Jimin's POV

"What have you done, Jimin?" I asked myself in a low voice as I watch the love of my life walk away from me. I can hear the ripping sound of my heart getting torn apart. I brushed my hands against my hair and covered my face using my hands once my tears streamed down. "You made the kindest person in your life cry." I whispered. I wanted to beat myself to death because I know that I deserve it anyway. Mina doesn't deserve to experience this kind of pain. She has done absolutely nothing to be in pain, but I was a douche for hurting her. She doesn't deserve a jerk like me.

I am scared that she will eventually give up on me, so I thought of finding her, but I remember her saying that she wants to rest. I fear the time that she would just want to rest forever because she's tired of our relationship. I wanted to ask her for another chance, but I'm doubting that she would say yes. She's too hurt and it's because of me.

"Hey! What are you doing here?" I almost jumped on my place when I saw a tough-looking and muscular guy. He's holding a baseball bat and his friends are behind him, smirking. I felt scared of how they look and acted. "This is our territory." Their leader said, so I apologized right away. I walked away from their 'territory', but I felt someone grabbing the collar of my dress shirt. I stopped from walking and turned my head around. "You're not going anywhere." He smirked and punched me hard on my face.

The next thing I knew is that I let them beat me up. Maybe this is my karma for cheating on Mina. This is what I get for being unfaithful, anyway. I deserve every bruise, wound and scratch on my body. The funny thing is, I don't feel any pain while they're beating me up. I'm too numb to feel any physical pain. Nothing's more painful than to see and hear your love crying because of you.

And then everything went black.

Mina's POV

I don't know where should I go after walking away from Jimin. I don't want to go back at the condo for some time. I can't live with Jimin for a while because seeing him makes my heart ache. I just want to rest and think about everything all over again, so I decided to go to the park and sit on the bench.

"Why did you agree to marry him in the first place?" I asked myself and stared at my wedding ring. It was a forced marriage and of course, I can't do anything about it already. My parents would be mad at me if I ever turn Jimin down. You knew his past, Mina. You clearly know that students call him a womanizer, but you didn't believe them. "Because...I love him." I felt my heart flinch a little.

"Why did you still hold on after knowing that he cheated on you?" I asked myself again. Maybe because I thought that he'd change for me. Maybe because I believed that he would stop after seeing me get hurt. There's a lot of "maybe because..." in my head. "Because...I have faith in him and in our relationship."

"Why do you love him?" It's such a simple question, but it's so hard to answer. Why did I choose to love him? What did I see in him? I looked away from my wedding ring and diverted my eyes to somewhere. I went silent and thought of an answer for that question. Of all men, Mina, why did you choose to love a Park Jimin? "Because..." I can't see a reason why do I love him. It's actually hard to put into words, but I just fell for him. I fell for him, not knowing what are the consequences.

I noticed two paper bags beside me. It's the dinner that I bought for the two of us earlier and it's his new phone. Even if he doesn't use a phone, he would still find a way to be with Seulgi. I wondered what is the thing that he saw in Seulgi, that he didn't see in me. I felt like I'm not enough for him, but why is he making me feel like I'm the only woman in his life? How can he possibly make me and Seulgi happy in the same time? How can he fulfill my needs and Seulgi's needs?

I asked him to wait for me to forgive him, but it seemed like he ran out of patience. There's a part of me that doesn't believe him. I think he wanted that kiss earlier as well, but there's also a part of me that believes him. He really looked apologetic, guilty, shameful and hurt when I glanced at him.

It started raining, so I immediately grabbed the two paper bags and looked for some shade. I stood at the bus stop and sat there. I saw some couples being so sweet to each other and somehow, it made me think of our sweet moments. I remembered that time when we went out for lunch. He spent so much money on our food because he wanted to make me happy.

I decided to stay with my friends for a while. I don't want to go to my parents' house because they will surely ask what's wrong between me and Jimin. Plus, they're also stressed because of their never-ending work. I don't want to be a distraction.

I dialed Nayeon's number first and waited for her to answer. "N-Nayeon," I called her name once she answered my call. "Nayeon."

"Mina!" She sounded happy when she mentioned my name. "How was the phone? Did Jimin like it?" I sighed and avoided her question. I changed the topic right away and asked her if I could stay with her for some days. "Aw, I'm sorry, Mina, but I have visitors. My relatives came and I'm afraid that you won't have a place to sleep in." I heard some kids shouting from the background and there's also a lot of noise. I felt embarrassed all of a sudden. I think I disturbed her.

