Mina and Dahyun both entered his room. mina was checking out Dahyun's Huge room and the new room is still not organized so almost the room is empty just a king-size bed and a lavish bathroom, there is a couch and table and there is a small box she suppose he has all his alcoholic stuff there.

"Are you hungry? should I get you something?" Dahyun asked Mina.

"No I'm good".

"Give me few Minutes I'll just shower and come"

Mina nodded and Dahyun left for the bathroom.

There was a book on the table which is open, Mina slowly walked to the book, and it looks like a journal. Dahyun writes journal? she thought and took the book, it was in Korean she couldn't read all of it. She came into my life like a gentle breeze, her giggles are like a whispered melody, stirred something within me, wildly. Her smile, a radiant star that illuminated the darkest corners of my soul, I feel she is enough to get me to walk out of my darkness. I still Love you Sana, I think I won't ever get over you. and then, she sweeps me off my feet and really shows me the goodness of forming a new relationship. I feel good having someone who cares. I realized that sometimes, love finds us when we need it the most to thrive. Is it bad that I like her in my life and same time I hate the thought of what if she leaves me too Mina heard the door open, she hid the book behind her and looked at Dahyun.

Dahyun came out half- with only a towel around his lower body. dahyun noticed that she was hiding the book

He walked to her and was so close to Mina, Mina gulped at their proximity "You shouldn't touch everything Myoi" Dahyun whispered in her ear in a husky voice, trailed his hands to her waist getting his hands on the book, wrapping his arms around her waist.

Mina felt chills down her spine listening to his husky voice, dahyun walked to the table and closed the book, and kept it in his wardrobe.

"I'm surprised you have a habit of keeping a journal"

"That's Not Journal.. he looked at her It's just..scrap

Mina nodded.

"Can you get dressed?" 

Mina asked after gawking at Dahyun's abs for a good few moments.

"Oops"

he smirked

Dahyun crossed his arms and covered his bare chest.

Dahyun walked to his wardrobe and picked a Tee.

 "So what are you doing here Myoi? In Korea"

"Umm...I Signed another project with JYP and Jihyo-chan asked me about the contract under their company and I'm actually thinking of considering it" Mina smiled.

God swear Dahyun could really die with that smile she just gave to him.

"I remember Jihyo saying that your company was rejecting the offer, and what made them consider now?" Dahyun asked putting his pant on.

"It's me..who wanted to do," Mina said walking back towards the bed and sitting there

Dahyun poured whiskey into a glass "What made you agree with it now?" walking slowly towards her and sipping his drink.

Mina looked up at him and said "You"

Dahyun's heart was racing He placed the glass aside and slowly approached her, her eyes meeting his. Gently, he parted her legs, closing the distance between them. With a tender touch, he lifted her chin and when he moved his face close to her, she closed her eyes he pressed a soft kiss upon her forehead.

Mina opened her eyes and saw Dahyun sipping the drink again. She doesn't understand Dahyun, what he is trying to do? or say?

"Why you left without goodbye Dahyun? A little pause You kissed? and ....You left...without any trace like it didn't mean anything to you, Why"

"You kissed back Mina...You wanted that too." Dahyun smirked

"Oh! Shutup" Mina rolled her eyes

"Make me" Dahyun moved closer to her.

"I would" Mina smirked

"Then, You Will have to moan a little less loud" Saying this dahyun signed to the next room and signaled "shh" and held her face close,started kissing her, and slowly both fell onto his bed. Their tongues delicately danced together, exploring each other's lips and mouths. With each kiss, their bond deepened, fueling a heightened sense of desire and intimacy between them.

After their deep and passionate kiss, Dahyun and Mina slowly broke away, their lips parting with a soft lingering sensation. Dahyun couldn't resist teasing Mina, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

"You're getting better at kissing Myoi and I'm getting addicted to your taste" Dahyun smirked giving wet kisses on her jawline.

"Oh, really?" Dahyun nodded

"Maybe I need to up my game then. I wouldn't want to disappoint you." Mina turned placing her lips on his.

"I didn't know you had such a bold side to you. I'm Loving it though! " Dahyun chuckled. Mina's cheeks flushed slightly

Mina playfully "Oh, you have no idea what I'm capable of, Dahyun." She put her hand inside his shirt.

Dahyun chuckled, leaning in closer to whisper in Mina's ear, his voice filled with playful confidence.

