With her eyes suddenly snapping themselves open, Dahye found herself in Jimin’s arms. He was sound asleep, holding her close to himself. From thoughtlessly moving around too much, her movement had caused Jimin to wake up. Still, nuzzling himself up close to her, a smile formed upon his lips in which she had then noticed. “You’re awake?” She heard him asking her in a soft and delighted tone.

“I’m sorry…but what are you doing here? I don’t remember inviting you here.” She suddenly told him. With immediate reaction, his smile flipped and turned into a frown.

“You called me and told me to come and see you here.” He told her with the feeling of his heart getting crushed right at this moment.

“I did?”

“Yeah. Don’t you remember the things you told me and what we talked about?” He spoke with desperation, in hopes that she did remember it all.

“I don’t. I must’ve been really drunk last night that I can’t even remember.” Her words caused his heart to drop and ache.

“Right, you were drunk, of course.” He spoke sullenly. They fell silent and he only took that time to embrace her despite the fact that she would most likely feel uncomfortable about it. Dahye didn’t say anything and just stayed the way she was. The sudden mood and atmosphere clearly changed and she figured it’d be best she would just remain silent just this once although she felt that he shouldn’t be doing these actions.

            Jimin couldn’t help but believe it was all true. He couldn’t help but think that Dahye meant everything she had told him the night before. She was drunk but he guessed he had forgotten about it. Her words just sounded so real; that she really did forgive him and that she really did want him to be with her. He guessed he had felt too happy when he heard her say that to him that he had completely forgot she was drunk. But he just couldn’t stop himself from feeling hurt by the fact that she just doesn’t remember anything that she said to him. His heart felt pained and but he couldn’t show it. Jimin believes that after all that he’s done, pain was his punishment. No matter how much it hurt, he wouldn’t dare to show it because he just believed it’s karma for all that he’s done to her.

“I’m s-sorry…if I made you uncomfortable…I guess I should be going now…” His arms retracted themselves from her. Telling her that she should remain in bed and to continue to sleep a little more, she could feel his warmth gradually leave and once he was heading out, she was back to feeling cold and empty again. Dahye had noticed the anguish expression that Jimin had shown earlier before leaving. He did seem a little shocked to hear that she couldn’t remember why he was there. She was definitely drunk and she was so drunk to the point in which she can’t even remember a single thing that she could’ve said to him. It was bugging her and she wanted to know what went on because seeing that look on Jimin’s face, she definitely said or had done something to him. Otherwise, there would be no other reason that would make Jimin look like the way he did.

“I thought it could be possible again. And I really thought everything was going to be okay last night but then I realized she can’t remember a single thing because she was just so drunk last night.” Jimin ranted to Taehyung. It wasn’t that he felt angry, he just felt so saddened that he just needed to talk to someone about or else he’d probably go insane. “Everything she said to me wasn’t real because she was just drunk.”

            Taehyung stared at his friend who was completely distraught, “Well, when you think about it, she was drunk and she told you that, meaning that’s most likely what she wants either way.”

“I know but…she might just end up wanting to start new and forget about me.”

“I understand that you’re worried but you just need to calm down and take some time to relax without having her on your mind.”

“How can I not have her on my mind? It’s just impossible.”

“Just sit down in your office or at the company building and just focus on your work. Don’t think about anything or anyone else, just pay attention to your work and that’ll definitely keep you relaxed.”

“I guess you’re right.” Maybe he did need time isolated from others and should just concentrate on his job. Working at the company and doing nothing else is just what he needs. Listening to Taehyung’s advice, he took his mind off of everything, kept his phone with Secretary Lee at all times so he’d never be tempted to contact anyone. He’d only go on his phone to make calls if Secretary Lee tells him it’s related to business or it’s Taehyung or Jungkook. Taehyung’s suggestion was actually working for him; no distractions, nothing. Jimin took his mind off of things and only focused on work for almost an entire week too.

            Dahye’s been without Jimin for about a week and she was trying her best to feel fine. She usuallly thinks about how he feels and she could tell he was telling her the truth about everything. She just didn’t want to forgive him right away yet because she just wanted to know if she was ready and actually wanted a relationship with him this time. She worked hard at the café and paid attention in her classes. She told herself that it’s best to focus on her daily life and it’s matters rather than focusing on her concerns and worries relating to Jimin.

            Even from afar in the café and even when she was clear across the café from him, a man kept staring at her. It was like he could be watching her all day long. Resting his chin on his palm, he stared at her with a smile upon his face. The way she was working so diligently made her so attractive in his eyes. He’s never gotten to speak to her directly besides ordering his drinks at the café though. She was just someone he’s always admired from afar.

“Here is your order for one Americano.” Dahye politely said to him and placed t
