chapter 4

park jimin

i was in my room playing video games when i heard shouting downstairs. "are they fighting again?" i sighed in frustration. lately my parents kept arguing and its breaking my heart. i went downstairs and walked into the living room and saw dad about to hit mom.

"appa!" i shouted in disbelief, not believing the scene in front of me.

they quickly turn their heads towards me and i saw their eyes soften, but i don't care.

i was in the verge of tears.

"can't i have a happy family?!" i shouted and i stormed out of the house. i heard they were calling my names but i just ignored it. i ran to a nearby park and sat on my favourite bench.

i sat down and cupped my face in my hands and then i suddenly started sobbing. i was crying my heart out when i felt someone tapped my shoulder softly.

"are you okay?" it's a girl.

"huh?" i lifted my head in confusion.

wha- i can't be dreaming right?

"jeon hyemi?"

"p-park jimin?"

-

"can i sit beside you" she asked, somehow, coldly.

"o-of course!" i scooted aside.

"gomawo" she mumbled.

the awkward tension filled the air. we just sat there in silent. i never thought i would meet my high school lover. at the place, where we had our first kiss. we were a happy couple back then. but i ruined it. i was a selfish brat.

i cleared my throat. "so- um, wanna grab some coffee?" i asked nervously.

she looked at me. "sure" she smiled slightly.

god, how much i missed that smile.

but somehow i can feel emptiness in it.

i stood up. "kaja" i said.

she stood up and we walked to the cafe together.
