The Better Ones [JeongMin]

Chapter 24: Closure I

The Parks were already having dinner when Jeongyeon came back from the other Parks' house. She looked tired but pleased overall.

Jihyo: Oh? Why are you so early? Weren't you having dinner at Jimin's place?

Jeongyeon: I'd rather not. Remember, I almost killed the only son of the household.

Hye Eun: Oh yeah, smart move. Come here and eat with us now.

Jihyo: It looks like everything went well. How was it?

Jeongyeon: Everything went well indeed.

Sejeong: So Jimin forgave you? Woah. How silly.

Jeongyeon: Tss. I know, I know. I did not deserve it.

Hye Eun: Glad that you are aware of it!

Jeongyeon: Mrs. Park?? 🫥🫥

Hye Eun: Wae? After almost drowning him?? Do you really think you deserved that forgiveness?

Jeongyeon: Then why did you even push me to go there? 😒

Hye Eun: Again, it was the decent thing to do.

Jeongyeon placed her bag on the sofa and then sat next to Bo-ah afterward. Hye Eun's eldest daughter nudged Jeongyeon with her elbow to show support.

Bo-ah: Don't be harsh on her.

Jihyo: Ne, don't be harsh. Remember, she was just rejected.

Sejeong: *chuckled* You're so mean!

Jeongyeon: 😑😑😑

Jihyo: Anyway, are you getting over it now? Or are you still holding on?

Jeongyeon: This is so awkward...

Bo-ah: It's alright. Sometimes, you just have to get it off your chest. Try it.

Jeongyeon: Uhhhh. Well, I feel pathetic and, like, a big part of me was stolen away. I actually asked him to get away from me. I said I no longer want to be friends with him.

Jihyo: Huh. That's impossible, knowing how Taehyung is. He won't let go of you.

Sejeong: Ne, and he still joins your group.

Jeongyeon: I am being civil with him. He's friends with everyone else anyway.

Hye Eun: Why would you cut him off from your life like that? He was always supportive of you, why can't you be to him? I know it would be hard to move on since he's your first love... I'm guessing... but do not waste someone as good as him.

Jeongyeon: I feel like if I won't let him go completely, my feelings will never go away.

Hye Eun: Someone will make it go away in time. It could be Jimin, it could be someone else. We wouldn't know.
