"Is he answering​?"

She raised her head only to see Lizzy's eyes targeted on her. She shook her head.

"He is mad at me." she pursed her lips. Lizzy placed her hand on her shoulder to comfort her.

"You need to tell him sooner. You don't have time Mizuki."

Mizuki nodded, her fingers ghosting on the mobile screen. The messages she had sent him were left unanswered​. Her forehead creased, she don't have time. She needs to apologize soon.

🌠

"Hyung, what about Mizuki? Should we call her too? I know she will be happy to see Yoonji as you said Mizuki loves her and also the little satan loves Mizuki." Namjoon crossed his legs and rested his back on the couch. He noticed that the smile on Jin's face vanished as soon as he heard her name. Jin cleared his throat. It will be a lie if he disagreed with the fact that he never read those long ass message Mizuki had sent him after that day.

"She is busy."

"You are lying." Namjoon's words left him off guard.

"Namjoon forget about her i-"

"Hyung, are you angry on her?" Namjoon didn't needed any response, Jin's blank face was enough, "Damn.. hyung, you are seriously something. How can your fight with her?" Namjoon was pretty serious this time. He was unhappy with the fact when Jin finally got someone, the universe has started making it worse for him, "What happened hyung?"

Jin sighed, he noticed that Namjoon was pretty much serious, "Nothing much." he replied.

The younger got up from his seat and walked towards him, "Hyung, i kind of feel happy when i see you with her. Just by the way you claimed her that day outside the mall… it made me realise that you have something for her. Hyung…" his hand landed on Jin's wide shoulder. Jin raised his head to match his stare, "Don't let her go… you never talked with many but i can see you talk with her freely also i know you care for her... Hyung… she is noisy, a bit immature too but she is kind-hearted and most importantly.. i know you like her." Namjoon wasn't sure whether the things he said actually reached his heart or not but he said those because he wanted too. He don't know what the actual problem was, what is the reason behind Jin's loneliness but this time he made sure that he will make Jin realise that he cannot afford to let her go.

"Namjoon.. what are-"

"That's all i want to say." Namjoon interrupted and walked towards the door without waiting for his response.

Jin stared at him blankly. He wasn't sure why he felt like his feelings just got voiced.

🌠

Seokjin, i want to talk to you once. Please pick up the phone.

-Mizuki.

Jin slid the phone aside. His eyes forcefully targeted on the numbers printed on the papers. He wasn't in the mood to read nor his brain had any intention of processing the data. For instance Jin wanted to answer her but then that scene would start playing in his mind.

The door opened and his manager entered.

"Mr. Kim, there is some-" before he could complete, Mizuki barged in. Her eyes filled with guilt, her hand clutching her bag which was hung on her shoulder.

"Seokjin." she lowly called him. Jin could feel his heart softening just by her sight which he missed but then he wasn't in the position to give up.

"You can go." he said to the manager.

Jin gave undivided attention to her after his manager went. Mizuki collected herself and walked towards him. Her eyes were longing for him. She worshiped him wholly.

"Seokjin i-"

"What now Mizuki? Why are you here?" Jin flabbergasted but she didn't moved nor she flinched because she knows that she deserves his wrath, his cold stares.

"I am here to apologize Seokjin and also i wanted to give-" she dug her hand inside her bag which she had brought with her. A small Mario figurine was revealed. She placed it on his table, "I wanted to give this…" she said. Jin averted his eyes towards the figurine. He studied it, it was kind of cute but then Jin was not interested to show his soft side for the Mario and that too infront of her.

"Oh, so you are here to apologize? And you thought that giving this will melt my heart?" Jin smirked evilly. His eyes shooting fire were darted at her.

Mizuki looked down and then raised her head, "You have inspired me a lot Seokjin and i wanted to give something but i wasn't sure what i should give. Yesterday when i was out for shopping, i saw this so i decided to present this to you before i...i.. leave." Mizuki completed and that's when his stomach churned.

"Leave?" his eyebrows furrowed.

She nodded, "I am going back Seokjin.... I don't belong here. I was just here to study and practice​.. now i have completed my practice so i can go back to my country and stay with my parents. Day before yesterday was my last day in the hospital. I am.. I am leaving tomorrow so... i wanted to meet.. you.. you weren't picking the phone so i decided to meet you personally." Mizuki completed. Her heart racing, she knows that today will be the last time when she will be seeing him. She knows that he will never meet her after what she did that day.

Jin couldn't avert his eyes off her. There were nothing else in this universe which mattered to him now.

Mizuki inhaled sharply, "I am sorry Seokjin. I am sorry for saying those mean words. I hope you will forgive me someday." she looked at her fiddling fingers, "I am leaving tomorrow. My flight..it..will leave at 7PM... So practically this is last time..we are meeting..so.. bye..it was nice knowing you and meeting you…" she chewed her bottom lip, "Bye.." she breathed, turning she ran towards the door.

