Taehyung's POV
Is this how she is gonna leave me? Telling the truth while I tried to forget about the old her? Did she really change that a lot or I was really the one who completely changed her?
She wasnt the Jae-ah I knew. She was soft hearted and doesnt let me cry or else she will beat me up. But, why did she change? Why did she have to be like that? Why does he have to make me hurt?
All of our memories.. all of our goofyness.. everything about us is just nothing to her anymore.. is this how I will be living now?
Should I even be greatful that she will leave? I didnt mean to tell her that I wouldnt forgive the old her.. she didnt even remember anything.. will she even really leave?
God, wake me up please. I dont want this nightmare please. Its hurts me..
I decided to head back and see her for the last time.. I hope she is still there.. I hope she sleeps there for the last time.. and that I could finally tell her that I am really sorry for everything..
I immediately called for a taxi and the traffic was bad and made me irritate and so I went out of the taxi and finally runned to the apartment.
But, I trembled so many times and didnt give up until I got there and went inside at her's and suddenly.. I didnt see the luggage on the living room. Not even in her room.. ugh, did I come just too late? Did she got here too early? The traffic wasnt that bad..
"Oh.. annyeong Taehyung what are you doing here?" Cass asked
"Did Ara left?" I asked
"Well, she salled us to bring her luggage in a cafe.. Abby was the one who drove and we just slept because we cant like you know.. puke, she really doesnt know how to drive so nice." She said
"Did she tell you where she was staying?" I asked
"Ani. She just said that we should focus on tomorrows session. We all bid our goodbyes earlier. So, yeah." She said
"Ugh.. why did I even fought with her?" I asked
"And by the way.. are you okay letting her leave?" She asked
"Im not... I should have understand her instead of getting mad. Why did I even believe in that video?" I asked
"Theres nothing wrong with believing in things Taehyung. But, for me you have to make sure of it before judging ones character." She said
"I know that.. and I was really sorry but my anger you know. Its just been a week and she was already hanging out with Eun woo." I said
"Aniya.. it was just this time she hanged out with him. And if you are somehow jealous of June, he was already having a fling with one of my classmates.." She said
"And why are they so happy when they were together?" I asked
"Did she talked to you about herself already?" She asked
"She just told me that she kept it a secret until she couldnt take it anymore and said it to me already.. you know it?" I asked
"She told us to keep it a secret until she tells you. She doesnt really want to hurt your feelings but it was too late when she found out about herself. She didnt mean to lie to you. Its just that, when you two were together already, thats the time where she started to be loppy loops." She said
"Im speechless Cass.." I said
"Its fine.. by the way. Its still morning, did you have breakfast already?" She asked
"Im fine noona, thank you for the concern. I will just have some air." I said
"Ow here. Ara's favorite book. You wouldnt probably understand that because it was written in tagalog language." She said and gave me the book
"Stay Awake, Agatha?" I asked
"Well, she didnt give you anything before she left, thats why she want me to give this to you since she knows you'll be here." She said
"Gomawo, I'll go now." I said and left Ara's apartment
I went to the other side and sat on the couch as I put the book on the table and stared at it for a long time. Thinking if I should forget her or I should do everything to make her come back to me?
Ugh, I even promised my self if things are going well, I would have my surgery. God, that didnt even work out.. im gonna do everything for her just to change my look. Just to remove these scars on my face.
I did lied to her.. I kept on telling her different stpried about this, Behind the Mask and I just made her feel insecure. She was right all along, that I wasnt focused on her. That I know my heart still belongs to the old her. Who I tried to forget.
Ah~ I cant focus on things now? Why is it so early in the morning?
Ara's POV
I knew this day would come and I wasnt surprised with th results anymore. I am happy that im finally letting things go.. slowly.
I asked the girls to bring my luggage at Uncle dinco's after I left Taehyung. I tried my best not to let him see me because I know how painful it is for him to be left out like that.Ah~ I feel so heavy after breaking up with him. I think he suddenly understand me after what I said.. Well, I hope he does..
I will be staying at Eun woo's house since my parents and his parents were having some talks.. I have no choice. They were planning about the fixed marriage and they will be asking us two.
Ugh, im not even ready to be married. And with the person who I even dont like.
