"Yoongi oppa, answer me," Hyun Ae begged, sniffing as she grabbed his arm. "The one who had saved me a few years ago. It was you, right?"

"Look, Hyun Wook might be waiting for you, so let's just-" Yoongi immediately cut himself by getting out of the car.

"Oppa!" she shouted, immediately left the car too, and ran towards him, grabbing his arm and turning him around.

"Yes, it was!" he finally revealed, shocking her. "It was me."

"Why did you hide it from me?" she whispered, sobbing as she took a step closer to him.

"I realized it myself after you showed me the note. The note that I left for you."

"Why did you never say anything to me?"

"Girl, you're head over heels for Namjoon, almost all of the time. And because of that, I decided to just keep quiet about it."

Yoongi's explanation had made her frustrated. It was all too much for her to process in her mind, moreover after Jungkook's confession.

"I... I..." she mumbled and cried. "I'm so sorry. I should've noticed, I should've realized- I... I don't know what to do-"

"Hyun Ae, shh..." Yoongi softly spoke as he hugged her. She immediately wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly. "Don't blame yourself, please. It's okay, it's fine."

"But I've hurt you all this while-"

"No, stop. I told you it's fine. This is why I don't want to tell you," Yoongi said, planting kisses on her head affectionately.

"You were my first love... You were my first love," Hyun Ae repeated. She pulled her head away, but still being in his arm, and whispered, "I am so sorry."

"The past is in the past," he smiled, and tears began to leave his eyes too. "I was the one to blame. I should've stayed by you on that day, yet I chose to leave you. I was so stupid. I'd never thought to actually meet you again. My dear, you don't know how happy I was that night when I saw you on the stage. Years had passed, and there you are."

"I've always wanted to tell you everything, but I was a coward. When it comes to you, I am always a coward. I don't want to lose you again," he sniffed, as he let his hand find its spot in her waist. "But at the end... You chose to leave. You chose to leave me, you chose to leave Namjoon, you chose to leave all of us."

At this point, Yoongi was so sad, he began to sob heavily, leaning his forehead against hers.

"Hyun Ae, I don't want you to leave. Please... If I can't have you, that's fine. Seeing you around, hearing you laugh, every time you step into the room... all that is enough for me."

"I'm sorry..." she whispered, her thumbs beginning to wipe away his tears as she went on. "But I can't. I've chosen this. I just want my normal life back, and this is the only way."

She stood on her toes, and placed a kiss on his forehead, whispering: "Thanks for all the care you gave to me. I... I'm so dumb. I-I can't forgive me, I'm so stupid..."

"No, no," Yoongi shook his head. There was a moment of silence, and both of them were standing there in each other's arms.

Their love finally reunited, but sadly... not for long. Maybe not in this world.

First love tragedy.

"Hyun Ae," Yoongi whispered, almost inaudible, but he got her attention.

He placed his hands behind her neck and whispered again. "Can I..."

Slowly, the distance between them lessened, and their lips finally found each other.

Not a drunk kiss this time, but a kiss filled with love, passion, and longing.

Their first love kiss.

Hyun Ae found the kiss was so right. Yet still wrong for her.

Because her love was truly for Namjoon. Only Namjoon now.

Yoongi got lost in the intense kiss. One of his hands went up to her head and pulled her in more, deepening the kiss. They broke the kiss for a moment, and kissed again, this time french-kissing each other.

Hyun Ae knew she needed the kiss so much when she let out a groan, but right now she wanted to do it with the other one so much.

After a while, they finally broke the kiss.

Staring at each other's bruised wet lips, their foreheads still touching and still in each other's arms, catching their breaths.

On that final night, Hyun Ae finally found her first love, and Yoongi finally reunited with the girl he had fallen in love with ever since he saved her.

Having a loving moment for a short time meant a lot to both of them.

"Promise me one thing, Hyun Ae," Yoongi muttered, still catching his breath. "Promise me that I will see your smile again," he said, placing one last kiss on her lips, before finally releasing her from his hug.

He glanced at her arm, where the faded long scar of her wound was. "I'm happy to know that I'm part of the story of this scar."

"Take care, my dear. I love you," he said, caressing her hair and then placing his hand on her cheek, which then she leaned onto as her tears kept on coming. "I love you so much. So, please... Be happy. Always be happy. Even though you're with someone else, as long as it makes you happy."

"Namjoon... I don't know when he will come to you. You have a few more days before we depart, so spend your time with him. Fill yourself with happiness for being with him," Yoongi smiled, grabbing both of her hands in his and kissing them a few times, before giving her a final hug.

Slowly, he let go of her hands and made his way back to his car.

He sat in the car for a while to calm himself down, but his eyes won't leave her, who was still crying. He immediately started his car engine and quickly make a three-point turn in the area.

"Yoongi..." Hyun Ae breathed out as the car began to leave the area. Hyun Ae finally fell to the ground, crying hard all alone.

"All this while... He was by my side... How stupid can you be, Park Hyun Ae?"

*****

Hyun Ae was flustered at both Jungkook's and Yoongi's confessions. Both happened suddenly, and it really had blown her mind away.

Hyun Ae stared at the note.

The note that answered everything.

She let her finger trace the handwriting, before putting it into a box with other kinds of stuff, covering it with its lid, and pushing it under her bed.

Sighing, she looked around her big room, and a framed selfie of her with Namjoon on her bedside table caught her attention.

She couldn't deny the fact that he was the one that she missed so much.

"He's not going to see me. He hates me," she grunted, and threw herself on her bed, picking up her phone and staring at the lock screen.

A photo of smiling Namjoon with his significant dimple.

"Joon... where are you? I missed you... I need you so much, right now..." she spoke to herself, and she began to bite her bottom lip.

I want you...

Two days had passed since she last met Yoongi, and Namjoon never texted or called her, but despite all that, she understood it because she was the one who had decided to break up with him.

"Stupid girl. You're the one that left him. And now you're looking for him. Stupid-"

Ding dong.

"Huh? Who's coming at this hour?" Hyun Ae asked herself, as she sat up at the sound of the doorbell.

She knew that it couldn't be Hyun Wook because he usually got home at midnight and had his keys.

The bell rang again, so she quickly launched the surveillance camera app on her phone, and saw a tall guy with a black leather jacket and a backpack on his shoulder, standing outside the gate.

Hyun Ae cried, and without thinking much, she ran out of her room to the monitor by the entrance. And she was right.

It was Namjoon who was standing outside the gate with a paper bag in his hand, pressing the bell again.

"Namjoon... oppa?" she called out through the mic on the monitor.

"Hey, um... Sorry that I didn't inform you. I just finished all my work earlier so..."

"J-J-J-Just come in. I'll make drinks. I'll unlock the gate and the front door. Just don't forget to lock it back."
