"Where have you been? Your dad is very mad." Seokjin said as he look at Irene.

"Oh come on. We both know that we doesn't like this shitty arranged marriage. We ain't living like those shitty characters inside a fiction stories" Irene said as she chuckles.

"So.. You want to say something?" Seokjin asked.

Jisoo gulped at a thought.

"W-Well.. I may not be sure if you're still into me.. I-I mean. Of course why would you still be into me when I rejected and left you for 8 years. How silly of me right?" Jisoo started and ends with a nervous laugh.

"Jin I-" Jisoo paused for a bit to think if she's doing the right decision.

"You what?" Seokjin asked.

"I love you." Jisoo said as she looks down.

Seokjin was immobilized.

"T-That's all. I just thought you have the rights to know. It started at the nurse's office when Jennie was brought there by me and you visited. I.. I rejected the three of you because I don't think I can handle long distance relationship and I might not come back. But how lucky am I to still come back here" Jisoo said as she chuckles softly.

Seokjin looks at her in awe.

"Hey." Seokjin called as he raised Jisoo's chin with his index finger and thumb.
