SANA'S POV

Jimin texted me the name of the church and the venue of the reception after the baptismal of the baby.

I didn't have time to wrap the gifts for the baby, so I just kept it inside the paperbag and scraped the pricetags.

I was ten minutes late from the ceremony and it really bothered me. This is a special event for Yoongi and Nayeon. I couldn't let this slip through.

As soon as I reached the church, I parked my car and ran towards the entrance of the church. And there I saw Yoongi beside Nayeon. Nayeon is holding their baby and the godmothers and godfathers are surrounding them.

I saw Chaeng taking photos of the baby. I walked towards them and they didn't notice me because the baby caught all of their attention.

"What's the baby's name?" The priest asked.

"Min Yoona." Nayeon answered. The priest said the vows an poured holy water on the baby's head afterwards.

Chaeng was busy taking photos, that she didn't notice that I was behind her and she accidentally stepped on my foot.

"Oh my, I am very sorry!" She said and bowed. I smiled at her. She got her hair dyed. Red hair, huh?

She faced me and got shocked. "S-Sana?" When she said my name, everybody turned to me. They all looked like they saw a ghost or something.

"Continue," I mouthed and they went back to the ceremony. I just watched them and I can't help but to smile.

Yoongi and Nayeon with their baby, Yoona, looks so perfect. They are the perfect family. I can see the happiness in Yoongi's eyes. He has never been his happy. Meanwhile, Nayeon's face is filled with joy. The way she looks at her daughter is priceless. No material thing on earth can level her happiness towards her child.

The ceremony finished. Of course, they took photos. While me? I sat down on a bench and just watched them. They are all happy. They are happy even though I'm not beside them. Maybe they also moved on.

"Sana! Come here!" Chaeng gestured to come to her. I shook my head and told them that it was okay. I've seen the faces of others. Their expressions are unexplainable. And I can definitely feel the awkward aura between me and them.

"C'mon!" Chaeng demanded. I stood up and stood beside her. I made a peace sign pose. I think Chaeng is the only person that is comfortable with me.

The photoshoot finished and we are off to the reception area. I honestly don't want to come anymore, but Jimin and Chaeng forced me to.

"Sana," Chaeng walked towards me. I smiled and faced her. "Can I go with you? My boyfriend can't pick me up because he's in a meeting." She even looked at her phone.

"Sure thing, baby tiger." Her smile got wider. She hopped in my car and I drove ourselves off.

"I didn't know that you'll be coming back," she said. "And you dyed your hair black!"

"I didn't go to Japan. I stayed here," I answered her. "I never came back to Japan after Tae and Yuta's fight."

"What? We asked Ryu about it and he said that you went with them." She told me. I chuckled in reply. "You hid from us?"

"Not exactly. I didn't hide." I answered. "Are you guys mad at me?"

"I am not. In fact, I am very excited to see you again." She smiled. Her deep dimples are popping out again. "I don't know about the others. It looks like they don't expect to see you. And they're not happy about it." I sighed.

We reached the place and got off the car. We entered the restaurant--this is Jin's. I looked around and got so amazed by how it looked. It looks very elegant.

Not a lot of people were invited. Maybe these are just Yoongi and Nayeon's relative. But they filled the whole place. I even saw Yoon Jae oppa and Taeyoung unnie. They are with their children. I also saw Taejeong. He's holding a glass of beer in his right hand.

I'm so busy looking around that I forgot that I'm still on the entrance of the restaurant. Chaeyoung left me standing here. And someone bumped into me.

"I'm sorry," I faced him and confirmed to myself that Tae just bumped into me. He froze and got shocked. I smiled casually.

"I'm sorry. I was standing on the door. It's so insensitive of me," I told him. He's still shocked. "Are you okay?"

He finally recovered from being shocked, "I-I am alright." He gulped. I walked with him when he started walking. I just want to be casual with him. Plus, I want to check if I still have feelings for him.

No, I don't have any feelings for him.

"Y-You're back?" He said and took a plate. He gave it to me with the chopsticks.

"Thank you." I smiled. "Not literally back, though." I chuckled. He started getting food on his plate.

"You've heard the news about Yoona?" He pertained to the couple's baby.

"Of course, I did." I nodded. "I came here even though I wasn't invited."

"Why? Did they see you already? What did they say?" He asked me with so many questions. Once we already had our foods on our plates, we went to a table and sat infront of each other. This is a casual lunch, tho.