For the company's sake, what are you? A drama? God, wake me up from this nightmare.
"Hey, are you things ready?" Eun woo asked
"Of course, its been ready since yesterday. Why do we even have to this?" I asked
"I actually dont know. But, you know.. connections." He said and gave me a water
"I know that im too pretty, but cant people just be a little bit nice to me?" I asked
"Pretty your ass." He said
"Yah! As if you never liked me!" I teased
"Did I say I didnt like you?" He asked and leaned closer to my face
"Did I say that you should tell me that?" I asked and leaned closer and gave him a glare
"Well then. " he said and kissed me on the lips as my eyes widen in shock
He then stopped and stood up properly as if nothing happened.
"I know.. that.. I go to your house o-often but..." I said
"But what?" He asked
"Aish! I still havent move on from Taehyung so dont do this!" I shouted as I left him alone in his room
I was confused and at the same time im frustrated. He knows that I love Taehyung but why does he have to do this? I hate him as of right now.
I thne went downstairs and saw Gomo cooking... her mom really likes to cook alot.
"Oh, annyeong Gomo." I said
"Aish, why do you still call me Gomo if im soon to be your mom?" She asked
IM NOT READY TO GET MARRIED OKAY?!
"Ah.. eommoni.." I said
Aish.. I want to be mad at everyone.. I want to do have revenge.
"Have some rest Ara.. I can do this all." She said and I just nodded
I went upstairs again and just went to Eun woo's room since I dont have any place here. All of their rooms were coccupied but their house is quite big.
"Eun woo.." I said
"Ne Ara-ssi?" He asked while looking at his phone
"Can we head out first? I want some air." I said
"Wait for me downstairs." He said and I just nodded and left
I went downstairs as I sat on the couch thinking deeply about Taehyung.. ugh, I still love him but this is our own way.. it feels so complicated.
I dont know what to do with my self. I even left my favorite book with him and a letter in that. I hope he'll read it and understand me better. I hope we left each other with good agreement..
"Kaja.." He said
"Ne, eommoni! We will just buy something!" I shouted and we both left his house
We were just walking while its still cold outside.. aish, what am I even doing with my life?
"So, what time is your flight tomorrow?" He asked
"I dont know, hyung told me he would be picking me up later at night if the family meeting was still on going." I said
"Well, I didnt talk to you about it. It wasnt really going to be today since its you last day. I talked to everyone and told them that they should give you a time.." He said
"Jeongmal?! So I can now stay at hyungs penthouse?!" I asked
"He is right there already." He said and pointed at hyung's car
"Gomawo Eun woo!" I said and hugged him
"Anything just for you." He said
"OMO! MY LUGGAGE!" I shouted
"I already asked Nanny Dan to take it out." He said
"Ahh.. thats why you didnt went down immediately when I said I want to have some air." I said
"Ne." He said and gave me my luggage
"Gomawo Eun woo.. and sorry for being a rock to you and hurting your feelings." I said and hugged him for the last time and grabbed my luggage and gave it to hyung
He puts it inside of the car as I sat in front and waited for him to finish.
He then went inside as he drove away.
"Where do you want to eat lunch first?" He asked
"Thank you for taking me away!!" I said while being weary
"What happened?" He asked
"First of all. I really dont want to stay there, thanks for picking me up. Second, he kissed me like as if we were together or what. Im just trying to make everything sure that he never gets the wrong idea because I still love Taehyung. Ugh.. im not ready to be living like this. Even if I stay with him, I still hate him." I complained
"So.. is that all? You want me to beat up his ass?" I asked
"As if you will really do it." I said and rolled my eyes on him
He suddenly pulled back.
"YAH! DONT PULL BACK! IM JUST KIDDING!" I shouted
"Jinjja? So youre saying that I should just let him kiss you?!" He furiously asked
"Im just saying that you shouldnt beat up anyone. And.. im fine already." I said
"Did you or did not like it?" He asked
"Taehyung's kiss is much better. So, dont worry. Even if I go back to the Philippines. I will be loyal to him. Im just going back there to make everything fine." I said
"Make everything fine okay? Not moving on?" He asked
"If that will fit in my time." I said
He just smirked at me and drove off as he tries to find a restaurant.
