Jisoo comes back home and receives a message from Seulgi

Jisoo puts her phone down and starts packing. She takes her mini suitcase out

"Hope it'll be a good day tomorrow," she says to herself as she finishes her packing

It's 11 and Jisoo isn't the least bit sleepy. She looks outside and the moon is shining bright. She decides to take a stroll. She puts on her kimono in case it gets cold and lets her hair down and goes outside

The neighbourhood is safe, full of security. Pretty much everyone knows each other here. The street is quiet and Jisoo is the only one out. She likes the quietness of the place. It puts her mind at ease. She takes her headphones out and puts them on

Jisoo feels each and every lyrics and moves to the music in the middle of the street. She has never felt so free and fearless. She closes her eyes and feels the wind which is blowly against her cheeks. She tucks her hair behind her ears but the wind blows them to her face again. Jisoo finds it funny and laughs out loud. She starts walking again and the music keeps playing

Suddenly she sees someone standing below the streetlight, a guy

She can't see his face but he has his hands in his pocket, he is wearing a black hoodie and this makes it even harder to recognize his face. He is watching Jisoo move to the music from far and as soon as Jisoo see him, she stops moving

"It's-" Jisoo says to herself as she looks around

She has walked a long way and she didn't even realize it. She is standing in front of Taehyung's house and the man looking at her intently is Taehyung

Jisoo turns the music off and pulls her headphone out

Taehyung walks towards her

"Didn't expect to see you here" he says

Jisoo sees that he is limping while walking

"I just came out for a walk. What happened to you?" she asks

Taehyung stands in front of her. The hoodie makes him look mysterious, Jisoo looks at him and sees that he has a bandaid on his forehead too

"Are you fine?" she asks again

"Yeah, what about you?" he asks

"What is going to happen to me?" Jisoo asks

"Nothing. Just asking. Want to walk together?" he asks

"Umm, no, actually I should go back home" Jisoo replies

"Can I accompany you?" he asks

"If you don't mind walking slowly because I won't be able to catch up if you keep dancing like you were doing just now," Taehyung says and looks at his legs

Jisoo gets embarrassed all of a sudden

"I don't think that you should walk with that leg," she says

Taehyung expected this but still, he feels disappointed. Jisoo doesn't want to spend any time with him and he knows why. It is all his fault. He doesn't say anything and turns back and starts walking towards his house

"Umm-- You can come with me. I am a bit scared actually. I didn't realize that I've come so far" she says

Taehyung stops and looks back

"If you can manage to walk with that" Jisoo says pointing to his leg

Taehyung walks slowly to her and they both start walking together

"It hurt a lot, you know," Taehyung says breaking the silence in between them

"Huh?"

"That punch," he says and starts laughing "I never knew that you could punch that hard" he adds

Jisoo laughs too "I was surprised too but you kept boasting and that made me angry," she says

"Are you going to the trip tomorrow?" Taehyung asks

"Yes, what about you?" Jisoo asks

"I didn't want to before but I guess I am going too" Taehyung replies

"Jisoo?" he says

Jisoo looks at him but Taehyung is looking down

"yes?" Jisoo asks

"I--" Taehyung starts but doesn't finish his sentence

Jisoo waits for him to say what he wants to

"I wish you never met me, I wish I never existed in your life. I ruined everything for you and I know that I don't deserve forgiveness. If I could turn back the time, I wouldn't go back to the time when I cheated on you and change that. Instead, I would go back to the time I first saw you and make sure that I wasn't a part of your life to begin with" he says

Jisoo doesn't look at him, instead, she looks forward

"You know for a while, I wished that too but I am glad that I met you. The Jisoo that I was before was so stupid and naive. I was best friend with Lisa and Rose and it would've been still the same if the things that happened didn't happen. It made me a better person and I got to know the real faces of people" Jisoo replies

"I know that it won't change anything and I've said it before but I am saying it again, I am really sorry Jisoo," Taehyung says

They both reach Jisoo's house

"Here we are. Goodnight Taehyung" Jisoo says completely ignoring his apology

Taehyung watches her enter her house and stands there and looks up at her window. The lights are on and he waits till Jisoo turns the lights off and walks away

***

"Jisoo, here" Seulgi waves at Jisoo seeing her walk inside the bus

Rose and Jungkook are sitting together. Jennie is sitting alone, probably saving her seat for Taehyung. Lisa is also sitting alone

Sehun walks inside the bus and Lisa stands up in the hope that he'll sit next to her but Sehun completely ignores her and sits next to Jimin

Irene walks in too and sees that almost the entire bus is filled. Only the seat beside Jennie and Lisa are empty. She walks towards Jennie but Jennie stops her from sitting down

"Excuse me? This is for Taehyung" she says

Irene doesn't say anything and walks towards Lisa's seat. Lisa puts her bag on it

"You can't sit here either," she says

Sehun sees Lisa behaving the same way again and he doesn't care anymore

"There are no other seats," Irene says

"Then get out" Lisa replies

Irene doesn't know what to do. She starts walking out of the bus but Jisoo stops her

"Irene you can sit here" Jisoo stands up and empties her seat

Seulgi glares at her

"What are you doing?" she says

"Let her sit here" Jisoo replies

Sehun sees that Jisoo is offering Irene her seat, he admires Jisoo for giving her seat up for someone who did nothing but hurt her

"No, it's fine. I'll get on another bus, I guess" Irene replies being surprised that Jisoo offered her help

"Come on, everyone you know is on this bus" Jisoo replies and takes her mini backpack and leave the seat

Irene walks towards her seat

"What about you?" she says

Taehyung walks inside at that moment and looks around

"Here" Jennie waves at him

He sees that the seat beside Lisa is empty and walks towards her

"Can you get up and sit with Jennie?" he says

Lisa looks at him "That seat is for you" she says

"Okay then I'll sit with you," Taehyung says and sits down beside her

Lisa looks at Jennie, she is definitely going to be angry at this

Jisoo knows that Jennie is not going to let her sit with her. So she looks at Seulgi

"I'll be on another bus. We'll meet each other when we get there" She says

Jisoo walks out of the bus and gets on another.

The bus is about to start and suddenly Taehyung gets on the bus. He looks around and finds Jisoo sitting alone

He walks towards her "Can I sit here?" he asks

"You were in that bus, right?" she asks

"yeah and now I am not" he replies

"Taehyung, there are plenty of empty seats on this bus. Please sit somewhere else. I don't want to sit with you" Jisoo says

"It's just a journey" he replies

"Please" Jisoo replies

Taehyung looks around and sees a seat farther away from Jisoo

"Understandable," he says and walks towards that seat and sits down

Jisoo looks out the window and the bus starts its journey.

Taehyung puts his headphones on and closes his eyes

"No matter what I do, she'll always hate me," he says to himself