Jin was left dumbfounded. He gazed at the floor when her existence vanished from the room. He could feel his heart meeting his stomach. His muscles tightening.

🌠

"We love you a lot... Mizuki…we wanted to see you off but we are sorry.. we tried asking the head but he said no."

Mizuki awed, "It's fine guys. You all are talking to me now that's all what matters." she chucked. Her fellow colleagues wanted to see her off but due to the tight schedule their leave were rejected, "Okay bye now. I will call you once i landed."

"Yeah bye.."

She hung the call, inhaling the scent of Korea which she will be missing, she walked towards the gate. The luggage heavier than usual. When she arrived here, she never thought that she will carry so much in her heart. Those memories, sad and happy ones all were with her. She clutched her purse tighter. She could feel her soul yelling to stop and stay but then she need to leave. She had lots of memories, she will miss everyone and especially- Seokjin…

Her legs getting heavier as she walked as if they were demanding to walk backwards. 'I need to leave.' she reminded herself again and again. When she was just an inch away from the gate, she felt a tight grip on her wrist. Mizuki turned only to see Jin.

"Seokjin." her eyes twinkled, she never thought he will come. She never imagined Jin coming to see her off. She was happy. She started feeling complete. As if she just got back her lost luggage.

"Leaving already?" His voice hoarse and deep.

"Yeah, i-" she was cutoff as he took her purse and bag from her hand.

"Seokjin." her eyes widened, he was aggressive. Jin carried her luggage in his one hand while the other hand clutching her wrist.

"Come with me." he demanded and dragged her all the way. The people waited only to see them. She was clueless and weak but still she allowed herself getting dragged. Jin brought her towards his car which was parked in the parking lot. The area was silent yet lively. The heavy noise of aeroplane landing and taking off could be heard. As soon as Jin reached near his car, he dropped her luggage and spun her to face him.

"Seokjin.. what happened i am late-" she paused when she felt him walking towards her. An unusual sensation ran through her nerves, she walked backwards and her butt hit his car. She looked back and then at him. Jin smirked, caging her. His hands beside her, his eyes on her.

"Seokjin.. i.." she was loss of words. She didn't felt weird infact she liked when she felt his fruity scent hitting her face.

"Mizuki..." her name rolled off his tongue. It was pure blissful. His eyes never leaving her, "..Date me."

🌠

She stretched her arms, sunlight washing off her covered body. She fluttered her eyes, gazing the room- his room. A smile was plastered on her face, the scene of last night played infront of her eyes.

Jin asked her to date him. He wanted​ her to stay, he wanted to date her and that was the reason he stopped her. The time when she told him that she is leaving was the time he realise how much she means to him. He already lost Rhea due to his cowardly self but this time he was not in the mood to let Mizuki go, nor he had any intention of giving her up.

She agreed, it was the first time she found out what her heart actually wants.

Mizuki got up from his bed. Obviously being a gentleman he was, Jin offered her his room and he slept in the guest room. She smiled as it reminded about the time when she blushed due to his offer. She wasn't able to match his intense stare. Jin on the other hand loved the way she would daze just due to his heated gaze.

Mizuki made her way towards the kitchen to find Jin but she was wrong when her eyes landed on a note which was kept for her.

I will be back in the evening. Wait for me.

She blushed again. She was actually dating him.

"Baka." she scrunched her nose.

🌠

"Why this restaurant? And why not yours?" her eyes admired the open terrace restaurant he had chosen for their date and then it landed on him who was already looking at her. She looked down, his stare was intense and too much to handle.

Jin smiled, she looked absolutely adorable, "They will disturb us." he replied. Jin ordered her favourite items.

"Seokjin.. i.. want to work.. also i have told my colleagues to find a suitable room for me so i can-"

Jin frowned, "No, i don't agree with the room thingy. Mizuki, i know your agreement have ended but why that room thing? You can-"

"Seokjin please..i don't think it is good idea to stay with you."

"But-"

"Please Seokjin." she pouted as she looked at him.

His lips left a long sigh, "Fine but till then stay with me." he demanded on which she just smiled sweetly​.

"Whoa…this feels so good…" she cooed, cold air hitting her face. Jin looked at her for once, she was indeed looking like a small girl who peeps out from the window.

"Aye childish.." he scoffed. She looked at him and stuck her tongue out and he just chuckled. Rest of the time she rested her head on the seat and stared at the scenery while Jin admired her. He would steal glances at her, she was beautiful. Initially, he thought that she is just a replacement for Rhea but when time passed he realised Mizuki can never be replacement of anyone. Jin likes her because of her childish attitude, her overly-hyped self. Jin knew she is the one.

