---Taehyung---


To be honest, I was pissed that I had to wait 3 days until Namjoon hyung said it was okay. But now I'm happy to hear that i'm able to make an appearance.

"You know what would be funny?" Jimin spoke.

"What." I said, not looking up from my phone. I kept looking for her Kakao account. It still bugs me to why I can't reach her.

"If we bumped into her. Like, wouldn't it be sooooo weird?" Jimin chuckled. "I'm curious to see if she changed. I bet she'll look the same."

"Yeah." I chewed on my lip.


---Sangchil---


"I'm back." I dropped my shoes by the door.

Charlotte's face appeared. "Hey! I was just making some dinner. Who's your friend there?" She smirked.

"Friend?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Hello! I'm Hanbin."

I froze in my tracks. "You followed me home?" I shouted.

"Yeah." He smiled.

I glared at him. "I thought you were going to go home as soon as we were done classes. Yah, liar."

"You thought, but it didn't happen. Anyways... So this is what your house looks like." He said.

"Hey hey. Who said you could come in?" I snapped and put my arms out so that he couldn't pass.

"Sangchil I play basketball. I can easily pass you."

Charlotte rolled her eyes. "Let the poor boy in, Sangchil. Would you like dinner too Hanbin?"

"Sure!"

"What?! He's not staying for food." I said. I tried to grab his jean jacket but he slipped away and sat in the chair by the counter.

"Hey, I treated you coffee."

"But that's because you wanted to." I smirked.

His lips formed a thin line. "So where's your room?"

"I share this apartment with my two best friends. My room is this way." I told him.


Comparing my old room back at Seoul to my new room here, I had to say my old room was better. I guess it was just the fact that I knew that Taehyung was next door... Which made it seem cozy.

"You have lots of pictures." Hanbin noted. "All polaroids."

"Yeah." I replied. I watched as Hanbin carefully poked around my stuff. "Hey, who's this?"

I looked at the photo he held up. I drew in a sharp breath and snatched it away from him. "A-An old friend. He's not important." I tossed it in the trash bin. "I forgot it chuck that one. It was a bad pic."

"I saw him a couple of days ago. Was that why you were chasing those two boys? You saw him!" Hanbin brightened.

I pinched my nosebridge. "Yeah..."

I sighed. Since years have passed, I confirmed it to myself that Taehyung was to be forgotten. But then the wound has re-opened itself.

"How come you didn't say hi?"

"Hanbin I don't want to talk about him."

"Is he your boyfriend—"

"I don't want to talk about him. He isn't my boyfriend."

He had a surprised expression. "You don't have a boyfriend?"

"No."

"Oh." He looked at my carpet. "I thought you would. C-Cause you're..." He held my hands. "Ah never mind." He burned crimson.

I too, burned red. "H-Hey... Maybe dinner is ready." I suggested.


Charlotte sat down on my bed. "Hey."

I looked up from my daydream. "Hey, what's up?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"You're already asking me something, unnie."

She narrowed her eyes at me. "Anyways, so that Hanbin guy. Is there a thing going on between him and you?"

"Absolutely not! We're friends!"

She giggled. "Alright. I noticed how he makes you happy. Let me ask you Sangchil, does he make you happier than Taehyung does?"

I rolled my eyes. "What is with everyone talking about Tae!" I shouted. "Doesn't anyone get it? He's gone in my life!"

"Oh really?" Charlotte fired back. "I know how much of an impact he made, Sangchil. What i'm trying to say here is that yes Hanbin is a great guy, but keep the gold. Keep Taehyung with you."

"What're you trying to say?" I asked. "Taehyung doesn't know."

"He will. He's—"

All of a sudden Jin bursted in and took Charlotte away. "Yah!" I yelled. "He will what?"