"I have a feeling there's a lot more to discover, and I'm more than ready for the challenge." When Dahyun was about to lean to capture her lips again, Mina couldn't resist her mischievous nature as she saw an opportunity to tickle Dahyun, knowing it would elicit an adorable reaction. She pounced playfully, tickling Dahyun's sides, causing laughter to bubble forth.

Dahyun giggling "Mina, stop! I can't... hahaha... take it anymore!"

Mina grinning "If you are looking at what I'm seeing, you would never stop too...You are So ADORABLE, I can't resist."

Dahyun's pleas continued, but Mina couldn't help but enjoy the sight and sound of Dahyun's infectious laughter.

Dahyun between laughs "Please, Mina! I surrender! No more tickling!"

Mina laughing "Alright, alright. I'll stop... for now."

Dahyun caught his breath, a playful glint in his eyes.

Dahyun "Oh, Mina, you're going to regret this."

With a mischievous grin, Dahyun quickly turned the tables, chasing after Mina, ready to seek revenge for the tickle attack.

Mina laughed "Oh no, you won't catch me that easily, Dahyun!"

As Mina reached the balcony, she was captivated by the majestic display of thunderstorms in the distance. The rumbling thunder filled the air, evoking a sense of awe and tranquility within her. She stood there, mesmerized by the natural spectacle unfolding before her eyes.

As he saw Mina's fascination with the thunder, memories of Sana's fear of storms flooded his mind. He couldn't help but be reminded of how terrified Sana would become during thunderstorms, seeking comfort and solace from him.

Mina was concerned "Dahyun, what's wrong?"

Dahyun's voice trembled as he spoke, his words carrying the weight of memories. Instantly, she wrapped her arms around him, pulling him into a tight embrace.

"Sana... she's terrified of thunderstorms. She couldn't sleep well"

  #Hospital

  Sana was trembling in fear with the sounds of thunder...Momo hugged her and comforting her.

  "I'm here Sana, Nothing will happen to you" Momo's words did give relief to Sana and she buried her head in Momo's arms and hugged her tightly.

  Momo caressing her back, she slowly drifted to sleep after a while.  'You don't need her satang' she slowly whispered.

Mina whispered soothingly "It's okay, Dahyun"

They were Just watching the city view from the balcony

As Mina's eyelids grew heavy with sleep, Dahyun noticed her exhaustion and concern etched on his face.

"Mina, you look so tired. Why don't you rest on the bed? I can take the couch." his voice filled with care.

She shook her head, a sleepy smile gracing her lips. "No, Dahyun. I want you to sleep with me. Cuddles would be so nice right now."

Dahyun understood her desire for warmth and closeness, and he nodded, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Of course, Mina. Let's cuddle. I want to be close to you too." he lifted her in bridal style, and she wrapped her hands around his neck.

He put her in bed and both slipped under the covers together. Mina nestled herself against Dahyun's chest, finding comfort in his presence. Dahyun wrapped his arms around her, creating a cozy haven for them both. Mina's drowsiness melted into a peaceful slumber, her breath steady against Dahyun's chest. Dahyun held her gently and her hair, kissing them cherishing the moment and the tranquility it brought.

#Morning

When Mina woke up she saw the other side of the bed was empty and suddenly she felt her heart sink as Dahyun left her again, but then reality check it was his house, so he will be here, a sense of relief..but while getting out of bed she had many thoughts what if it's not dahyun's apartment? what if he leaves her again? When she opened the door and stepped into the hallway, her eyes widened at the sight before her. There, standing timidly, was a cute little child who is struggling to carry a small piano. The child seemed startled by the presence of a stranger. Mina instantly walked to him to help him

"Who are you?" Why are you coming from Hyung's room? She tried to take the piano from him I don't need your help. I can take care of myself!" Jiho took the piano in his hands

"Umm...I'm Mina and I'm Dahyun's friend, Let me help you. It looks heavy, and I don't want you to strain yourself." Mina said.

Jiho shook his head  "I can handle it, Mina-noona. I don't need any help. I'm stronger than I look." he put the piano down and showed his muscles.

Mina laughed cause she finds it so adorable and cute, and he just looks like Dahyun.

"You didn't tell me your name ?" Mina asked with her broken Korean actually she was working hard to perfect her Korean

"You are a stranger, I was told not to tell any information to strangers" he lifted his piano and walked to the living room, and placed it on the table.

