"So Jimin, you have been on the scene for some time now we remember when you were just starting out, how cute you were you've matured a lot haven't you?" A female MC asked as she beamed at the now 22 year old Jimin who sat across from her

"It has been a few years hasn't it?" Jimin smiled in response

"And you're popularity has only increased at a rapid pace" another mc added excitedly 

Jimin bowed slightly to show his thanks

"Jimin, it's time for that question~" The same mc teased "Have you had a girlfriend since debuting?"

Jimin laughed and shook his head "in all honestly i haven't"

"Really? Not even since your dating contract ended last year?" The female mc asked completely unconvinced

"I swear, i haven't" Jimin laughed holding up his hands in defeat

"We've seen you with, girls generation members Sunny and Sooyoung, is there nothing going on there?" The female asked 

"Sunny Noona has been good friends with me since far before i debuted, Sooyoung Noona and i use to go to the same high school so when i do see her i like to talk about those times and remember the memories fondly" Jimin replied

The two mc's nodded understandingly "Do you have an ideal type?" one asked 

Jimin let out a little laugh "doesn't everyone"

"Describe you're perfect girl to us" The female said overly excited "..for the female fans of course" she added quickly

"My ideal type.. hmm where to begin" Jimin smiled trying to imagine her

"Long brunette hair"

"oh neh~"

"Shorter then me"

"keep going"

"Doe like eyes"

"mm hmm"

"Has an interest for things most people wouldn't be interested it, i like someone whos unique and different from others, and stands out in a crowd"

"That sounds.. very hard to find' The male laughed awkwardly 

"I guess you could say that" Jimin replied remembering the 17 year old girl he loved.

"Well i hope you an find a girl just like that Jimin-ah~" The female beamed

"Can i let you in on a little secret?" Jimin whispered 

"Neh~ Of course!" They both leaned in closer to Jimin 

"I already found her"



Hara was no longer the 17 year old she was. Now 21 and in her third and final year of university. She long hair no longer long, now cut into a messy bob it made her look her age, and more people seemed to take her seriously. The years in New York had changed the way she dressed, she no longer dressed cute and young, her style had changed to smart and business like. She looked nothing like what she did four years ago.

She had surpassed a whole year of university since she showed such promise at a young age. She (without tell her mother) had switched majors and was now completely focusing on becoming an astrophysicist as she always wanted. After her final year she already had an internship with NASA planned and was looking forward to ending her schooling once and for all. 

She dreaded telling her mother once she got home later today, since summer break was coming up and she decided that going home would be a good idea. Though she thought that she would grow to regret those thoughts 


Today was a rare day that she would see her brother, since there paths had both crossed and Himchan was heading home as well. She walked silently to there little cafe where (when they had the chance) they had been meeting for the past four years.

Himchan sat quietly sipping his tea, drawing a lot of attention to himself by the way he looked and dressed, most female customers were completely stunned by him, even though he hadn't looked at a single one of them. Hara entered the cafe and quickly ran over to him, Himchan stood up and hugged her tightly, Hara gained many envious stares from around the small shop.

"We look the same how can they think you're my boyfriend?" Hara muttered as one women locked eyes with her

"I don't want to talk about this because the thought of dating you makes me want to vomit" Himchan muttered back letting go 

"Anyway, Oppa how have you been?" Hara asked cheerily 

"Good good, i'm sick of training. I'm so glad that i have next year off" Himchan smiled as he stretched and sat down 

"a whole year? isn't that a bit ... much?" Hara asked tilting her head

"Nah my ankles been playing up again, i told them it was a good idea and my place has been reserved for me, so it's nothing to worry about. I'll be helping Eomma and Appa out at the company in the mean while"

"aaaah" Hara replied with a understand nod

"Anyway, you ready to face Eomma, and tell her you switched majors?"

"Nope, not at all" Hara laughed 

Himchan smirked at his little sister "Every time i see you, you change a little bit more"

"Is that so?" Hara laughed playing with her incredibly short hair 

"it's nice though" Himchan said quickly in fear he might have insulted her

"You ready to face Jin ah? You've been hiding away from her for a few years" Hara slyly said as she stole a sip of Himchan's tea

"You ready to face Jimin?" Himchan shot back just as calmly

Hara frowned at him "who said i would see Jimin?"

"Who said i would see Jin Ah?"

'aaah, the Kim siblings, too good at avoiding our problems" Himchan laughed pulling his mug back over to him 

"Jimin is no longer a problem, he was an issue and it was solved years ago, that's all there is to it" Hara said playing with her nails

Himchan rolled his eyes "How's Jin then?" he asked changing the topic 

"he's good, just busy as always, you should know anyway he's your best friend" 

Himchan frowned "I was expecting a different answer" 

"huh why?"

"I was expecting something along the lines of 

"Oh Jin Oppa, is so good, he's so clever and handsome and smart and he's doing so well~ i am so so so proud to be his girlfriend~" Himchan mocked Hara's voice and pulled his over the top aegyo out of nowhere to demonstrate how she should have reacted to his question

"Not everyones relationship is like that, we're not teenagers anymore" Hara replied coldly 

"Forgive me if i'm wrong, but isn't love suppose to make you feel giddy and like a teenager? Isn't that what love does to you, makes you feel forever young?"

"Not all love is like that"

Himchan raised an eyebrow at his sister "If it's not like that then is it really love?"

"Everyone is different" Hara defended

"I don't get you" Himchan said standing up for a refill 

"What do you mean?" Hara called after him 

Himchan ignored her, as he went to the front counter. Hara stared at him, he had no right to talk about her relationship like that, he shouldnt be giving anyone relationship advice when his relationship with Minah, was purely based off physical appearance, he didn't even love her! 
Then it hit her, Himchan did know what he was talking about, being in a relationship first hand where neither of the two loved each other, he would easily be able to see that Hara and Jin's relationship wasn't one based off of love but purely built up because of the convenience for the two of them. 

Himchan made his way back to the table with two cups of tea and slid it to Hara. He blinked at her slowly 

"You get what i mean now?" he asked watching her carefully 

Hara nodded taking her cup "but i can't break up with him"

"You know that you're hurting him more by doing this, right?"

Hara fell silent and held the warm mug in her hands. Himchan didn't say anything else either, he wanted to Hara to think about what she should do. 

"we better get going to the airport soon" Himchan said finally breaking the silence

Hara nodded and stood up, Himchan left some money under his tea mug and the two left together.

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
