I returned to hometown after almost 6 years, everything was nostalgic. Every path, every place felt so familiar.

Memories flooded in my mind as I saw the places where I spent my childhood, it was heartwarming. I felt emotional and grateful.

I contacted with some old friends, spent the whole day with them, laughing and recalling old memories.

In the evening, I went out to explore my hometown, I was excited to visit old places where I used to hangout.

While walking down a familiar street, I saw him.

I saw Kim Seokjin. He was more handsome than before, he was busy walking with headphones on.

My heart started running race, my breathings fast. Crazy how my heart's response to him was the same as years ago. He still had same effect on me.

I thought I got over that feeling but it seemed like nothing changed.

I wasn't ready to meet him so I turned to leave but he called me.

I slowly faced him, fiddling with my fingers, a nervous smile on my face.

"Hey, Artist!" he greeted me, narrowed his eyes before pointing to his face," Remember me, Kim Seokjin?"

I nodded, unable to find words, it was so unrealistic to see him again

That he remembered me.

"You changed a lot, I hardly recognised you." He laughed.

How much I missed his laugh.

"Maybe." I shrugged nervously," I see you also have changed positively."

"Oh yeah!" Jin smiled wider,"I got more handsome!"

I smiled as I nodded.

"Coffee?" He gestured towards a café at the end of lane.

"Sure." I replied.

Maybe this time we can write a good story together, maybe this time fate is with me.

This time I would give my all to chase his love, to win his heart.

I prayed that hopefully he wasn't taken as we walked towards the café.

We ordered our coffee and sat at a table near window.

"I am glad you still remember me, Seokjin." I said.

"Of course, I remember you, Jessie Black. We use to spend so much time together back then. I always thought where you disappeared." He tilted his head.

"That's nice to know, Seokjin" I said," I went to other town for education, so kinda disappeared due to busy life."

"Stop calling me Seokjin." He pouted, "Call me Jin as you used to."

"Fine, Jin." I chuckled.

I couldn't explain in words the euphoria I was feeling. Many emotions were dancing in my heart. He was still same, friendly and goofy, just the way I remembered.

Our coffees came and we kept chatting about our lives as we sipped our coffees.

"Don't disappear this time." He said sternly, "We will stay in touch, I missed you so much."

It was so hard not to tear up, my heart was relieved to know he missed me, he remembered me.

"Yes, we will stay in contact." I said cheerfully.

"Let's take a selfie." He got up and so did I.

He was about to click selfie, when I  tried to remember why didn't I confess to him years ago. I couldn't recall properly. I kept myself so busy that past memories were a little blur.

Jin's phone rang, I took a glance.
Her name flashed, his eyes sparked.

Sophia's face flashed in my mind and I recalled that Jin loved her, so did she. I didn't want to disturb their relationship so I backed out.

𝑰'𝒎 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏,

My heart got heavy when I realized I still didn't stand a chance, he was taken. My smile faded but I had to accept the truth.

"Excuse me, please." Jin smiled sheepishly before walking a little away as he picked her call.

I couldn't hear their conservation but the way he blushed and whispered showed he was still in love with her, nothing changed.

He found his love of life.

After hunging up the call he came to me, we clicked a selfie before binding goodbyes, I was left again with a heavy heart.

It was okay if I wasn't meant to have him, atleast we were friends.

At night, I smiled weakly seeing our selfie, another beautiful memory with him.
