It was currently summer. The afternoon sun blazed, sending unbearable heat waves through the air. Jimin was dressed in leather, so the moment he left the air-conditioned hotel, he started to sweat.

But he continued to stand under the scorching sun, smoking, as though he couldn't feel the heat, only when he choked on the smoke did he snap out of his daze, heading for the car park.

Jimin drove aimlessly, and in the end, he only took note of where he was when he once again reached Su Yuan apartment building.

He was here once again.

In this three years, he had been here countless times, every single time he drove aimlessly, he would end up here. He stared at the apartment blankly for a long while before leaving blankly like a fool.

The sun was bright outside his window. When the rays became too blinding, Jimin restarted the engine. But before he could hit the accelerator, he caught sight of a familiar figure from the corner of his eyes. His heartbeat sped up. It was as though someone had pulled him aggressively, sending a tremble through him. Slamming onto the brakes, he turned his head violently to look straight at that familiar figure.

Even though she was wearing a cap and shades that covered most of her face, he could still easily recognize her.

There wasn't much change to her figure, but she was thinner. She wore matching red shirt and skirt that complemented her pale skin, exposing her long slender legs. Her feet were put into a pair of flats.

She seemed to be talking on the phone. Her head was lowered, her lips curled upwards. It was the same lazy smile she previously wore so often, exactly like he remembered.

When he finally snapped back to reality, Rosé had already boarded a car. Instinctively, he slammed onto the accelerator to chase after her, but when he remembered how they had separated three years ago, the impulse dissipated. Exhausted, Jimin slouched onto the seat weakly.

The car remained in silence for five minutes until his phone rang.

Jimin hesitated before turning to look at the screen. Without waiting, he picked it up. "Kook?"

"Are you busy later?" Jungkook asked. There were hushed voices at the back as though he was in a meeting.

Jimin shook his head lightly, clearing his mind. When he finally calmed down, he replied, "No, what's up?"

"If you're not busy, help me get Chan. I have a client right now and Kim family just called saying that Lisa's uncle isn't well so Lisa went over." While Jungkook explained the situation, he continued to instruct his employees. "This idea won't work, redo it."

"Is there any problem?"

Jimin replied, "No."

After hanging up, he glanced at the time; he was already late. Hurriedly, he started his car and drove off.
