just like a dream from the younger days,
just like a miracle.

I love you, V!

The concert ended days ago but Yerin's post concert disease doesn't wear off.

It was all so surreal.

For the first time of many, she proved he is real and existing. From all her gazes at the screens, actually seeing him felt really different. Her heart flutters a hundred times louder than before. With the close distance from the stage to her seat, she feels she has him at the tip of her fingers for just a flinch.

She already said "Thank you!" a thousand times to Sowon and Eunha as the two constantly insists and are really sinistered by her actions but she feels like they still owe her big time. They provided her ineffable happiness for just 120 minutes like no one could replace her in terms of being in immense joy.

Seeing Taehyung felt so right. As if she is really fated to meet him and the fact is strongly carved in huge stone.

As if the puzzle piece traced there that threatens to be completed actually found its missing piece. The words Taehyung and Yerin really go in one sentence.

As if this whole thing was a dream come true. A miracle.

But nostalgia exists.

Even if it is more than enough that Taehyung's eyes met hers, Yerin missed him. She cannot see him again and that drives her crazy.

At that idea, Yerin concluded.

She's definitely emotionally attached to the bearer of the name Kim Taehyung.

She isn't in love.

She loves.

"One order of iced caramel machiatto to go!" She yelled and pressed the bell twice, squinting to read her co-worker's ridiculous handwriting on the cup. "Ma'am Soyee?"

A tall girl that looks just at her age lightly raised her hand to catch Yerin's attention. Yerin turned to the lady's table and flashed a smile. "Here you go, Miss."

Though the concert ended, she kept working at that particular cafe she got cultured to. She realized that making money by herself was somehow fun and didn't want to end serving coffee and food like she did for 4 months.

The bell chimed for the second chance. And ShinB with Jackson came forth.

"Two cappuccinos for me and my lady, please?" Jackson said, trying to sound fancy but ShinB concealed her laugh in embarrassment. He looked stupid.

Yerin rolled her eyes. "Yeah, sure. Whatever, Jackson." She said bluntly and scribbled a few lines in her notepad before tearing and hanging the page.

She watched as Jackson escorts ShinB towards their seat. ShinB laughed in ridicule. Yerin enjoyed witnessing the lovers as it breaks her to pieces.

With Taehyung the only person whom her heart knows, she cannot experience liking someone or being liked back.

No one actually wants to date her, but still, if ever there would be, her loved still matters more to her.
