章 36: I'm Okay
***Jimin's POV***
When I left the restaurant, Mi-Young had followed me out asking what happened between Hani and me. I couldn't hold back the tears and they flooded down my face.
"Mi-Young, s-she doesn't like me and I don't think she ever will. I-I was angry when I heard that she woke up in Yoongi's bed. I followed her and I-I don't know why but I kissed her. I kissed her a-and she... she-"
I couldn't bring myself to tell Mi-Young the rest. That Hani had thought I was Yoongi. How shattered and broken my heart was at the moment. How I have already decided to leave all this painful memory behind. I opened my mouth but nothing came out beside a painful sob. I know I'm a crying mess now so I just turned around and ran. I ran towards the street and waved down a cab.
Mi-Young was running after me, but couldn't keep up. I got into the cab and went back to Hani's house. I grabbed all my clothes and belonging and started packing. I couldn't stay here anymore. I need to leave before she comes back home.
My door swung open and I see Mi-Young panicking at what she saw.
"Oppa! What are you doing?"
"I'm leaving. I should have left when I first found out. I can't stay any longer. It hurts too much."
"Oppa... I-"
"Thank you for helping me Mi-Young. I'm sorry for using you to make Hani jealous..."
"Oppa, do you even know why I mentioned making Hani jealous? It's because I-"
She didn't finish her sentence. Instead, she ran out of my room and I could hear her running up the stairs and into Hani's room. My attention was on packing my clothes when her footsteps could be heard rushing down the stairs and back towards the room.
"Oppa..." she called out to me. She was gasping and slightly out of breath. I stopped packing for a second and turned to her. She had a neatly wrapped present in her hand. She slowly walked towards me and hands me the gift.
"What is this?" I asked confused as to why she all of a sudden is giving me a present.
"Open it. I want to see your reaction Oppa."
I slowly unwrap the present and found it to be what I had been wanting to get since my old headphones were worn out. And it was light blue too.
"Oh, Mi-Young! I have been wanting to get this headphone for a while now. Thank you so much! But what is the present for though? I feel bad because I didn't get you anyth-"
"I like you!"
I froze at what I had just heard come out of Mi-Young's mouth.
"W-what did you just say?"
"Jimin Oppa. I like you.... A lot. I asked you to use me to make Hani jealous, but it was really just for myself because I like you. I knew that Hani liked Yoongi, but I used your feelings to get closer to you hoping that your feelings would change from Hani to me. I'm sorry Oppa for being selfish. I never meant to hurt you so much."
I could see tears forming in her eyes as she continuously apologizes to me. I felt thankful to her for telling me the truth, but I also felt bad because I couldn't return her feelings to her. I loved Hani and I don't think I will be able to love another girl. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't keep her present so I handed her gift back to her.
"I can't accept this Mi-Young. If I accept it, then that means that I accepted your confession. I don't want you to be hurting like me so I'm telling you now that I won't be able to return your feelings. Thank you for liking me and I'm sorry."
She takes the gift back into her hand and stares at it for a moment before handing it back towards me.
"Take it Oppa. No confession tied to this present. Just think of it as a present from a friend. I promise I won't use it against you in the future."
"Mi-Young, I really can't-"
"I insist. Thanks for rejecting me nicely and for not getting upset at me when knowing my intention..."
She paused for a second before finishing her sentence.
"And.... for still being my friend???" She asked hesitantly.
"Of course you are still my friend-"
"Then accept my gift. I won't stop you from leaving anymore, but I really hope that you choose to stay. And I hope you stay in touch with me Jimin Oppa."
I could see the sincerity in her eyes so I smile at her and accepted her present.
"I'll use it right away when I get on the plane. Thanks, Mi-Youngie."
She smiled brightly back at me when she heard what I said. Her smile soon fades before she asked me a question.
"Are you going to tell Hani that you are leaving?"
Just the mentioned of her name and my heart fluttered and hurts at the same time.
"I don't know...." I replied as I resume to pack my suitcase.
"She is your childhood friend, Oppa. She'll be worried if she comes home to an empty house and doesn't know where you are."
"I'll think about it. Please don't say anything to Hani."
"Ne... Take care Oppa."
"You too Mi-Young. Annyeong."
She gave me a hug before she left. I finished packing and was about to leave the room when I thought about what Mi-Young had said earlier about worrying Hani. I let the suitcase fall to the ground as I grabbed a pen and paper and wrote a short farewell letter to her. I left it on the corner of the bed. I grabbed my suitcase and turned to look around the room that I had been living in for the past months. My eyes landed on the bed once more. The vision of me holding Hani in my arms the first night I came to Korea could be seen. A tear escaped my eye as I watched the vision disappear right before me.
"Goodbye Hani..."
I walk out of the room and closed the door behind me.
************
***Mi-Young's POV***
As strange as it sounds, I wasn't hurting as much when Jimin Oppa rejected my confession. I thought that I would be so hurt and devastated but.... I'm okay. Yeah, I'm okay.
He returned the present back to me, but I have no use for it so I wanted him to keep it. I guess it was a bribe for him to stay my friend even after what I had done to him. My boyfriend will be disappointed that I couldn't make Jimin Oppa happy. I couldn't do any of it because I wasn't her. If only she knew how much he loved her. She looks good together with Yoongi, but I think she belongs to Jimin. I hope she realizes it soon before she loses him.
