Chapter 23.

The Heart Never Forgets

Three weeks has flew by,  how fast. 

Time has indeed passed by real quick, maybe.... because your heart yearns to see him? 

You looked around your apartment for the last time... 
"Goodbye.." You felt a lump in your throat. 

Because this goodbye is not just a farewell to the apartment. 
It is a word that starts your new journey, the one where you go back to Daehyun.. 

 

You dropped by your office first to hand in your current assignments and receive your new assignments. 

 

*knock knock* 

"Come in.. " You'll miss his firm loud voice, he has been like a mentor, a father to you. 
"Ah... Ji Yeon, " he smiled. 

"I was just thinking about you, and wondered if you'll leave without a goodbye.." he joked with a silly grin.

Your heart stop, that's... what you did two years back.. 

You gave a nervous chuckle, "How can I ever leave a great mentor like you without saying goodbye?" 

He smiled. 

He sorted through the files and firmly held one in his hand. 
"I.." He paused. 
"I'm really sorry to let such a talented journalist to leave us...although not technically.." He stared in to your eyes. 
"But it was a great offer and opportunity for the company..." 

You held his hand, "Mr Rodger, I understand where you're coming from. I don't resent you or anything, In fact.." 

Your brain questioned your heart for your next few sentences. 

"I'm.. Happy and honored to take up this project." You ended off with a smile. 


He stared at the file, he stood up. 

His hand stretch out to pass to you, "Just remember,..." He stared into your eyes. 
"If anything happens, we will always welcome you back." 

Your heart feels fuzzy, two years of running away from your problems and you found people whom you can call family. 

 

After jumping, crying and squealing with your colleagues.. You finally bade farewell. 
You looked back at the building, and said Goodbye for the thousandth time today.. 
Mission #1 completed. 

 

You walked to the nearby shopping mall. 
And into that store.. 

"Samantha! " 

That lady looked up and smile, "The usual? You're a little early though.. " 
She glanced at the calender. 
" I wasn't expecting you till a few more days. " 

Her beautiful set of pearly whites were proudly displayed as she gave you a warm smile. 

You folded your hands and chew your lower lips, 

"I'm leaving today.. " 

She gave an apologetic face and immediately walked out of the counter to give you a hug. 

"GoodLuck Darling. " she whispered into your ear. 

You gave her a tighter hug. 

"Thankyou."

You broke free the hug, and brought out your gift,

"I got this for you, think of it as an early Christmas present and.. I wrote down my contact details, let's keep in contact! " 

Mission #2 Completed. 

 

 

You walked out of that shopping mall.. for the last time, at least... for  now its the last time,
You had this funny déjà vu feeling..
It felt like.... exactly like..  two years back. 

You flagged for a taxi and went to the airport.

You glanced at your watch, you still have two hours before your flight.  
You grabbed a cup of coffee in a cafe and read through your new assignments. 

 

You almost spat out your coffee. 


 

Journalist: Baek Ji Yeon.
Assignment #1
Exclusive Interview with B.A.P. 


 

"This must be a joke, " those words rolled out of your mouth furiously. 
Why them??? 
WHY MUST IT BE THEM! 

You furiously banged your fists on the table, 

and realised you gained quite a few glares. 
You looked down apologetically. 

 

But your mind was driving crazy with the intensity of the situation. 

You... 
You are stuck with this assignment because you're the only one who can do this.. 
But that means, you'll meet them... 



Why is the hardest thing to do, the right thing to do? 

You can't back out can you? 
You.. know them so well, you could write their profile.. 
But.. 

Sighs.. 

You.. have to do this. 
You're mature now. 
You have to face it. 
You have already run away for two years.. 

You pouted.. 
You flipped open your ipad and start to research on them. 

You know them well.. but you don't know them as B.A.P well.. 


You looked through their profile.. 

" Hmm.. They debuted on 26th January..
Bang Yong Guk... Leader.. BUNNY?! Oppa.. is a bunny?? SHISHIMATO?? " 
You were laughing hard.. 
" What is that all about... " 

You scrolled down.. 
" Kim Him Chan.. Whoa.. Oppa.. you look pretty with these photos.. 
Sub-Vocalist, Rapper, Face of The Group," You read from the screen. 
" PINK BUNNY ?? Oppa.. since when do you like pink... ?? " You were grabbing your tummy and laughing hard.. 
" Tats-mat-o... Ta-ts-ma-to... " you tried to pronouce. 


You scrolled down.. .
And stopped. 

You mouth didn't move. 

Your eyes did. 