==
We were already at the penthouse and hyung couldnt find a better restaurant or any kind of places to eat since him and I doesnt have the same taste buds today.
Its a little bit comforting now that im staying with him. I know its a bit harsh to backstab Eun woo.. but, I couldnt just be okay with him. I felt awkward at the same time but still. I have to handle the tension.
Good thing hyung saved me. He was still waiting for the delivery though. Its a bit shocking when I found out that he and Suzy didnt had any communications anymore.
"Hyung, you've been waiting at the door for 40 minutes already." I said
"Im fine waiting here, and the one I called says that the delivery guy will be here by 43 minutes." He said
"I heard you call. He says 23 minutes. You've been standing there for 20 minutes already. Is there something wrong with you?" I asked
"Ottoke?" He asked as his face turned into an anxious one
"Yah, you never been like that before." I said
"We are both broken." He said
"I know, thats why sit down with me!" I said
He then sat beside me.
"You know, people always tell me that. There are millions of boys around the boy. Why shouldnt I try to find a better one than Taehyung in million of those boys." I said
"Aish~ stop lecturing me." He said
"YAH! IM TRYING MY BEST TO COMFORT YOU AND KOW YOU WILL COMPLAI?!" I furiously asmed as I gestured my hand
"Mian.. mianhe.." He said
"Aish! I will wiat at the door! You are stressing me out! You suppose to know more about live than me because youre 2 years older than me." I said
"Well.. uh.." He said
"Stop explaining!" I said as I stood up and leaned at the door
I miss Taehyung.. why am I even leaving like this if I miss him? God, two broken hearted were celebrating.. or is it.. aish! Im not gonna think of anything right now.
>>>> 9 hours later
Taehyung's POV
Its already quarter to 9 and Im not yet eating since morning. I was just staring at the notebook for 9 hours and not minding anyone who enters at the apartment. Cassanah said that it was written in filipino words. Thats why I cant read it. And thats why I cant open it.
I wouldnt understand anything if I read it. I would end up using translator just for that.
"Wont you still eat dinner?" Jimin asked
"I dont have an appetite for dinner." I said
"Are you gonna eat or im gonna throw that away?" He threatened
"Mian.. im gonna eat. Im just gonna put it in my drawer." I said and grabbed it from the table and went to my room
"Yah! Hyung, something fell off the book." Gguk said
"Huh?" I asked and looked down and saw a yellow paper
How come I didnt see this on the book? Was it that too pressed?
I just put it inside the drawer and didnt mind it and went outside to eat dinner. I cant just eat some fries.. I will meet Ara tomorrow. I'll try my best to stop her.
I will do my best..
As I got to the kitchen and sat with Jimin, we both started to eat the food that he cooked which was tofu.. ugh, soup!!
"Didnt you really eat earlier?" He asked
"I was too busy with the book." I said
"Is it just me or is it like it doesnt bother you letting Ara go? Well, tomorriw at 6 am is her flight, will you after her?" He asked
"Yah! It hurts! Im trying my best not to freak out in this kind of situation. Cant you imagine, the girls knew about her. That she was really the Jae-ah that i've been finding." I said and he suddenly choke
"Yah! Gwenchana?" I worriedly asked
"Cant you imagine that youre so dumb? She has been giving you clues." He said
"Huh? Even you boys know about it?!" I furiously asked
"Ara and Abby fought because of it. She kept blaming herself why she cant remember you. But, neither of us didnt also had any clue." Jin said
"Well, the time she went to Itaewon. When I pick her up. She opened up to me and she really want to fix everything and be comfortbale. Its really hard Taehyung. Even if I was Ara I would probably ending up like this with her." Suga said
Im pissed.. totally pissed.. no one ever talked to me about it? What is this? What kind of friends are they?
"I dont have time to talk about it. I hope all of you can have a good night." I said and hardly put the spoon on the table as I left the apartment to have a walk
Ah~ why do people always lie to me? Im so sick of hearing that because she doesnt want me to hurt. Of course i'll get hurt. But, I will understand her. But, she doesnt have to hide this from me.
