Tell me what we are fighting for,
And is it worth the battles?

"You can give up on me, but I am never going to give up on you!"

He screamed from behind, but I didn't have any choice but to ignore him.

I was left with no option. I didn't want him to get hurt because of me. The love of my life, my moon, my Jinnie...how could I made him suffer just for my happiness? What if Appa killed him?

Lots and lots of stories end like this every day. One crying for another, and our story was the same. We really loved each other so much, but I guess fate didn't want us to be together. Thanks to God, he made me meet such a precious and caring person, but our journey was only for six months.

Looking back, I wondered if I deserved him or not. He gave me so much love, care, support and respect, and I? I gave him only pain. He suffered so much because of me. Would it happen if he loved a girl who had a happy and loving family? Would it happen if he loved a girl who had an actual father, not a demon-like mine? Would it happen if he loved someone who didn't give him pain?

Wasn't he fed up with me? Listening to my cries and rants, that didn't make him tired? Why was he still after me? Why he still struggled every day? Why he couldn't move on?

Why I couldn't move on?

Seokjin always waited for me at the entrance door, as he said, he was never going to give up on me, so maybe he hoped to have a talk with me and clear things up

But I always sneaked away from the back door, since I didn't dare to talk to him or face him. Maybe he would have asked questions like 'What have I done?' or would have said things like 'I'm not afraid of your father, let him do what he wants'. However, even if he wasn't afraid of my father, I was.

Appa never talked to me again after that day, and honestly, I didn't want to talk to him either. How could he say that he would kill the person I love the most in this world?

Disheartened because he actually stalked his own sister, I cut all the talks I never had with my brother.

I was heartbroken after seeing Jin struggling there every day to meet me. Whenever I saw him, he was always teary-eyed and looked like he hadn't slept for days. I actually wanted to run to his embrace but because I truly loved him, I needed to stay away from him for his happiness. Standing at a far distance, I always wished him a successful career ahead as well as prayed for him so that his wishes could come true.

Like other days, I clumsily walked to the back door of the emergency exit, because as usual, he was waiting there, hoping to meet me once.

I opened the door, but suddenly felt a pull on my wrist. I turned but was surprised to see his face, all red, and eyes tired and full of anger. I let out a gasp as he pinned me on the wall.

"Do you think you are that clever?" he whispered in my ears and breathed heavily. It was his habit to start rapping whenever he got angry, but today I saw a different Jin. A frustrated Jin.

"Seokjin let me go!" I yelled.

His eyes got widened, and then he furrowed his brows, "Really? From Jin to Jinnie, but now Seokjin? You are going to forget me like this?"

He shook my shoulders harshly, letting out all the tears of patience from his eyes. Like his usual candour, he couldn't hold back himself anymore.

"Ah, Jin it's hurting!" I cried.

He was uncontrollable, "Is it really hurting? Do you know what hurts more? I have waited all these days to just get a glance of you, and you always sneak away from me! Why are you ignoring me like this Y/N? Didn't you promised to stay?"

I put my gaze down. I was scared to face him. What could I've said? That if I stayed, he would get hurt?

He lifted my chin, making me face him as I witnessed tears falling from his cheeks, "I'm keeping my promise, babe! Please just don't leave me!"

He hugged me tightly. I could feel his tears on my shoulders. When he hugged me, I suddenly realised how much I wanted him. How much I love him. Staying away from each other only hurt us both. My arms slowly raised to wrap around his wide back, but then the picture of Jin getting hurt floated before me. I pushed him away from me, but he still smiled like a silly.

"Y/Naah! I have got a piece of amazing news! Just listen to me!" he held my hands and exclaimed. No matter how hard I tried to free myself and run away from him, he was not ready to let go of me.

"I'm selected as the new composer of Serene Entertainment! They are inviting me to work with them in Busan. I'm going to Busan! My dream came true! Won't you stay by my side in my happy days?" he smiled weakly, still crying.

I was amazed. His dream came true. The dream for which he had sacrificed his family, for which he struggled hard, really came true! I wished I got the news when we were together, not when I was leaving his side...

"Why should I stay by your side, Jin? You will forget me once you'll get famous! Why should I sacrifice myself for you?" I said in a cold tone, making sure that every word goes into his ears so that he could move on from me.

But he held my hand tighter, pulling me into a forceful hug.

"I know Y/N why you are talking like this. You're forced, right? Come with me! Let's go to Busan! We will live happily ever after!"

I pushed him away, "Are you insane? How can I leave the company for which I have sacrificed my dreams and go with you to Busan?"

"Because you love me, baby, don't you?" his gaze became softer. His eyes made me feel like I wanted to hug him so badly but I couldn't.

"Aish," I cursed under my breath, "Look Mr Kim Seokjin, just do what you want to. My father and my company are more important to me. I think now that I've cleared everything for you. So just leave."

His smile faded away. All the hopes in his eyes vanished. How much a man could bear? First his family, now me! After all, he's a human, he had feelings that got hurt multiple times. He slowly took my hand in his'.

"Then," he looked deep into my eyes, "Ms. Park Y/N, I'll leave tomorrow and I promise that you'll never see me again in Seoul. Thank you for all the sweet memories. Thank you for entering my life. Thank you for everything. But I request you to never forget me. Never forget the goofiest Kim. Bye then." As he completed his line, his tears fell on my hands.

He finally let go of my hand and wiped his tears. He gave his plumpy smile to me.

"Bye, buddy!"

He left.
