An awkward silence filled the room, it's just the two of us. I can't stand this awkward feeling that's why I cut it off.

"Taehyung, if you don't have anything to say I will leave, my members are waiting for me." I said but he's just staring at me and that made me more awkward. It's even more awkward because I'm not used to call him in his real name.

"I need to go. Bye." I said and headed towards the door but he stopped me by pulling my hands and held it tight.

"I-Is it wrong if I say I am still missing you?" He said and that made me frozen. What is he saying now? Didn't he ignore me for 3 years and now he's saying he's still missing me? This is unbelievable.

"Hah. Seriously Tae, that's the best you can say after all these years?" I said and faced him. I removed his grip to my hands but he just tightened it. Seriously what does he want now?

"Kim Taehyung, let me go. I need to go." He ignored my words and just looked at his hand holding my hand.

"I can't. We need to talk." He said as he look at me straight in the eyes. This is nuts.

"What do you want now? After all these years of ignoring me now you're saying we need to fu*king talk? Are you out of your mind or you're just plain stupid?" I said and used all my strength to let go from his grip, luckily it worked.

"Sorry." He said and looked down and that made me raging.

"Sorry? Seriously? V I need and explanation. I need an acceptable reason." Did I just call him V?

"It's just that--" His words were cut off when my phone rang.

"Hello?" Irene called me.

"Where are you now? We need to leave asap." She said and I looked at him.

"Okay I'm on my way." I said and ended the call.

"We'll talk some other time. I need to go." I said and walked to the door.

"But--"

"Bye." I left him and started sprinting out of the building to the parking lot. I saw the van and immediately entered it.

"What took you so long?" My manager asked and the members looked at me.

"I-I just needed to drop a bomb that's why." I lied and the members are holding their laughter.

"Okay." Manager said and we went off.

I went straight to my bed, not worrying about removing my makeup and changing my clothes. This is so fu*ked up. I knew this day will come but I'm still not ready to face him though I want an explanation from him.

"Yah Sooyoung-ah, what's the problem? Is it V?" Irene said as she enter the room. We share the same room.

"Yeah. I mean why did he show up? I just wanted to put everything behind us because past is just past." I said.

"You forgot the last line." Irene said. What?

"What are you talking about?"

"You forgot to say, 'Gosh I hate him so much but he's so hot.'" Irene said while rolling her eyes. Seriously, what is she talking about?

"What the hell?" I said as I throw a pillow on her.

"Duh. That's Krystal sunbaenim's line on The Heirs. You don't really watch TV, do you?" She said as she throw the pillow back at me.

"Tss." I said and bury my face in my bed.

"Seriously though, did you have a talk with him?" She said and I faced her.

"How did you know?"

"Guts."

"Yeah we did, kinda." I said and sat straight.

"You didn't let him finish?"

"I would but you called me to come down so." I said and smiled at her playfully.

"Because Manager told me to. Anyway, I think having a talk with him isn't a bad idea you know to finally let go of the past." I didn't respond.

"Look Sooyoung, I know it's been hard for you for the past 3 years but don't you think it's finally time to move on?"

"I am moved on."

"No, you're not. If you are then why can't you look at him? Do you still love him?"

"I'm not sure. I'm scared." I said. I don't know what to do.

"Scared? Of what?"

"I'm scared because I think I still love him."

"What's so scary in being in love Sooyoung-ah, it's wonderful but too much love will kill you."

"Hey isn't it a song?" I looked at her.

"Yes, but it's true." Irene chuckled.

"Yeah it is."

"But for real Sooyoung, there's no harm in trying. Maybe having a closure is a good idea to you know finally letting go of the past."

"Okay, I'll try." Right after I said it my phone rang.

"Who's that?" Irene asked me.

"Dunno. Unknown number." I said as I reject the call.

"Maybe it's important."

"I don't care, I wouldn't know." I said and my phone rang again.

"Answer it, there's no harm in trying." Irene finally convinced me to answer the call.

"Hello?" I said but I can only hear a breathing sound.

"Hello? If you're not going to answer, I'm going to end the call." I said, this person called me but this person's not answering. Weird.

"Okay, b--" Right before I finished my sentence, the person spoke.

"H-hey Joy." Sh*t I can recognise the voice. It can't be. I know it's him but I don't wanna be obvious.

"W-who's this?" I said. Ghad I almost choke.

"It's me, Kim Taehyung."
