A/N: second to the last chapter! make sure you read chapter 32 and the epilogue, of course.

Two months later.

Aoi's POV

"I really want to talk to Yoko," I started with a sad tone, "Again, that is, she hated my guts. And I didn't now Joo-eun didn't like me from the beginning," I stopped myself right away, realizing how much I've been talking about these two people for the past few days.

"You keep on talking about them whenever we talked, are you still that worried? There were always be people who hate you, I mean, just look at you," Jaehyun (classmate) told me while we locked ourselves inside the arts room, looking through the window.

It's the last period anyway, and it's some topic that I've already studied about in advance.

"I'm still worried, I want to understand them. What do they want, what do they need, what could I do? It's so frustrating how people can just drop you like that. I don't want to pass by them and act like strangers, and it does hurt me whenever they give me the stare or just ignore me completely. What do you think?"

"It's either you talk to them or you quit, don't you know that? You can roast them, make them get what they deserve, or just quit trying."

I frowned, "They deserve someone who understands, no kidding, I want to be that person. I'm tired of misunderstood people anyway."

Jaehyun then mockingly laughed at me.

"What did you just say? Are you sure you're Aoi?" He jokingly waved his hands towards my face, I pushed his hand away and hissed at him.

"Fuck off if you're going to joke around," I shot daggers at him. He just laughed at me again and pretended to cover his face from my 'attack'.

"I have a question though," he started out of the blue, "Do you have a boyfriend?" He asked, making me flinch and cringe so hard deep inside that I can actually become paralyzed from it. I've always hated that word, it just sounds disgusting to me.

"Yeah, but I never liked calling it like that, I hate that word, really, I will punch the living hell out of you if you say that to me in person ever again," I threatened, reminding myself of Park Jimin.

"Okay, okay, so you do have one," He said, humming in acknowledgment after I nodded my head. "Well, I can finally say this then, without fear of getting rejected because I already know that it won't be me."

What?

Wait.. no, no. Unbelievable. I thought I was kidding myself when I thought of it a few days back. This can't be real, right?

"I knew it!" I stepped back, turned my body to the right and pointed my finger at him, "I thought about it before but shrugged it off because it was stupid, but you like me don't you?"

He shot me a blank stare before proceeding to face-palm himself, "Right. It's not my fault, not that I intended to have a crush on you or anything!"

Thank God he wasn't in-denial, but it was funny that he could still defend himself before I confessed to me for him. Seriously.

"Wow, that's actually unbelievable, how come?" I couldn't believe it, he always roasts me and rarely ever cared about me.

"I don't know, I liked you since.. I really don't know, two years ago? At first it was hard for me to approach you and now that we're actually getting closer, the more I thought that I liked you," He literally rapped every single word in front of me. I was overwhelmed and it was hard for me to react.

"Well, you're actually more than a piece of shit so, who knows that I might actually date you later on?" I replied and tiptoed to pat him on the head. "This is the best rejection I could ever give, Jae." I smiled.

After school, I started walking towards to the front gate to finally get myself out of school for today, with Jaehyun by my side. I suddenly saw a figure of Jimin and his twin standing in front of school, probably waiting for me- I think. I had to rub my eyes for about two times because it was the very first time I saw the twins together up close.

(A/N: *heavily breathes* two jimins make me want to skin myself alive)

I rushed closer to them with Jaehyung trailing behind. The more I looked more into them, the more I realized how different they looked from each other. "What are you two doing here?"

"I wanted to pick you up by myself but he wanted to come along," Jimin explained, pointing to his brother who just waved. I'm still so glad that they made up with each other just two weeks ago, seriously it just makes me so happy. "Who's that guy?"

"Jaehyun, my classmate," I introduced. Jaehyun stopped in front of them and got into an eye contact with Jimin's twin. "So, Jaehyun, this is Jaehyun and this is Jimin."

Instead of bowing to each other, the two Jaehyuns both just engaged in an intense eye contact. Jimin was confused and just gave me this puzzled look. "Don't fight over having the same name, you little shits," I laughed while they remained quiet.

"Okay, I'm going to call you Jae and Hyun. So, Jae, my beloved classmate, meet Hyun, Jimin's twin. Pretty sure you three are going to get along well," I predicted.

After the intense eye contact, they all just loved at how weird they look. And actually started talking to each other. I called it, of course they're going to be good friends. They're all pretty similar anyway.

I smiled and accidentally turned around, seeing Yoko who stood there with a sullen look on her face. I quickly ran to her after Jimin acknowledged that I will leave them alone for a moment.

"Can I.. talk to you for a second, Yoko?" I stammered. I was really happy to see her. There were a lot of students walking past us so I gently pulled her away from the middle of the crowd to somewhere more empty.

"W-what is it?" She asked, ready to listen.

"I'm sorry," I gulped, "I'm sorry for being a bitch to you, for hating you, for judging you, for not understanding you, everything. I'm also really sorry I took someone you valued away from you. Believe it or not, I learned something from you, Yoko. I appreciated people more, I learned to value what I have, and that there's more to people than what we see on the surface."

"I used to hate people, and looked down on them, and everything you told me a few months back really helped me. Even if you said those words, just once. I really can't take you off my mind since ages ago but thank you and I'm sorry," I said. And to be honest, that was the most heartfelt thing I've ever said to anyone.

Yoko smiled and gestured me to hold my hand out. I hesitantly followed, and she held it, "Don't change too much, people like you for being you, don't you know that? I accept your apology, and I'm sorry too."

She then got something from her pocket and placed it on my palm. "I'm leaving Korea forever on Sunday. Say bye to Jimin and his twin for me. So this will be our last time seeing each other, Aoi," She smiled.

After I realized that it's Friday and this is her last day, I didn't hesitate to hug her from behind, as hard as I could, "I never knew that you hug," She laughed.

I felt like I was going to cry after the hug had ended, but when I looked at the small card I realized that her address in Japan was written on there. And a little note. I looked up to her and waved her goodbye, then looked down on the small card.

'See you later, Mizushima Aoi. I'll wait 'til you come back to Japan.

- Yoko'

And I was happy, very happy, that she finally knew everything. I could tell from the words she said. That she wasn't as lost as I was before. She finally realized that Jimin is a twin, and who I really am. And now she's willing to see me in Japan again.

Soon enough, so see you again, Yoko.

I then felt my phone buzz inside my pocket. I quickly rummaged through my skirt pocket and pressed the message that was coming from Rina, opening it.

'By the looks of it, you talked to Yoko. How was it? I'm in front of the school with the three J's, waiting for you. Next time let's hunt Joo-eun down! :3

P.S your classmate is cute <3'

I immediately laughed at her text and raised my head up, seeing the four of them. Jimin, Jae, Hyun, and Rina. Joo-eun, Miyun and Soojung will show up too, soon enough. I'm sure of that. I quickly ran towards them and realized that the three J's really became friends. I linked arms with Jimin and he gave me a kiss on the cheek, while Rina gave me a wink.

I'll be waiting to reach out my hand to you too, Joo-eun.

I know this isn't the end.