"They were shocked, but I feel like they're mad at me." I laughed softly. "Who wouldn't be mad if I keep on leaving you, guys, right?" He didn't answer. He just looked at me and then drank his apple cider. "How about you? How have you been?"

"I-I'm doing pretty well." He flashed his colgate smile. "I work for a company."

"Really? What company?"

"It's a perfume line company," he replied. "V&S Perfumes." What. I smiled fakely. "Have you heard of it?"

"Yeah, I've had." I smiled awkwardly. "Have you met the CEO?"

"No, not yet." He shook his head. "But I wish to meet her. Employees said that she's the best boss." I gulped and chuckled in the most awkward way.

"You're talking to her right now," I told him. He froze for the second time. "I'm the CEO."

"R-Really?" I nodded. "I-I didn't know that."

"I didn't know that you're inside my company, too." He smiled. We just continued on eating until he said something.

"Sana," I was amazed that my heart did not go crazy when he mentioned my name. "Can we..." he paused. "...talk about us?"

"What about us?" I asked him. There's no us anymore.

"Do you think if we didn't break up, we're married by now?" He asked. He placed his hands on the table and intertwined his hands.

"We have a good chance," I nodded. "Why'd you ask?"

I saw him gulp before answering me, "I-I want to ask you if we could still go for that."

"What do you mean 'go for that'?" I asked.

"Do you still love me?" He answered me with a question, too. I stared at his innocent eyes. He took my hands and held it.

"I'm sorry, Tae," I took my hands back. "But, I think this won't work out anymore. You see, I moved on because I want to avoid you from pain. And I am the one that is causing you that pain. I was left with no choice. Whenever you're with me, you're experiencing pain. I can't watch you getting hurt."

"But--"

"But still, I want to thank you for all of those memories that you have given me. It will never be forgotten." I smiled casually. "I'm sorry if I keep on hurting you."

"It's a privilege to be hurt by you." He wiped his tear. "By someone pretty, caring, loving and selfless as you."

"Look, Tae, I can't stand watching you getting hurt, so I moved on." I told him. "Sorry for giving up."

"You may give up, but I will never, Sana." It looks like he made a promise. He stood up and kissed my forehead. "Wait." I was left confused.

But I stood up and carried my gift for the couple. I searched for them inside the restaurant and when I saw them, I walked towards them. They are talking to Yoon Jae oppa and Taeyoung unnie.

"Nabongs, Yoongi," I interrupted them. They looked at me with their surprised faces. Especially Taeyoung unnie.

"Sana?" She said, amazed. I smiled at her. She then hugged me and escaped from the hug eventually. "Oh my gosh! You're back!"

"Y-Yeah, I am." I said awkwardly. I turned to Nayeon and Yoongi that are watching us. Nabongs is holding Yoona while Yoongi is behind them. Nabongs cut her hair short and dyed it brown, while Yoongi dyed his hair mint green. "U-Uh, I just want to give you this." I handed them the paperbag. Nabongs gave me a straight face and so did Yoongi.

I sighed. They are mad at you, Sana. I smiled fakely. "Congrats." I told them, still handing them my present.

"Yoongi, get the paperbag." Nabongs ordered her husband. Yoongi took it from me. "Thank you." She said with no emotions. It hurted me.

"Y-You're welcome." Stupid, Sana. You should've said something that makes sense! They just looked at me with their emotionless eyes. We were staring at each other for a very long time. And I could really feel the heavy aura between me and them. "I-I'm so sorry if I have done something terribly wrong to you guys." I said and lowered down my head.

"You should be." Nabongs said right after I said my apology. It made me face her. "You didn't show up for months, Sana. If it wasn't for this event, maybe you're still in Japan with your company! You never prioritized other people, Sana! You only prioritized yourself!" My heart is aching so bad. Everyone stopped from what they are doing and watched us. My tears started falling one by one.

"Honey--" Yoongi tried cutting her, but she cut his words instead.

"No, Yoongi! She must know--"

"Enough, Nayeon. Please," Yoongi said with full authority. Nayeon looked at his husband. "Sana is our guest and we just saw her again today. Shouldn't we be happy for her since she came back?" Yoongi told her in a calm voice. Nayeon reddened. She turned her back away from me and walked away. "I am very sorry, Sana."

"I-It's alright. Get her." I smiled at him and he did the same. He ran away to catch Nayeon.

I looked at the other guests that watched us. I got humiliated. I took my purse and ran away from the restaurant. I locked myself inside my car and teared up.
