Dahyun's POV 

Dahyun's POV

I was walking with my members to our room. While the members are being so loud, I just stayed quiet at the back, reminiscing. I love to reminisce, nowadays. But it is sad and full of lessons and reminiscing.

" Are you alright, Dahyun? " I was startled when Jihyo touched my face and waved her hand in front of my eyes. I nervously laughed and touched her hand. 

" Yeah, I'm fine. Hm, if you could please excuse me for a little while. I need some fresh air. " I quicken my space to the opposite ways. 

When I am all alone now, I took a deep breath. I closed my eyes and hung my head low. Clearly, something is bothering me. It's suffocating. Everything was messed up even though nothing was messed up. Without me realizing it, the loneliness started to fill me up and it grew even bigger. I know my life is filled with my fans, my members, and...

Argh! Since when I am being so ungrateful? I am desperate to fill that spot in my heart but no one has ever since...

Park Jimin.

Of course, it is Park Jimin. The other half of me.

It's been almost 4 years since we broke up. Time flies so fast, I guess? But for sure, the love remains, stubbornly. It's funny, how can I never forget him? I can never forget the taste of his lips dancing on my lips.

It's not like I can't forget about him and try to move on but, I don't know. I honestly don't have an answer for that. I've been seeking some advice from someone who has gone through a breakup but none of them are working for me.

Just what spell you put on me, Park Jimin?

I sighed heavily and entered a convenience store to purchase a drink and a cup of ramen. The spiciest ramen in the store. People say if you are having a hard time, try to eat spicy food. The burden will melt away.

What a liar. The problems are still flying in my thoughts but I guess it's a habit for me now to eat spicy food when I am stressed. " Eating ramen, especially the spiciest ramen is not good for your health, Kim Dahyun-ssi. "

I was going to make a payment then suddenly this boy at the cashier smiled at me. He is wearing work clothes and I squinted my eyes. How did he know my name? " Pardon me for asking, but who are you? "

I asked.

" Oh, is that how an idol 'greets' their fans back? I'm offended. " He laughed and took the items from my arms and started to scan them. Is he one of my fans? If he is, I should have just smiled back and ignored him. 

" That would be 8,000 won. But I think I must remind you again that spicy is not good for girls. " I squint my eyes at him again, and I folded my arms. 

" So, is ramen only good for men? " I asked him, sarcastically whispering so that only he can listen. 

" I never said ramen is good for men. It's... It's just that. Huh. What I was trying to say is you always eat the spiciest ramen so it is not good for you. Especially your image as an idol. " 

Always? So he did notice that I am a regular customer at his convenience store. He also noticed that I am an idol. I look at the name on his shirt. 

Jeon Ha Jun. 

" Listen here, Jeon Ha Jun-ssi, I am thankful that you are concerned about my health but this is how I cope with my stress. " I handed him the money and look at him in the eyes. 

" Oh, well. There must be other ways besides this. " He said and I just shrugged my shoulder. " How? What's the other way? " Before he could answer, a man behind me interrupted our conversation. 

" Excuse me, you're holding the line. Please, make it fast. "I turned back and gasped when there is lots of customers behind me. 

Great, Kim Dahyun. You just ruined your image thanks to this unfamiliar new worker guy. " Sorry for holding the line. " I quickly gather my things and exit the store without getting my balance. 

After a while of getting the fresh air, I headed to my dorm with my hand tucked in my fur jacket. It's snowing and cold in December. When I reach the dorm, I saw an unfamiliar figure sitting on the bench looking so cold. 

" Who is that? I never saw him before. " I asked myself, feeling a bit eerie because he is an unfamiliar guy. 

" Annyeonghaseyo, Dahyun sunbaenim. " Yeji, suddenly appeared in my sight and I almost shout.

" Oh Yeji-ssi, you almost give me a heart attack. "

" Oh no, I am so sorry, I didn't mean to surprise you, sorry sunbaenim. " I smiled, gesturing to her that it is okay. 

" Where are you going? " I asked, noticing that Yeji is so well dressed up but before she could answer someone calls her name making both of us turned to that way.

I stood frozen. I stop breathing but my heart works harder to make sure that I'll not faint. What is he doing here? What is Park Jimin doing here? 

You know what, hearing that Jimin called Yeji is just bothering me completely. Great. Before I could ask them, someone shouted my name. 

" Kim Dahyun ssi. You forgot to take your balance! " 

Suddenly, the air was so tense between all of us.
