Forget Him (Part 2) [JK]

Don't Close His Chapter

{SoonHee's POV}

"SoonHee? Are you feeling okay? You didn't show up to work today", I hear my boss from the diner ask me over the phone as I walk around my messy bedroom.

"Yea I'm okay. I have a huge hangover, though", I reply and I hear my boss sigh.

"I'll let you off the hook since I know you're hardworking and that I can trust you. Are you going to be able to come to work tomorrow?"

"Yep", I reply and I can practically hear the smile in his voice, "great! Feel better soon. Drink lots of orange juice and soup!"

With those final words, he hangs up the call and I toss my phone onto the bed. I walk out of my room and into the bathroom attached to it.

I look different compared to a year ago..

Maybe it's just my short hair that makes me look different.

I shrug as I continue to look at myself in the mirror. I take a piece of hair and look away from the mirror to look at the short strand.

Jungkook loves long hair..

I shake my head of the thought and place my hand on my chest.

God damnit why do I keep doing that?

I keep wanting to grab onto that locket, as if it were still around my neck.

Whatever, getting rid of that necklace is helping me move on.

It's helping me get rid of the memories.

Slowly, but surely.

My heart and head aches as I stand there, staring at this stranger in the mirror.

Who am I?

Sometimes, I feel like I don't recognize myself. I feel like I've become someone foreign.

I remember the days before I met Jungkook, and looking at me now, I realize that I've changed.

I'm not the same girl that I was 3 and a half years ago.

I remember giving Jungkook advice about moving on from his ex, MinAh.

And now that I'm experiencing this same pain that he had felt, I feel that the advice doesn't seem to work.

I remember telling him to think of MinAh as some sort of short story that has ended. I remember telling him to close that chapter of her and to start a new one.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the other one that has opened for us.

I glance at my reflection in the mirror and shake my head.

What if I have trouble closing the door in the first place? Then what?

How do I close that door and find the new one that has opened for me?

Don't close Jungkooks chapter..

The following words whisper delicately through my aching head and I grimace at my own reflection.

I have to close that chapter of my life! I must start anew!

You know you still love him.

No! I don't!

You know you still miss him.

Shut up! I do not!

You want him to come back to you, don't you?

No! I don't!
