Happier (DahMin) [Completed]

Chapter 36

Dahyun's POV

I decided to talk to him. If I'll drown myself to my own thoughts that are not even valid it'll just complicate things more.

I have to ask him.

I have to see him.

I have to confirm things before I make my decision.

The decision that will change my life forever.

I came looking for Jimin and I stopped when I heard Taehyung's growling voice. I saw him and Jimin.

"Face me!" I quickly hid and continue eavesdropping them.

"Yes! this is between you two, but how could you fix things if you're going to ignore and avoid her!"

Jimin didn't say anything, he just stayed silent.

"Jimin..what is happening to you? You love her, don't you?" Taehyung asked. But still no response from him.

Why can't he answer? Did he not love me? Was it all a lie?

"Jimin answer me, you love Dahyun right? Dahyun is not a rebound is she?" Taehyung's question made me stunned. Slowly I felt my knees weaken.

Am I?

I walked away and went to the garden to have some fresh air, to think things about what I heard. Didn't even bothered to listen to what Jimin will say.

As I sat on the bench, I heard footsteps coming. I looked back and saw him.

Jimin...

He froze for a while as he saw me. However, he continued.

He sat at the opposite end of the bench. Putting a distance between us.

We both are looking at the flowers and other plants. No one dared to talk.

After minutes of silence. I started to ask.

"I-It isn't true, right?" I gulped so hard after I asked. Expecting his answer would make me at ease.

Slowly I looked at him, looking in front.

His face was emotionless. I can feel the coldness from within. This is not him. This is not Jimin who said I love you's many times.

This is not the Jimin who cared for and loved me.

or..did Jimin ever really

"No. It's true" he straightly said like it was nothing. my eyes are starting to get blurry.

A blur.

That's what we are now. I can't see my Jimin anymore, he's getting blurry. Our relationship is now blurry.

I looked away, trying to suppress the tears from falling.

I kept asking. These questions are enough to confirm everything. No matter how painful it'll bring me, it's done anyways.

I don't have the strength to be mad and to fight.

I swallowed hard again "A-Am I-I a rebound?" I don't know what to feel if he said yes.

Why would I be hurt right? In fact, this is all my fault. It's my fault for being in pain. If I did not hope that he will finally notice me after breaking up with Seulgi, this pain wouldn't be in here.

I wouldn't be in pain. Didn't I ask for this? the moment I heard their break up. I hoped.

"Yes. What happened between us, what words I said was all a lie. What actions I did was an act" how can he say it all so directly, like it was nothing, like I am nobody. Like I mean nothing. No hesitations.

"W-What do y-you mean?" Memories of us together came flashing in my mind. It was all a beautiful memory. Little did I know it was all a lie. A nightmare.

I tried to remain calm. I tried not to cry. I tried not to stammer. I tried not to sob. I tried to stop my tears.

I tried. And now I'm tired.

Seconds of silence then he breaks it as he crashes me with the words he said.

"I'm breaking up with you and yes you are a rebound. I would never like someone like you. So let's stop this shit" 23 words. I didn't know 23 words was enough to break my world.

Those tears I tried to suppress so hard were now falling continuously. Like a waterfall.

He left me. He's gone.

I felt arms embraced me as my cries went loud. As my world fell apart there he was trying to pick up the shattered pieces of me

"T-Taehyung" I called out.

No advice. No words. He didn't speak.

He's just there. Hugging me as if the pain would go away.

As if it can change the fact that all of it was a lie.

That all of it is now gone.

That he is now gone.

1 MONTH AFTER

"ARE you sure about this?" The Head of the Agency said when I did not sign the renewal of the contract.

All of the members knew my plan. That I'll quit showbiz when the contract ends.

I just can't anymore.

I can't bear seeing him. especially when Seulgi uploads photos of them together and I can't help using social media because of my profession. It brings back all the memories. The bad and good ones.

And this isn't all about him anyways. I wanted to quit before all of this happened. I'm just not into the chaos and everything. I want a peaceful life.

I nodded as my answer. They will handle the process while I, will leave.

The Agency tried to convince me to stay though, but my decision is final.

I want a peaceful life.

I want to forget.

And that will happen if I would make our small world big enough for us to not see each other.

"We'll miss you" Chaeyoung mumbled. Then they all hugged me and whispered their own "I miss you" and reminders for me.

My plan is to live in the province. Far away from city life. Probably near the sea. The place where I will stay is already prepared by my brothers, especially Sang Bum Oppa. When he heard the news about me and Jimin he quickly agreed to my plan.

My plan is a bit complicated. I have no work now. Though work and money is not a problem. I have my savings, Sang Bum Oppa and Jin Oppa won't let me be of course. It's just that, of course, I needed to work, I don't want to depend on anybody anymore.

People in our lives are temporary. No matter how much you love them they all will leave soon. All you have is yourself and I realize that way too late.

Loving him from afar was fine and I was too greedy to ask for more. Look what it brought me. More pain to hide.

So now I'll start to make things right and maybe...just maybe, forget.

I put all my luggage in the car trunk and get in the driver's seat.

From this moment and on, it will just be me....alone.
