The One: Unrequited | PJM & KTH

9. To see her smile

2 years ago...

Ever since Jimin left abroad. Things have change, many things did. He doesnt call or update anymore. That made Jia worry about him.

Its always Jia who call him first and the way he would talk to her is never the same. His voice and tone is filled with coldness and Jia would feel like a burden to him when he supposed not to let Jia feel that way because she is his girlfriend.

His busy schedule would always the reason he cannot call or even update. Everything's becoming suspiscious when he always have the same reason for over a year now.

He would talk to her through the phone in less than a minute and would hang up immediately.

The last time Jia talked to him like they used to was a year ago now.

Jimin didnt even come back on his break as he promised. Jia was sad but remain understanding because she thought it must have been hard to be abroad.

It pains her when she doesnt know what to do to help Jimin. It pains her more when Jimin started to become distant to her, he doesnt tell her everything or how is he out there , is he okay or something went wrong.

Even just a 'Yes I am doing fine here' reply would somehow ease her mind but he didnt.

Everything has changed.

Jimin has changed.

And it is devastating when they never heard about Jimin for over a year.

It's a heavy rainy morning. The air was cold and the outside was gloomy and dark. Jia was stuck on her bed for 24 hours already, she didnt even eat. Wearing a loose sweatshirt and shorts with her white blanket didnt even covered her whole body as the cold air pierced in her skin but she felt nothing at all.

She watch the raindrops cascade down on her window as her cold tears fall from her puffy and swollen eyes.

Her muffled cries echoed in her room. She doesnt know what to feel.

All she felt was loneliness and her world was dark like the gloomy clouds above.

The rain suddenly poured down heavily as she just lay there still nothing to feel at all.

Her phone suddenly made a clink sound that means she just received a notifaction as she immediately wipe her tears away and sit up.

Her hair was messy and dry. It used to be so soft and healthy but she doesnt care about herself anymore. She hope that the notification would be from someone she wait and hope for.

But when she grabs and open her phone, she let out a sigh when she saw the message from Taehyung.

'I didnt see you at school today,
are you okay?'

She now just realized that she didnt even go to university, today. She imagine her mom and dad would be so angry at her, again. She look again at her phone and saw the time it was 9:43 a.m and her class started 2 hours ago.

Jia look at Taehyung's message and doesnt know what reply to the question if she is okay.

Am I even okay?

She thought as she let out a small scoff as she started typing to her phone.
