The days that passed, the day today and the days that were about to come where better. And by better, the included me and Jaehyun. He never declared that we were now good but time was needed. We wouldn’t force pieces that were unfitting.

Now here I found myself, admiring Jaehyun’s side view as we walked down the streets of Busan.

Mom actually married again, 6 years after their divorce. Being realistic, my step-father, Mr. Nam, was no evil like the ones, one would see in a Korean drama. Instead he was a simple businessman who originally is from Busan, which explains how we ended up here for New Years, though both of them worked in Seoul which makes their property in Busan as their vacation house.

Mr. Nam also had a son from his first wife, who was 3 years older than me, a fresh graduate who was currently working Mr. Nam’s company and just like his father he was extremely sweet and took care of me like his own little sister.

“Jaehyun! Jinae!” We hear my mom excitedly call us once we reached the house, my mom immediately envelopes Jaehyun into a hug and wonder who did she actually give birth to.

“How can you just hug him first?” I whine at my mom, while the two laugh at me instead. I then see another tall lad, who came running towards us, “Joohyuk oppa!”, I run into him.

Just in sync, Taehyung and Jisoo gave each other a look. Taehyung looked away after receiving a cold glare, and wraps his arm around her waist before continue their way. Jisoo plasters a smile as they reached Jimin, and Taehyung has no choice but to let her out of his so she could greet him properly.

“It’s been a long time, Jisoo!” The shorter lad pats her back and shots a questioning look, noticing the cold tension between the couple.

Taehyung shakes his and heaves a sigh. Jisoo makes her way in first and Jimin takes the time to ask, “Did you guys fight?”.

“A lot lately.”

11:30PM - BUSAN

It already was 11:30 in the evening, just 30 minutes before a new year would step in. Despite the chilly weather, nothing stopped me and Jaehyun from roaming  outside at the garden till we finally found ourselves at the second floor’s terrace. We stood against the glass railings as we admired Busan with the comforting silence enveloping us.

I turned to look at Jaehyun, his soft brown hair which wa
