"I would like that, just give me 1 to 2 days atleast." I kept a blank face, I didn't want to rush into things like this.

I excused myself and went back to the hotel. I lay down on my bed, trying to convince myself that it's a bad idea.

Would this make my career better?

As an adult I should know what to do. I know where to go to think things through.

Here I was at Busan café, 4 days before the grand opening of my own café. Out of all the places I could go I went here. To think of it after 4 years my feet never seemed to forget the way here.

I face the window where he used to stand and smile brightly at me. Sometimes I wonder where he could be. Other times I was afraid that he's still very ill.

"Kim Ji su." I hear someone mention my name.

I look around the café ",She's really pretty." A group of friends at the other table were chatting.

"I think they make a great couple." The girl simply added before taking a sip of her tea.

"I think so too." The black haired boy said as he nods.

"I read in an article she's a foreigner."

"Really?" His eyes widened.

I swipe through my contacts and call Square Entertainment. My finger hovering over the button. With

Another meeting was held a few hours later. I needed more reasons why I should do this.

"There are a lot of benefits really." Jungkook's manager, Joon Hyunjo says.

"Your café would probably have high ratings. More modeling opportunities for you. Investors would probably be more intrested."

"How would investors be more intrested in me?" I ask, I wasn't convinced with his reasoning.

"If you're business has high ratings and you are having more branches open, international investors would also want to be involved. Plus if you're more famous being partners with you will also get them more invetors too."

"And how would this benefit Jungkook?" Jungkook listen more attentively.

"Being a couple can give him more exposure to variety shows. Jungkook is getting more popular nowadays. It will catch everybody's attetion. More people will hear this, he might even get a bigger fan base."

Everyone was facing me waiting for my response.

"I'll do it." A big smile grew on their faces.

"To not ruin your grand opening the confirmation will be 1 week after. Since you might get backlash no one would come."

"If you want to stop this you have to tell us before you say anything."

"Alright. I'll be back from Netherlands by the time of the confirmation."

"We'll make a plan on how to build up to the confirmation, we don't want the public to be sudden by this."

I was going back to Amsterdam to pack up a few things and start living in Korea. My parents were sad about this but they understood that I have to.

Being back at Amsterdam makes me less tense somehow. Maybe it's the people or the gloomy scenery.

"I'm going out."

"You've been there too many times, aren't you tired?" My mom asks.

"Not one bit." I shake my head, my mom sighs.

"There's nothing I can really do. Just be home by 10, I don't want you to be out late." I kiss my mom's cheek and headed out.

I rode my bike to the stationary store near the park. People loved the items here. The quality can never dissapoint you.

The store allowed people to make paintings, pottery, and others. People often come here to relieve stress.

I hear someone playing the piano, the store had a grand piano at the middle that was free to use.

I walk towards the sound, people were turning heads to the person at the piano.

I watches him from behind, it was like he was doing this all his life. The song soon comes to an end.

The piano player turns around. This must be a dream, here he was standing right in front of me.

He comes forward and hugs me,"Ji su." He squeezes me tighter.
