"I...am letting you go. Loving you was a mistake. Holding onto you was a mistake. Falling for you was my biggest mistake. I will mend my broken heart but..i will never forget what you did to us. You always put the blame on me. Now, I know who to blame" Namjoon murmured, raising his head slowly. He's ready to face the truth now.

Bang PD was right, there's no point on holding onto something that's not his.

If she really loved him, she would wait for him.

"Fate is to be blame. The time that we spent was beautiful, so did the things that pain us" she heard him continue with so much regret and anger. His harsh breath gave her a goose bump. She needed a moment to decipher everything that she heard, why was it so complicated? It burdened her to witness something that she's not supposed to.

'Seul you are in a deep shit' she mentally cursed hoping that Namjoon would allow her to say something and free her from this.

"Namjoon-ah....what are you do-ing?" there was another voice behind them, a familiar one to Namjoon. It came to his realization that the woman in front of her was not the same person that he expected it to be. Reality hit him so hard making him to spin clueless Seul facing him "W..hat" his face was losing colour when her face came into the picture, it was, Seul, their caretaker.

"What are you doing here....." he breathed.

The woman made way inside with discomfort look evident across her face "We need to talk Namjoon-ah..." she eyed Seul from head to toe with a hint of jealousy. Namjoon still could not believe he just said something foolish in front of Seul and as a result showing the weak side of him. No one knew about his relationship except for his members. For some reason, Bang PD discovered it a day ago that rendered him speechless.

Out of nowhere, their caretaker was there and witnessed something that she's not supposed to, how screwed up this could be. There was a long silence between the three, and Seul was still a little tipsy over Namjoon's unintended confession awhile ago causing her mind went numb.

A pair of warm and small hand wrapped around her wrist startling her, bringing her soul back to her body. Seul's dark brown orbs melted into Jimin's soft one as their eyes met "Let's go, you are at the wrong place" he murmured under his breath. Giving a quick glance at Namjoon, the older guy averted his gaze from meeting him. He was too embarrass to face Jimin as if he could read Jimin's mind demanding an explanation and to fix the mess that he created.

Namjoon watched Jimin and Seul figure disappeared from his vicinity leaving him and his lover in the empty room.

"Let's talk then"

He would find his ending soon.

------------

The two of them were standing side by side at the rooftop, staring blankly into the darkness. Seul knew the scene awhile ago was not intended for her to see, yet she couldn't stop replaying it inside her mind. Namjoon's sadness lingered and scarred her. Just how much it pains him, she wondered.

"Are you alright?" Jimin inquired could not comprehend the silence anymore. He gazed at Seul with concern hoping the girl was not too affected by it. Jimin ended up following Namjoon a while ago since he wanted to notify him about the filming only to see the guy dashed in panic passed him. Hence, to his surprise, Jimin saw Namjoon was holding onto a girl inside the room and he heard everything. Seul's presence inside the room surprised him even more then he realized Namjoon messed it up.

He did not want to pressure the older guy anymore, therefore he came into decision to bring Seul out of the mess and let Namjoon settled his issues first. Sooner or later, Namjoon would open up to them about his problem. Jimin's main concern was Seul seeing how pale she appeared, he knew it was not a good idea to stall.

It took her a moment to regain herself back before responded to Jimin accompanied with a heavy sigh "Yeah.. I did not expect to witness that. I feel guilty for...you know.. invading his privacy. It is his secret" Seul looked down on her feet with deep guilt.

"Don't be.. Things happen for a reason. Namjoon hyung was not in a right mind either to differentiate you with her" Jimin smiled sadly.

"I am sorry for being a nuisance. I am complicating things for him. I really hope she doesn't misunderstand. That will be bad"

"She deserved that. She hurt hyung. She deserved to be hurt" She decided to seal her mouth and not to ask further questions. Seul looked up, scrutinizing Jimin's sharp feature. His eyes fluttered close, as soft sigh escaped from his pink plump lips making him even more dashing under the shining stars. She could not remember when was the last time to see Jimin this up close probably ever since the embarrassing bedroom scene last year.

Until then, Seul had no chance to meet any of them as they were busy preparing for their comeback.

"What are you doing here Seul-ssi?"

"It has been a long time, right? Well, I am here to work. The food truck outside is prepared for the staffs as a gratitude from you guys. Didn't Jin inform all of you at all about that?"

"Ah..yes Jin hyung did mention about the food support thing. Didn't know you're working for the company?" his cheeks were tugged upwards into a cute smile.

Seul smiled softly "I work for them, so it is a special request made by Jin a week ago. I was about to leave discreetly until something unexpected came up, I guess we are fated to meet after all" she rubbed the back of her neck. Speaking of fate, these days Seul decided to just follow the flow of her life instead of putting too much pressure and plan on it. She grew tired running away from the truth therefore she'll see how things went then came up with counter measure afterwards.

"Cool. You are a caretaker and a tea lady" he retorted with a light chuckle.

She found herself smiling at the image of his pink ears, as it matched his hair due to the coldness. Seul pulled out the heat pack casually from her jacket, since she brought extras with her. "Jimin-ssi, you may need this" she tiptoed a little matching his level and pressed the heat pack on both side of his neck.

"Keep warm, you don't want to get sick" her eyes glimmered brightly melting Jimin's heart. Jimin was lost in her kind gesture, as his hand skidded on top of hers "Thank you" he squished her hands.

Seul turned crimson red at the contact "Hmm..No problem" she pulled her hand quickly which upsets him a little. The feeling was soon washed over by Seul's next move. She took off her warm gloves and took his hand in her sliding the glove over it without trouble. Seul repeated the same step with his other hand without breaking the smile on her face.

"As I expected, it is the same size" she unconsciously caressing Jimin's hand admiring it as if she's the girlfriend. She bit down her tongue and hold back the coldness that started to lick her exposed skin. Releasing Jimin's hand, she answered her phone nodding throughout the process. From the conversation, Jimin knew she's ready to go but was he ready to see her go?

"Jimin-ssi, I have to go to meet your manager. Get inside and keep yourself warm alright? See you around" she never forgets to give a quick bow before leaving dazed Jimin behind. He smirked knowingly as he clasped his hand together loving the warmth from Seul's knitted weave gloves.
