Jimin's POV

"Jimin...I-I think the whole thing with Taehyung was just a dream."

My eyes widen in disbelief. Saying that I am shocked in this moment would be an understatement. I'm beyond confused. How does something like this happen? Is she saying that Taehyung has been a dream this whole time... Were all the crazy things Jungkook said really true?

Honestly, I don't know what to feel in this moment, if I should feel worried...or if I should feel ecstatic at the fact that she isn't actually with anyone.

But I'm confused to see that she doesn't seem very concerned after concluding that Taehyung was just a dream. In fact, she begins to laugh.

"It's nothing crazy. I was thinking about how I used to dream that my parents were still with me. How real that felt. That's probably what happened earlier. I haven't lucid dreamed in a long time...but I guess it's possible that I dreamed I was here on my anniversary with Taehyung."

I feel my heart fall after hearing this. Jungkook has seriously gotten into my head. I genuinely thought for a moment that Taehyung isn't real. Yet, the more I think about it, the more Jungkook's theory really does make sense to me.

I've still never seen Haeun with Taehyung. I've never seen him before in my life, though he apparently goes to our college. It seems that every time she's meant to meet with him, our paths would cross. That other day in the dance studio...today for their anniversary...

But on the other hand, I guess I might just be trying to convince myself that he's fake. So that I could relieve the pain I feel in my heart...

But either way, I feel annoyed with this Taehyung, whether or not he really is real. How can he just leave her hanging all the time? He was supposed to meet her here today? How can he not show up? She deserves someone so much better than him.

Someone like me...

"Wait...so let me get this straight...Today is your anniversary with Taehyung, and he didn't show up? And you dreamed it happened instead?" She doesn't respond right away, so I look towards her direction. Even though it's getting dark, I can see her face clearly, deep in thought.

"You deserve someone better..." I say this softly, under my breath. She doesn't seem fazed by my words so I assume she didn't hear me.

"I mean...today might not be our anniversary...maybe it's tomorrow? Oh gosh...why am I blanking on the date..." I watch as she nervously begins to count on her fingers and look up into the sky.

"No, actually I'm sure it's tomorrow. I must have been so excited I came here a day early. I must have been thinking about it while I was here so I dreamt of it." She laughs nervously.

"Ohh..." It grows silent between us. I don't know what to think at this point...

"You must think I'm crazy..." We look at each other, and it seems she tries to force a smile on her face.

"Yeah...just a tiny bit," I try joking around with her, trying to lighten up the mood. My heart skips a beat seeing her laugh ever so slightly. "...no but...you must really love him..."

"Yeah...I really do..." I see her smile to herself, looking down at her lap. My heart aches at this. Seriously, what have I gotten myself into?

I realize it now. How deeply I've fallen for this girl. I realize now how painful it truly is to be in a one-side love.

Maybe, if back then I would've known how much pain she would bring me, maybe I wouldn't have let myself fall for the girl I laid eyes on the first day in math class.

Maybe I wouldn't have stolen glances every chance I got at her beautiful face.

Maybe I wouldn't have spent time longing for a girl I didn't even know.

But then again, if I chose not to fall for her, then I wouldn't be sat here right now, seeing her skin glistening under the moonlight, her hair silkier than I've ever seen it under the light of the stars. Her lips curled up into the most beautiful smile I've ever came across.

...But I'm not the reason she's smiling...

And so I go back into the darkest parts of my mind, my breathing beginning to turn rough and irregular. I close my eyes as I feel the ache in my chest engulf my entire being.

No matter how much it hurts, I still love her...

"Jimin, are you okay?" I open my eyes at the melodic sound of her voice and turn around, seeing the concern in her eyes.

"Y-yeah. I'm fine." I lie straight through my teeth.

"I think I should get going...It's getting late." I see her get up from the spot beside me.

"W-wait...let me drive you home. It's dark out and it's dangerous for you to walk home alone."

She seems reluctant at first.

"Please...Haeun...I wouldn't forgive myself if something bad happened to you- I, I mean we are friends after all." I try to catch myself after hearing what I said. I see her smile at the mention of the word friend before agreeing to my offer.

The drive is silent, only with her giving me directions to her apartment. Occasionally I would take my eyes off the road to glance over to her. I see that she is staring out of the side window.

Time seems to go by so fast as I steal glances at her every once in a while. Soon, we are parked outside of your apartment.

"Thank you for the ride Jimin." She begins to undo her seatbelt

"No problem...Hey I was thinking maybe for the next time I tutor you we can just do it at your apartment? It'll be more comfortable than the library...O-only if you want to of course." She smiles while getting out of the car.

"Of course, I'll see you then. Good night Jimin."

"Good night..." I watch as she walks up to the building of her apartment. I don't bother driving away just yet, waiting to make sure she makes it into the building okay. Before entering she turns around to see that my car is still here.

For a second I panic, but then I see her kindly wave at me from the entrance, and I simply wave back before driving away.

The moment she's out of sight, the smile on my face falls, my mind instantly getting lost in thought.

There's so much about her I just don't know... Who is Taehyung really? And now that I think about it...what about that thing with Namjoon? I feel myself growing more and more curious by the second.

Well that night, as Jimin lied wide awake in bed, Haeun drifted off to sleep, reliving her third anniversary with Taehyung once again. Only this time, she didn't have Jimin there to give her a reality check...

(a/n) Whoops looks like she still hasn't figured it out just yet...but Jimin's starting to grow curious...
