The sound of running water on the sink and the sound of chopping accompanied Hyun Ae and Jin in the kitchen. All except Namjoon had come to her place for a sleepover, and now the eldest and the homeowner were making their dinner while the others had their own time.

"Hyun Ae ah... if the carrots could talk, they would be mad now," Jin chuckled, placing all the chopped ingredients by her into a basket to be washed.

"Huh?" Hyun Ae looked at him blankly, and then she looked down at the carrots, just to find them in uneven sizes. She slapped her forehead, realizing that her mind was somewhere else. "Oh god..."

"Haha. It's okay. We can still eat it," he laughed softly, finally getting all the carrots into the basket and walking towards the sink, starting to wash them. "Is there something on your mind?"

"Just..." she trailed off, as she pulled out some pots to be used by them. She then suddenly turned to Jin. "Oppa, have you seen Namjoon go mad?"

"Mad? Well, annoyed, irritated... maybe? Why?" he asked as he walked towards the kitchen counter and began to sort out the seasonings he wanted to use in his cooking.

"He got mad at me today, at my shop. I was like, 'okay...'" Hyun Ae sighed, leaning against the counter with her arms crossed over her chest, as she continued. "Henry just kissed my cheek because it's just the way they always do. And then he went on 'get yourself some space' bla bla bla..."

"Well, he might be right though," Jin said, turning on the electric stove as he proceeded. "But still, it's your place."

"EXACTLY. Plus, Henry is my friend, that's all!"

Jin turned at her and smiled. "You know what?" he said, reaching his arm out and patting her head softly. "Let me do all the cooking. Take a rest, and clear that mind first. I know that's what you needed now."

"Really?" Hyun Ae asked, and when he nodded, she slowly made her way to the entertainment room. With every step she took, she would glance over her shoulder, somehow feeling guilty for letting Jin alone in the kitchen. But when he showed her an 'okay' sign, she smiled and began to turn the door knob.

Slowly, she opened the door, and she could hear J-Hope's laughter and Jimin's scream resonating throughout the room. She stepped in, getting Jungkook's attention.

"Oh, noona. Come here!" he cheerfully called out, gesturing his hand towards her.

"What are you guys playing?" Hyun Ae asked, walking towards him.

They were all sitting on beanbags, with Jungkook playing against Taehyung, who had his bandana tied around his forehead, making random noises that Hyun Ae couldn't make out.

"Super Mario Kart! Wanna join?" Jungkook asked, his doe eyes won't look away from the LED screen as he was playing.

"Nah, it's okay! But where's Yoongi oppa?"

"Galaxy," Taehyung answered, cracking his knuckles when the game started to load.

"Oh, I'll go see him," Hyun Ae said, and with that she said 'bye' to them and left the room, walking towards her Galaxy studio, then she opened the door. "Hello, Yoongi oppa?"

As she poked her head in, she saw Yoongi sitting by the grand piano, playing elegantly. He was too immersed in his own piece that he didn't even realize Hyun Ae was already standing behind him.

"Ah... I was..."

"No, don't stop. Keep on playing," she said, taking a seat beside Yoongi as he scooted a bit. "I heard you can do freestyle. Show me."

Sheepishly, he cleared his throat and then he landed a finger on the F key, then he began to play the next notes, slowly beginning to create another elegant piece.

"Wah! You're so skillful!" Hyun Ae complimented, clapping her hands as he ended up playing the piano in his freestyle. "Just... you cleared your throat, so I thought you were going to sing too."

"Hahahahaha. No. Now I wanna hear you play," Yoongi said, clasping his hands together before placing them on his knees.

"Huh, me? Nah, I'm not as good as you-"

"Please," he whispered, meeting his eyes with hers.

Hyun Ae bit her lip, and then looked at the piano keys. Slowly, she placed her fingers on the keys, starting to play in her own freestyle.

Yoongi had his eyes closed as he listened to her classical style, and when she ended her play, he clapped his hands. "That's great," he complimented.

"Not as great as you," Hyun Ae chuckled, and then she began to play a song. It took a minute for Yoongi to recognize it.

"'First Love'? By Utada Hikaru?"

"I really love this song. 'First Love'..."

She kept on playing the song, while Yoongi was watching her, who had this one expression that he could feel as if she was missing or longing for someone.

"Hyun Ae ah... Tell me more..." Yoongi began to speak, as softly as he could.

"Hm?" she hummed as she stopped playing, turning at him.

