After calling Aeri, Jimin rushed to the place where Aeri was waiting for her. When she met Aeri confused eyes, looking at her from afar at their waiting place as promise, Jimin ran towards Aeri while crying, and Aeri couldn't help from feeling panic with the sudden reaction.

"Jimin? What's wrong?", Aeri asked when Jimin standing still right infront of her without saying a words yet.

"Why did you guys lied to me?", she asked while crying.

"What lies? Jimin, explain---"

"Minjeong is gone, and why didn't you guys tell me?"

Aeri became speechless. She don't know what should she do but the guilt sure hits Aeri a bit. It's really a wrong thing to hide Minjeong's whereabouts from Jimin, but what can she do? Minjeonh was the one who asked them to do that.

"I'm sorry...", Aeri hugging Jimin into her embrace, feeling sorry towards her bestfriend. She knew that since that day, Jimin treausured Minjeong more than anyone else. Aeri knew that Jimin still feeling guilty towards Minjeong, also thankful for everything she've done.

"Minjeong hates me...", Jimin sobs.

"No. Listen here. Minjeong loves you, and she decided to go to give you some space, and to give herself some space. It's not wrong for you guys to forget what just happen. I'm sure that one day, you and Minjeong will meet again and at that time, everything was beyond perfect"

Aeri assuring her bestfriend while still hugging her warm. Jimin need some comfort, cuz she know Minjeong disappearance definitely an issue to Jimin's psychology.

Aeri remembered something that she forgot to give Jimin. Minjeong told ber to give the older girl the box in any case she mighy figure out her disappearance. Aeri then pulled out a slim white box from her bag, handing it to Jimin.

"Minjeong told me to give you this. She said, as long as the bracelet were fine, her feelings was still the same~", Aeri smiled and Jimin finally stopped crying, looking at the box infront of her. She slowly took the box from Aeri's hand to look the content inside.

It was just a silver fine thin bracelet with a little single circle pendant on it. It's really minimalist, but so beautiful. Jimin was left in amazement but confused at the same time. But since Minjeong was the one who gave her this, and she did said that to Aeri, so it means that Minjeong didn't hate her, right?

"I promise, one day you'll meet her again~", Aeri continued.

.........................................

3 months later...

Jimin came out from her shower to check her phone again. It's been 3 months since Minjeong disappearance and Jimin couldn't hold her urge to meet the younger woman.

She missed Minjeong so damn much.

Still in her bathrobe, Jimin pulled out her diary that she started once Minjeong left. You can say that all the contents inside that single diary was all about Minjeong.

Hi again, Minjeong.

Today I'm writing about you again, huh?

What can I deny more? I missed you so much.

It's really been a while. When I asked Ning and Aeri about you, their answer will always be the same.

They said they don't know.

But hey, Minjeong. I guess I know something about myself. I realized that the way you treat me all this years, without me knowing about it was a gift. I'm really grateful with that.

Knowing that actually there's someone always looking out for me in secret was creepy, but knowing that that someone was you, I was glad than ever.

Why did you loved me so much, Minjeong? I'm really a bad person. This bracelet was fine 'till now. Did you still like me?

But also, hey. I felt something too.

Since the day you left, my heart clench and tighten by itself. It's hard to breath knowing that you wasn't anywhere near here. It feels like not be able to see you once a day suffocating me like hell.

And hell it keep going for 3 months 'till today. It still suffocating me everytime I remember you. Your existence was a great memory, but your lost was somewhat... a pain?

Hey, Minjeong. Can you explain?

Did I like you too?

Or is this just guilt that I still have towards you?

Should I just go to Busan and find you by myself? I'm free on this weekend. I guess I should go?

.......................................

"Aeri, I'm going to Busan", Jimin suddenly said confidently while pulling out a tiny luggage from her room.

They start living together 2 months ago. Aeri was always there when Jimin go to her therapist, and for that to happen smoothly, Aeri asked the raven haired girl to be her housemates.

"The hell, Jimin? When?"

"Now", Jimin said as she stand right infront of Aeri. Her clothings and things was all ready. The only thing she need to do is taking her first step outside the house, riding the train to Busan and roaming around to find Minjeong.

"Really, Jimin? For god sake? What are you planning to do? To find Minjeong?", Aeri asked and Jimin nodded her head immediately. Aeri sigh in defeat, knowing that when it comes to Minjeong, Jimin will do anything she can just to meet the younger girl.

"Then what? Roaming around Busan to find her? Jimin, I know you want to meet her desperately but even Ning, her own bestfriend didn't know where she is. The only things we know is that Minjeong was alive, and she's in Busan. What are you planning to do?"

"Like you said, roaming around until I find her"

"Oh god, Yu Jimin...."

"Aeri, listen. I need to find her or I really can't sleep at night anymore. Everyday I was thinking about her and for god sake, I felt like dying. I really need to meet her", Jimin gripping her luggage tight. She is stronglu determined. If she cannot find Minjeong...

"I'm so desperate Aeri. Please..."

Jimin might consider suicide as her final solution.

"Fine, Jimin. As long as you take care of yourself", Aeri sighing heavily, eyes looking at her bestfriend in concern. Her smile wasn't that big, but that smile trying to assure her friend that she'll be fine.

Aeri knows better how much Jimin depressed by not meeting Minjeong.

and Aeri can tell much that her bestfriend finally fall for the younger girl.

........................................

After 2 hours 15 minutes on KTX, Jimin finally set her foot on Busan. Breathing in the new air, Jimin let out a smile to start her journey, in hope that she can find Minjeong in short time.

The weather was pretty good. The sky getting darker, almsot night. But there's still tons of people walking around. Jimin start walking to find a hotel nearby.

But before anything, she stopped by a cafe not far away from the train station. She ordered a Frappuchino and a slice of red velvet cake and later take her seat in a single chair table.

Looking around, just in thought that maybe Minjeong working in a cafe here in Busan too. Who knows? That also mighy happen?

"Should I find her in every single cafe?"

After having her frappuchino and cake, Jimin headed straight to the nearby hotel to book a room. Her search will start tomorrow, and she'll do her best to find Minjeong.

The girl who changed her life.

...........................................

The next day,

It's evening, and Jimin kneeled down right infront of a convenience store. Her luggage was right beside her.

She fed up.

Jimi just go to 10 cafe in Busan today, which drained her energy, also money. She couldn't find Minjeong anywhere and she was so damn exhausted.

Sighing heavily in defeat, Jimin just watch rain pouring slowly infront of her eyes. Glad that the convenience store roof was enough to protect her from thr cold rain, but Jimin don't know how long she should wait till the rain stop.

"I should find a new hotel", Jimin said to herself.

Rain goes on for 30 minutes and Jimin couldn't endure the cold from the breeze, so she decided to go inside the convenience store and bought some hot coffee, with a cup of hot cup noodles.

"It's 10,000 won", the cashier said and Jimin gladly gave her the money.

She headed towards the eating counter and start preparing her food. Eating the food hot while looking outside to the rainy wet roads was somehow a calm. It soothes her mind and heart, but deep inside its a bit hurt.

"God, I'm being sentimental again~", Jimin laughs.

She slurps her noodles once, and suddenly received a soft pat on her left shoulder. When she look back, how shock Jimin is when she saw the figire she missed in the convenience store uniform.

"M-Minjeong...."

"Hi, Jimin", Minjeong smiled towards her.