"I told you my name..so technically we aren't strangers anymore...right? Jiho shook his head not convincing You know, Little fire, I may be a stranger, but I'm also a friend of your brother Dahyun. I promise I won't harm you or anything. I just want to get to know you better." Jiho nodded understanding.

"Do you know where Dahyun is?" Mina asked Jiho.

"He got a call from his friend and he said he will be back soon noona, didn't he tell you?" Mina shooked her head as No

Jiho noticed Mina hurt expression and walked to her and held her hand with his tiny hands. "don't worry noona, Jiho is here with you to protect you till Hyung comes" Mina smiled and hugged him.

"I got your name" she grinned "Jiho" Mina heard his stomach grumble and asked "Are you hungry? Jiho-chan, I'll make something for us to eat?"

Jiho nodded. Both walked into the kitchen and Both fell into conversations talking about games, Disney movies, cartoons...Jiho totally loved Mina's company and he enjoyed their talks as he never had anyone to talk to about his likes and dislikes, about games and cartoons but Mina and Jiho shared quite the same interests.

"This is so Yummy Noona, You're really good at cooking!" Jiho complimented the cheese toast Mina made.

"I'll make something for you later if you want anything let me know," Mina said

"Noona, just stay with us, hyung doesn't know anything except egg rolls to make..he always makes me eat egg rolls" Mina laughed at his expression.

As they continued their Breakfast, Jiho opened up to Mina. He revealed his little secret that he had been learning to play the piano secretly, despite Dahyun's disapproval. He shared his love for the instrument and the joy it brought him.

"But please don't tell hyung! He gets angry when he finds out." Mina nodded and gave him his pinky finger promise.

"Dont break a promise like gahyeon noona,  she spilled our talks to him"

" Who is Gahyeon now?" Mina asked.

"Hyung's girlfriend," Jiho said finishing his plate and getting up.

Mina was shocked "Dahyun's girlfriend is sana?" she told Jiho...

"She said Sana-noona is with god so she is taking care of Hyung now, but I don't like her" Jiho said and walked to her.

"I like you noona...after I growup he jumped a little high this much, I'll make you my girlfriend,yaksook(promise) " Mina lifted him up and kissed his cheek.

That's when she heard her mobile ring. She dropped Jiho and went to attend the call.

  Phone conversation

"Hello Mina-chan ? Where are you?"

"I'm here at Dahyun's place"

"Actually can you take care of his brother and go to my place later , Dahyun won't be home today so please be with him"

"what happened jihyo-chan?"

"I can't explain to you everything on the call, please go to my place with him , my friend Jeongyeon will be there and he will take care of you and I'll join you guys as soon as possible, and explain to you everything or you can stay with his brother in his apartment but i want you to come to my place"

"You are scaring me, did something happen to Dahyun? please tell me?"

"No..No...Nothing happened to him...he is fine..just make sure you go to my place and let me know when you reach"

"Okay"

After disconnecting the call Mina thought about it a lot and Jihyo was sure nothing happened to Dahyun, might be work-related she thought, and went to Jiho, who was playing piano. it's cute the view of him playing piano..

After a while Jiho asked Mina to help him organize his room, Both took the whole day to organize both rooms and the living room.

"I'm tired noona and hungry"  Mina nodded and walked towards the kitchen

"What do you wanna eat jiho?

"Let's go out and eat noona?" He said excitedly

"Jiho, Dahyun won't be home tonight...so how about we have something outside and go to Dahyun's friend's House?"

"Where did she go?"

"She is stuck with work jiho" Mina couldn't get a better one to answer

  Mina Pov

Both reached Jihyo's house, Jeongyeon was so friendly and he is so funny that I never knew a guy who is so funny and he is so good with kids, unlike Mingyu who is literally obsessed with me Since I started my career and now he came to Korea with me, I'm Just scared what he will do if he gets to know that I'm accepting the contract and gonna stay here. When I was in my thoughts I heard loud noises and walked to the living room just to see jeongyeon and Jiho arguing over dinosaurs.

"Jeongyeon? what's happening?"

"He won't agree with me when I said Stegosaurus is incredible as its so clever and loud roars and has a long lifespan, and its unique appearance made it stand out among other dinosaurs...It's AN ICON"

"T-rex has the loudest roar and it's a hunter dino and could run really fast!  it was the king of the dinosaurs!"

"Tell me noona T-Rex is King no?" I looked confused as I watched the Jurassic world movie series but has no idea about them like these two.

