Jisoo stood underneath the warm water of Jin's showerhead and doesn't move. She let the water fall endlessly down as they kiss her face. Her eyes shut closed as she took in the warmth.

Finally realizing that she wasn't at her dorm, she quickly scrubs her body from head to toe and cleaned up before shutting the water off. She stepped out of the bathtub and grabbed the towel that was hanging up next to the tub.

She dried her body from the wetness and wrapped the towel around her tiny body. She looks at her reflection in the mirror and took a few deep breaths and gave herself a pep talk to gain her confidence back up.

"You can do it Jisoo. You need to tell him. Let's do this... I can't do this!"

She freaks out before pacing back in forth like an insane person.

"I can't! I can't do it."

Jisoo turns on the faucet and splashed some cold water all over her face. Her heart speeding with so much intensity before she looks at herself in the mirror again.

"You have to tell him Jisoo. You love him don't you?"

It was as if she was talking to another version of herself. Her reflection was well composed and confident. She was staring straight back at Jisoo.

"Do you love Jin?"

"Of course I love him. I love him so much."

"Then tell him Jisoo. Tell him the truth and tell him how much you love him."

She nods to herself before placing a hand over her chest in an attempt to calm down. She moved into Jin's room and grabbed one of his white t-shirt and a pair of his boxer. With no bra on and only his boxer and a white tee, she slowly exited his room as she made her way back to Jin who was waiting for her.

I can do this. I can tell him. I can-

Jisoo stops in her track once she heard another female voice coming from the living room. She sneakily tiptoed towards the living room to see that Sunni had dropped by. Her eyes widen as she hid and waited for Sunni to leave before showing herself up to Jin and telling him anything. As Jisoo waited she overheard the two talking.

"He doesn't love me Oppa. He's in love with someone else..."

Jisoo could hear Sunni's voice crack as she talks about the man she loved.

"I was careless and opened my heart back up to another man who doesn't even love me. I was foolish and desperate to have someone to lean on, but I finally realized that in order to love anyone, I should learn to love myself."

Jin was speechless. He wasn't sure how to respond to the now crying girl.

"Sunni. I'm sorry to hear."

"It's okay Oppa. I deserved it. I'll think of it as my karma for hurting you. I loved him, but with every closed door, another opens. The one who was made for me will one day arrive, but until then I'm done looking for him. For now, I'll concentrate on myself."

Sunni wipes her tears away as she let out a loud and satisfying sigh. Jin smiles at Sunni before she returns the smile back.

"So, how's the girlfriend been treating you?" Sunni asked suddenly.

She saw a pair of a girl's sneaker by the door so she had a hunch that Jin's girlfriend was over. Sunni didn't want to intrude, but she couldn't help but be curious as to who Minji might be.

"Minji? She's perfect. I'm so in love with her Sunni, you don't know how happy I've been these days because she's in my life..."

Jisoo could feel her heart flutter as she heard Jin talk about her. She let a small smile creep across her lips as she tried not let her heartbeat too loud. He loved her just as much as she loved him. So when Sunni leave, it was really time to tell him the truth.

Sunni smiles as she saw how Jin went on and on about his Minji and complimenting how she was the best cook and most lovable and beautiful person ever.

"She's here isn't she?" Sunni teases and horror falls upon both Jin and Jisoo's face.

The happy moment that just happened on the couch before Sunni decided to drop by attacks Jin's mind and his face flushed bright red as he tries to deny it. Sunni saw how flustered he was and assumed she was right.

"Oppa, it's okay. You're a grown man who has needs too. There's nothing wrong with having your girlfriend over," she jokes as Jin tells her to shut up.

In all honesty, Sunni really thought that Jisoo and Jin would have gotten together with the way Jisoo had shown up at her apartment that one time. Jisoo was so determined to make Sunni go end things with Jin, and yet Jin's girlfriend was Minji and not Jisoo.

And with Taehyung being in love with Jisoo, Sunni just had to ask Jin to be sure.

"Oppa, have you heard from Jisoo?"

"Jisoo? Min Jisoo? No, why?"

Jisoo's heart drops the moment Sunni mentioned her. She didn't know why Sunni had mentioned her but curiosity got the best of her. Jisoo moved a bit closer towards the two but made sure to still stay hidden from Sunni's view.

"You really haven't heard from Jisoo?"

"No. I haven't ever since she left the company. Why? What about Min Jisoo?"

"Oppa, what are your thoughts about Jisoo? Do you like her?"

"She was a great girl and nice, but I don't like her. She was your friend Sunni. Why would you suddenly ask me that?"

Jisoo's world came crashing down, hard. All the courage that she had built up and the truth that she had planned on telling Jin had cracked. Her web of lies could no longer be told. Jin didn't love Jisoo. Her fear consumed her and tears streamed down her face before she's heard enough. She moved away from the two and made her way back into Jin's room.

Relief rushes through Sunni as she let out a huge smile. She was glad to know that Jin doesn't love Jisoo. She grabs the letter that she had written Taehyung out from her purse and hands it to Jin.

"Oppa, this is my letter of resignation. Will you please give it to Taehyungie?"

"Why didn't you just go see him Sunni? Go see him and give it to him yourself."

"I can't Oppa. I don't want to turn into a person like those second lead actresses in Kdramas who doesn't know when to let the man who doesn't love her go."

Jin let out a loud laugh at the girl's choice of words.

"I'm serious Oppa. I'm scared I won't be able to let him go if I see him. I'm scared I'll want to hold on to him. So please, do this last favor for me."

Jin nods and Sunni put the letter in his hand before she finally gets up from the couch.

"Oppa, I would really love to meet Minji, but my flight is going to leave in about an hour, so I need to head to the airport now. I am happy for you. I wish you and Minji all the best. And take care of yourself."

"Aren't you going to come back?" Jin asked her.

"I don't know Oppa. I want to travel all over the world first if I ever do decide to come back."

"Take care of yourself too Sunni. I'll be sure to give Taehyung your letter."

Jin got up and gave Sunni one last hug before she finally left his place.

Sunni's belongings and suitcase had already been packed. She went straight to the airport, got her things checked in and finally when she was seated in her assigned seat, she took out her phone and went through all her photos.

She had taken many pictures with Taehyung. Some were silly pictures of when they first started dating. Some pictures were taken in secret when Taehyung was sleeping on her couch. Some were taken when he was deep in thought about another person.

It's funny how she never really took the time to look fully at every picture. She thought he would be her's forever. Her eyes teared up as she slowly pressed the trashcan to delete her photo. Her thumb hovers above the 'Cancel' and 'Delete' button as she let her tears fall.

She presses the delete button and moved on to the next photo.

With the last photo of Taehyung finally deleted from her phone she went into her messages. She read through all her and Taehyung's exchanged text messages one last time before deleting them.

Scrolling through her contact list, she stops on Taehyung's number. She has seen this number numerous amount of time. She could remember his number by heart. It was like a tattoo that was implanted in her head, but even tattoos can be removed.

Delete

After her deleting spree, she turns her airplane mode on and put her phone away. She looks out the window as the plane flew up higher and higher into the sky.

Her heart will mend and only time can tell how long it was going to take.

But she was ready. Ready to leave Taehyung behind. Ready to start fresh and new. Ready to finally love herself.

To Be Continued...
