From Afar | Winrina

INTRODUCTION

It was Jimin, with Aeri.

Minjeong just stood there as she watched the two interacting from afar. She just stood there, watching how Jimin smiled brightly as soon as Aeri came. She watched them talk, she watched their subtle giggles, 

She just watched, from afar. 

"You okay?" 

She heard Ryujin speak beside her, But Minjeong didn't turn away. Her eyes never left the two. 

Yes.

She's okay.

She's fine.

Minjeong unconsciously clenched her fist.

She should be fine. 

But why is she feeling like this right now?

Why?

Why does it stings?

"Minjeong." Ryujin called her. "Don't look at them."

Minjeong didn't obey.

"Let me." She sternly said. 

This is it, this is what she needs.

A reminder. 

Jimin's smile and laughter…it's all because of Aeri right now.

She should never acknowledge her feelings for Jimin.

She needs to stop.

This needs to stop.

And the past shall continue.

Just like how she watch Jimin from afar, but still feel happy and contended.

It should stay like that.

She'll watch Jimin smiling and being happy. From afar.

Even if it's because of someone else.
