Reenacting my silent side. Making my way back into the bedroom, grabbing my phone quickly off the nightstand but was greeted with a text from an unknown number.
"L/N Y/N? Is this you?"
Huh?
Who's this?
No contact, no profile picture.
Just an unknown number.
Should I humour them or should I ignore it?
But my curiosity piqued my interest, so while walking out of the bedroom. Closing the door behind me, texting back to the number
"Yes this is L/N Y/N. Who is this?"
Seeing as it was a really recent text, and by how recent. It was only sent a minute or two ago.
Holding my phone in my hand to wait for the text, I was back in the kitchen. Getting ready to prepare for breakfast.
Humming to myself, it vibrated causing me to look at the phone once more.
Taking me aback a bit, seeing what the person texted back with.
My heart dropped almost a little, but stayed calm to not cause a scene this early in the morning.
"Ya L/N Y/N, it's me. Yu Jimin. We need to talk"
Digging the top of my phone into my forehead, taking a deep breath.
Y/N - oh for god's sake.
Five years. Five years have passed since she left Jinae and I's life.
Why does it have to be now?
For five years, I've roamed all around SM avoiding her and making sure our paths wouldn't cross.
But at a certain point, the past has come to haunt me.
Putting my phone down at a certain distance away from my face, I've realised. I can't run away from this.
Y/N
Talk about what?
Jimin
I just want to talk to you, in person.
Y/N
When? I don't suppose you are free? Everyone's working these days.
I don't think she knows that I know she's an idol. She's aware that I don't listen or watch tv relating to K-pop mainly.
Jimin
Are you free today? We're off for the holidays
Scratching the back of my head, I guess I can tell Haewon to take care of Jinae while I'm gone.
I'm starting to see a pattern here of my time being taken up a lot more than it should be.
Y/N
Yeah I should be, what time?
Jimin
I was thinking about in thirty minutes? It's okay if you can't make it. I just have to do something with my friend later on today
Y/N
Yeah nah sure. I can do that.
Jimin
Cool, I'll send you the address in a bit
Y/N
Cool cool
Putting my phone away into my pocket, laying my hands on the counter top.
I could only think of what to say or even do when I saw her.
But I do know it's still something I'm going to be thinking about even before I turn the corner.
—-------------
My hands remained still on the steering wheel, with a free conscience.
Tapping lightly with my index finger every few seconds in triplets.
I was only a few minutes away from where she wanted to meet, a certain place here in Seoul where we used to go out on dates when we were younger.
I'm surprised it's still around after all these years, but coming back now. It gives me a unsure feeling from within.
Where did the time go all these years, as I watched her become the superstar that she is now while I sat and cowered away from job to job.
Despite what she did, for herself and for the sake of what she wanted. I was proud of her for who she has become.
Remembering the day I would pick her up from SM myself or having to wait minutes, sometimes hours on dates because she couldn't get out of training fast enough.
Pondering upon that put a slight smile on my face but couldn't help to wonder that who she is now, wasn't who she was before. Rubbing off that smile in an instant.
I have responsibilities now, there's no need for me to lay it off because I'm stuck on nostalgia of a past that we don't have anymore.
Parking in an open spot, my eyes spotted her in the near distance only about a few meters away from me. Looking at her, the same way I used to. It was almost like I wanted to duck and hide and go but eventually, you'll have to face your fears.
Y/N - you can do this Y/N.
Closing my eyes and clenching my fists, taking a big deep breath. Calming myself as my heart was almost out of my chest, anxious, confused and I don't have to lie. It hurt a little.
A little too much.
Unbuckling my seatbelt around me, getting out of the car, locking it.
Walking up to her with my hands in my jacket pockets, she was a bit distracted since she was peeled to her phone but I could recognise her from a mile away if I had to.
Those angel eyes I wouldn't dare to forget at all.
Sure she had a mask on and I'm glad to see she kept that necklace I got her in 12th grade.
Y/N - ya Yu Jimin.
Her head turned up to me in a snap, almost as if she was shocked to see me. Watching her hand go down, phone in hand very slowly.
Karina - Y/-
Feet shuffling, almost struggling to stand up where we met toe to toe, eye to eye.
I don't know if she's happy to see me, or holding anything against me.
I just don't know what to expect.
Almost in a instant, before I could react. Her arms wrapped around my neck, tip toed since it caught me off guard.
Karina - I- I haven't seen you in forever.
Some shock in my face, it was nothing I expected but taking my hands out of my jacket. It wrapped around her waist, hugging her back.
Y/N - m- me too.
I'm still a nervous wreck but, in a way. Still in my eyes, she was still Yu Jimin.
