37 One More Week

***Jimin's POV***

I tried to fly back to the states, but I couldn't. My flight to Korea was a round trip and if I wanted to fly back tonight, I would still have to pay the penalty fee of $200 to change my flight and pay for the flight difference even though I'm cutting my trip short. The airport is a beach when it comes to this stuff. I'm a poor soon-to-be college student. I had used up most of my money for this trip already. I still have another week in Korea before my original flight back. Another week would be okay as long as I don't see Hani anymore. Especially after that dramatic goodbye, it would be awkward to run into her again.

I called up Namjoon Hyung and now I'm crashing at his cousin's place until my flight back home. I'm sharing a room with Taehyungie. We became pretty close during my stay here in Korea and I can say that I am glad to have met Taehyungie and Seokjin Hyung.

It was 1 in the morning and Taehyung was already asleep. I had been up thinking about Hani. I said I was going to leave my feelings for her behind with that last kiss, but it only made me want her and miss her more, especially when she kissed me back. There was something about it. It was so passionate but also felt sad. I could feel through her kiss how much she loved me. How she eagerly wanted me just as much as I wanted her.

But she thought you were Yoongi....

That's right. That was the only reason why she felt any love towards me. She thought I was Yoongi...

The thought of her waking up in Yoongi's bed caused me to groan in annoyance and anger as I sat up in Taehyung's bed. He got up tiredly and blinked at me blankly before his wide boxy smile slowly appeared on his face.

"What's wrong Jiminie?" His deep voice cracks as he asks me.

"Nothing. Go back to sleep Taehyungie. I just need some water."

'Ne... Hurry and come back to bed," he said as he laid back down on the bed.

He falls asleep right away. I got up and went into the kitchen to grab a cup of water. I quickly drunk it all and went back to bed. I grabbed my phone that was charging with hopes that maybe she didn't see my letter yet and was looking for me.

No text. No missed calls. Nothing...

Did she see my letter? Did she make it home safely? I should have waited and made sure she was fine and at home first before I left. I internally slapped myself before I sent a text to Mi-Young.

'Can you please check on Hani for me? Is she okay? Did she make it home safely?'

After a few minutes, I received a text back from Mi-Young.

'She's home and sleeping already. Don't worry Oppa.'

A few seconds later I got another text from Mi-Young.

'How are you texting me? I thought you'd be on a flight back to the states by now?'

'My flight back is not until another week. I'm staying at a friend's place for now before I go back.'

'Oh. Be sure to let me know so I can see you off at the airport. Good night Jimin Oppa."

'Good night Mi-Young. And please don't tell Hani.'

I felt my eyelids getting really heavy after finding out that Hani was safely at home and already asleep. I thought to myself as I close my eyes...

One week..... Can I love you for just one more week?

************

I woke up the next morning and realized that I had fallen asleep in the guest room. I was still in Mi-Young's dress and wondered to myself who tucked me in.

My swollen eyes ached as I got up from the bed. I rubbed my head to ease the throbbing pain and slowly made my way upstairs. I opened the door to my room and saw that Mi-Young was sleeping soundly in my bed. It must have been her who tucked me in last night. It couldn't have been Hyung. He left...

I held back the tears that were building up in my puffy eyes as I clutched Hyung's letter in my hand. I didn't want to cry anymore.

I moved as lightly as I could trying not to wake the sleeping girl. I left the wrinkled letter on the vanity table and grabbed a towel.

A shower was all I wanted at the moment. The hotness of the water splashing on to my face felt really nice and I just stood in the shower taking in the feeling. Soon the water started getting colder on me and I realize that I must have been in the shower for too long. I quickly soaped my body and hair before turning off the water and got out from the tub.

I got dressed and I heard my notification beep from my phone. There's no one who would text me this early. It's only 8 in the morning. Mi-Young was still sleeping in my bed and I know for sure it's not Yoongi. It's too early for him to be up. And it couldn't be Hyung either.

I checked it and my eyes widen at who it was. I had been so preoccupied with Hyung, Yoongi, and Mi-Young that I had totally forgotten about Hoseok. He texted me asking to meet up tonight. Should I even continue with this plan of mine? Hyung has left already and I don't even know what is going on between him and Mi-Young anymore.

After a while of hesitation, I finally replied back to his text.

'Same time and place?'

I decided to go forward with it. Mi-Young doesn't even want to marry Hoseok anyways. If he breaks off the engagement, it'll be good for Mi-Young.

'Same place yes, but let's meet up earlier. I would like to have dinner with you first. And I already got a room for us. It's on the top floor, suite 700.'

'Okay, what time should we meet up?'

'Is Mi-Young with you? I would like for us to meet without her knowing. If she is not there with you I will come pick you up.'

'She is here and still sleeping right now, but I remember her saying that she has to meet her parents later tonight at 7.'

'Alright, it's settled then. I'll pick you up at 8 PM tonight.'

'See you tonight Hoseok Oppa.'

I turn to watch my best friend still sleeping in my bed. I am really a great friend, aren't I?
