BEST OF ME ~ ParkJimin [EDITING]

22. They're Happy Tears

HEEJIN'S POV

I walked towards 'our usual spot'. This is where I come to get my mind off worries but it was the reverse. I was crying. Breaking up with Jimin was much harder than I thought. Why did I even do that if I'm gonna be sulking here like this. I didn't even tell him I was carrying his baby. He probably woyuldn't care since he was so angry I met up with Eunjung. All she told me today must be true, It wasn't really here that was holding on to him but it was the reverse. He could have just come out cleanly that he still had feelings for her. Why'd he tell me he was in love with me? I'm so sick of this (fake) love.

The tears didn't seem to stop falling. I didn't realise how much love I had for him until now. The pain was just too much for me. I didn't want him to keep seeing her, I don't like being insecure for any reason. But it was more because I was jealous of Jimin's attention towards her. He even admitted he was seeing her when accused him of that. He told me he had a reason he kept seeing her and I wanted to believe it so much but he wouldn't even tell me. I absolutely didn't want to share him with another woman. My thoughts were disturbed when someone tapped my shoulder. I turned and it looked like someone I know but I couldn't believe it was her.

'Yu...Yuju?' I muttered, totally sure it was her.

'Bestfriend!!!' she screamed and hugged me so tight. She hasn't even changed a bit. 'I was right; it's really you, Heejin.'

We hugged so tight that all thought of Jimin for the moment flew off my head. She was my bestfriend, along with Mino. We grew up and did almost everything together. It was so nice to see her after 5 years. Last I saw her, was the day she travelled to the United States for college and we lost contact afterwards.

'How did you find me?'

'What do you mean, how? We used to play here all the time when we were younger. You really think I'd forget this place?', she asked pouting.

'When did you come back?' I asked as we both sat on the bench I was sitting on earlier.

'Two weeks ago. I've been searching for you. You don't know how bad I felt when we lost contact. Why did you have to do that to me?', she asked hugging me once more.

'How's that my fault? I kept sending you letters even after we lost contact but you never replied.'

'Sorry, I moved to Texas.'

'See?'

'I admit it's my fault then. I'm sorry. I missed you too much, that's why. By the way, why are you here? Last I remembered, you don't come here unless you wanna clear your mind.'

'Urgh, it's nothing.' I said, smiling but I totally forgot I didn't wipe my tears from earlier.

'Liar!' 'Why then, are there dry tears on your face?'

'It's because I am so happy to see you.They're happy tears.'

'You don't fool me for a minute, Heejin. Have you forgotten, I know you better than anyone else?' She said looking deep into my eyes. This was her tactic when she wanted to get me to say something. And she won, I couldn't resist it, she was my best-friend so why not?

'Spill it.'

JUNGKOOK'S POV

'So, you mean she really left you?' Jin hyung asked Jimin, who looked like he was gonna break into pieces at any minute.

I was burning red at what he said. I knew Heejin all too well; she wouldn't do that unless she was already pushed over the edge. It must be because of the woman Jimin kept seeing. Why didn't I try to find out how she was even when Jimin didn't? I'm feeling like a real useless brother now.

'Have you tried calling her?' Namjoon hyung asked him but the answer was so obvious. He was too lifeless to answer any of them. I was so angry at him but I still hated when he is like this. I couldn't even get angry at him. I was worried for two people now, my sister and my best friend.

'Heejin is an adult. She'll come back Jimin. I think she just needs time.' Hoseok hyung said patting Jimin's back.

'Jimin.' Suga hyung added. He didn't normally join our conversation, he just didn't care. So it was weird when he called Jimin's name. All of us looked at him in expectation,

'We need to talk.'

MINO'S POV

I needed to find an answer to what was puzzling me. So, I dressed simply and made my way to Eunjung's house. Luckily, I found her home. She hugged me immediately she saw me. I faked a smile but she didn't even realise how fake it was. She just played the kind of person she was.

'Oppa, I missed you. You were not picking my calls. Did you know how much I worry about you?' But I waved all her questions off.

'Do you even love me, Eunjung?'

'What do you mean, Oppa? What kind of question is that?'

'You know, I was beginning to think otherwise.' I said sitting a stool facing her directly.

'Oppa!!'

'You went wild when you found out I loved someone else and I know, I was stupid for holding on to her but I have this feeling you're not too far off either.' I said, my eyes' moving away from hers' towards her stomach. The words I wanted to say were too heavy it broke my heart. I know I heard it all but I still wanted to believe that child was mine.

She shifted in discomfort as she saw me glaring at her stomach.

'Oppa, why are you like this?'

'I don't know. I'm just feeling a little insecure.' I couldn't stay anymore. I turned and left. If I dropped the bomb, she'd probably leave me, right? I don't want to lose another woman I'm falling in love with. That'll never happen.
