You were wet, soaking wet in your bed to be exact. No..not like that kind of wet, but wet as sweating from another nightmare kind of wet. You shot up from your sleep and began to look down at yourself 

 

 

 

“Not again.”, as you sigh to yourself. 

 

 

 

You get up and change into another pair of pj’s. You began to realize the nightmare you had. This nightmare would be the same nightmare you had for the past week. It was about you and your best friend named Park Jimin (you just called him Jimin for short). You had been friends ever since your freshman year in college. You came to Seoul, South Korea to go to your dream college. This meant you had to leave your home country and fly half way across the world where you knew absolutely no one. Jimin had spotted you on the first day of school. He told you that you looked like a lost sheep and he wanted to help you, ever since then you two have been called the ‘dynamic duo’ doing anything and everything together. 

As you begin to drift back from your flashback you realize what you were supposed to be thinking about, oh right, the nightmare. The nightmare was about you and Jimin talking, not just talking, but talking as in “I-want-to-be-more-than-friends-talk” and it wasn’t going very well. You confessed your feelings to him and well…lets just say he didn’t feel the same way about you…at all. He only wanted to stay friends and even said he was seeing someone on the down low. (you know what “that” means) After you heard this your heart broke into pieces and your world felt like it was falling apart. Everything began to spin and before you knew it…BOOM.  And that’s were the nightmare ended every night. Nothing new. Just the same dream repeated over. And over. And over. Again. Complete hell. 

The reason you were having this nightmare replayed in your head over and over again was that you had some real ‘feelings’ for Jimin. You had always felt this way since you first saw him on the first day of school, but you couldn’t confess. Now since you were going back to your home country you realized that you probably wouldn't see Jimin for a couple of months, or even a year. This made your stomach twist and turn. Jimin had always been beside you with everything you did. You had to confess before you left or else you couldn’t live with yourself. The only problem with this is that your plane leaves…tomorrow night,at 11:30pm to be precise. You look at the clock It says “11:30pm” on the dot. 

“Great…” You say sarcastically.  “24 hours to confess my love to Jimin.”’ 

And with that you plopped back down on your bed and went back to sleep. 

The next morning you wake and look at the clock “7:00am” it says. You sigh as you get up. You had always been an early bird even though you always went to sleep really late, because of this you barely got six hours of sleep a night.  How did you do  it? Nobody knows. You picked out a pair of clothes. A plain purple t-shirt, black skinny jeans, and you favorite shoes, converse, of course. You took a shower, got dressed, did your hair, and brushed your teeth. After this you went into your kitchen and made breakfast, ate, and then looked at your schedule for the day, even though you were leaving today you always had a schedule for each day. No matter what. You looked at it: 

 

Schedule 

 

Wake Up: 7:00am 

 

Go get lunch with Jimin: 11:30am 

 

Go to Jimin’s apartment to get a “gift”’: 5:00pm - 7:00pm 

 

Ride to airport: 8:00pm-10:30pm

 

Board plane: 11:30pm :(

 

As you looked up from your very short schedule, you realized almost everything you did today would have Jimin by your side. As always, but something didn’t feel right about meeting Jimin today. You felt as though all of a sudden being around him would make you awkward. You looked out your apartment window at the city below you. 

“I have to confess today.” You say. “Or else I won’t ever know if Jimin loves me back.” 

You look at you clock “9:15” it says. You decide to leave early and go for a walk to ease your mind. You walk until it is time to meet up with Jimin for lunch. 

“Great” You sigh. “I don’t know if I can do this, but I have to.” as you say to yourself. 

You walk into your favorite lunch spot to eat,Gogung. As you walk in, you see Jimin sitting at a table. You look him up and down. He has dark brown hair, beautiful brown eyes, and thick thighs. The three things you always admired about Jimin other than his personality, of course. You take you seat beside him. 

“Hi Jagi!” Jimin says to you. 

“Hi Jimin Oppa.” You say back. 

Jimin rarely called you Jagi, but when he did, your heart always raced. 

“I already ordered us lunch, but don’t worry I got your favorite.” He says while he smirks at you. 

“You didn’t have to do that Jimin.” You say back to him. 

“Oh yes I did. It’s your last day. I don’t want you to be stressed out.” He says softly “I want you to have the best last day in Seoul you can have.” 

You look at him. His smile is showing fully. Your heart races as you stare at him. 

“Gosh. Why are you so handsome.” You say in your head. 

“Jagi. Are you okay?” He says to you. 

You snap from your daydream.

“Uh yeah, yeah. I am fine. I was just thinking.” As you lyingly say. 

You look away from Jimin and see the waiter come with your food. As Jimin, said it is your favorite: Kimchi, Kimchi Fried Rice, and Korean Chicken Skewers. How did he know your favorite dishes? You don’t know. All you know is that you two begin to eat an before you knew it both of your plates were clean.  You two talk for about an hour about old times and then you look at your phone. “1:30pm” it says. You sigh to yourself as the clock in your head counts down. 

“Twelve hours to confess my love for Jimin.” As you say in your head. 

“Hey Jagi I know you aren’t supposed to come over to my apartment until 5, but if you have nothing to do I would love if you came over early.” He says in a pleading way.

“Well..I have nothing to do. And I don’t want to be lonely on my last day here, so why not?” You say happily. 

“Great!! Come on Jagi let’s go!!” He says as he runs away from the table. 

“Wait! Jimin…I have something to tell you.”  You say in a sad tone. 

 

He turns around and looks at you. He sits back down. 

