic face and you would end up falling into her fiery pithole. She cried over her for years and Karina didn't want that, she deeply knows. The only thing that confuses Minjeong was that she met the girl for six months but she made a big impact in her life. And it was the unsaid feeling toward the girl. She might looked like her Karina but she never said her true feelings towards the girl. She couldn't since she left.