"I'm not saying Stegosaurus is king but it has its uniqueness which makes it so special and..... I love them" jeongyeon reasoned

"I love T-rex, I even have a costume noona"

"Heol! I have a T-rex costume too" Jeongyeon ran to get his mobile to show the picture. while i facepalmed. Jihyo left me with two kids!

"See I have T-rex costume and I bought it during Halloween during college" Jeongyeon showed to jiho while I peeked at his picture there was Dahyun as HULK he is so cute.

"You love T-rex too hyung" Jeongyeon nodded  Jiho jumped into his arms.

" Who wants ice cream?" I asked as I ordered some.

Pov ends

Later that night, Jihyo came home, Jeongyeon was waiting for her and Mina put Jiho to sleep.

"You look exhausted" Jeongyeon hugged Jihyo.

"I'm really tired Jeong and I don't understand what will happen now"

"It's okay! She will take care of herself now. At least for her" Jihyo nodded.

"Jihyo-chan" Mina walked towards them

"Aren't you asleep? It's already late Mina" Mina looked at the door

And asked

"Dahyun? Didn't he come with you?"

Jihyo looked at Jeongyeon and turned her gaze to Mina

"Mina, Dahyun is busy right now. He can't meet you or talk to you..he will come home tomorrow"

"I know something happened to him right? You are hiding jihyo-chan, please tell me. I'm so worried about him"

Jihyo understand their bond "He is fine Mina, it's his friend who met with an accident..her name is gahyeon and he is taking care of her right now so he can't come"

Mina was relieved knowing that nothing happened to Dahyun. But something inside her gut felt bitter..she can't able to pinpoint it.

"Mina, You have the rest of the shoot schedule in Japan for a week and you need to leave tomorrow," Jihyo told as she wanted to save mina from heart break and want to give Dahyun a peace time with sana untill she knows what to do with her feelings.

"What? Japan? I thought- "

" No Mina, it's already planned like this...since Dahyun won't be there chaeyoung will be the main photographer, I'll check her schedule and my manager will let you know all the details" Mina nodded

 

"You lied" Jeong walked to Jihyo who is looking at the night sky, almost past 2

"I didn't lie, I didn't tell her the Whole truth either"

"It will be okay Jihyo just give them some time!"

" I don't know how Dahyun will handle all of this Jeongyeon"

Jeongyeon held her hand Jihyo is glad that she has Jeongyeon with her by her side now. She hugged him

"You need to rest love! It's already late, so go to sleep I'll leave now"

"Stay with me" jihyo whispered in her embrace.

 

#Flashback to few hours back

Dahyun woke up when he heard his phone ringing he looked beside him and saw Mina sleeping peacefully, he checked his mobile  it was Jihyo, he walked far from bed without disturbing Mina, and attended the call

 

"Hello? PJ? "

  "Hyunie, thank goodness you picked up. I'm sorry to wake you up, but I have some urgent news. Gahyeon, was involved in an accident last night. My manager just called She's currently admitted to the hospital, and I thought you should know."

  "W-What? Gahyeon... in an accident? Is she okay? What happened?"

  "I don't have all the details yet, I'm not sure about her current state, but I can find out for you. However, the reason I called was to inform you and ask if you could visit her at the hospital. I Will Pick You up."

  "Of course, I'll go right away. I... I can't lose another friend. I'll be there as soon as possible."

  "Just Wait hyunie, I'll Be there in like 10 Minutes."

  "Ok!"

  Dahyun quickly changed his clothes, his mind racing with worry and fear. He didn't even notice Mina stirring in bed as he left the room. The word "accident" triggered a flood of emotions, and he couldn't bear the thought of losing another friend. when he left his room he saw Jiho walking out of his room.

  "Hyung?"

  "Jiho, I'm Going out, I'll be back in an hour or so" Jiho nodded.

  Rushing out of the house Dahyun said "Lock the door Jiho"

  Dahyun saw Jihyo's car and hoped in.

 

  They both visited Gahyeon, its Minor accident and she was fine.

  "I was scared Pj," Dahyun said while coming back from Gahyeon's room.

  "I know, She is fine so don't worry!" Jihyo said

  "I'll get the car,  wait for me at the entrance" Dahyun nodded, Jihyo started walking but Dahyun halted his steps. Jihyo turned back to see, she turned her gaze to where Dahyun is looking, it was Sana's Mother at a distance. She saw only once but she remembers her, the next day after the accident, she created a whole chaos at the hospital and blamed Dahyun for that. Jihyo walked back to Dahyun and held his hand "Let's go" she dragged him.