They reached his place. She got down from the car, walking beside him. Jin purposely brushed his hand on her just to see her cheeks turning pinkish.

He unlocked the door and like a gentlemen stood aside so she can enter. Mizuki entered, her eyes admiring him.

"Mizuki." she stopped and turned her head over her shoulder. Jin walked towards her.

"What?" she asked. His eyes weren't leaving her, "Nothing, Good night." he said and after taking a brief look at her, Jin left.

That was something unbelievable, his eyes were gleaming as if it wanted to tell something. Mizuki shrugged off and went towards his room.

"He is hot Mizuki. You are lucky." Lizzy slurped the deep fried noodles, "Ask him whether he have any brother or cousin?" she gobbled.

"Yikes...Lizzy." Mizuki made a disgusted face at her, "No." she answered.

"So? What happened?" an evil grin was formed on her face as she wiggled her eyebrows. Mizuki was awestruck.

"What?"

"You are dating him.. so i mean…" a lopsided grin was formed on her face as she looked at dumb Mizuki.

"What do you mean?"

"Oh come on Mizuki don't be so dumb..!! I wanted to ask-" Lizzy paused as she looked at her, she was feeling sorry for her dear friend, "I wanted to ask whether you both did something you know.. ahem.. naughty?"

"Oh my god." she covered her mouth, "Lizzy no way."

"Oh come on. You both are adults and are dating."

"I know but Seokjin is a sorted man. He will never rush for things." she said proudly.

"Whoa already taking his side, girl you guys should take some steps now. I think he should do some advancement. Did he atleast said I love you?"

Mizuki's tongue got pinned to ground, Jin never actually proposed. They were just dating. He never expressed his love nor she did, "No."

"Great and they say, they are dating.. wow." Lizzy blurted but instantly felt sorry for her dear friend. She extended her arm to reach Mizuki, "Mizuki, don't be disheartened​. He will propose you." she comforted.

____

He will propose you…

He will propose you…

"Are you sure, you will be okay by yourself?" she landed into reality due to his hoarse voice.

"Eh? Yeah.." she zipped the last bag. Jin sighed as he walked towards her, she was in her own world from the time she came back. He grabbed her shoulders and looked at her.

"What's the problem? Do you want money till you get a job?" he asked.

"No no… i have my savings. Don't worry." She weakly smiled.

"Then?"

"Then? Aa.. Mm.. then..i ..Seokjin.. do you want to say something?" she narrowed her eyes. Jin thought for a second.

"No.." he released her, "Oh yes. I want to tell you something."

Her eyes beamed, "What?"

"Get ready. I am taking you to your apartment." He winked and then walked away. Her shoulders drooped. He indeed had no intention of proposing her.

That day Jin assisted her to arrange her apartment. Jin even cooked for them. She was happy that in all that chaos, Jin was there with her and even helped her out.

"Mizuki, wanna eat ice-cream?" he suggested.

"Of course."

They entered the ice-cream Parlour. She noticed that the girls present there were already checking him out. She rolled her eyes at them and proudly walked towards Jin only to grab his forearm. Little did she know that Jin was watching her from the crook of his eyes.

Jin walked with her towards her apartment after spending great time in the parlour. She looked at him, cold wind blowing off her hair, tickling her skin. Jin was humming some random songs inbetween he would just smile at her when their eyes would interlock.

They reached her place. He stopped, "Mizuki.. so have you sent your resume?"

"Yeah.." she showed her teeth. Her eyes twinkling due to the moonlight. Jin smiled, "Great. Tomorrow is your interview right? All the best."

"Thanks Seokjin." she chimed.

They both had their tongues rooted to ground. None wanted to budge.

"Okay.." Jin scratched his head, "Well then..see you..."

"Yeah.. see you.." she stammered. Her eyes never leaving him.

"Okay.. i will… leave.. or.." Jin paused, "…should i come over.. i mean-" Jin didn't wanted to look desperate. He just hoped that she won't take it in a wrong way.

"Aa.." she chewed her bottom lip, Lizzy was right. Jin looked elsewhere apart from her. He was shy but still he managed to look pretty cool.

"I will leave now.. Seokjin.." Mizuki voiced her final thought before the things get awkward between them. She turned and started walking away from him. Just then Jin called her.

She turned and saw the most confident man standing infront of her. Jin walked towards her. He wanted to be a man for her just the way she said that day. Mizuki could feel the exposed area of her skin raising as he approached. He stopped dangerously close to her.

"Seokjin..?" she knows when he mans up, he becomes the most confident person ever.

"Mizuki.. i want to say that.. we.. we won't be rushing.. let's just.. go slow.. and yes.. i will wait for you." he said and that's when her soul left her body. She wasn't that dumb to process the words. She was awestruck for a minute but then she collected herself. She nodded. She knew the meaning behind those words, she exactly knew what he meant by that.
