Soeun's p.o.v

It's been five days since I've seen Jimin. No calls, no texts. Even the others haven't see him. I'm so worried now. Where could he be ? In hopes of distracting me, Jin-oppa taught me how to bake a cake. Namjoon-oppa shared some books with me, and Yoongi-oppa and I went to the movies after. Hoseok-oppa and I learned a new dance. Taehyung-oppa brought me to the zoo. Jungkook never fails in texting me every night and tells me that Jimin will appear soon.

A knock resonated throughout the empty apartment. I slowly padded through the hardwood floor and opened the door. The next thing I know I was engulfed in a warm hug. From a familiar person that I've been waiting for.

"Jiminnie." I whispered and hugged him tighter. He just hugged me. He broke away from the hug and kissed me. Something is wrong.

"I missed you Soeun." He said quietly and hugged me again. We spent the whole night cuddling. He fell asleep before me and I layed there beside him thinking something was off. His phone vibrated on the bedside table.

'Hyerim' The ID read. My heart accelerated.

Who is Hyerim ?

'I miss you already. Please comeback.' I read the message and my heart dropped. Attached to it was a picture of a crescent moon on the girl's flat stomach. I looked at Jimin and slowly lifted his shirt up and saw the same moon on his side. Tears started welling up on my eyes. I turned the phone off and slowly made my way to the bathroom. I quietly shut the door and slid down. I cried silently afraid that it'll wake the sleeping man up.

Why does this happen ? Why me ? I loose everyone I love. Why is it always me ? Please let me be selfish for just a little while. The only thing I ever want for myself more than anything. Just a little while.

I continued pretending I don't know anything the days after. I pretended I didn't notice his kisses being less sweeter and his hugs shorter. I pretended I didn't notice him sneaking away every night and pretended the there was no Hyerim. Every time he'd sneak out I'd cry my eyes out. Pitying myself. Wondering when I'd stop hurting myself. It continued for 3 weeks.

No one noticed that Jimin was different. No one noticed I was quieter than I used to be. I was the only one who knew and I gave up. Jimin and I are now sitting on his dining room.

"Jimin." I called him. He looked up at me and smiled. It made my heart ache. I feel tears starting to come so I looked away.

"Why didn't you tell me ?" I quietly asked him and he froze. Please don't lie to me.

"W-what ?" He stuttered. I blinked my tears away.

"I know about Hyerim Jimin. Why didn't you just tell me ?" I said my voice cracking in the end.

"I was gonna tell you. She means nothing Soeun believe me. You're the one I love. She's just attached to me by a label." He stated while making me look at him using his hand. My tears fell.

"If she's nothing then why would you sneak out everynight ? If she's nothing why isn't our relationship the same anymore ? Why can't I feel the love when you kiss me or hug me ? Why did you have to lie to me ?" I cried into his chest struggling to get away.

"Give me another chance please. I messed up but I love you. I love you please Soeun. Something just compelled me to do those believe me." His voice cracking and I pushed him away gently from me. I took my handbag and made my way out his house and ran. Ran like I did weeks ago. Until I reached the park near my house and I sat on the swings and cried. Cried like what I've been doing for weeks.
