⠀⠀⠀'Don't tell me bye bye,

⠀⠀⠀You make me cry cry,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Love is a lie lie,

⠀Don't tell me, don't tell me bye bye'


We end our 'Run' performance smoothly but the last sentence keep repeating in my ears. Why did she left me? Why she made me cry? Why she tell me bye?

---


I still remember my first encounter with her. It wasn't a happy day for me,  I was so tired that I didn't speak much. We just arrived back in Seoul after a long flight. Weather doesn't seems like welcoming us as well, it was cloudy and I'm so sure that it will raining soon.

Wearing my mask and glasses, I scan around and as I expected, it wasn't crowd like usual. Something come up and we need to changed our flight out of sudden, so none of ARMY notice about it.

I was walking with the guys when I smell something good, something refreshing. Shifting my eyes to left, I caught this coffee shop and my leg tell me I should go and get a cup.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Jungkook-ah, I'm gonna bought a cup of coffee first. You want some?"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Oh? Nope, I'm not in the mood. I will just accompany you then?"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"It's alright. You may going first, tell others to wait for awhile. I really feels like having this coffee." I grin, although he won't be able to see it.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Fine. See you later." He replies and continue walking to the way out.


After ordering, while waiting for my coffee I scan around only to find a girl with deep pink beanie on her head drowning in her thick book on the corner. She was wearing a big nerd glasses, yet she still look so cute.

In another corner, there are few business man that seems like being here just to kill time, because they doesn't talking each other. Shrugging off my thoughts, I pay my attention back to the bartender that almost done my coffee.

My smile grew wider behind my mask once I got my coffee. Sniffing its good smell, I can't wait to taste it. So I quickly turn around and bump at something, or someone?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Ashhhh~~" She hissed in pain makes me realize that my coffee just spilled on her hand that turn a little bit red now. That must be hurt, since it's still so hot.

I look up to her and realize she was the girl with deep pink beanie and big glasses.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Oh my God! I'm so sorry!!!" I yelled in panic and took her hand. "Awww!!" She yelled slowly makes me stop.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I-I really sorry." I release her hand slowly, realizing that I just hurted her hand again.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"If this left permanent scars and no one want to hold this hand, you should took responsibility." She replies.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I-I will! I will hold it if nobody want to." I replies still stuttering makes her sigh.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I was just kidding. I know you didn't mean to, it's me who keep staring at my book while walking, so I didn't see you turn around." She replies calmly and let out a little smile that caught my eyes, wow.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I-it's my fault too. I'm too excited for my coffee that I didn't turn around slowly and hurt your hand. Oh, wait let's get your hand something."


After I told her to clean up her hand, I helped her get ointment in the nearest store and took off my mask before help her put it on the scars.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I-I'm sorry, it looks like I hurt you pretty bad." I said in apologetic ways while treat her scars.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"N-nevermind, if it could makes me look at you this close." She mumbling something makes me look up to meet her eyes, who were staring at me.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"W-what?" I asked pretending that I missed what she said, deep inside I was laughing at her blank face.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"E-eh??? Nothing. Nothing." She look away, hiding her blushing face.

I look down, focus back on her hand while biting my lower lips preventing me to grin wider. This girl is just something. She looks cool and chic outside, but warm and cute inside.

Actually I completely realize that I already done put the ointment on her hand, but I still holding her hand and I don't know why.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Err, sorry but are you done?" She asked suddenly snap me out from my daydream.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"A-ah, yeah yeah." I answer and release her hand. "Here, keep this and use it everyday after you bath, it will help you make the scar invisible." I continue and handing her the ointment.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Thank you, ... err?"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Taehyung, Kim Taehyung.." I quickly reach out my hand to her which she gladly accept it.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Nice to meet you, Taehyung. I'm Yoorin. Han Yoorin." She smiled makes her eyes turn into cute eyesmile as she pull back her glasses that drop down a bit.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Han Yoorin." Out of my control, I whisper her name slowly and makes me grin like an idiot.

