Jinyoung's POV

I wish things were different. I wondered how it would have been if I had met her earlier. Those were the thoughts running in my head as I sat in the recording studio, trying to finish writing my new song. Even though I tried my best, I couldn't seem to get her out of my head. I had never really cared about anyone this much after my sister passed away. I always felt so empty, alive but already dead inside. And yet, here I was, my heart longing for someone I could never acquire.

Fate can be cruel sometimes. But there was nothing I could do about it. My eyes were fixed on the music sheet but my mind was somewhere else. I cast aside the work, rubbing my forehead with the palm of my hand and leaning my head against the recliner. Whenever I closed my eyes, the memories of a few nights ago came crashing through. I knew that I gave in to a moment of selfishness and kissed her but strangely, I didn't regret it at all. We didn't talk about it after that nor did our .. I don't know what exactly to call our relationship at this point, but nothing changed and I was sort of relieved. As much as I wanted her, I was more afraid of losing her completely than the desire for her to be mine.

But that didn't alter the fact that I detested Jackson for what he was doing to her. I didn't know what his deal was but I hate seeing her hurt. I feel like there was so much more to it but I didn't know where to start to find out the truth. All I ever want is to see her happy and I wish I could make her realise what an amazing person she really is. But that guy had already damaged her so much that it would probably be difficult for her to trust again.

I stared at my reflection on the window, seeing much more than just the mere outline of my appearance. If I look at myself now and five years ago, I had changed a lot since I met her, I see more life in those eyes now, a light which had been previously dimmed after seeing all I had. If I could find happiness and hope again, I know that I could make her see that too. I'd do anything to help fix her broken soul, no matter how long it took.

I looked at my watch,realising it was already time to go pick her up from class. I smiled, my heart already filled with excitement at the thought of seeing her. Snatching up the keys from the table, I made my way to the parking lot in the basement floor. It had been quite a while since I first met her, but my heart still beats so fast whenever I was with her. It may also be hard for me to show it but she made me really happy, she made me look forward to every single day, as corny as that may sound. And I wasn't one for corny.

A few minutes later, I was standing outside the university entrance, hands in my pocket as I waited for her. The clock struck 4, and students started piling up the corridors. A few of them stared my way, but I ignored them, craning my neck, looking for her.

'Hey Jinyoung. What brings you here?' Three girls approached me, two, I recognised, were trainees from the same company as I was. I noticed, they were being unusually weird as one tried to curl her fingers around her strand of blonde hair while the other kept sending me a secretive smile. I rolled my eyes, not wanting to deal with them, and kept quiet as I continued searching for Riannon.

'You don't have classes do you?' The other kept on persisting despite me ignoring them.

I simply replied with a no, making sure to send a clear message across that I did not want to converse further. But unfortunately, their minds couldn't seem to grasp onto that.

'Why don't you come have coffee with us then?' The blonde one asked hopefully.

'Err.. Jinyoung?' Riannon's face popped up behind the three girls, unaware of the death glares they were shooting at her for interrupting them.

'Coffee at Ailee's?' I asked her, unable to contain the smile that broke through as I laid my eyes on her, completely forgetting the unwanted company.

'Yeah. The usual.' She smiled back as I offered my hand for her to take, sliding the back pack off her shoulders and carrying it in my other hand. If they were angry before, the looks on their faces told me, they were nothing short of furious at the moment but I didn't care. My eyes and heart were only set on the beautiful woman next to me, my own heart racing, holding her hand as we walked away.
-----------------------------------

'You should have tried the chocolate truffle cake Jinyoung! It was so good! Did you see that? Did you see that?? I had three!!!!' Taehyung shouted happily as he stuck his head out of the window.

'And that's why you're now high on sugar. Get in here!!' Jimin grumbled as he pulled him back inside, flicking tae's forehead. Riannon turned her head and laughed at the both of them. I couldn't suppress the grin on my face as well as I looked at them bickering from my rear view mirror. Earlier,they called us on our way to the Cafe, since they were bored so we decided to invite them along.

We were dropping them back to their house seeing as it was already quite late. We were having so much fun that, we didn't realise it was already way past ten, only till Ailee came to inform us that it was time to close the shop. I looked at the three of them and was grateful I had them in my life. Who would have thought that I'd find two crazy friends who didn't seem to mind my quiet nature but always stuck around and who would have thought that I would find love. Even if.... I could never have her, my smile faded as I suddenly felt saddened by the thought.

I felt a finger poking my cheek lightly breaking me out of my reverie, 'Smile more Jinyoung. Isn't that what you always tell me?' Riannon said, with a smile of her own even though I know she was still hurting inside. She's so beautiful,inside and out and she didn't even know the effect she had on me.

'Yo jinyoung! Stop looking at Riannon all googly eyed before we all die of a car crash! You can stare at her later.' Jimin shouted while tae laughed uncontrollably. I cleared my throat and focused on the road again,my ears surely red out of embarrassment.

But I couldn't really wipe that one thought that had plagued my mind for a while now everytime I look at her. 

How I wish things could have been different.
