“happy valentine’s day, __.” jimin smiles as you answer his call almost right away.
for the first time in a while, you really think that in this relationship, something has changed. good or bad? you don't know, but you’ll stick around to find the final pieces whether it's shattered or not.
for a while, you and jimin had been feuding over the smallest things due to stress. with balancing school and work, there just never seems to be a right time to get together and talk about it. if someone had asked you just a few weeks ago how you and jimin were doing, you wouldn’t know what to say. of course, you both loved each other very much, but it seemed like the universe was trying to split you both up.
valentine’s day was just another excuse to hold onto the fragments of your not so perfect relationship.
“hey jimin. happy valentine’s day. do you not have work today?” you expected him to be busy, as always.
“no. i told them i wasn’t going to be there today. i wanted to spend time with you. i know we’ve gone through a rough patch but i really want to make up for it today.
come with me to angel cafe? please?”
“of course, anything for you jimin.” you smile, reminiscing in the memories of angel cafe where you first met him.
you remember the smile on his face as he enters the glass doors, being utterly amazed by his beauty. you remember when he laughs at you, asking you if you couldn’t take your eyes off of him, when he tells you that he didn’t expect an angel like you to show up. you didn’t know he was going to be a major part in your life.
you get up and quickly get changed into an outfit jimin would like. you put on your jacket, zipping it up. about to leave, you put on the perfume jimin had given you on your birthday.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
you push the right door open, immediately spotting jimin in the register ordering. once he finishes, you greet him with a back hug.
he gives you the bundle of pink roses in his hand, face lighting up when his eyes finds yours. he smiles as he pulls you into a hug, his head hiding into the crook of your neck.
“_, you came. im so happy to see you, it's been a while.” it truly has. sometimes, you wondered when you’d finally see him again.
today, you promised yourself that whatever happened in the past stayed there. today was made for pure joy, and you wanted you and jimin to be happy. after all, you both were together from the foundation of the happiness and love you received from each other.
“i missed you.” you did, a lot.
“i missed you too.” he pulls away from the hug and gestures to one of the empty tables.
he pulls your chair out and you sit down, waiting for your order to be called. not wanting it to be awkward, you quickly think of something to say but jimin beats you to it.
“same as usual. just very busy, that’s all.” he frowns, thinking about something deeply.
“what’s wrong jimin?” you knew what was wrong, your relationship. but you didn’t want to admit it, you didn’t want to lose him.
“_.. i love you. you know that right?” his face is unreadable. you didn’t know how to respond to that. sure, you know he loves you but you were afraid of what he’d say after.
“jimin.. yes, i do know.”
“i’m sorry. we need to end this.” your heart breaks. you thought this would be a new step in your relationship. you thought this would make you both put more effort into each other. but you were wrong. so wrong.
“you know that too, _. we can’t just keep waiting around for each other. i love you but that love is not strong enough for us to last. i want you to be happy, and you just can’t be that with me. maybe in another universe, we could exist. but it won’t be this one. i’m sorry _, i love you.”
you’re speechless as he walks out of those same glass doors you first met him, eyes blurring from the tears you’ve been holding in. you grab your bag and quickly run away, avoiding the pitiful stares from strangers who witnessed the painful breakup.
you wondered where it all went wrong. maybe when you guys argued, or maybe when you guys didn’t make time for each other. maybe it was when you first met, when you both were destined to meet, only to shatter both of your hearts.
it hurts to think that it was inevitable and that you both would never last. and you knew that. you had already known that maybe this is how the relationship would end, but it still feels so unfamiliar.
no one could ever prepare you for the heartbreak you faced. it hurts even more to know that you both are equally broken but can’t do anything to help each other. you wished for it to end.
you need to accept that you both were meant to teach each other lessons, and move on. that’s the least you could do for each other. be happy.
no matter how perfect you and jimin’s relationship used to be, you know that you’ll move on. you always do. and that’s what you did.
