Far Than Near To Me.

Chapter 2: (seokjin's pov)

Standing by the iron gate, I couldn't tear my eyes away from her. The memories flooded back, her smile, her kindness – it all reminded me of a time when things were simpler, when she was by my side.

But I had tried to forget her, to bury those memories deep within me. Every time she invaded my dreams, I would wake up with tears streaming down my face, longing for a past that could never be reclaimed. It was hard to forget her to be honest. It haunted me so much. She haunted me.

"𝒊𝒕'𝒔 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆, 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒈𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒐 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓"

Turning to the guard, I couldn't help but ask about her. I don't know why ?

Jin: Who is she?

I inquired, my voice barely above a whisper. The guard glanced at her fondly before replying,

The guard: Oh, she's Y/N. She comes here every Sunday, been doing so for the past two years.

Jin: Why haven't I seen her before?

He hesitated before answering,

The guard: Well, her parents passed away two years ago on Sunday, and she started coming here to spend time with the orphaned children. It's become her routine.

His words felt like a punch to the gut, shattering the illusion I had built around her. She had suffered loss too, and yet she remained so selflessly devoted to helping others.

A part of me wanted to go to her, to ask if she was doing alright, I wanted to know each and every inch of the pain she felt, but her harsh words echoed in my mind, a painful reminder of the distance between us.

"What do you call this love? It's just a teenage attraction. You'll get over it soon, Seokjin."~y/n

Clutching my fists tightly, I clenched my jaw, she didn't once think about me before saying that to me, why do I care so much about her still ? I fought back the urge to reach out to her. Despite everything, my feelings for her hadn't changed. But what about her? Had she moved on while I remained stuck in the past? I was still there ud she would have looked back I was on the same place she left me, I always stayed in those big walls of my mansion. If she needed me she would have came back to me ?

Glancing at her left ring finger, I felt a pang of bitterness as I noticed the ring adorning it. She was already married, her life moving forward while I remained frozen in time.

Lost in my thoughts, I barely noticed the guard's attempts to engage me in conversation. As the guard continued to speak, I found myself lost in a whirlwind of emotions, grappling with the conflicting feelings churning inside me. His questions pierced through the haze of my thoughts, forcing me to confront him.

Jin: I'm sorry, what did you say?

The guard repeated his question, his expression filled with concern.

The guard: I was asking if you're alright. You seem lost in thought.

Forcing myself to focus, I nodded.

Jin: Yeah, I'm fine. Just... reminiscing.

But before the guard could inquire further, my phone rang, interrupting our conversation. With a quick glance at the caller ID, I saw it was Scarlet, my best friend and confidante.
