A few months passed by and I admit that I am completely falling for Jimin all over again. After that day... That day... I can still remember that day as if it was yesterday. That day, Taehyung –the man who picked my shattered pieces and built me back, the man I never knew I'd fall for, the killer– died from the hands of my best friend. The best friend I never truly knew. I never knew about her crimes nor the reason why she was wanted all this time. 

*Cough*Cough* I broke out of my trance to look at my driver to realize we have arrived at my company. 

"Good luck, I'll miss you..." Jimin who was beside me said making me blush a little. I'd admit, I still don't fully show my love to him but I truly am in love with him. To be honest, I've been forgetting about Taehyung's death. 

I get out of the car after nodding my head to him. "Don't forget," I look back at him with a confused face, did I forget something? "I love you..." His eyes were sparkling and I saw the love in him. 

I nod my head "Same." I said with a smile. I closed the door and walked to the entrance of my company. In the company, everything is still the same. I'd act feisty and cruel once I enter the building but I do have some fun messing with the scared employees.

I went into the elevator and once I arrived at the floor of my office I saw Alex still in that grim and depressed state. Her head down staring into nothingness. Back then, once I arrive on the floor the annoying Alex makes my day. These months after gaining no sign of Erica made her life turn upside down. At first, I thought it would go away and she'd go back to normal but no... I even told myself that it was finally my turn to make her smile but it never worked. I could never make her smile like how Erica makes her smile. "Alex..." I whisper so that she won't be shocked as always but she still was shocked.

*Gasp!* "Oh you're here... How long have you been there?" 

"I just came. Don't worry." I walk inside my office and I remember Erica. How she used to sit on that pink chair. Her classy but scary vibe. I miss her... Our silence was broken by my stomach grumbling making Alex smile a bit.

"Hungry?" She chuckled and I nod. "Let's eat then." She said walking out of my office. I followed her as we made our way to her car. Once we entered her car she said something that blew my head off. 

"I am closer to Erica, we've become closer while you are always gone. Out for revenge." I stare at her wondering, Why is she saying this? What for? I don't understand..."Always stood beside her and been there for her. She took me places I never knew that you do. She told me a lot of things about you, including your past..." She started the car and drove off while I started to build out questions. 

What is she saying? What places? What about my past?

"Yes, I know." She looked at me for a second with shock "I told her everything about my past back then."

"No! Not that past! The past before she gave you to the orphanage." She said in fast speed as if she was murmuring so I did not understand it. 

"What?"

"No! NO!" She screamed at me and drove quickly and I was sure it wasn't normal. "She always told me your troubles, your similarities with her and why she helped you even if she was wanted." I look at her, I don't know what to say or conclude... I don't understand a thing she is saying and it is making me very confused. "She knows you more than you know yourself. She is apart of your past. She was the reason for your family's death." She said trying to make me understand but I still don't. She pulled the brakes to a stop and as I look in front... 

"I know this place..." I mumbled seeing the old restaurant I used to love... 

The restaurant where I used to go on dates with Jimin...

The restaurant where I met Taehyung...

The restaurant where I caught Jimin cheating on me...

The restaurant where Taehyung made me happy again...

"She bought this place," I look at her. I was so confused and shocked that I could not speak but she knew what I was gonna ask, when? "This was gonna be demolished due to the shortage of money. She thought that this is a big part of your life and seeing it fall apart will break your heart so she bought it with all the money she had. Don't forget the persuading she did so that the owner would sell it to her."

"Why would she?" I asked with a tear sliding down my cheeks. I miss her more now. I want to hug her, thank her and tell her that she is very important to me... But how did Alex know this and not me?

"Because..." She bit her lip 

"Tell me. I don't understand... What have you been keeping from me?" She started crying while muttering out words.

"I promised to keep it. I promised! and she also promised... she promised me that she'll be fine and that it would be better if you didn't know" She was looking down while shaking.

"Know what!?!" I had no more patience.

"She... Killed your family..." As those words left her lips, I fell on the floor, on my knees. She quickly followed after me holding my arm and my shoulder.

"How?" I asked without looking at her.

"She was a teen out for revenge but..." She didn't want to continue but she also knew that I must know the truth. "They were chasing her. She was at a great speed not realizing her car went too fast to the point she couldn't stop. Your family's car hit hers. Your car was on the edge of the bridge almost falling off. Once she gained contentiousness she looked in your car to see that only you were breathing and uninjured. She took you and tried to live with you but she was too young to know what to do so she gave you to the orphanage. Even if she treated you like her own." She leans down and touches my ginger hair. "She also said that your ginger hair came from your mom." 

I continued crying while hugging her. 

After a few minutes, she invited me to go inside the restaurant.

It looks like it stayed the same but a bit more dirty and is covered by the darkness. "I forgot to tell you that she also asked to place everything back, including the tables, chairs and more." She said making me have an idea.

"AHA!" I scream and she screams right after me in surprise not expecting I'd scream. 

"What?!?" She said in annoyance after making her scream.

"We will build it back! You used to work at a cafe as a manager, right?" She nods her head 

"Yeah, you too." She said making the both of us smile gaining an idea. "What about the company?" She asked. 

"Well we will have to work in the company and with this all at the same time. ready for the challenge Alex?"

"I am, and what about you Min Y/N or should I say Park Y/N." She said with a giggle at the end making me smile.

"Mrs. Park is ready for a little challenge!"
