Karina: Our Perfectly Imperfect Relationship (My Cute Junior Part 4)

summary: long awaited ending to baker karina. Very long story ahead

Jimin followed you inside your apartment, sitting down on the couch. There was a moment of silence before Jimin decided to speak up. She had to be the bigger person to solve the problem she started.

"i'm sorry for all the mean things that I've said... i really don't mean any of it... it was all in the rush of the moment ... in a fit of rage... i'm really sorry for hurting you with my words... i shouldn't have neglected our friendship and shared my burdens with you... i know nothing will be the same as before but can we go back to where we were? as close friends."

Seeing Jimin sincerely apologising, you felt that you should do the same too.

"Jimin, I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have said things that agitated you further when you were stressed out. I should have stayed by your side instead of leaving. Knowing how bad the situation must've been for you, I should've been there to support you. Of course we are still close friends. Nothing has changed. I made a promise to you, didn't I?"

"thank you for giving me another chance. i promise to treat you better than i ever did." Jimin smiled as she stared into your eyes.

Afterwards, you two caught up with each other until you heard Jimin's stomach growl. She looked down in embarrassment.

"sorry... i haven't really been eating well since that day."

"It's okay. I bought some chicken and tteokbokki before heading over to the bakery to find you"

"you went to the bakery to find me?"

"Yep. Minjeong convinced me to talk to you."

"well, Aeri convinced me to talk to you too."

Jimin and you laughed after realising that this was an elaborate plan set up by the girls so that you two will make up with each other.

As Jimin and you ate the food in silence, she felt that this was the perfect chance to tell you her true feelings. Before she lost you again. You could see that Jimin was deep in thought.

"Is there something you like to say?"

"Yes, a lot actually. Hope you can bear with me for a while."

"I'm all ears."

"You know. Ever since you joined the club, I saw you struggling with the dance moves. That's why I offered to teach you after club activities.

Despite having a tiny crush on you, I thought I was just trying to be a kind senior. Taking special care of a struggling junior and looking out for him.

Little did I know it was because I had developed a soft spot for you. Seeing you have fun dancing made me really happy and I wanted to see more of it.

As time went past, we started to hang out more frequently and I loved every moment of it. That was when my feelings for you started to grow.

I rejected every confession I've received because I already had someone in mind. Someone who was so important to me yet unaware of my feelings for him.

Too scared to confess, I could only stay silent next to the cute junior I liked. Cherishing every moment spent with him.

However, time doesn't stop for anyone. After many memories made together, it was time for me to leave school.

Graduating was supposed to be a happy occasion but all I could think about was how we won't be seeing each other in school anymore.

What made the day worse was being unable to spend it with you. I was busy receiving confessions from strangers whose faces I don't even remember while you were silently standing beside me witnessing all of it.
