JIMIN'S POV

Dahyun smiled at me as soon as she walked in. "Hi," I greeted and made her sit beside me. Just like what she told me on the phone yesterday, we met at the gate of Mnet University. This is where we used to part a few days ago. I used to bring her to school, so I can see everyone who bullies her for being in a relationship with her. Oh god, I can stilk remember the annoying faces that she has to deal with once I step out. I pity her for that and yes, it hurted me in a way because I love her and to see someone I love getting hurt by other people pains me, too.

She just nodded and went silent. I don't know what to say actually. Mina said that I have to settle my feelings for Dahyun first before marrying her. I guess she's right, too, but I feel like she doesn't trust me 100% yet. "How have you been?" I asked her.

"I'm okay," she said in a low tone and her head somehow downcast. "How about you? How's Mina?" I sometimes think that I actually don't deserve someone like Dahyun. Our first meeting may not be perfect, but when we get to know each other in the past, it made me realize that she's too good to be true. She's a pure angel and she does not need a devil like me.

Even though she's hurt because of everything I've done to her, she still managed to make a smile and ask about me and Mina. "I'm doing okay." I cracked a smile. "Mina is okay, too."

"Why do you want us to meet, by the way?" She asked and looked away. She keeps on looking at her watch to see what time it is and it is making me feel guilty for taking her time. She's on her junior year as a college student and she must be busy because of finishing her reports and all, but I still took her time. She's supposed to be studying at the moment.

"Well," I glanced at her. "Mina wanted us to meet." She then tilted her face to me with a startled expression.

"Mina? Why?" She seemed curious just by hearing her tone.

"She wants me to settle our relationship first." She did not answer me and she looked like she wanted more answers, too. "Look, Dahyun," I sighed. "I'm so sorry." I can see tears forming in her eyes and my heary ripped for an unknown reason. I really did love her, didn't I? Sigh. "I'm sorry for lying. I'm sorry for letting you go so easily. I did not even think that you will get hurt for lying and letting you break up with me." Finally, her tears escaped from her eyes in which she wiped away fastly. She held her head low, so I cupped her cheeks and made her look at me. "I loved you and that love was real, okay? I did not lie about my feelings. All of my promises were sincere."

"But you did not fulfill them..." she whispered with a cracked tone. Damn, Jimin. You hurted her so bad.

"I'm sorry." I took my handkerchief and wiped her tears. She kept on sobbing and I kept on comforting her with my words. "And, thank you, too, for being there for me. You never shut me out unlike other people. Thank you for accepting me." I then hugged her tightly before letting her go. "Let's be friends, okay? Atleast, I'm sure that we'll not grow apart as friends. Let's keep in touch."

"Okay."

I knew Sana knows that I'm back from the States, so she made a call. "Hey, Sana." I greeted once I answered.

"Jimin! I heard you're back? For good?" She asked, so I chuckled.

"Nope. I just went back here because Mina told me to."

"Mina? What for?"

"She wants me reflect on myself before we get married."

"That sounds terrific." She giggled. "Hey, want to meet up?"

"Why?"

"Let's eat before you go. I miss you."

"Yeah, right."

"Okay! Let's eat at the chicken restaurant near the bar I used to work at."

"Okay, sounds good." She then hung up.

I consider Sana as one of my good friends. I mean, yes, we did fall in love with one another and broke up eventually, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends anymore. She's one of the people who helped me from being broken and I thank her for that.

I called for a cab and waited for us to arrive at my destination. Since it's rush hour, a lot of people are walking on the sidewalks and the traffic is a little heavy. All I can see on the road is the red lights of the cars.

I looked outside and watched the people with their own businesses. There are vendors barking, kids running and people rushing. I kind of feel sad for the people who are always busy. It feels like they don't have any social life because of working too much. I don't want to be like them, though. I mean, I want a job, but I should not obssess over it.

And so, we arrived at the chicken diner. I paid the driver and saw Sana waiting outside. "Jimin!" She yelled, so I ran towards her to give her a big hug. "I missed you!" She jumped, so I had to control her beagle-ness. She's so loud when she's excited.

"Me too!" I laughed and so did she. She cupped my face and stole a peck on my lips which made my mood change in an instant. "Why did you do that?" I asked in a serious manner, but she did not answer me and just dragged me towards the inside of the restaurant.

"Jimin is back!" She said and started to introduce me to her long-time friends. There's Hwasa with Loco hyung, Moonbyul noona and Solar noona, Bora noona and Hani noona. I was about to ask where Wheein is, but I realized that she might be hooking up with Taehyung.

I faked a smile and sat with them. They started dropping questions and so I was in the hot seat.

MINA'S POV

Korea is 13 hours ahead, so it's already 8 PM there.

I woke up at 6 AM, so I can start with the work I haven't finished yesterday night. Jimin is staying in Seoul for two days now and he's going back on the fourth day since I told him to take a rest before going back.

Once I opened up my account, Minhyun bombarded me with emails. I had him follow Jimin because I want to make sure that he really did talk to Dahyun. And besides, I don't trust him that much yet. He fooled me once and I won't let him fool me twice.

I was about to open one of the emails that Minhyun sent to me when I received a call from him. I answered it, "Hello--"

"Mina! Did you fucking open the electronic mail already?!"

"Fuck you. It's too early to cuss."

"Open the email!"

"Okay, okay! Shut up!" I groaned and did what he told me. There's a photo attached to the mail, so I opened it. It's a photo of Dahyun and Jimin and I guess he really did talk to her. "You did okay."

"Did you see it already?!" He really sounded demanding and it irritated me because it's too early in the morning to be like that.

"Yes, I did! I said you did okay!"

"Which did you open?"

"Jimin and Dahyun's picture!"

"Not that, stupid. The most recent one!"

"Why the fuck are you so demanding, Hwang Minhyun? You irritate me so fucking much!"

"Just open it!" I went back to the main page and opened the recent mail that he sent me. I opened the picture and saw Jimin and Sana kissing.

"Minhyun, please get Jimin back here. Right now."
