she has never felt this warm since the cold season had started. jimin was sitting right in front of her, one of his hands supporting his chin, another hand of his was being intertwined with chae rim's hand. he was staring at her, and he did not turn away from her at all.

he was truly, deeply, and madly in love with her. the thought of it made a smile crawled onto his face.

"what's this?" chae rim queried, pointing at the white liquid on jimin's palm. jimin just gave her a nervous smile and shook his head, "nothing."

"— how have you been?"

"i've been through summer, autumn and half of the winter without you. i know that every year i do this, but why does it hurt so much this year?" chae rim's lips trembled. jimin squeezed her hands as a form of reassurance.

"i've been hurting too, chae rim. the thought of not being able to see you makes me feel suffocated."

"but you were the one who said to meet during spring. i agreed, not knowing that spending three seasons was actually so lonely, and devastating."

chae rim was right to an extent, but there was something lacking. jimin didn't want to tell her.

it was the fact that chae rim love the view of flowers blooming, and jimin wanted to be the first person to see the new spring season with chae rim.
