1 year later..

He never found her.

A year since the day Chorong left, Jimin never heard anything from her. He tried to go after her only to find out that Chorong didn't showed up at Japan. He was more than devastated, because it dawned to him how much Chorong had grown onto him. He tried going back to Japan half a year since Chorong disappeared but no, she never really showed up.

He tried asking all of Chorong's friends about her whereabouts but none of them knew, saying that Chorong cut all the connections between her and her friends and before he knew it, a year had passed.

"Jimin." Chanyeol called as soon as he stepped inside his cousin's office. "What?" He asked with his eyes focused on the papers in front of him and not caring to spare his cousin a glance.

"I need you to come to Jeonju tomorrow." Chanyeol said and after hearing the words from his cousin, Jimin dropped the papers he's holding and have his cousin an incredulous look. "Why does it have to be me?" Jimin asked, irritation evident in his voice.

"Because they personally requested you, I don't know how or why they know you but the school president asked for you. So whether you like it or not, pack your things." Chanyeol said while looking at his cousin who's now rubbing his red eyes.

"And once you go there, go to an optical  shop, you need glasses." Chanyeol said as fished a card out from his wallet and threw it on Jimin's table. "It's a famous optical shop in Jeonju. Go there." Chanyeol said before taking his leave. Jimin on the other hand can't do anything but to let out a deep sigh because as much as he disliked to go, Chanyeol already made his demand.

In Jeonju..

"Thank you for giving us the chance to hear your advices, sir. We hope to see you in the next upcoming school activities like this. It was a big inspiration for the students." The school president said as he offered Jimin a handshake. "It's my pleasure Mr. Park, the kids listened well. It was fun." Jimin said sincerely and the man chuckled before patting Jimin's shoulder gently.

"You're always welcome to visit us here." The president said and Jimin nodded his head before giving his final bow and leaving.

Arriving in his hotel room, Jimin fished his phone out of his pocket and was about to call his cousin when a card dropped on the floor catching his attention. "What's this?" Jimin said picking the card up and flipping the card over and saw that it was the card Chanyeol gave him.

Rubbing his eyes, Jimin let out a deep sigh as he dropped all his things on the bed before leaving his hotel room again.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?" A middle aged man asked as soon as Jimin entered the optical store. Looking around, Jimin gave the man a bow. "I'm here to get glasses for my eyes." Jimin said and the man chuckled. "I haven't seen you around, are you new here?"  The man asked as he guided Jimin inside the optical store.

"Uh, no. I'm actually from Seoul and I have some work to do here and my cousin recommended this place to me since I need my eyes to get checked." Jimin said and the man smiled before nodding his head motioning Jimin to take a seat in one of the stools.

"Okay, I see our shop's famous around Seoul too." The man said with a chuckle and Jimin smiled a little. "We'll check your eyes first, then I'll recommend the right glasses for you. Okay?" The man asked and Jimin nodded his head.

The test didn't go too long and Jimin felt relief when the man told him that his eyes are still in a better condition but what bothered him is the facial structure of the man in front of him. He looked like someone, someone Jimin had been looking for.
