Jaemin PoV

The next week arrived and finally another week of school. Over the weekend, I had hoped that Mina would come to the camping trip, but what was I hoping for? She was probably hurting while I was out doing my own thing.

And I hated it.

I hated the things that I said to Mina. About leaving her and all this other shit. Dumb shit.

I walked into the school and I heard someone calling my name. I turned around, hoping that it was from Mina. But it was from Yerim. My smile dropped a little.

She grabbed onto my arm and clinged to me like a monkey.

"Hey!" She said happily.

I gently pushed her off my arm. "Hey."

"So...did you like the camping trip?" She asked.

I smiled weakly. "It was okay."

"Aww...why only okay?" She pouted. She tried doing aegyo but she looked so awkward doing it.

I thought about those adorable moments I had with Mina. I smiled to myself.

"Jaemin?" Yerim waved a hand in front of me.

"Y-yeah?" I said, jumping out of my thoughts.

I smelled a familiar scent brush by and I searched the crowd. I knew it was from Mina. I searched for her face in the crowd of passing students.

"Jaemin!" Yerim shouted.

"What?" I asked her, annoyed.

"You weren't listening to me!" She stomped.

I don't care, I wanted to say. "Sorry, what did you say?"

"I asked you about what you were thinking about?"

"Ah. Just....someone. Someone I love. Loved." I clarified.

"Aww...well I guess the one you love now is me right?" Yerim smiled hopefully.

I returned her smile. "No."

Her smile dropped to a frown. I walked ahead and into the classroom. My eyes immediately went to Mina, sitting alone by the window with her earbuds. I looked over to Jeno and Yeseul. They both shook their heads solemnly. I could see the dry tears on Mina's cheeks. I'm sorry Mina. I'm sorry I hurt you. I promised to protect, but in the end, I ended up hurting you. I wish I could be with you. I wish I could hold you, but everything is for the better.

Everything was really over.

She was gone.

She fell from my grasp.

I thought I knew her. But now staring at her, I realized that she was still an unknown specimen that I hadn't studied carefully enough.

She was unknown and she disappeared from me just like that.