I don't know how I look like, but it was so obvious because Yoorin was holding her laugh.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"So, Yoorin.. Can I-"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Yeah?"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Can I borrow your phone?"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Oh? Phone?" She looks confused but looking for it inside her bag. "Ah, it run out of battery. Do you need to make a call, I know where to h-"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"N-No. No. I didn't mean that." I cut her, didn't believe that she doesn't realize my intention.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Then? Why you need to borrow my phone?" She ask innocently makes me biting my lips again, trying to keep my cool.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Aish, Yoorin-ssi, can I have your number?" I asked clearly this time, I don't know how to pull off this game with her again. She definitely one of a kind.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Oh? Number?" She asked back and I nod, handing my phone to her. I hope she understood what I mean now.

Gladly she took it and type her number in makes me let out a relief sigh, but then.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"There you go." She said and return it to me, "But why you want to have my number?" She asked innocently and I can't help my self to pinch that rosy cheeks.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"So you can contact me if no one want to hold you hand." I chuckles while pinching her cheeks.


And that's how it started.


We don't need months or weeks to realize our own feelings. When she finally accept my confession, I was so happy that I nearly broke into tears.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I can't believe you're really the one who gonna hold my hand now." She whispers in my embrace.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Yeah, I will always hold your hand, and you too. Please, hold me, hold me tight." I replies and tighten my grip on her.

In a midnight of cold winter season, under the snowy rain, I think I'm not gonna feel cold anymore, because I have her. I have Yoorin by my side.

Our love story isn't the most romantic one, but for me it's more than enough because I have her, and I feel like I'm the happiest man on earth.

Everything feels so right in our first year. Although we need to have our secret date in the midnight, and can't do things that other couples usually do, but we're happy. At least I know she love me, or I thought she love me?

Because if she love me, she won't give up that fast?

Or Am I the one who give up too fast??


After 3 years dating secretly, I decided to meet her parents. At first, she reject my idea but I insisted, because I'm serious with her and I want her parents to know about us, to know about me.

I never know it will become the reason for our break up.


⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Let's break up, Yoorin." I can't believe I blurted out that word.

She looks surprised at first but chuckles the next seconds.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Great one, Tae. Your jokes are getting non-sense. Stop saying those thing unless I wi-"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I'm not joking. Let's break up." I said it for the second time and put on my serious mask.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"W-What are you saying?? You want us to break up??" She ask while come to me closer.

I look away, can't manage to look at her sad eyes. I can't. I will took back my words if I look at her.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Yeah, break up. I just-" I paused trying to find a good reasons that won't hurt her, but damn it I already hurt her when I heard her voice crack, she must be near in tears.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"W-why?"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I-" I closed my eyes and bite my lower lips harder, hold back my tears and turn to meet her eyes. "I don't love you anymore, Yoorin. No, I never love you. I thought I love you but in the fact, I was wrong. So let's break up now." I said staring at her eyes that filled with tears that slowly drop on her cheeks.

Her lips were parting and her tears slowly and slowly flowing from her beautiful eyes. She's still so beautiful, even when she cried. I don't want to do this. I hate to do this, but I have to.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Leave." I said coldly before turn my back on her.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I don't know what I did wrong. If falling in love with you deeply is wrong, then I'm sorry." She managed to say something after crying silently. "If leaving you will makes you happy, I will, leave." She continue and I can hear her footstep slowly walkaway from me.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I can't hold you tight anymore, Taehyung. Please find someone who will. Good bye, Taehyung." She added before completely leave my room in our dorm.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"How I can find someone else when I'm still in love with you, Yoorin??" I broke down in tears that I've been holding for awhile.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Then why you broke up with her? Don't you see she's hurted??" Jimin coming to the room, he must be notice Yoorin left in tears.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I can't be with her, Jimin! Her parents didn't let me!!"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Why??? Why you can't be with her???"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Because I'M AN IDOL!!" I yelled back at him and turn to him completely.

He was surprised by my appearance, I guess I must looks so mess that Jimin staring at me and widening his eyes.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"And you give up just like that? What's so wrong being an idol?" I heard Hoseok hyung coming in the room.

I held my head down, don't brave to show them my face.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"What's so wrong of dating an idol? We're human too." It's Namjoon's hyung this time.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"No, you guys don't understand. Her father was right, I can't promise her anything as an idol. I'm not that good enough for her. I can't protect her 24/7. I'm not there when she needed me the most. I'm afraid she might get hurt if public know I'm dating her. I can't take the risk!" I shouted back this time I look up and realize that all of BTS members are in my room now.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Do what your heart tell you to do, not what others tell you to."