 

 

Birth Name: Jung Dae Hyun

Stage Name: Daehyun

Bunny: White. (Kekemato)

 

Nickname: Busan’s Won Bin

Position: Main Vocalist

Birth Date: June 28, 1993

Blood Type: A

Height: 177 cm

Weight: 63 kg

Hometown: Busan

 

You gulped.. 
You knew all these, except for the bunny part and his position. 
But.. why does your heart hurts so much from reading?? 
Maybe because... Now instead of you being the only one who knows him, .. 
The whole world, the whole fandom knows.. 
Does.. that makes you lose out to ... ... Babys? 
Do you mean anything to him? 
Here you are... in your own world believing he will accept you back after you have left him.. 
"You left him," you harshly reminded yourself. 

You recalled that time when you asked him, 

 

 

      "Daehyun.. "

     “Mm… “

     “Did you ever.. thought of marrying me?” you raised your eyes to stare into his.

 

      Without hesistation,”Yes. “
 

      That took you aback, Both of you definitely had thoughts of marrying each other, just.. maybe perhaps not such a firm answer,

      since you yourself cannot decide. 

 

      You fiddled with your fingers before asking again, 

      “Will you ever leave me if I look old and ugly?”

 

      "Of course not! I love you is not just for your looks. Its everything that makes up you. Are you…"
 

      "Yes. I am, " you really don’t want him to ask if you are okay.
 

      "What will you do if your fans don’t approve?"
 

     "As much as I love my fans, I love you too. I cannot decide between both of you. "
 

     "What if I want you to make a decision now?"
 

     "To choose between Babys and You?"
 

     "Mmm…"
 

     "No.. I can’t. "
 

     You were feeling childishly angry.
     But his reply meant a lot you. Or rather your mum’s words affected you a lot. 

     Daehyun stared hard at your expressionless face, he starts to get worried. 


     "Jaki... what I meant was that both of you are equally important to me.. I couldn't possibly... " 


     " No," you gave a smile, " I am fine. It was just a question. Nothing much, " the smile was glued to your face hiding the childish

     anger that was growing in you. 

 

 

 

Your heart aches again. 
What is this feeling that you're feeling....? 
Jealous? 
You're jealous of the guy whom you have left? 

Will he prefer his fans now, since they stuck through with him... 
And you, you didn't even put up a fight and you just left him to battle alone.. 
You closed your eyes and rolled your head back.. 
You accidentally hit the wall.. 

"Oww... " You groaned. 
You deserved it. 
Baek Ji Yeon, you deserve this pain you're feelng. 

You took the pen on the table and twirled it... 

You have to face this. 
The story after the chapter. 
After you have left Australia. 
After you have reached Korea. 
After you have settled down and do this interview.. 
It won't be better than now.. 

You took a sip of your coffee.. 

But you have to fight this through. 
Because it took you two years to realise.. 
That you still can't live without him.
And... 

It took you two years to understand, running away is never the solution... 

You continuing sipping your coffee, as your mind tries to understand the situation. 

Be strong Baek Ji Yeon. 

 

" Passengers boarding ...  " 

There's your calling.. 
Bye Australia.. 
Hello.. to... a stronger you. 

And a new life. 

You walked through the gates,... and never looked back. 

 

 

 

Seven hours later...

HIS POV
What a tiring day.. Honestly.. I am really tired. 
Tired has more meanings that it originally meant.. 
What can I do? 
I can't back out now.. 
Sometimes, I... 
I .. wished I ran away with her.. 
Would it be easier? 

And.. actually the fan question has never left my head.. 
What if... What if.. she comes back? 
What should I do? 

I clenched my fists.. 
My heart aches again. 
It has always ached whenever I think of her.. 

Ji Yeon ah.. 


"Hyung, we need to go in now" Zelo called out. 
I walked into the gates.. 
We're flying back to Korea from Japan.. 
Smile, Daehyun smile, you're going back home.. 
And
... 
I looked down at my feet.. 
I wonder what's the consolation for going home. 

 


2 hours later... 

HER POV

 

"Dear Passengers, This is the captain speaking.. We are now approaching Korea, Seoul, InCheon International Airport. We will  be landing in approximately thirty minutes. Please return to your seats as we are landing soon.. We thank you for choosing..... "

"Korea.. " your murmured. 
"I'm back.. " 
You're not talking to anyone in particular.

Chapter 51: Mangie is a nice sasaeng, but still a sasaeng... Though she chose the wrong person because she should be after purplegyu... I need to tell her.

Ahahah I'm not confused at all because I know who was talking with who (or more accurately I guessedit because you haven't told me anything) but it's nice not to say it now.

Ahahah maybe Dae was just hungry and he wanted to go to a late night restaurant and now his.

Chapter 50: Is it this chapter confusing people ? Case it's not really confusing. It's totally normal Jiyeon doesn't feel good enough to be revealed as Daehyun's boyfriend, when we all know how fans usually react when you tell them their biases have girlfriends. And it's a happy ending.. Well a happy ending chapter okay, but still it's fluffy and stuff and it's adorable and you just want to hug them both because they're adorable (... yeah yeah more than I am XD).

I look forward to reading the next chapters, cause right now there are some black holes I need to understand ^.^'
