It was another one of those cool nights in Seoul, nothing quite extraordinary about it.
The cool night breeze sent her brown hair flying in different directions but she didn't seem to mind at all.
It actually brought a little comfort seeing her original hair colour after 5 years.
The girl was wondering the streets of Seoul with no particular destination in mind.
Her parents were on a business trip and her sister was back in Melbourne.
It wasn't anything new to her. She was alone at home and she was alone at school.
No, she was no longer alone at school. She had made amends with them.
But, she still didn't feel right. She had let out all her emotions and finally realized all what she had missed out on for the past five years due to her selfishness.
Her eyes caught sight of building with bright flashing neon lights which brought back many memories with him.
She smiled to herself as she reminisced those moments. Even at a young age, Jeon Jungkook had a heavenly voice.
She hadn't been there in the last five years but she decided to go to there that night.
It wasn't like she had anywhere else to be. And maybe, just maybe, she could release the emotions that were still troubling her.
The girl entered the karaoke bar, taking note of everything. Nothing had changed. Everything was pretty much the same, as if waiting for her to return.
She smiled at the thought.
As if her feet had a mind of their own, she found herself in front of an all too familiar room.
This was where she and Jungkook used to go to, and sometimes Taehyung as well if he decided to join them which was rarely since he preferred visiting art galleries.
Even at a young age, Kim Taehyung had a broad and open mind.
She heard the instrumentals of the song, 'Rewrite The Stars' and a beautiful voice singing along to it.
She could feel the emotion and pain in the person's voice and she didn't know if that was what drove her to do what she did because before she realized she was holding a mic, singing along with the guy.
If the guy was disturbed with the invasion, he didn't show it.
The instrumentals of the song came to an end and there was a still silence between both people.
She thought it best if she broke the silence seeing as she was the one who invaded his privacy.
"Um, I'm sorry for-"
"It's okay. I guess I could use a little company.", he smiled and she noticed how glassy his eyes looked.
She didn't know what happened but she knew that he was definitely hurting.
"I've heard that sharing your troubles with a stranger can help to ease your mind.", she gave him a small smile.
He stared at her blankly and she began to reconsider her proposition.
"I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said that. Don't mind me, I just-"
"It's okay.", he chuckled as he saw the girl's face turn a light shade of red. He found it cute to be honest.
"My girlfriend broke up with me."
"Huh?"
"My girlfriend broke up with me."
"O-oh. I'm so sorry.", she finally realized he was actually talking about why he was in that state as she had proposed he do.
"Don't be. It's not your fault. Neither is it mine or hers. It's just the circumstances we found ourselves in."
She remained silent, listening to him speak.
"Her family's moving outside the country and most probably never coming back. She was the only girl that I could confidently say I loved her. I love her so damn much that it hurts."
He looked so broken that it made her feel broken too, if that was even possible.
"I'm so sorry. I don't know what to say.", she had honestly not come across a situation like this so she didn't know how to respond.
"You don't need to say anything. You listening is enough.", she smiled at that.
"To be honest, her parents never really liked me. They always said I looked like a player and a flirt."
"Are you?"
"Do I look like one?"
"Uh..."
"Don't worry, I'm just messing with you.", he chuckled and she smiled as well.
"Sometimes she even doubted if our relationship would last. It honestly broke me everytime she said that but I would just act like it was okay and assure her of everything. But right now...right now I know. All good things do come to an end."
"Not all good things come to an end."
"Oh really? You haven't told me your story either stranger."
"Oh. Well, I did something terrible. Actually, I've been a terrible person for the past five years."
"Aren't we all terrible people to somebody.", he joked and she gave a short laugh.
"But, I managed to make up with them. I'm even shocked on how they forgave me after all that I did to them.", she choked, her tears threatening to spill.
"They're just really good friends-"
"Exactly! That's what makes me feel even worse. Knowing that I did that to them when they didn't even deserve it in the first place. I feel like the most horrible person in the world."
"For all you know, they could be at home making theories of how they are at fault and how they are the most horrible people in the world. Whatever you did I'm sure you had your reasons-"
"But they still don't justify what I-"
"Your friends have already forgiven you. You should forgive yourself too, if not for yourself at least do it for them."
She smiled and nodded, finding light in what he said.
This made him smile an even wider smile, his eyes turning into crescents and his cheeks puffing out.
"Thanks stranger."
"You're welcome stranger."
"I'm Chaeyoung by the way, Park Chaeyoung."
"Jimin, Park Jimin."

Do I smell some Jirosè in the air?