As we walk out from the venue, that sentence keep repeating in my ears ever since then. My heart, what my heart tell me to do?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Then something hit my mind hard. I realize I just did the biggest mistake in my life.


Before I get into the van along with BTS, I tap on Jungkook's shoulder makes him turn to me.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I need to do something now, don't wait for me." I smiled and leaving him dumbfounded.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"HYUNG!!?? WHERE ARE YOU GOING???" I heard him yelled.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I'M GOING TO DO WHAT MY HEART TELL ME TO!!" I yelled back and run somewhere I wanted to be.


Once I reach her house it was near midnight. I hold my knees, panting hard. I never know I could running this far and this fast. I hope I'm not late yet.

Glance at her window on 2nd floor, surely I took out my phone, went to her contact and hit the call button without hesitate.

⠀It has been the fourth tone and she haven't p-

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Hello?"

We just broke up in less than 24 hours, but why do I feel like it has been 24 years. I missed her voice. So. Much.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Let's runaway." I said excitedly.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀".... What?" She must be surprised.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I know I just did the biggest mistake in my life, which is broke up with you. I'm so stupid because I didn't do what my heart tell me to do. I'm sorry if I hurt you, but if you give me one more chance, I swear I won't h-"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Do you think it's funny?" Her voice cracked up again, and I can hear her sniffing.

I stopped my move and listen to her before slowly climb up again.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"You broke up with me out of nowhere and now asking me to give you second chance and runaway with you? Do you think I'm that easy to play with?? Kim Taehyung, listen I will-"

She stopped once she heard light knocks on her windows. Her eyes quickly shifted to meet my eyes who waving behind her window, the usual spot that I used when I visited her at night.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Open it." I said and she drop her phone, look away from me.

She must be hate me now. I thought she won't open the windows for me, so I turn around and about to leave when I heard her open the window and back hug me.

⠀⠀⠀I feel. Alive.

Release her grip, I turn back and hug her tight, just like how it ought to be.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I'll explain everything later, but if you love me and willing to left everything for me, let's runaway. Because the only thing I can do is run with you, because I love you. I don't care if I fall down or get injured, as long as it's with you, so please.." I released the hug and cup her cheeks, showing my glistening eyes hoping she would hold me back again.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Will you take responsibility if I-" I cut her impatiently.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I will take any responsibility and give my whole life to you, if that's not enough I w-" and then it's her turn to cut me, with her lips.

⠀Her lips that I've been missing for awhile. This feelings she gave me whenever she touch me enough to burst me to heaven, but I need to wake up, because I need to protect her.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"What you say, Yoorin?"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I trust you." She smile.

Here we are, in God-know-where. We were laying side by side on a top of a cheap truck in a beach, star gazing.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"So, that's the reasons why you broke up with me out of the blue?" She asked calmly after I told her everything.

There's no point to hide everything from her, Yoorin is a girl who can see through everything.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Hmm, I'm sorry, I made you cried." I turn to her who lay her head on my arms and give her comforting looks as I caressed her cheeks. "You must be crying all night long because of me? Look at your puffy eyes." I added and slowly touch her eyebags.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I was crying hard because I don't know what I did wrong. You don't even give any reasons to me, so I really frustrating and-" I can't stand her blabbering in panic so I peck her.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"It was in the past now, I will never ever leave you, even if you parents threaten to kill me." I stated seriously but she chuckles. "Hey, I'm serious."

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I know. Thanks for make up your mind and come back to me." She grin. "Then, what are we going to do after this?"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I already planing to take you to somewhere, out from Seoul." I grin look at her confused face.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Where??"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Daegu, my home town. I want you too meet my parents, but.."

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"But??"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"But I hope this time you won't say bye to me." I pouted, remembering that bad day.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"You're the one who makes me say those words!!" She hit my chest lightly makes me laughed.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I won't do that again because I don't wanna see you cry anymore." I said and pull her closer to me.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I'll remember that, now... can we get some ramen? I'm hungry."

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Sure, how about race to the nearest 24 hours restaurant?"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I'm not in the mood for run." She groans cutely.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I'll piggyback you, so we will run, together."
