Jimin saw Myeong Jo leaving with Jungkook from the window. A wave of relief washed over him. Finally, she was gone. A mistake was out of his life. Even though he told himself this, he wasn’t feeling good. He paced around his room in circles, feeling restless. He couldn't understand why he was so anxious about her. The girl who had betrayed him was finally leaving, and he should be happy about it. Instead, it felt like he was losing a piece of his heart.

His gaze fell on the table where Jungkook had placed a letter, claiming that it was written for him. The letter had been sitting there for some time, as he hadn't felt the need to read it. But at that moment, he felt an overwhelming urge to read it, hoping for something valuable that might calm him down.

Taking the letter, he sat on the bed and began to read it.

“Dear Jimin,

I don’t know if I can explain everything. I have cried so many times and also laughed because of you. I have shared many moments with you, moments that will remain in my heart forever. And I will not deny that it hurts, because a part of me is still where you are. But I am also aware that things have changed and I will not continue to force myself to be with you.

You are exactly what I dreamt of every day of my life. I want to thank you for everything you did for me. Every time you loved me with your words, your caresses and your kisses, you made me the woman I am today.

You made me believe in love. Something I never experienced in my sorrowful life. I know I have snatched away the most invaluable person from your life. But I want you to know it wasn’t my intention. I didn’t know anything when I wished upon that comet. If I could, I would lay down my life to bring back your wife.

I know I made a selfish wish when I should've just died. I know I shouldn’t have kept this a secret. I have caused you too much sadness and stood as a mistake in your eyes. I have become a criminal. The truth is, I feel like I deserve it because I hurt you and that is not what I ever wanted. I always wanted you to be happy and maybe a little bit of me wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. I wish you could see everything from my point of view and maybe that way, it would be easier for you to forgive me.

It hurts me that even after all these months, you are still not mine. And I am still not yours. Then I remembered I was never yours to begin with. 149 days don’t matter at all. So I am leaving with this acceptance that I was never your wife and you were never my cutie, sexy, lovely Jimin.

I want you to know that I have never been loved as you did or loved someone as much as you, and will continue to do so beyond death, because now that ours has to end, a part of me dies. I know for sure when I'll go back, I will never be able to smile again. Because my smile will remind me of your cute eye smile. I will never be able to laugh because the sound of my laugh will be incomplete without yours. I will never be able to promise because I have broken all the promises I made to you. Maybe this is what I deserve for doing the biggest mistake of my life. That I loved you like crazy.

But I do not regret completely living with you. Because even if for 149 days, you showed me that I can smile, I can fight, I can be strong, I can be happy and I can love. Yes, I regret losing you but I'm also glad that I found a precious human like you. And I know you will only keep hating me, being mad at me, cursing yourself for thinking of me as your wife, forgetting me, I will still love you.

In this farewell, I wish you all the happiness in the world and find the love and happiness you deserve. I will continue here and live with your memory.  It hurts me you didn’t even want to see me one last time. I'm so very sorry, Jimin. I wish I never made that wish, I wish I never took your wife's place, I wish I never hurt you. I'm beyond sorry for everything. Please just try to forget me and hate me all you want.

Goodbye, Park Jimin. Be happy and stay well. I am sorry. Hope you can understand me and your kind heart can forgive me.

I'm leaving you this letter and my little request to see you right now. I wish I could hug you one last time.

I know it's not in my place to say this, but I love you. I'm sorry that I love you.

Your Selfish, Cruel & Most Horrible Girl,

Min Myeong Jo.”

The single light paper that contained her last words flew away from his hands. His heart released every part of hate, anger and grudge against her. Instead, it got filled with guilt and sadness. Tears rolled down from his eyes.

Jimin realized he had made a grave mistake. He caused harm to a girl who only sought his love, who valued him more than her own life. He slapped the same girl to whom he had promised to love unconditionally. He attempted to kill the same girl who was willing to die for him. He held her responsible for something that wasn't her fault. He pushed her out of his heart instead of embracing her for loving him.

And he didn’t know anything. He stood up and ran towards the cliff. He already lost his real wife and he almost lost this girl twice. If he lost her this time, he would never be able to forgive himself.

If he knew he would see her there for the last time, he would have never let her go in the first place.

❍❍❍❖☄️❖❍❍❍

Myeong Jo woke up and the first thing she felt was her heartbeat. She didn't feel weak; she felt just as strong as before. She discovered that she was lying on her back, with the boundless night sky and the moon in front of her. As she sat up, she realized she was back on the same cliff. She was back.

Her eyes were heavy from crying. A pang of pain rushed to her head, reminding her of the last memory of Jimin. She didn’t let herself be damaged by that memory. She had to move on. It seemed like she recognized the path, so she decided to follow it.

