Feeling a little strange and curious about it, Jisoo manoeuvred herself closer towards the part of the bed frame to take a closer peak. And the closer she got, the more she could make out a string of letters carved into her bed. It didn't look like the works of an amateur who had taken a screwdriver and carelessly carved it in - it looked intricate, professional, as if it was part of the design of the bed.
But why would anyone do that and then have it face the wall, hidden from everyone to see?
Squinting a little, Jisoo shone the light from her phone onto the carvings, and read the letters out slowly. "K... J... S... P... B..."
KJSPB?
Jisoo frowned. Those five letters sounded familiar, somehow. Almost as if she had heard them before-
"KTHPB-" Jisoo's eyes widened, her heart racing at a million miles per hour as she recalled her hotspot password back then in uni. "Kim TaeHyung PaBo. KJSPB... Kim JiSoo PaBo."
Jisoo let out a gasp, as her knees buckled and she crumbled to the ground, her phone falling out of her hands onto the ground with a thud.
Was this just a coincidence or...?

Jisoo didn't know what she was expecting, but the five letters she saw made her feel some kind of way. After all, this wasn't the only time she had ever felt that the house was slightly off - all this while, she felt that everything about the house seemed a bit too... familiar. The purple walls, the wood theme, the layout... it all was exactly the way Jisoo had pictured her dream house to be and described to Kim Taehyung...
She had pushed aside all these suspicions temporarily, with all the changes in her life from moving house, to her best friends wedding, and coping with changes in management of art director at the art museum she was working at. But looking at this carving in her bed, Jisoo couldn't help but thinking about the possibility again.
What if... just what if... Taehyung really was the one behind the design of this house? Everything just seemed so perfect. What if he was the one who sold this house to her? What if... what if he was the one coming to visit them in a bit?
"Kim Jisoo!" Her mother shouted from downstairs. "You need to come down now!"

Jisoo's heart raced as she got to her feet, her hands trembling as she walked towards the door and pulled the door open. Holding on tight to the railing, she made her way down the stairs slowly, already hearing voices downstairs.
"Wow I've always seen you in pictures but never gotten to see you in real life..." Jisoo's dad said as he let out a chuckle. "You're really handsome."
"Thank you, sir."
"So... you're also from SNU, huh-" Her dad exclaimed. "Like my daughter."
"Yes, I graduated from SNU a year ago, from the Architecture faculty-"
Jisoo's eyes widened and her legs almost gave way.
"Sorry, give me a moment-" Jisoo's mom said politely, before yelling. "Kim Jisoo! Are you coming down?"
Jisoo quickened her footsteps, her heart about to beat out of her chest as she finally got to the bottom of the stairs and glanced at the dining table. At the table sat four people - her mom, her dad, a beautiful lady and a familiar-looking guy.
Jisoo gasped as the guy got to his feet, pointing at Jisoo in surprise. "Oh, Jisoo-ssi-"
But it wasn't him, the person Jisoo had desperately wanted him to be. Jisoo realised in that moment that she was just delusional, the letters carved into her bed probably meant nothing, and she was far from getting over him. Jisoo tried her best to hide her disappointment as she approached the familiar face with a forced smile.
