Jimin's POV

Every damn night I am waiting for her, wanting to talk and fix whatever it is that's been eating here and now that we got the chance to talk about everything going on between us, she'll once leave me hanging on the thread!

I felt my eyes warmed up. But I can't let my tears fall. Not with Jay calling me.

This is just too much for me. I miss her. And I can't even chase and stop her because Jay is calling me.

I feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I've been waiting several nights for her.

First. to catch up.

Second, to talk.

And third, to patch things up.

I don't have the slightest idea why she's been avoiding me.

At first, I take it lightly. I usually talk to myself so that I can calm down, "Maybe she's really busy and wants to improve. Soeun said she really likes to practice."

But that night, when I stayed up so late to wait for her and she did not even return to any o my texts...

I can't talk myself out of it. I can't feed myself anymore lies.

Something's up and she's not telling me. She's been avoiding me for almost weeks. And now, she's not coming home.

I woke up early to check if she already arrived but to my dismay, not even a shadow of her shows up. I've been upset to find out that she's not home yet. I've been patiently waiting for her.

I stared at the clock every time.

5 am. Nothing

6 am

7 am.

8 am.

9 am. Still nothing.

10 am. Nothing.....

"Babe, C'mon you should eat.. You know I hate it when you skip a meal...."

"Uhhhhhh... I... Uhhh...."

"Don't worry too much Babe. Jaehee will come around... She's coming home too. I'll be heading now. I love you."

He ended the call without even waiting for my response, I was shocked by what he had said.

"How the hell did he..." I thought to myself.

As if reading my mind, Soeun pops out of nowhere and whispered something to me, "Jay is not blind nor deaf, Jimin.... plus, you're too damn obvious..."

"C'mon, the food will get cold that I and Jiyoon cooked. We're going to be late."

"Late? For? For what?" I asked looking confused.

"Yahhh. You're really not listening. We have a performance today at Inkigayo. And after that fan signing event and attend a concert."

"Ha? Uhhh I see. But Jaehee is still not here, what if the staff will find her? I'll just stay here and wait for her."

"No!" Soeun said and giving me the look.

I saw Soojin pat her girlfriend.

"Ah. Jimin-ah, what Soeun meant is just take Jay back to HYBE building, because what if the staff will be the first one to find you and you'll be late..."

"Yeah. JIyoon will wait for your best friend. Just go to the venue..." Soeun said defensively.

After breakfast, I dropped off Jay at his building. But my mind is still with Jaehee. I grabbed my phone and dialed her number but Jay came in, "Ready?"

"Yup. Just give me a second, babe."

"You look beautiful," he uttered while making her way to me and kissed my forehead as I was busy fixing my hair.

"You're not bad yourself" I laughed, "Come one, we'll be late."

I was about to enter the car when Jay stopped me and cling to my hips, "Hmm? Why? Come one, we'll be late." I said.

"Aren't you going to wait for Jaehee-yah?"

"Nope, let's go. She's going there with Jiyoon."

"You sure? I can call Heesung hyung so that you can wait for Jaehee. Looks like you two have a lot to talk about."

I felt guilty. Soeun is right. Jay is not deaf nor blind.

I rested my head on the crook of her neck, "No babe. We can talk later after the concert is done. And I want to be with you."

I can feel her smiling. We're like that for the minutes, I miss being clingy to Jongseong. Lately, I've been waiting for Jaehee that I am forgetting that I have responsibilities with him because I'm in a relationship with him.

He leaned in and closed our gap with a sweet, quick kiss.

......................................

The filming was about to start, but Jiyoon and Jaehee are nowhere to be found. I was checking my phone if there's a text coming from her or Jiyoon. I tried calling her again. Her phone is ringing.

"Are they coming already?" Jay brought me back to reality while I'm talking to him through the phone

"Huh? They're not answering. But I guess they're on their way."

"Don't worry too much, unnie. It's okay. You and Jaehee will fix this."

I felt guiltier than ever. Jay's taking a hint.

I thought to myself that I will give Jay my attention. I don't want to give him ideas. I don't want him to think that something's happening to me and Jaehee.

I know that Jongseong is an understanding person when it comes to me and Jaehee, but I also know that every person has their limits and I don't want to over-limit them.

But the moment that I laid my eyes on Jaehee. I can't control myself.

I can feel all the emotions. From stress caused by missing her to a full rage of anger because she didn't even talk or showed herself to me these past few weeks.

I was staring at her, trying my best to calm myself down while she's fixing her outfit for the performance. I stood up and grabbed her hand, "Jaehee we need to talk! Excuse us guys."

"Uhhh. Can we just finish our schedule first unnie? We can talk later. Don't make a scene." she whispered then gestured for me to look around.

I look around then I saw Jay expressionless. through the phone. I forgot about him again. I know that he hates these kinds of scenes so I refrained myself.

After our filming. We were going back to the room that we are assigned and Jay ended the call to do something.

I took it as an opportunity to talk to Jaehee, "Where have you been?!" A hint of anger trailed my voice.

"Uhhh. Out." She answered sounding so innocent.

"Who are you with?!"

"F...friends..." She gave me her sweet smile.

"Friends? No calls. No texts!!! How many days have you been doing this to me, huh?! What's the problem?!"

"Unnie. Can you let this one pass?"

Then Jay texted me, if he didn't come back in time, all hell will break loose because I am so mad at her at the moment.

"Calm down. You guys can talk later. Don't let your anger take you."

And the guilt feeling again came knocking in my head, "What are you doing, Jongseong-ah? Stop this! Don't make me feel guiltier." I thought again to myself.

After the show, we went to a concert that we had to split up so that the other people won't notice us quickly. 

I tried to focus on the concert, but I can't help myself from stealing a glance at Jaehee.

She's eyeing someone. I tried to find out who. But I can't assume who, but all smiled was on her face.

After the concert, we're now backstage. Then we were all shocked when someone called Jaehee, "Lee Jaehee, I have your car keys. If you want it, just go to our dressin
