I stared at all the chocolate, it reminding me of Jungkook's eyes. Today Mr. Khang didn't show up, I guess he was busy.

Barely anybody came by. It wasn't that far along until closing time. I took one sample and ate it. I stared down at the marble counter, drawing out the random shapes with the tip of my fingernail.

Time passed, it being 2am now. I closed up the shop and drove home, it wasn't much of a distraction at all.

Once I arrived, everyone was gathered up watching a movie. I feel like talking to anybody frankly.

The first person I saw was Jungkook. I felt an uneasy feeling in my stomach as he was staring blankly into the screen.

"Oh? Eunji?" Jiyeon turned her head towards me.

I just made my way up the stairs, not speaking a word. Once I arrived, I changed into comfy clothes. Before I could crawl into bed a knock lightly echoed my room.

I saw Namjoon with a worried expression. "You alright?" I choked up on my own breath, my teary eyes glistened by the dimly lit room. "Oh Nini, what's the matter?" He rushed to me while my face landed into the palms of my hands.

"I don't want to talk about it." I mumbled, "I need to get some sleep." I gulped.

He rubbed my back. "You want to be alone?"

I nodded in response, he gave me a hug before leaving me. I crawled into my bed, not even tucking myself into my sheets. I just stared at the window by my bed.

"Sungmin, I want to move on so badly." Tears began to strike my eyes. "I don't want to hurt anymore." I began to hiccup through my cries. "I want to love somebody again, the way I l-loved you."

"I want to be able to cuddle next to somebody and feel protected in his arms." I cried into my hands. "It's been 4 years, it's ridiculous for me to stay this miserable." The tears couldn't stop. I could barely control my sobs.

"But maybe it's best.. so I don't have a chance of suffering the way I did for you all over again." My heart physically ached. I stared at the ceiling, "I beg so much to get nothing."

My eyes began to droop shut, bringing me to a moment of peace.

"Eunji, you know I love you." Sungmin's voice echoed in my ear. I quickly stood to see him dressed in white, a small smile tainted on his pink lips.

"Sungmin." Tears rushed out my eyes while running into his arms. I felt 17 again.

"Even if I love you. You can't keep holding on to me. I've passed away, but just know that if you love somebody just as much as you love me, or even more.. more importantly if they love you in the same way they would never intend to hurt you." He rubbed my back. "You're the most beautiful girl I've laid my eyes on, somebody else has already realized that. Things take time, Nini. You know that."

"You will love somebody more then you ever love me. I promise you on that." His tone was soft, I wanted to stay like this forever. "They'll notice all the things that make you the person they fell for. I love you."

I stared up to his face, it began to slowly disintegrate. My heart beat raced while he was leaving my hands like grains of sand. It all happened so quickly, before another moment passed

I had already awoken. A light layer of sweat was forming on my forehead, I could never forget the moment I had with him.

"I love you too." I spoke lowly.

Days passed, I couldn't dare to even look at Jungkook. By this time he was fully good to go back to work. He was already moved back to his house.

I missed him deeply, I felt a sense of emptiness just by neglecting him like this. Everybody was gathered by the living room playing card games but I stayed in my bedroom.

I went downstairs, just for the doorbell to ring in time. I opened it to see Jungkook's girlfriend.

"You're just the right person I wanted to see." She let herself in quickly. I was filled with confusion. "Are you the chick that hypnotized my boyfriend to break up with me? Are you the reason HE LOST FEELINGS FOR ME?"

"I-I don't know what you're talking about." Was all that could leave my mouth.

"You know perfectly what I'm talking about. Since I insulted you, you were butthurt and hypnotized him to break up with me." She crossed her arms, her face as as red as a tomato.

"Listen, I really don't-" She cut me off.

"You know what? Whatever. I can't believe you could do such a thing like this." She stomped out the door and slammed the door behind her.

My eyebrows knit together. I went to my bedroom hearing a pair of footsteps follow me. I figured it was Namjoon.

A figure made their way into my bedroom before I could close the door. My eyes widened seeing it was Jungkook.
