CHAPTER 21

MAE's P.O.V.

As soon as the elevator door closed, I cried. It is sad to love someone who can never be yours in the first place but at least I was able to say what is on my heart and mind. I took a deep sigh as I try to control my tears. I don't to be seen crying in public. When the elevator door opened and a couple came in, I bowed my head and subtly dry my tears. I should not be crying. I should be happy because I was able to spend my last night here in Seoul with Jungkook. I should treat this as a happy memory. I looked at my reflection on the elevator door and realized how ugly I look. My hair is a mess and my face looks so oily. Ugh! I wish Jungkook could forget this memory. I shook my head and smiled to myself. How silly of me to think that he would even remember someone like me. 

I got on the bus and and went home, but on my way back I can't stop thinking about Jungkook and then I remembered that he was the one who invited me to Namsan Tower because he was going to tell me something. What was that he was going to say? Gosh! I got overwhelmed with my emotions that I forgot all about his. I wonder what was he going to say? Well, maybe he could tell me next time if ever we see each other again. I hope that he was also able to go home safely without anybody noticing him. I yawned as I look at my reflection in the mirror. Girl, how can you be this ugly? I tried fixing my hair but it was no use. I sighed and gave up. After a few minutes I finally arrived home. I punched in the code to our dorm and removed my shoes. I didn't even bother turning on the lights as i walk to my room. I was about to turn the door know when I heard something feel on the floor. I felt a chill run down my spine as I carefully turned around to look. I can feel my heart starting to beat loudly.

"Where have you been?" I yelled in surprise when Jenni suddenly came out from the darkness. "Jeez! What are you doing in the dark Jenni?!" I asked as I picked up myself from the floor. "Don't change the topic. Where have you been, Mae?" Jenni asked as she switched on the lights and sat on the couch. Looks like she wants to talk. "Where did you go?" She asked again while looking at me with her beautiful almond eyes. I sighed in resignation as I sat next to her. "To Namsan Tower, Jungkook picked me up-" Jenni gasped loudly which cut me off and looked at me with suspicious eyes. "You went to Namsan Tower with Jeon Jungkook after the concert, why?" She asked and that made me pursed my lip before I looked away. "I don't know because I left as soon as I confessed my feelings for him." Jenni made another loud sound. "You did what?!" She asked me disbelievingly. I pouted my lips and nodded. "Girl, why did you do that?" She looked at me with pity in her eyes. "Well because I thought it was our last day and so I thought maybe I could tell him my feeling so that I can go home with no regret." I replied. She shook her head and looked at me in the eyes. "I mean why did you left him after professing your feelings? Didn't you wait for his reply?" She asked with a knotted forehead. I shook my head in answer. "What for? Jenni, look at me. I am not beautiful. I am not Charming. I don't have a flawless skin and beautiful body. I practically have no accomplishment. I have nothing. I am nothing. Do I look like I have a chance with him? Do you think he will like someone like me?" I asked as I pointed at my face. 

Jenni shook her head as she caressed my hair like a child. "Mae, you are beautiful. Maybe not the celebrity way, but you are beautiful! Eveyone is beautiful in their own way. You know, beauty can't only be seen by the naked eye. True beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say. You are beautiful not only because of your physical look but also because you have a very beautiful heart and a very beautiful soul. You are charming in your own way. And how do you know what Jungkook think of you? Are you him?" She asked in a stern voice. I shook my head and pouted which made her sigh.  "Why don't you love yourself more? Have confidence in yourself?" Jenni asked with a soft smile on her lips. I smiled back and nodded my head. "I will try." I replied. Jenni smiled with satisfaction as she stood up from the couch. "Good. Now go back and sleep. We still have work tomorrow." I froze with Jenni's statement. Did she say work?
