It's been about a week since our trip to the bakery, and all I can keep thinking about is the memory of his porcelain face outlined in the moonlight, pink lips and glowing eyes, staring down at me before I made the move of no return. I felt it. All the regrets.

He won't talk to me, and he rarely even looks at me, either. Something about the whole thing gives me goosebumps, the thought of things never returning to normal again rattles me. Once again, I'm back at square one, and it only seems to rewind and replay until I'm nothing but a shell of a person left.

"Jimin? Start running before Saje ssi realizes you aren't!" Jin warned me as he passed me up on the track, heaving a bit during his long strides. I looked around myself, and some members were scattered around in different places, giving their absolute best while they followed the path of orange dust, and others were already finished and walking toward the building.

I looked down at my own feet, and they carried me in a slow walk. Had I really been immersed in my own thoughts this whole time to the point where I haven't even been running? I deliberately strayed my mind from that, and forced my feet to move in an uncomfortable speed, one that wouldn't get me in trouble.

I looked beyond the field at trainer Saje ssi, who was glaring at me from behind her sunglasses with an unpleasant look on her face— Shit. She's new, and I don't want to give her a bad first impression of me, so I better make up for it. I pushed myself forward with all of my left over energy and eventually made it past Jin, who confusedly glanced at me as I progressed. Just a few more meters until I can retreat from this hot sunny hell.

The next person I was coming upon was none other than Jungkook, and he jogged with an eased mind, not knowing that I was about to show him up yet again in the same sport. Once again I lashed all of my energy into my feet, and looked back at him with a smile once I was considerably farther down the line than him, only to meet an unamused, rather despising glare.

Because I had been reviewing his face, I knocked into something resulting in me falling on my back, knocking the wind out of me. I heaved and picked my head up to see what had blocked my way, and Saje ssi was laying on her side, already attempting to pick herself back up. I speedily retrieved her hand and pulled, helping her to stand. I also picked up the sunglasses that had fallen off of her face and onto the floor and handed them back to her, finally locking eyes with her almond shaped ones.

"I'm so sorry about that, I should've been more careful," I apologized, feeling completely and utterly reckless for having done that to this fragile and might I say beautiful girl. She smiled and smoothed out her disrupted hair, slipping her sunglasses back on, once again shielding herself off from my view.

"It's fine, accidents happen. You really showed me what you got out there. I have to say, I'm impressed," She stated with a smirk my way, in which I responded equally. "I figured I should give my all. The only benefit is improved skill, so I thought why not," I fibbed slightly, feeling the strangest urge to impress her. I scratched my head embarrassingly, looking back at Jungkook as we started walking up the hill. He stood on the track in the spot me and Saje ssi once stood and he looked.. Well, pissed. I distinctly caught him shake his head and walk in the direction of Taehyung before my trainer spoke again.

"And what is it that you generously contribute to this group? Uh..?" She questioned, leaving an aura in the atmosphere that told me she wanted to know my name. "Oh, right. I'm Jimin- Park Jimin. I'm one of the lead vocals for the group, one of the main dancers, and in charge of good looks," I greeted with a chuckle, holding out my hand to hers. She shook it and smiled at me, a bright friendly smile that reminded me of my own, and I smiled back.

"Well Park Jimin, I don't think I can disagree with the last part," She commented, clearing her throat awkwardly as I looked over to her in disbelief. Did she just indirectly tell me I'm good looking? "Haha, thank you.." I laughed nervously, glancing over at her for a moment. I looked ahead of us and the members who had finished before me were piled up in front of the back doors to our training studio. Suga, Rapmon and Jhope stood in a circle talking, but when Saje ssi and I approached, they all turned around and eyed us both, not saying a word.
