Chapter 47

Two weeks later...

"Do you think that they could still forgive me?" Haejin asked, sighing. She looked outside, waiting for their plane to take off.

It's currently 6 in the evening, and 2 am in Korea. They'll arrive at around 2 in the afternoon (KST).

Jaemin looked at her, "What? Why? You didn't even do anything."

Haejin sighed, "I caused so much trouble. Running away from you, breaking up with you... Sohyun, too. I also need to apologize."

"Love, you didn't do anything wrong. Plus, they all know what happened! And what's with Sohyun?" Jaemin asked.

"I don't know, I just feel like I have to apologize to everyone." She said.

"What do you want to do the moment we arrive?" He asked.

"Do they know that we'll arrive today?" She asked.

Jaemin shook his head, "No.. but Jisung does."

"Can we go to practice? I wanna surprise them."

Jaemin nodded, "Alright, if that's what you want. For now, sleep. It's 6pm and 2am there. Plus, I might have a little surprise at the airport."

Haejin raised a brow but shrugged the thought off anyways.

"Alright," She leaned her head on Jaemin's shoulder. "Thank you."

"For what?" He asked.

"For staying with me. I even broke up with you but heck, you even followed me here in Canada." She said.

A smile was creeping on his face, "Yah, you don't need to thank me. If someone was in my position, I bet they'd do the same too."

Haejin sighed, "Love you."

"Love you too."

****

"Jisung-ah!!!!!" Haejin immediately ran towards her bestfriend the moment she saw him at the airport.

Jaemin laughed, "I suggest you back off for a while, Love."

Haejin raised a brow and looked at Jaemin, "What? I'm just hugging my bestfriend. Wait, don't tell me you're jealous?"

Jaemin shook his head, "Not me. But someone might be."

Haejin heard a cough behind her. She immediately tensed up, wondering who it might be.

"Eunji-unnie!" She exclaimed, hugging the mentioned.

"Yah, Haejin-ah, are you okay? Are you really okay now?" Eunji said, worry evident on her face.

Haejin nodded, "Yes, I am, don't worry." She raised a brow when she realized that they're the only ones who met them at the airport, "Wait, unnie. Why are you with Jisung? Don't tell me—"

Jisung swung his arm around Eunji which made the latter smile brightly.

"W-What?! You're official?!" Her eyes widened.

The two nodded.

Haejin screamed and hugged the two, "AH FINALLY I'M SO HAPPY FOR THE BOTH OF YOU!" She said.

Jaemin laughed, "I told you she'd be happy."

"This is the surprise you're telling me?" Haejin asked.

Jaemin nodded.

"Since when though?" Haejin asked.

"Good question, but for another time." Jisung answered.

****

"Mark-hyung." Jaemin knocked at their practice room.

His hyungs and dongsaengs immediately welcomed him inside, they didn't notice that Haejin was with him all the time.

"Before you ask me anything, hyungs, I've got someone with me. Mark-hyung, someone wants to talk to you." He said, gesturing Haejin to come inside.

Haejin looked down and hugged Mark immediately. She sobbed on his chest and Mark was confused about what's happening.

"O-Oppa, I'm sorry..." She said.

"Hey, what's wrong? You didn't do anything. Stop crying now. Yah, Jaemin is just watching you." He said.

She's with Jaemin. And they all knew that their plan worked.

She wiped her tears and faced the rest of NCT. She bowed and said, "I'm sorry for the mess I've made, oppas... I hope you forgive me."

Taeyong made her stand up, "Yah, Hajein-ah, it's no big deal. What's important now is you and Jaemin are back together. Just promise us that you won't fight like that ever again, okay?"

Haejin nodded.

"Group hug!!!" They all hugged, and Haejin was in the middle.

"Ah, I really missed you guys!" She said.

"Aw, we missed you too!"

****

"Sohyun-ah, Haejin wants to talk to you." Jaemin said, entering New Melody's practice room.

She immediately tensed up, "Is she mad? Oh god, what do I do—"

"Chill, she already knows everything. Including you and her brother. So you don't need to be scared." Jaemin said, rolling his eyes.

Sohyun sighed, "Alright."

"Sohyun-ah, I'm sorry. I should have believed you and let you guys explain." Haejin started.

"Yah, Haejin-ah, I'm the one who needs to apologize. If only I didn't ask Jaemin-oppa to practice with me, then you two would not fight like that. You guys almost broke up." She looked down.

Haejin patted her shoulder, "Yah, it's fine. We're all fine now. And I hope you are too with Mark-oppa."

Sohyun's head suddenly perked up, "A-About that... We officially broke up just last month..."

Haejin laughed, "I know, and don't worry, I'm not mad at you.."

Haejin looked at Jaemin as if she was asking him to leave for a while. He nodded and left the two alone.

Sohyun sighed, "I believe that he already told you everything?" She asked.

Haejin shook her head, "Well yeah, but not really. I want to know the reason why you had to leave my brother just like that."

Sohyun immediately tensed up, and Haejin made a gesture, shaking her hand, "Please don't get the wrong idea. I'm not
mad at you."

Sohyun sighed and started, "Well, I guess Jaemin had told you that I left because of a reality show, right? Well, that's the only reason. I left. I didn't tell him because I was scared that he might not agree with my decision."

Haejin was intently listening to her, afraid that she might lose something important if she loses focus.

"I was selfish. I didn't consider his feelings. If only I told him, then we would still be happy until now." She looked down. "I know it's my fault, and even if I want to turn back time, there's nothing I could do. The damage has been done. We're already over."

Haejin held her hand, "You can't turn back time and make a rewind, Sohyun-ah.... but you can always start a new. That's what Mark keeps on telling me every time I screw up." She said, smiling at her.

Haejin sighed, "Do you still love him?"

Sohyun immediately shook her head, "Not as before. I've moved on, I promise. There's no point in chasing a person who already moved on a few years ago." She said.

Haejin nodded, "Alright, alright... I wish I've known you sooner. It would be awesome if you'd be my sister." She said, laughing at the thought.

"Me too." Sohyun agreed. "But we could still be sisters even if those things happened, right?" She asked.

Haejin nodded, "Of course!"

****

"So, how are you feeling?" Jaemin asked.

"I feel good and relieved now that I know everything." Haejin answered.

"I'm so relieved that we're okay now." Jaemin said, holding her hand.

Haejin looked at him, "You know I can't be mad at someone for a long time. Especially you."

Jaemin leaned in, closing the gap between them.

"Haejin-ah," He said once they pulled away from each other.

"Hmm?"

"What's the date today?" He asked.

Haejin thought of the date. Her eyes widened.

"M-May 2... it's our—"

Jaemin smiled, "4th year."

"Happy 4th year, love. I love you." Haejin hugged him.

He hugged back, "Happy 4th year, I love you too."

"Forever..."

"And always."