"I-It's okay, Nayeon. I completely understand." She apologized once more before hanging up. The next person I called is Jin. While waiting for him to answer his phone, I saw an ambulance pass by me. I don't know why, but I followed that ambulance with my eyes until it vanished. I didn't notice that Jin already answered my call. "J-Jin." I mentioned his name.

"Girl, are you still outside? I can hear people's noise." He said with a girly tone. I bet he's eating something because I can hear him munching something.

"Jin, can I stay with you for a few nights? Please." I begged. I prayed that he would say yes to me because I really don't want to go back to our condo for a while. "I-I will explain everything to you later. Please, I'm begging you."

"Okay, Mina. Where are you?" I told him where I am and he ordered me to wait for a few minutes here. The rain started pouring harder than earlier and it the traffic started. The heavy rain made it difficult for people to see things clearly.

After five minutes or so, I saw Jin with his car. He hopped off from his car and covered me with his umbrella. I hopped in and he did the same then he drove us off. I felt cold when the aircon's breeze touched my skin, so I hugged myself to keep warm.

"Where the heck is Jimin, Myoui Mina?" He asked as he drives towards his house. I remained silent because I want to avoid his question. I don't know why, but I became teary-eyed just by thinking Jimin. I'm sure that he's hurt of the fact that I wanted to rest first because I saw it in his face. "Yah! Did you hear me?" He asked.

"Hmm-mmm," I hummed a yes, but I still stayed silent. He must've noticed that I'm oddly silent, so he decided to shut his mouth up. After a while, we arrived at his house.

"I'm sorry if it's still a little messy. I was eating when you called." He giggled and offered me a seat. I just smiled at him and sat on his couch. He went to the kitchen and when he came back, he's already holding a cup of tea. He placed it on the center table and sat beside me.

"So...what happened?" He asked with a low voice. My tears suddenly streamed across my cheeks and little did I know, I'm already crying on his arm. He's caressing my back and whispered, "Just let it out, Mina."

Seulgi's POV

I was petrified when Jimin left me to find his wife, but I eventually recovered, so I decided to follow him. I saw him talking to Mina, so I hid behind a wall and watched them. The scene that I am in right now makes my heart ache. Jimin promised me before that nothing could break us up and I'm still holding onto that. It's true that I still love him and I would do everything to win him back, but seeing them right now makes me question my love for him. Maybe I loved the wrong person.

Mina walked away from Jimin while he just watched her until she was out of his sight. I wanted to go to him, but I know that I'm not the person he wants to see right now. He would just hate me even more if I go to him, so I stayed hidden while I try holding back my tears. He's hurt and I hate seeing him in a state like that. I don't want to see him hurt because the pain in me doubles.

A few minutes later, I saw a couple of goons walking towards his direction. I saw how scared he is right now. I want to go to him, but my feet were just stuck on the ground. He walked away from the goons, but one of them grabbed his collar and punched him. I almost shouted his name because I want to tell him to run away from them, but if I do that, they will see me and do bad things on me.

So, I decided to call the cops instead. My fingers are trembling as I dial their number. As I watch this scene in front of me, I suddenly realized why is Jimin not fighting back. He could beat them up, but he didn't. He's already laying on the ground with his nose bleeding and his clothes soiled.

"911. What's the emergency?" I immediately told them what's happening and asked for a team of paramedics. I also told them the address with a shaky voice. "We'll be there soon." I hung up and looked at Jimin. He's almost immovable as the goons kick his body. One of them even took his wallet and looked inside if there's cash.

I prayed that the cops would come soon because these gangsters are too much. After getting what they want, all of them looked around to see if someone saw them. I had goosebumps when our gazes met. I immediately hid myself and closed my eyes as I pray for my life. I heard footsteps and the sound becomes louder and louder—meaning, that they're coming after me.

As soon as I opened one of my eyes, their leader strangled me and aimed his gun on my head. "You will not call the cops, alright?" His voice is hoarse and he smells like alcohol. After a split second, we heard the police's alarm. They were all surrounded by the cops and were told to bring their guns down. I tried catching for my breath once he let go of my neck. I ran towards Jimin, sat down and gently slapped his cheek, but he's completely unconscious.

The paramedics took him inside the ambulance and of course, I went with him. I can't keep my eyes off from his face because it's so bruised and there's a lot of blood. I'm getting scared that he would not wake up.

"J-Jimin-ah, wake up, you pabo." I whispered to his ear while tearing up. "Why didn't you fight back?" I asked in a low voice, still slapping his face gently so he would wake up, but he made no response. "Wake up..." It's hard to accept it, but... "...wake up for Mina."
