Park Areum's POV
Days passed and me and the others hanged out everyday. We even held a group study for the exams even though I already took the exam but nobody knew about that. During the exam, I was also with them. The teachers gave me test papers which I had to answer but it won't be graded since like I said, I already took the exam. I requested the teachers to do it so the guys won't be suspicious about me. Today was the last day of exams and our graduation will be in two days. It was already dismissal and all of us went to the mall to hangout. All of the guys had their masks on. We decided to pair up and go in separate ways then we'll meet up at a restaurant to eat dinner which will be in a few hours. Jin and Rapmon were paired, Suga and Jeiseu, Jungkook and Young Ji, Jhope and Sun Mi, Taehyung and Minji, then me and Jimin. Me and Jimin decided to just walk around and talk about some random stuffs. "I can't believe we're graduating. It feels like we just met yesterday." Jimin said while chuckling. "Yeah.. I still remember when I told you you're jamless." I said while laughing a bit. "Yah!" he said while playfully glaring at me. "What? It's true." I said while smirking. "I have yes jams." Jimin said which made me laugh. "Aish Jimin... You really have no jams. Remind me later to buy you some jams okay?" I said teasingly. "Why are you like this? You're so mean." He whined. "Aigoo, Chim Chim is so cute when he's whining." I said while pinching his cheeks. He looked away and sighed which made me a bit worried. Jimin usually does this when he's feeling down or something. "Hey, what's wrong?" I said while still holding his cheeks. "Nothing." he said, still not looking at me. "Yah, look at me." I said. He sighed and looked at me in the eyes. "Tell me what's wrong." I said soothingly. "I.. I... I just feel insecure.." he said, almost a whisper. "Insecure? How come?" I asked. I held his hand and made us sit on a bench nearby. "I mean.. Jungkook, Taehyung and Suga hyung have girlfriends. Hobi hyung, Namjoon hyung and Jin hyung may not have girlfriends like me but they're good looking unlike me..." Jimin said while looking down. "How can you say that you're not good looking?" I said. "Look at me, I'm nothing but chubby.. Just look at these cheeks." he said. "No one will ever want a guy like me." he added. I clicked my tongue and held both of his cheeks. "Yah, listen to me okay? You don't have to be insecure. You don't have to change your appearance just for people to like you. And these cheeks?" I said while pinching them a bit. "These cheeks are adorable. If you remove these cheeks, I won't be able to pinch them anymore." I said while pouting. "So what if other people don't like you? So what if they don't like your cheeks? So what if they tell you your chubby? They don't matter. Because I like everything about you. I like how your cheeks looks like when you eat or pout. I like how your cheeks feel whenever I pinch them. You don't have to change your appearance. I like you the way you are. You're my sweet, caring, little mochi." I said while smiling. He looked up to me and held my hand which was holding his cheek. "Really? You really mean that?" he said. "Yes. Every word." I said. He looked at me before pulling me into a hug. "Thank you Areum... I'm so lucky I met you." he muttered while hugging me. "I'm also lucky that I met you." I said while patting his back. Soon, we both pulled away. I smiled and stood up. "Come on, I heard there's a new ice cream parlor. Let's go and try it." I said and held his hand.

Kim Taehyung's POV
Me and Minji were in a store. She was in the fitting room trying on a bunch of clothes while I wait. I glanced outside and saw Areum and Jimin sitting on a bench. I saw Areum holding Jimin's cheeks while saying something. Soon, Jimin pulled Areum into a hug which Areum gladly returned. I guess she has finally moved on... I thought. I was interrupted by my thoughts when someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around and saw Minji holding a some paper bags. "Let's go oppa?" She asked. I gave her smile and nodded. When we got out of the store, I looked at where Jimin and Areum was and saw that they weren't there anymore.

Park Jimin's POV
After a few hours, all of us met up at the restaurant that we agreed to. I excused myself and went to a store. I brought two dog tags, one for me and one for Areum. I asked them to engrave mine with a letter A and engrave Areum's with a letter J. Even though I still have feelings for Areum, I really felt that she's really a good friend. She made me forget my insecurities. She appreciates everything about me. She's really different from other girls. After I got the engraved dog tags, I went back to the restaurant only to find Areum's seat, empty. "Hey guys, where's Areum?" I asked. "I think she's outside." Namjoon hyung said. "Outside? She's not there when I came back." I said. "I mean at the tables that are on the other side of the restaurant. That outside." Namjoon hyung said while pointing the direction. "Ahh.. Haha sorry hyung." I said then made my way to check on Areum. She was alone but she was talking on the phone. I was about to leave when I heard her speak. "What? So you're saying I'll be leaving the country the same day of my graduation? Can't we adjust the schedule and make it the day after?" She said then turned around. She was surprised when she saw me. "I'll call you later." She said and ended the call. "Jimin.. What... What are you doing here?" She stuttered.

Park Areum's POV
"You're leaving?" he said coldly. "Jimin.. I.. I'm sorry." I said. "Why didn't you tell me?" he asked and I just stayed silent. "Were you even planning on telling me about this?" he asked once more. But I just looked at him with sad eyes. "I'm sorry.." I said. "I thought we were best friends... Best friends don't keep secrets from each other." he said. I was about to speak when he suddenly shook his head and left me. After composing myself for a bit. I went back inside and told them I'll be going home, making up an excuse that I wasn't feeling well. I looked at Jimin and he didn't spared me a glance. I'm sorry Jimin... I'm sorry....
