Ah, well. I know my targets are small but.. for me, they are quite big.

Hope we achieve it soon!

It has been four months since Jungkook has not returned home.

It worries me.

We have heard nothing from him, and with each glimmer of moonlight, I am reminded of the distance between us.

The distance between two hearts.

Well, not two. Just one; only mine.

I thought that I won't fall for him but this unexpected separation is making me crave him more than ever.

This feeling is insane and maddening.

"My dear, do not deny yourself what you want" Jiwoo said, placing her hand on my shoulder in a comforting manner.

I sighed.

She already knows everything. From my troubled childhood to my newfound attraction for Jungkook, and the complications along it.

"It's of no use" I said.

"Until you try, you won't get anything" She suggested and I chuckled bitterly.

"You want me to look desperate, don't you?" I asked and silence prevailed.

I stared at the shining full moon and then Jiwoo stood in front of me.

"You don't have to put in any effort for it, you already are..Desperate"

Those words struck the right nerve inside me.

"I'm not" I insisted, a look of disapproval flickered on her face.

"Are you convincing me or yourself?" She asked, and I groaned.

She is not a therapist, she is a damn mind reader. She knows me too well.

In these months of companionship, we grew very close.

I didn't even realise when I started feeling better about myself. Neither did she make me feel like she was a therapist and only doing her job.

It never felt like that.

She listened to me, made me pour out my heart like I've never done with anyone else.

All this while she was staying in the room next to mine. It felt really nice and comforting to have a woman in this house.

A few days before, I got to know that it was Jungkook who instructed Jiwoo to stay in this house, even after her therapy sessions.

And here I used to think that she stayed because I begged her to.
