“Mina..” Jisoo said softly as she lowered her gaze to the floor. “Professor Kim..”

She bowed her head a little.

“It’s been a long time..”

A very long time.. five years.. is a very long time..

She knew it was inevitable.. she knew she’d meet him again now that she’s returned to Seoul..

But she didn’t expect to meet him this soon..

And specially not with Mina..

The gods must be having a blast now.. how could they let them meet like this?

“I almost didn’t recognize you..” said Mina smiling onesidedly as she glanced at Taehyung who was staring at Jisoo.

“Professor Kim.. do you remember her? She was a student in your class..”

Taehyung clenched his fists.

How can he not remember her? How can he not recognize her?

She wasn’t just a student to him.. she wasn’t just a neighbor.. or a friend..

She was the woman he loved.. and the woman he hurt..

“I’m sorry but.. we are late for dinner.. we need to go now..” said Jisoo bowing her head quickly before walking away from there.

RM cleared his throat.

He knows he has to explain this to Taehyung.. but he doesn’t know where to start..

He was about to approach him when Taehyung spoke..

“Mina and I are also going to a dinner.. we can talk later hyung..” he said as he walked away.

Mina followed after him.

“I didn’t know Jisoo came back already.. I heard she went to Paris to study..”

Taehyung stopped and turned to her.

“She went to Paris to study?” he asked repeating after her.

How come he didn’t know anything about it?

Is that the reason why she disappeared?

Did she quit college because of that?

“She worked there for two years as far as I know..” Mina continued. “Our classmates were talking about her accomplishments the last time I met with them..”

Taehyung let out a sigh.

It seems like Jisoo was doing well all these years..

That’s a relief..

————————


“You seem bothered..” said RM as he parked on the side.

After having a quick dinner, he drove Jisoo home.

“I was just surprised..” Jisoo answered. “I didn’t expect to see them..”

“You mean to see them together?” asked RM turning to her.

Jisoo took a deep breath.

“Probably..” she said softly as she held on the seatbelt.

RM unbuckled it for her.

“Mina has been following Taehyung around for years.. she must be the most loyal woman I have ever seen..” he said smiling. “I wonder why she never gets tired..”
