Park Jimin.

My ex.

And he will be working as my personal bodyguard. He'll follow me, check on me, protecting me, driving me... insane!

I was speechless. I couldn't take off my eyes of him. He looked alot better, or may I say...becoming more handsome and physically matured.


He was still looking at me. Our eyes connected.


But I was the first to break the eye contact, and trying to focus on what Namjoon is saying. But I can feel he is still watching me.

"Miss Choi, please let me introduce your personal bodyguard. Park Jimin." Namjoon started saying.

"Park Jimin will be in charge of protecting and taking care of you 24/7, you can say whatever you need and....."

As Namjoon continued, I gazed up once more to Jimin. He's dressed up in black suit, black pants, black shoes, white shirt, and black tie, clearly showing up that he came here for this job.

Namjoon's clears his throat once more causing me to hear what Namjoon was saying.

"Miss Choi. So if you'll excuse us, I will get Jimin ready for his stuff. And then he will come back for you."

Both of them bowed, and leaving to their workplace.

Just yesterday I was about to move on from you Jimin.

And now you're back.

After lunch, I've decided to go shopping for the event ball that will be held in a couple weeks.

The 'Ball' is the event that dad always held every year. All of his friends are invited, our families would come, and other VIPs that have worked with my dad.

Usually, my dad wouldn't allow me to go alone instead the securities will be coming with me. It feels suffocating sometimes.

I told Nanaa and tell her to inform Namjoon that I wanted to go shopping for today. But I knew deep inside that it will be him not Namjoon.

Collecting my bag, I shrug on my coat and head for the door. Outside in the early afternoon, the sky looks a bit cloudy but I still can see the sun. It might rain today.

Just infront of me, I see the car, with one of the security and Jimin waiting for me. I knew it will be Jimin. Trying to leave behind this tangled feeling, I make it toward the car.

Jimin looked at me and I felt awkward when he bowed before me. Even if its been 2 years of him becoming my ex, still this is unusual. I can't imagine the worst of him being my personal bodyguard.

I hurried myself inside the back passenger seat while Jimin seated in the front accompanied with the other driver.

There are so many questions running inside my head and wanting to throw it them to Jimin since he left me unseasonably 3 years ago. But I couldn't, because I don't want my driver encountering our conversation. So I just leave it.

We arrived at Lour'ys Boutique, its one of my favorite place to shop for elegant dresses. The fashion statue that is place behind the glasses, wearing one of their dresses of the lady's dreams. Floors covered with expensive-looking white tile, three glimmering lamps hanging straight ways, and a really nice marble counter which is placed just at the left side near the entrance.

We got drop off the car, since the driver is having difficulties to find a parking lot. And now there is just both of us.

I haven't talk to Jimin - which is really bothering me alot. We have to talk sooner or never. I looked at him and half smiled. He then nod a little without any expression on his face. I think it's still awkward to talk about it.

Next thing, Jimin followed me inside the boutique. There were a couple of rich-ass ladies shopping inside. As soon as I opened the front door, the bells are tingling telling there a new costumer which was really unnecessary. The ladies looked at us, especially towards Jimin.

I then started looking for dresses that would be matching with the event. I saw Jimin stayed near the glass doors, looking around his surroundings. I was really nervous before, because I thought he would keep himself near me everytime.

Few minutes has passed and I still have to find a matching footwear along with the dress I've chosen before. Walking towards the footwear section, a lady bump into me causing me to almost drop my handbag. She immediately apologized. Then I realized that some ladies, or can I say almost all the other ladies in the room are stealing glances at Jimin.

I looked at Jimin, he seemed unbothered. He then looked up at me, rising his eyebrows like is-there-something-wrong expression look. I shook my head telling him -no.

I saw the ladies start to gossip and fangirl over Jimin. I don't know why but I feel a bit annoyed somehow. Jimin isn't mine anymore, but I doubt I might still keep my feels for him.

I try to not care. But as when one of the ladies approach Jimin, I couldn't help it anymore. Even I haven't found the perfect footwear for me, I quickly head for the counter and paid the dress and to be sent to the mansion later.

When I'm done with the payment, I little rushed myself out of the shop knowing Jimin would follow me too.

I sighed when we're already outside. I shouldn't have shopped here.

"Are you already done with shopping Yer- uh I mean Ms. Choi?" Jimin suddenly asked.

Did he just call me Ms. Choi? Like MISS CHOI??

"I uhh- yes but.. I still- I mean I still need to buy some... some other stuffs."

Why the hell am I stuttering?

"Oh, okay. I'll let the driver pick us up from here. It's not far, anyways. We can wait a couple minutes to have it come arrive here." Jimin said to me.

I can't hold it anymore, I have to talk to him. Because I can't face him without having a conversation around the house. Maybe if we could just talk- and have some coffee.

Oh yes, there's a small café I know just two blocks from this shop. We can go there by walking.

Just as Jimin was about to call the driver, I stopped him.

"Jimin...uh, wait." I murmur.

"Yes?" Using that expression again he did not long ago inside the shop.

"My driver can wait. I uh, I need to talk with you. We can talk and have some coffee, I know a place where we could."

He looked confused and its enough for me wanting to cup his face again whenever he does that.

Old memories.