Tomorrow morning is her flight? She is leaving after doing this to me? After hiding things from me? Who is she to do that?
I am really speechless with this. Non of us can contact her anymore because her phone is off.
If she wants to do this. Then, I guess I have to forget her.
Ara's POV
The delivery already came and I was still glaring at hyung and he was acting like a baby on the floor. Its like he never dated anyone before.. the mysterious girl that his fans were trying to find.
As if they will know. Even me, I dont know who he dated back then. We were close but not close enough with him telling who his ex was.
"Yah, you unpack this." I said and gave him the delivery
"My money was in my pants." He said
"I'll pay for it." I said and gave the delivery man the money
"Joesonghabnida." The delivery guy said
"Ah. You must be late because of your school. Youre still wearing your uniform but it seems like.. the buttons.." I said and suddenly realized something
"Joesonghabnida, Joesonghabnida." He said
"Gwenchana. Be safe when you do it next time." I said and closed the door
"As if he didnt make out thats why he was late." I said
"Bring me back suzy!!" Hyung shouted
"Yah!" I shouted
"Mian." He said
"You know, we should move on and drink. Come on, I'll grab a bear at the fridge." I said
"You cant drink." He said as he sat down and galred at me
"Okay okay. Water only." I said
"Eat up." He said as he pointed the fork on my eyes
"Yah!" I said
"Eat. Up." He said
I just started to eat as what he said. Aish, I still feel so heavy.. I really dont know what to do with my life now that im actually leaving. Or not. I will feel bad if I just tell hyung that I wouldnt really go. That I found a better place at Ulsan, near his house.
While he was busy acting like a baby on the floor earlier. I opened my phone and started to find a better house near the beach. And luckily. There was one that fits my budget, with 100,000 won for each year. That will help me, since I still have alot of money that I saved up.
And since I will be stoping going to Konkuk. I prepared for a private lessons in the house I rented in Ulsan. No one knows that place much because its a remote area. Which means, not alot of people goes there.
Taehyung doesnt know places that much in Ulsan. But, if Ilsan and Ulsan as of I was thinking. Its 407 km and its a 4 hours drive.. aish, what am I even saying? I just hope hyung wouldnt found out about my plan. Since, tomorrow, he had a meeting and in that, he wouldnt notice me much.
I just hope no one will come to the airport and bid their goodbyes. I will fucking kill my self once I step at the waiting chairs to go at the plane. I hope I can escape there!
Abby's POV
It still so weird having no clown in the apartment. We wouldnt be worrying about this apartment since its a 15 years rental. How expensive. No, how rich is Ara? Seriously? How could she rent an expensive apartment for 15 years? And she will just let us live here without her? What is she? Does hse just poop a money?
Well, it looks like she does. Because when she goes out of the bathroom sometimes, she will ask if we could go out and have some shoppings. But, since these days were a bit hectic for her, she never ask anyone nor her self if she could go have some air outside.
She was busy with her books and some papers on her desk. I saw her one time that she was writing something, a long letter which made me curious and want to read it but I respect her pure privacy.
Well then, we were all of to bed now. I just wish I was Cass. She is alone in the bed, but she might feel lonely because Ara used to hug her alot. Ara cant sleep without hugging a pillow or a person. Taehyung and her were so similar. I just dont get it why do they ahve to break up like this. Seriously.
==
Its already 5 am and Taehyung woke me up. I dont know how he got here since I think everyone was still sleeping. I dont smell any food.
"Abby, wake up." He said
>>>> 10 minutes ago
Taehyung's POV
I couldnt sleep for today and I was somehow still distracted by the book. I keep on asking my self why she would give that to me without any reason. Why would she leave without any valuable reason? A nice reason.
She always run away. She kept on running away when things goes hectic for her. When things were too tanggled with her. I kept on thinking if I should do a revenge.. or not, she became a big part in my life. It would be unfair for her if I did a revenge.
Its actually driving me crazy. I cant think straight because of this. I am too frustrated and flustered and furious. I dont get my self alot!
Aish, this darn Stay Awake, Agatha. How can I even read you? I will spend a day half if I used translator. And it will wake Gguk if I sued a translator since I want it to read it out to me.
Wait, did Gguk said something to me earlier?
