"Hara? Did you hear me?" Jin asked still holding her hand

"How long?" Hara asked quietly

"Since we were kids"

"Why are you telling me now?" 

"Because i thought that you should know" Jin let go of Hara's hand and pushed her fringe away from her face

"But you've had lots of girlfriends"

"I know"

"Then?"

"Hara" Jin sighed pushing a finger to her lips "I dated people but i've always loved you"

"I don't get it" Hara said shaking her head, She held Jin's hand and pulled it away from her face "If you liked me you should have told me"

"Hara do you really think it's that simple? To just go up to someone and tell them you love them, I worked up a lot of courage to tell you this" 

Hara dropped Jin's hand and held her face in thought 

"Have you ever felt anything for me? Anything at all?" Jin asked dipping his head in hopes of seeing Hara's eyes

"I'm not sure" she muttered

Jin looked at his watch on his wrist "did you say you had to be somewhere at six?"

"neh"

"It's 5.50 so i'll drop you off to where you need to go"

"I....i need to make a call" Hara said standing up quickly and walking towards Jin's car 

"Jimin? Jimin please pick up" Hara sniffed holding onto her phone shakily "jimin please, please" she whispered 

"Yeoboseyo~ This is Jimin-ah~ Leave me a message because obviously i'm busy doing other stuff. Saranghaeeeeeeeeee"

"dammit Jimin" Hara clenched her phone in anger 

Jin was watching Hara intently, she looked flustered and scared the way she was holding her phone it looked like she was trying to call the cops. Jin rubbed the back of his neck and walked over to her slowly 

"Hara" he called, she spun around quickly with doe eyes 

"Come on, i'll take you where you want to go" 

 


 

Jimin was walking happily down the street with his headphones in. He was trying to look on the bright side, first off he got to see Hara, second he got to spend time with Hara, thirdly he wanted her to listen to a song that he'd been liking recently.

He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket "yeoboseyo~" he sang 

"Jimin?"

"Hara~" 

"Where am i meeting you?"

"hmmmmm, where do you want to meet me?" he asked with a laugh

There was a silence over the phone "Hara?"

"Where am i meeting you?" she repeated 

"... meet me by the train station" Jimin replied his smile falling 

"Alright bye" 

Jimin heard the beeping in his ear and and stuffed his phone in his pocket. 

Is she mad at me? Did i do something wrong? She knows i was just teasing her Jimin kept walking forward, staring at the ground in thought.

 


 

Jin pulled up outside the train station. Him and Hara hadn't talked since they left Han River. 

"You don't need to tell me your answer any time soon" 

Hara looked at Jin with a blank expression

"Tell me when you're ready"

Hara gave him a simple nod "Thank you for the ride" said opening the car door and getting out. 

Jimin arrived at the train station to see Hara get out of a car and walk over to a quiet spot. Jimin skipped over and smile at her widely 

"Anyohaseyo~" Jimin smiled waving his hands in Haras face

"oh, hello" Hara smiled weakly

"I have something exciting to show you" Jimin smiled taking her hands "we have to get on the train though" 

"oh uh okay" Hara slightly smiled, Jimin raised an eyebrow at her but decided not to press further 

Jimin passed Hara and headphone as they sat on the train together. Hara examined it and then put it in her ear 

"Yah Hara, i think you'll like this song" Jimin smiled patting her head softly. Hara gave him a genuine smile and moved closer to him taking his hand in hers and she rested her head on his shoulder. She wanted to tell him about what happened with Jin but she didn't want to ruin the peace and happiness that she felt with Jimin on the train. 


 

Jimin covered Hara's eyes as the walked off the train 

"I don't know why i'm covering your eyes, it's dark enough as it is" Jimin laughed 

"where are you taking me that required us to travel three hours?" Hara asked holding onto his arms for support 

After walking for what felt like forever, Hara could hear the sound of crashing waves. She pulled Jimins hands away from her eyes and looked in front of her to see Gwangalli Beach.

"Why did you bring me here?" Hara asked spinning around to look at Jimin

"It's one of my favourite places and i wanted to tell you something kinda big" he laughed hugging her tightly 

"oh?"

Jimin kissed the top of her head and then let her go. Hara walked off towards the water. Jimin sat down on the sand, Hara ran back to him and sat down.

"What did you want to talk about?" Hara asked

Jimin pulled her hood over her head and laughed "yeah, it's good and bad news i guess"

"well tell me" she replied pushing her hair out of her face, to little success as the wind blew it all back in her eyes

"Okay well, my company told me that i'm going to debut in a few months" 

"REALLY?! THAT'S SO GREAT WOW CONGRATULATIONS" Hara yelled throwing her arms in the air 

Jimin laughed at her reaction

"Thank you, thank you" Jimin smiled wrapping an arm around her waist

"You brought me all this way to tell me this though? Why couldn't you tell me in Seoul?"

"Why not here, it's beautiful and calm and quiet" 

Hara nodded in agreement "that's true, bad news?" 

"Oh" Jimin sighed taking his arm back from around her 

"I had to sign a dating contract"

Hara felt like she was being stabbed in the chest "dating contract?" 

"I can't date anyone while i debut, at least for a year" 

"It's a... good thing we're not dating then isn't it?" Hara laughed awkwardly pulling her legs up to her chest 

"Hara"

"It's fine, if it means fufilling your dream, then theres nothing else you can do right?" Hara smiled 

"Hara, the lady she gave me ways to get around the dating ban, but i wanted to run it by you first if you wanted to try and make this work" Jimin shifted awkwardly as he spoke 

"Jimin, i think that maybe you should just be single"

"what?"

"I wouldn't feel right putting you in danger of getting your contract terminated"

"But"

"This is something you've been working for, for so long and i believe it's a good idea to just stick to the rules"

Jimin sighed and rubbed his face "I knew you'd say something like this, i was just hoping you wouldn't"

Hara moved closer to him and held his hand tightly "when do you start preparing for your debut?"

"Next Week"

"Will you be coming to school still?"

"No, i'll have to do something along the lines of home schooling" 

"i see"

"This might be the last time we can really hang out"

Hara nodded in understanding "so, we'll just become strangers?" Hara sniffed wiping her eyes quickly 

"don't say it like that" Jimin laughed standing up, pulling Hara as he did 

"We're not gonna be strangers, text me, call me, anything, come visit" Jimin smiled spinning her around "send me constellations, please i still want to find them all"

"But there's no point to it anymore" 

"yes there is" Jimin smiled warmly 

"There's always a point to something and there's alway a reason for something, just because the circumstances have changed doesn't make it any less important"

Chapter 49: It feels like so long ago but it was, as I mentioned before, 2 or 3 hours ago when I started this fic. I caught that reference to the beginning of the story with Tiffany and Himchan saying "Don't vomit on my shoes." Thank you Author-nim for creating this wonderful piece of literature. I love you~ <3

Chapter 48: Wow! That was really good!!!

But the ending was a tad disappointing, I was expecting of something grand and "damn, that was not what I expected" or something like that ^^

Nevertheless, the story is very good!!

Great job authornim :D :D
