DAHYUN'S POV

Five years later...

"Congratulations~ Congratulations~" my brothers sang after I went down from the stage. They hugged me and messed my hair. Wow, I can't believe that I finally graduated college! I feel so old now because I'm already 23 years old. Oh my god.

"Thank you so much, oppas!" I hugged all of them. They smiled before me. "Wait, where's dad?" I asked.

"Oh, he's at the company--"

"Did I miss my daughter's graduation?"

"Dad!" I ran into dad's arms when he showed up. We embraced each other very tightly. "I thought you'll pass this celebration!"

"I wouldn't ever do that to my one and only daughter." He cupped my cheeks and I showed him my eyesmile. He then pinched my cheeks. "I'm sorry for being late. I fixed something at the company."

"More important than me?"

"It's your future, dear. I assured you a position in our company already." My mouth went 'O' after hearing what dad said. I feel so excited to work! "Company secretary and I got you the best bodyguard as well."

"Wow, really?" He smiled and let my face go. It means that I'll be serving at our family's company as a secretary and I've got a personal bodyguard already. I'll be working with my brothers! Finally! "When will I start?"

"You can start by Monday. I'll let you rest for a few days, but we'll still hold an interview for you." I nodded and hugged him again. I thanked him for giving me such a nice and grand graduation gift.

"Where do you want to eat, Dahyun?" Tae oppa asked, grinning. I started thinking where should we go and eat. I can't think of any good restaurants since my family took me to all of the restaurants here.

"Let's just eat at home. I had the maids prepare some food." Dad suggested. We nodded and went home, but I suddenly remembered that this is a very special day.

Other than my graduation, today is the day where Jimin will go out from jail.

"Dad, let's make a U-turn. I have to see Jimin." I told him.

"Is today the day?" He asked, so I nodded. "Mr. Ahn, please make a U-turn." He told the driver. My heart is thumping, pumping, beating, pounding really fast! I'm so nervous and excited at the same time. I didn't know that five years will be just this fast.

We stopped at the court because Jimin is there, waiting for us. He told me yesterday to wait at the court after the judgement. He said that he'll be waiting here.

"Want us to go with you?" Tae oppa asked. I faced him and shook my head. He grinned and they watched me go.

My whole body is shaking. I will finally see him. I can finally hug him. I can finally kiss him. I can finally be with him. I can finally marry him. I've waited five years for this.

I entered the courtroom, but my shoulders fell when I saw nothing except for the janitor that is cleaning up. "Jimin," I called for him, but no one's responding. "Jimin!" I called out with a louder voice.

"Miss," I glanced at the janitor who stopped mopping the floor. "Everybody left already. The jurisdiction just finished an hour ago."

"An hour ago?" He nodded. "O-Okay, thank you." I stepped out of the courtroom with a blank mind. I don't know what's happening. I am completely zoned out right now. What just happened? Did he leave me? No, not at my graduation day. I don't want to think that he left me, but I can't help thinking of it. What if he really did, right?

Did he lie to me just like what he did to Mina before? All of his sweet words and sincere actions, are they lies? How could he do this to me? I trusted and loved him to the best of my ability.

I stood there for a few seconds with my eyes closed, wishing that Jimin will actually pop out of nowhere, but after a few more seconds and minutes...

I saw no Jimin.

I started tearing up as I continue to mumble silently that everything is just a dream. Everything is just a bad dream and I have to wake up already, but it's not. It's reality.

I felt something warm on my shoulder, so I immediately turned around to see if it was Jimin, but it's not. It's Jin oppa.

"Oppa..." I hugged him and cried on his chest. I felt his bare hands caress my hair. "...J-Jimin left me." He didn't say anything. I know what my brother is thinking. Maybe he's thinking that he needs to find Jimin for me. I know him. He'll do every possible thing to make me happy.

"Ssh, stop crying," he whispered. "I'll inform dad about this and ask for his help to find Jimin." He then cupped my face and wiped my tears using his thumb. He smiled, probably assuring me not to worry. "Don't worry. He'll be fine and you will be, too. For now, let's go home. We must celebrate because this is a happy day." He kissed my forehead and led me back to our car.

Once I hopped in, all of them are worried of how I look like. My eyes, nose, cheeks and lips are probably red right now. I bet they knew that I cried because of how I look. I then noticed Jin oppa whispering something to dad. He must've said that Jimin is nowhere to be found inside the court.

Dad glanced at me quickly and assured me a smile. A smile that means that I should stop worrying.

I actually didn't notice that I fell asleep during the whole trip. Joon oppa was the one who woke me up from my sleep. I don't know why, but as soon as I woke up, my heart is just sinking. Maybe it's because of the fact that Jimin ran away from me.

I sighed and gazed over at the mansion in front of me. It's been five years since I started living here. It's been five years since dad took me in and I met my brothers. It's been five years since I found out that I was arranged into marriage by granddad and dad himself. It's been five years since I first saw Jimin inside the classroom with Mina in his arms. It's been five years since I started liking him even deeper. It's been five years since he was sent to jail and I was the one who's with him when the world actually turned away from him. It's been five years since he also said that he loves me.

"Dahyun, aren't you coming?" Joon oppa asked. I looked at him and half-smiled.

"I will." I answered and followed him. He opened the screendoor of the house and there I saw a surprise waiting for me.

"SURPRISE!" They all yelled, but the only thing that caught my attention is Jimin, holding a bouquet of flowers for me. He walked slowly towards me and there I stood like a statue looking like an idiot.

"Congratulations," he mumbled smilingly. I suddenly teared up and started hitting his chest. "Hey, don't cry." He said in a very sweet tone, enough for my heart to melt. I heard the others' teasing which made me smile a little.

"I hate you. You fooled me." I said as I hit his chest repeatedly, showing some aegyo. "Park Jimin-ah!"

"It's a good surprise, right?" He smirked. "Hey, I've got a bigger surprise." He lifted up my chin and smiled which made my heart go wild. Oh god, he's the only man that can make my heart pump like that.

"What is that?" I asked, pouting.

He chuckled and from behind, he took something. He slowly kneeled down in front of me and opened the ring box. I covered my mouth with my bare hands and felt my tears flow out again.

"I know that we're arranged already, but I wanted to make it official." He chuckled. "Will you be my wife, Kim Dahyun?" I wasn't able to answer right away because of my feelings. They all laughed at the way I handled the situation.

Because of my feelings, I just nodded quickly and repeatedly as I offered him my hand. He took it, inserted that diamond ring on my ring finger and kissed it. He then stood up and cupped my face. I can't believe that he's also crying.

I took his collar and kissed him as I place my hands on his nape and his hands wraps around my waist.