"Yah! Hyung, something fell off the book."
Where did I put that thing? Its in the drawer too.
I then tried to find the paper that fell on the floor and soon, I found it in one of the drawers and soon I tried not to make a tear fell off my eyes and calm my self down.
Hi Baby Bear,
It's me.. Jae-ah, your darling. Baby Bear.. Thank you for everything.. to be honest with you in everything. When you left Namwon. My heart shattered into many pieces and made me cry all day long.. its so traggic losing the only person who made me smile and make promises that he really do..
But, remember Baby Bear? It's you who the first one who left me? It wasn't me who left you. You were the first one who said goodbye to me like you wouldn't ever comeback anymore.. and yeah, you never came back. I always wait at my window to see if you will ever run at the streets and started to call me.
But, I never heard anything.. it was only the chirping birds flying around.. Baby Bear, I actually didnt regret meeting you since we were kids and up until now.
You were the greatest gift to me. Our ice cream fights.. and our usual playing fights.. I miss that Baby Bear.. Baby Bear, we made our biggest promise right? The HyungAra company?
I want to fullfil that but the timing of us didnt work. I know you were just mad with everything. But, just for this time? Please, forget about me already, move on from me.
Im not worth it Baby Bear.. your worth and mine didnt quilify ourselves to be together and mde us separate like this.
Baby Bear, if you would ever forget about me. I will always be wearing the ring and bracelet you gave me. And in that, when we both met again in our own ways.. I will show you that I am still treasuring our own memories by that accessory..
Baby Bear, sorry for this kind of goodbye.. But, Baby Bear, don't worry about me anymore? Focus on your work without me, okay?
I will be the one leaving you already Baby Bear. I always love you truthfully and I will miss you Baby Bear..
~Darling ♡
God, does she have to be like this? Does she really need to leave her childhood friend like that? Will.. will she really forget me? Again?
I cant let this slide.
Its actually 5 am and I went outside my apartment as I opened Ara's and woke Abby up.
"Abby, wake up." I said
"Waeyo? Its so early Taehyung!" She furiously said
"We have to get to Ara. I will stop her." I said
"MWO?! I'LL GET DRESSED UP! BALI!" She said and I just stood up
"What are you waiting for?! Her flight is at 6 and you will just stand up there?!" She asked
"Im done, and you have to dress up really quick." I said
She then moved quickly as what I said and she fixed her hair as she stood up beside me. The drive wouldnt be long and it wouldnt be traffic at this time. I just hope she wouldnt leave too early.
We then went down without waking anyone up and I started the car and drove faster to incheon airport.
As I said, its not traffic at this time. But, I hope it wouldnt be hard for me to find a place at the airport. I somehow need to park my car.
Ara, I wouldnt let you go. I will always be your Baby Bear.. wait for me Darling.
At a 30 minutes drive, a full of tension was hearing up in me. Trying to calm down and stay positive since I know she will still be there. She will. And I hope she was waiting for me. I will be bringing back our old days Darling. Dont worry.
==
We then arrived at the airport and alot of cars were in front of us and I just couldnt wait.
"Go now, I'll be the one to park the car. Go get Ara." Abby said and I modded at her and left the car
I ran towards the entrance of the airport and breathing so hard. Trying to catch my breath, and still, no signs of Ara. I ran around just to find her until..
I saw her hugging Eun woo.. dont they really had a thing? Are they just really friends? Was he more special than her childhood friend who tried to find her for 12 years?
Is this how she will leave me?
"Taehyung, they say I could..." Abby said
"Gwenchana?" She asked
"I guess.. I guess there is nothing I can do Abby.. I should leave." I said
"Kaja. I'll drive." She said
"Ani, you can call a taxi. I have somewhere place to go first." I said and she just nodded and I just patted her shoulders and left
I went to the car, holding the grudge inside of me and trying to make my self calm from what I saw.
I just need to do something.. I will make her regret that she left me.
I then drove somewhere and just made my self clear with what Im gonna do. Its gonna be for the best.
Its gonna be the best for me. And it'll be the most irresistable thing to see.
==
I then arrived at the place where I will change everything and went to its own office and smirked.
"I need you to remove my scars." I said
The End.