That led her to the city. Her hometown. Everything was the same. The giant poster of the upcoming M-Count Down comeback of Twice was still there. The old man who used to sell groceries at the back of the restaurant was still there. She even found the cafe she used to work at. She must've been fired for being absent.

But something was different. Her photo was everywhere.

She came close to the wall of a shopping mall and there were her pictures hanging. It spelled “Missing.”

Did Yoongi do all these? Was she missing here all this time?

She went back to the apartment she used to live. She lost her way twice trying to remember the location of her place but she eventually remembered it. She stood in front of the door and took a deep breath before entering the passcode.

She opened the door and the whole place was dark and it felt empty. Suddenly she wondered if her brother would actually want her back now. She made a mess about him having a girlfriend and not telling her before she left. She was a burden to him before. Would he want her back after five months?

She hesitated. Then she decided to at least see him one last time. Then she could leave him alone and try to find her source of life. He had taken care of her as best as he could, and now he should look after himself. With that thought, she entered inside and switched on the lights.

An unexpected scene she saw! There were hundreds of poster of her picture that said Missing in the living room. All of them were on the floor here and there. And on the brown small couch, there he was sleeping again. And most importantly, he was hugging her doll. Yeah a stuffed kitten was her only doll in her 23 years. She used to hug it to sleep. And now Yoongi was on the couch; his hair was messed up; not to mention his clothes. They looked like he's been wearing them since last week. Her missing posters were everywhere on the floor.

It broke her heart. Her brother was trying to find her. He needed her.

She held onto her sobs and walked towards the couch. She knelt on the floor. When she gazed at his face closely, she saw bags under his eyes and light stains on his cheeks. He must've suffered too.

She held his hand and shook it. He didn’t wake up. She shook his hand with a bit more force and then he shot open his eyes. Only to widen it and stare at her.

Myeong Jo at first couldn’t find the courage to speak. She opened her mouth and closed it again. She missed him. She missed him so much. But what was she supposed to say?

Yoongi's gaze locked onto her with an expression of utter shock and disbelief, his unblinking eyes conveying the depth of his emotions.

“Oppa, I am back...”

Unexpectedly, he smiled a little. That made her confused. He kept chuckling and sat upright. His chuckles turned into laughs. Laughs of disbelief.

“I must be crazy.”

She didn’t understand.

“You're here in front of me. It's like a dream, you know? The moment I wake up, you'll be gone by then.”

He must be thinking she was in his dreams. Before she could correct him, he mumbled, “My little sister is missing. It's been 5 months already and I still don't know where she is.

“The last thing I said to her was that she was a load to me. I yelled at her saying no one will value her or love her ever. I hurt her a lot.” He sounded so sad.

“My sister......always tries to smile. I know how hard life is for her...she needed love. I couldn’t take care of her. Right now she should be seeing men and partying with her friends. She should buy tons of dresses and make ups or whatever.....she should live freely and happily like others..... While my Myeong Jo is only working here and there just to feed us. To pay back the huge debt.....to live for the next day....”

Then Yoongi started crying. This was one of the few times she saw him cry. He was always strong. His will power was determined. But he was actually crying, that too for her.

“Why did she run away? She knew I was angry. I-I had no idea what I was saying. She is my flower. If not for her, I wouldn’t live to this day. I just want to say sorry. I never should've yelled at my precious sister. I'm so sorry, Myeong Jo. Please come back. I'll be a good brother from now on.”

Seeing him like this, Myeong Jo shed the rest of the tears of her heart. Her brother missed her so much. While she was having a happy time, he was suffering. He was looking for her and never gave up.

She sat on the couch beside him and held his hand.“Oppa, I'm real. Look! I'm here.”

Yoongi looked at her while sobbing. At first, he didn’t understand. Then when he saw her holding his hand, he realized this couldn’t be a dream. Dreams break when someone touches you. And it didn’t break.

He held her face with one hand and observed every part of her face. “M-Myeong Jo? You came back?”

She smiled through her tears and answered, “Yes, I came back to you.”

He cried again and like always; like how he always did for the last 23 years, he hugged her. This time he held her very tightly. Myeong Jo bursted into tears and cried on his shoulder. He patted her head. The siblings spent some time crying between themselves and comforted each other.

After the situation cooled down, both of them stopped crying and began to chuckle.

“Where did you go, huh? I was so worried!” he checked her whole body to see if there were any bruises. Of course, there was. She was hiding the red stains on her neck.

Suddenly, Jimin's face flashed in front of her. Her heart ached with mixed emotions and it showed on her face.

Yoongi noticed her change. “What? Did something bad happen? Where were you?”

She smiled, gritting her teeth. “You'll never imagine where I was all these months.”
