[A/N: Listening to a song that shows mellow and gloomy feelings for a lost loved one is perfect for this chapter. Enjoy😐]

Saying that, I again pushed the glasses up with my middle finger on purpose, which definitely paused him off. As he was about to walked in with wobbly steps and said,

"Taerim-ah~! You are so cute~!" I cringed at his cuteness and said,

"Okay, Mr. Alien! Come and finish your meal."

{Time Skip}

We had finished eating Japchae and Jajangmyeon. I was now setting the plates and cutlery in my kitchen sink to clean up. But then a realization came in my mind.

Someone has to get these two nuisances to their dorm.

I immediately walked out of the kitchen and took my Driving License out of my backpack and my previous jacket to go and get Seokjin's Mercedes back before it gets towed away from the cafè.

I know, you may think, "Why go around walking all day when you can drive and already have a driving license. Just buy a car. You are a rich man's daughter."  But I'd rather prefer walking since everything is too close for me and I didn't want to use a car.

I do have a 2015 Aston Martin that my dad once gifted me for an occasion. But now it is in my dad's mansion's garage with his other 7 cars. And when I left my home, I didn't want anything purchased by my dad's money around me at that time. So I asked and Jiae helped me to move out of the mansion.

And now, you may think I may not even make it to their dorm and and maybe kill them along with me as I hadn't driven for 3 years. But trust me, I've been having my fair share of driving in these years though I don't have a car being the daughter of the Jang Hyeseop.

So now I had tied the laces on my boots and wore my jacket as I was about to step out of the apartment. But then a strong hand held mine firmly and prevented me to get out. I turned around to see that it was Seokjin, who was still shirtless. He then said,

"I'll go with you."

I then stared him from top to bottom and replied,

"Like that?"

He then gave a sly smile as he pulled out his right hand behind his back and it had a Purple full sleeve mens' silk shirt in it. I thought,

How is this outside? I thought I kept it back in the storage room.

With that, I asked,

"Where did you find this?"

He then have a shy smile and he replied while looking down on his feet,

"I found it behind your dress rack when I was hiding there. So I took it. Can I wear this?"

My mind went,

Why did it have have to be this shirt? Why did he have to find this? Why?

I then replied,

"Sure."

He then gave me a small smile and said,

"Be out in a minute!"

He then went inside the guest room. I just stood there in disbelief as my mind said,

Why did it have to be this shirt? Why?

We were now in Seokjin's Mercedes. The walk we had from my apartment to the now closed cafè was awkwardly silent. He didn't say or ask anything and I also decided to play along. I was now in the driver's seat as Seokjin sat in the shotgun seat. I started to drive the car and Seokjin asked,

"What do you like about that guy?"

I was a little confused by the sudden question he just popped. So I just asked back,

"Who?"

He then replied as he looked outside,

"That talk guy with the teethy smile who were blushing wild in front of."

[A/N: I mean... you have to admit Seonghwa has a really beautiful smile!!! he did get braces done when he was in high school, which resulted in that beautiful grin all of us ATINYs simp over.]

I was thinking for a second as it hit my head that he was talking about Seonghwa. I just concentrated on the road and replied,

"He's just a friend. Why?"

My mind immediately went,

Wow! Just a friend? Ya!!! He just kissed you a while ago on the sidewalk. How can you say that the Park Seonghwa is just a friend?!

Well, it just happened out of nowhere. I'm sure that he didn't mean anything by it. But just remembering that breathless look he had on his face after the kiss, I was struggling with hiding the smile that wanted to come on my lips. But then Seokjin replied and made that easier.

"I saw you kissing him on the sidewalk."

My face just lost all of its' colour. I was too deeply engrossed in Seonghwa that I didn't even see him. Oh My God! What do I do? I asked,

"How long were you there?"

He then replied,

"Just before you crossed the street. I saw from the living room window that he saved you from the car and..."

He trailed off from his sentence and I said,

"It was just an accident, that's all."

I took a peak at him as I turned the car at the curve. He was a bit of surprised, sad and angry all together. He was being a bit too obsessive about that. But then he again asked,

"By the way, why do you have a mens' shirt in your wardrobe?"

I then looked at him and saw that it had a streak of curiosity on it. I looked away from him and said,

"It belongs to a person who was important to me."

Was? Is he not important to you anymore, Taerim? Are you forgetting him this soon? Do you think he'll be fine with this?

He then asked,

"Who?"

My subconscious mind spoke up,

He's asking too many questions.

We had now reached my apartment building safely. I push the brakes on and said,

"Well, we're here. Go and bring Taehyung down. You do know the gate  password, right?"

He paused for a while. Then I looked at him with a simple look and he replied with a small nod before he stepped out of the car.

[A/N: I had to... Sorry. Well... Taerim is really stuck with the memories of this "He", huh?  And I am 100% sure that you are also curious about this "He". Don't worry. You will get to know a lot about "Him" as the story progresses.

Sorry for simping over Seonghwa in the middle of the story. But I can't help it. His smile is like a switch to happiness to me. I mean, LOOK AT HIS INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT!!!

Back to the story, Jin asked her about Hwa. Now, the way she responded is (i hope cuz i have no experience in romance or love whatsoever) how all of us would have. but... Jin's reaction to her words was a little unexpected. Specially for someone who does not want to get married to her. Seems sus, right? you will get to to know more about everyone as the story keeps progressing.
