I swallow hard, my pulse thundering in my ears.
I was supposed to be meeting Dara.
That's what she said.
A work discussion. A quiet place. Neutral ground.

But it was never going to be her.
Because now, it's him.
Jin leans back, exhaling slowly as he watches me. He's calm, collected-exactly how he always was when he was trying to hide something.
Finally, he speaks. Smooth, unreadable.
"You wouldn't have come if you knew it was me."
It's not a question.
I blink, his words hitting me straight in the chest.
Because he's right.
I don't answer. I can't.
I just stare at him, taking him in.
Four years.
Four years, and he still looks like everything I remember and everything I've tried to forget.
The sharpness of his jaw, the effortless confidence in his posture, the way his eyes-warm but cautious-watch me like he's waiting for me to run.
Like I always do.
I inhale, my throat tight.
"It's not-" I stop, my voice catching. "Jin, it's not like that."
His expression doesn't change.
I push forward, desperate now, because I need him to hear this.
"I wanted to see you," I whisper. "God, I wanted to."
Jin flinches.
It's small, barely noticeable. But I see it.
The way his lips press together, the way his fingers twitch against the table-like he's holding himself together.
I swallow hard. "I was afraid."
Jin's brows furrow.
I let out a shaky breath. "Afraid of what I'd say. Afraid of what I'd do. Afraid of-"
"No."
Jin cuts me off, sharp and final.
I freeze.
He shakes his head, gaze firm now. "That's not why I called you here."
I blink, my stomach twisting. "What?"
Jin exhales, his jaw tight. "I didn't ask to meet you because of us."
His voice is steady, but I hear the weight behind it.
"I met you because of Taehyung."
The words hit me like a crash.
Taehyung.
The name pulls me out of the past, forces me into the present.
I frown, trying to grasp onto the shift. "Tae?"