"Why is she here?" Dahyun asked

"It's none of our business hyunie"

Dahyun looked at her few seconds and when she was about to move, he saw Momo walking towards him. The friend of Sana who doesn't like him a bit. Dahyun was not ready for any of this but he has to face them, the guilt resurfaced, He blames himself for that accident that day, he wished it should have been him instead of Sana. As she walked toward him, he remembered all those words Momo told him during their meeting.

  You don't deserve her, She is better off without you Kim Dahyun

"Finally You are here! Kim Dahyun" Momo gave a disgusting look. while Momo is about to say something jihyo instinct kicked in, She realized that Momo's words would hurt his unhealed wounds again she interrupted not wanting Dahyun to endure the pain again.

"Whoever you are! Stop...If you are thinking to hurt him with your words." Jihyo held dahyun's hand and walked away from Momo.

Momo saw them walking away "Aren't you here to see her? Anyway, You don't deserve to be here, Dahyun. Sana doesn't need you."

Dahyun stopped in his way, his heart skipped a beat at Momo's words. The mention of Sana's name left him bewildered. He had believed that Sana was no longer alive, and the pain of her loss still lingered within him.

"Sana... I thought... I thought she..." Dahyun ran to Momo and held her hand.

"what do you mean Sana Doesn't need you What's Going on momo?"

"If you are going to say Rubbish and play with him, istg i dont know what i'll do" Jihyo warned her

Momo removed Dahyun's hold on her hand and looked back from jihyo to Dahyun "Sana is alive, Dahyun. She survived the accident. We didn't want you to know the truth, we didn't want you in her life AGAIN"

Dahyun's mind spun with a mix of emotions—shock, relief, and confusion. He couldn't believe that Sana was alive all this time, and he had been carrying the weight of her loss on his shoulders.

Dahyun whispered "Sana... she's alive? I... I don't understand."

Before Momo could respond, a weak and fragile figure slowly entered the hallway. It was Sana, her legs shaky from the extended period of being in a coma and undergoing physical therapy.

"Dahyun..."

Dahyun's gaze shifted toward Sana, his eyes filled with a mix of surprise, joy, and a tinge of sadness. He struggled to find the right words as he looked at the girl he thought he had lost forever.

Dahyun teary-eyed walked towards her "Sana... I can't believe you're really here" He took Sana into his embrace. He missed this, she missed this...

Sana's voice was weak "I missed you dahyunah" Dahyun grip on her got tighter when he heard those words. Sana felt her shoulders getting wet 'he is crying'

she slowly caressed his back Smiling through her tears.

Momo watched the exchange silently, her own feelings a tumultuous mix of anger, protectiveness, and a flicker of guilt. She and Sana's mom had kept it secret, believing it was best for Sana, but seeing the impact it had on Sana stirred conflicting emotions within her.

"Let's go inside sana, you are weak," Momo said softly

They broke the hug and Dahyun helped her walk to the room. jihyo followed them.

Dahyun wasn't leaving Sana's side so Jihyo had to stay with him.

"How are you doing Jihyo " Sana asked

"I'm Good" She held Sana's hand and squeezed "Thank you for being alive"

and they fell into conversations...

"Dahyunah and Jihyo-ya I think you guys still didn't have breakfast, go and get something to eat" Sana said.

"It's Okay Sana, I don't feel hungry...I'll be here"

"I'll go and get something for you hyunie" When Jihyo was about to go

"I'll Come with you," Momo said...JIhyo didn't like her vibes but still let her join.

------

"Hyunie Lets go and get freshen up and let's get back here"

"I Don't think I'll leave her and go... I'll be here for a little more time Pj, after she wakes up and I'm so happy she is here and...she is alive" he hugged jihyo and cried.

only jihyo knows how much pain Dahyun had to endure all those three years...even tried to take his own life.

"Dahyun...What about Mina?" dahyun broke the hug.

"She is in my apartment PJ...and Jiho too, Get Mina and Jiho to your house as I might stay here tonight" Jihyo wanted to ask about something but she couldn't ruin this happy moment for her by dragging further.

"I'll take care of them, please you take care and Don't let that Momo girl get you"

dahyun nodded.