“I….uh..I….” You say as your throat starts to close up. 

“What’s wrong Jagi. It looks like you are about to cry.” He says looking into your eyes. 

“I….lo..I mean…I…really appreciate you always being by my side.” You say as a gush of air releases from you throat. 

“WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL HIM HOW YOU FEEL?!!!” You scream to yourself in your head. 

“Awww Jagi…It’s nothing. I always like hanging out with you…NOW LET’S GO WE HAVE TO HAVE THE BEST LAST DAY IN SEOUL EVER!!!” He says as he half way yells as he runs out the door.

You run behind him. Not knowing what will happen next. 

You reach Jimin’s apartment. Halfway out of breath you crouch down and try not to faint. Lets just say….you aren’t the running type. Jimin opens his apartment door and lets you go in first. (He is a true gentlemen) You sit down on the couch. As soon as you sit down on the couch you feel an awkward tense feeling in the air. Jimin walks toward you and sits rather close to you on the couch. Your breath catches. 

“Jimin…uhhh….what do you want to do?” You say halfway dying from him being so close to you. 

“Whatever you want to do…but first I have to give you your ‘gift’” He says, running down his hallway. 

He returns with a box wrapped very neatly with clean pretty wrapping paper. You look at him in surprise. The box was so big and it looked so heavy. You felt sad now knowing that you didn’t get anything for Jimin. He hands you the box. It was heavier than you thought…what could be in it? You open it and see all the things you did, places you went , and photos you took with Jimin. 

“Wow Jimin…you kept all of this?” You say shockingly.

“Of course….you are my best friend…I wanted to keep these for you…Just in case you know…you left.” He says in a saddened tone. 

“Thank you Oppa.” You say back to him. 

Jimin sits down beside you again. You two watch reruns of your favorite Korean dramas shows…the hours tick by without you knowing it. You look at your phone “8:20pm” it says. 

“OH CRAP!!!” You scream. 

“AHHHH JAGI ARE YOU OKAY!!! WHAT’S WRONG!!!!” Jimin screams back at you in a worried tone. 

“I WAS SUPPOSED TO LEAVE AND START DRIVING TO THE AIRPORT 20 MINUTES AGO!.” You half way scream to yourself. 

 

“Jagi, don’t worry I can drop you off. We can stop by your apartment, get the last of your things, and still make it to the airport on time.” He says in a relaxing voice. 

“You really think we can make it.” You say. 

“I know we can.” He says looking into your eyes while smiling. 

Before you could look away you felt Jimin pushing you out the door and into the car. He rushed to your apartment and got the rest of your things. He then went on the highway to the airport. You looked at the speed limit. It said “50mph” clearly Jimin was going about 70, but you didn’t stop him. Even though Jimin was clearly speeding the traffic was still heavy. It felt like it was taking ages to get through one stop light. You reached the airport you looked at your phone “11:15” It read to you. 

 

“WE MADE IT JAGI!!!” Jimin says in a heroic voice. 

You two enter the airport looking for the way to go. You two take about five minutes just to find the spot. 

“Plane 106 is leaving in ten minutes.” The lady on the intercom says. 

“Well…I guess this is goodbye Jagi.” Jimin says in a sad voice. 

 

You look at him. His head is looking down at the ground. He eyes are watering up, as though he is about to cry. You pull him in for a hug. 

“THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE.” You yell to yourself inside your head. 

 

As the hug continues to last… you don’t waste a second. 

 

“Jimin Oppa….I…I love you… I have always loved you…ever since the first day I laid eyes on you..It makes me happy just being by your side..All these feelings I just cant hide…You’ll always be in my heart …Cant bear the pain when we are apart …” You say with tears running down your check.

“Jagi….I thought you would never say that…because…I love you too…It feels good to be in your arms….to feel the warmth of your touch……I love to look into your beautiful eyes… to see how much you care.” He says with tears in his eyes. 

Before you could say anything else Jimin’s lips touch yours. Sparks fly and butterflies empty from your stomach. Is this how love is supposed to feel…you never knew until this moment… The kiss ends and Jimin looks into your eyes. 

 

“I promise…I will visit you Jagi..I promise…don’t forget about me..I am going to miss you..so much.” He says with a broken voice. 

“Two minutes to board plane 106…Two minutes.” The lady over the intercome says. 

 

You give Jimin one last hug…you give him one last look. You left Jimin behind and boarded your plane. When you made it to your home country you checked your phone. “One new text message from: Jimin” It read. Your heart raced. What could he have said? 

 

You looked at the message. It read: 

 

“How can you ache and crave for someone's touch. When you have never felt it? 

I do this for yours, though, And the yearning grows more each day. I have never wanted anything in my life As much as I want you. When you whisper such sweet love In my ear when we talk. You make me melt into a puddle Of complete helplessness. You have become my every waking thought  And my every dream at night I breathe in so hard  Trying to catch my breath when we can't talk 

I close my eyes so tight Hoping when I open them you will be there

But I know I have to wait  Until the time is right. It seems so far away 

That I think I am losing my mind. I want to breathe in your scent 

And keep it with me all day long. I want to taste your love for me 

By kissing your sweet lips. I want to feel your body next to me 

So when you leave for awhile I can hold on. I just want you to know 

That I really do love you… When the day comes and we are together 

You will always know and feel this. I will always hug, kiss and love you 

Every moment of the day and night ...You will never have another touch unfelt…

Hurry back Jagi..I want to call you my girlfriend”

 

“Why wait? :)” You texted back.
