She wiped the stray tears that fell on her cheek. She has decided, but she still needs to talk to Jaehee first.

Jimin doesn't want to just avoid Jaehee. Not like what Jaehee did back then. She knew it'll be unfair to give Jaehee a cold shoulder when Jaehee didn't have an inkling of what she'd done. And the fact that Jaehee didn't do anything wrong makes her guiltier. Jimin knows she herself has a problem.

She really wants to ask Jay if she saw Jaehee but she knows that she couldn't. Because she doesn't want to give Jay more reasons to be jealous. She doesn't want to give the idea that despite Jay sitting beside her, Jaehee is still on her mind.

When her boyfriend is taking a bath, Jimin went out of the room to look for her friend. She found herself in front of Soojin and Jiyoon's room.

She doesn't want to think that Jaehee slept in their room, especially beside Jiyoon. But she knows that there's no other place she will go.

At first, she tried to just peak, she places her ear on Jiyoon's door trying to hear if there is a person inside, but she was caught when someone suddenly opened the door.

"Oh, Jimin-ah, what are you doing here? Do you need something?"

"Ha? Ahh is J-Jaehee here?" She asked, embarrassed because she was caught.

"She's not here, wait, why are you looking for her here? Isn't she in your room?"

"I just thought she slept here."

"None. Hmmmm. How about the other room?"

"No. She doesn't want to sleep in the other rooms."

"Haha, are you joking Jimin? Why would she sleep here? If she doesn't want to sleep in the other's room?"

"Because I... I thought you two are so close and uhm.."

"No. No, she didn't spend the night here Jimin."

She was about to turn around and get back to her room feeling embarrassed and disappointed because Jaehee isn't at Jiyoon's room when Jiyoon talked.

"After I confessed about my feelings for her, we don't talk that much anymore, Jimin. So there's really no reason for you to look for her to me."

She was shocked about what Jiyoon had said. She didn't expect that she confessed her feelings to her friend but Jaehee didn't even tell her about this.

She can't blame Jiyoon because it's not that hard to love Jaehee. Almost all of her traits are beautiful, there's no ugly in those. If she has flaws you will still love her because Jaehee feels good wearing all her flaws on her sleeve, she's a smiling a walking mess.

"She admitted her feeling for Jaehee? What did Jaehee say? Since when? How did Jaehee respond? Ugh! Why would I care? So what now Jimin! Why so affected?! Do you love Jaeheetoo? Huh, Jimin?" She alter ego asked.

She tried to shake her head off from the thought.

She focused on Jiyoon.

She's not stupid to not notice that there is a hint of pain and sadness coming from Jiyoon's voice. She saw how the two got closer, and she knew how she got jealous because she thought she's slowly been replacing by Jiyoon.

She knows that if that happened to her, she will get hurt too.

"Are you okay?" She asked by chance to make Jiyoon feel a bit better.

"I'm okay, Jimin. Maybe it's just like that. But it's okay."

"I didn't mean to pry but what did Jaehee say when you confessed?"

She couldn't help but ask because she wants to know the reaction of Jaehee when she knew about this.

"None. I'm not really expecting something from her, Jimin. Admitting my feelings for her was hard for both of us. Harder for me to know that she's in love with someone else. But I choose this path. No one should take the blame but me."

Those words that came officially from Jiyoon's mouth struck Jimin. She wants to console Jiyoon but she didn't, as she felt a sudden jolt of pain knowing that Jaehee is 'in love with someone.

......

The day went on.

During their practice, Soojin is getting angry at her for losing focus because they really want to rest. The one that Jiyoon had said is still stuck in her mind. And she's still thinking about Jay. She knows they're okay now but she's somehow feeling that Jay is a bit different.

She wants to go to Soeun and ask if she knows where Jaehee is but she couldn't do it because for some unknown reason as much as she's itching to ask everyone about Jaehee's whereabouts.

When she asked permission to leave now she saw Soeun is just near her, she was about to go and ask her, Jay called her. Without having it with the 2nd ring, she answered immediately.

"Hey babe, do you have plans for tonight?"

"huh? Nothing really. I'm tired. Practice is done, I'm just going home."

They bid each other goodbyes and ended the call.

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

When she got home she was greeted by the girl who always delivers their laundry, their clothes for the week. She just dragged it inside their dorm then choose only the laundry bag of hers and Jaehee's and carried it up to their room.

She decided to sort her clothes including Jaehee's

She's halfway through folding the clothes when an unfamiliar shirt caught her eyes. She had practically memorized Jaehee's shirts and the shirt is new to her eyes. She grabbed it. It is a black shirt with a baseball shirt in the front and Ahn Yujin at the back.

"Wow.." That's all she could utter.

She lost some interest to sort out Jaehee's clothes so she m