"About your accident," he said, tapping his finger on her left arm softly, "if you don't mind though...

"Oh..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hyun Ae read the notice stuck on the door of the empty space of the building. She peeked inside the space and began to snap a photo of the notice.

"Hm... I think this place is good," she whispered to herself, examining the outside of the building, before looking around her. "Secluded. Quiet. Fewer customers. Confirmed. Perfect."

She began to hum happily, as she left the area. Her focus was more on her phone as she contacted the owner of the empty space for further discussions. When the owner began to give her quick responses, her excitement doubled up, making her lose her focus on her surrounding.

"Look out!"

Suddenly a guy hugged her from behind, trying to get her off the road before a fast car could hit her from behind.

But to the guy's surprise, his shoulder took the hit, and both of them were thrown toward the side of the road, and he placed his hands behind her head, protecting her from any injuries to be inflicted on her.

"Ah!!! My arm..." Hyun Ae sobbed heavily, holding onto her left arm. Wincing in pain, both of them sat up, facing each other as she grasped onto her bloody left arm and the guy was holding onto his left shoulder.

"Can you stand up?" the guy asked through his mask, obviously shaking.

Hyun Ae got her vision blurred from her non-stop tears, making it hard for her to see his face. But to his question earlier, she nodded while sobbing.

The guy helped her to her feet, making sure her head was against his left shoulder, and hugged her to his side, his free hand covering her bloody arm. "Let's get you to the hospital," he shakily whispered.

"Um, excuse me..." Hyun Ae called out to the receptionist on duty at the emergency lobby. As a staff reached her, she cleared her throat. "Um... My name is Park Hyun Ae. Bill for my treatment?"

The staff turned to her computer and began to type in her name. Hyun Ae watched the staff as her eyes scanned the screen intently before she turned to her.

"Oh, it has already been paid," the staff said.

"What? Who paid it?"

"Your friend," the staff smiled and stared blankly at Hyun Ae. But when the staff realized the weird look from Hyun Ae, she knew that something wasn't right. "The guy in... black jacket..."

"I don't know him," Hyun Ae instantly answered, placing both of her arms on top of the counter, her left hand was fully bandaged. "He's involved in the accident with me. Did he get any treatment?"

"No. He said he's fine and you're the only one who was injured."

"I saw him holding his shoulder that time! He must've broken a bone or something-" Hyun Ae paused, letting out a sigh as she covered her face with her right hand. Then she looked back at the staff. "May I know his name?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I couldn't believe that staff never told me his name. He had told her to keep it a secret," Hyun Ae huffed, pushing one key on the piano repeatedly; an annoyed look on her face was visible to Yoongi, who remained quiet.

"I only met him that day. I only remembered his eyes when he was still hugging me during the fall..." Hyun Ae turned to him, who looked dazed while staring at her with a blankly look. "Oppa? Yoongi oppa?"

"Um... " he mumbled, then he took a sharp breath in and tilted his head. "Do you still remember him? I mean his face..."

"It was around two or three years ago when I was looking for a place for my café, so haha..." Hyun Ae scratched the back of her head, laughing weakly. "Why did you ask?"

"Because I think I know that person. He told me the same story but from his side."

The statement made Hyun Ae freeze on her spot. Her eyes blinked at him, feeling surprised. "You're kidding me. Really?!"

"But I need proof that it was him," Yoongi nodded his head, looking down at the piano keys, letting his fingers press on two different keys alternately.

"I remembered that he might've slipped a note into my bag that time," she revealed, making him turn at her again, before she continued, "and I still have it in this room. Let me show you-"

"Dinner time!" suddenly Jin called out. More like a shout because even with the door closed, he was so loud, making both Hyun Ae and Yoongi jump in their spots, before someone knocked on the door and pushed the door open. "Come on, both of you!" Jin called out as he pushed the door, slowly opening itself.

"Oh... okay," Hyun Ae nodded, then they watched as Jin left. She giggled before both of them stood up. "Maybe I can show it to you later."

"Nah, it's fine. Let's go," Yoongi said, patting her shoulder then they walked towards the door.

"Wait," Yoongi stopped as his hand grabbed the knob. Hyun Ae got confused as she looked at him. "Summing everything up... so he was your..."

When Yoongi met her eyes, she laughed, covering her mouth. Then she pushed a part of her hair behind her ear, with a shy smile as she said...

"My first love."

No, no, no, no... Have I always been right?
