I was enjoying the cool summer breeze after getting out of the cafe with my two Carmel macchiatos in one hand and a bag which contained an apple crumble pie in another while I was on the way to work.

As soon as I entered inside the office, was greeted by the security guard followed by one of my co workers.

"Hey y/n! Good morning!" Dong, one of my employee welcomed me with a warm smile.

"Hey Dong! How are you doing? How was your sister's baby shower yesterday?"

"It was great! She was so surprised when she saw everything, she had zero clue about it so it was well worth all the effort we put in" we carried on speaking for a few more minutes before we parted ways inside the building.

After I put one of the drinks and the apple crumble ple in the cubicle's desk next to mine, waited for my co-worker to arrive.

I couldn't wait for her to see the delicacy, it was literally the last piece and had never seen anyone enjoy this dessert as much as her.

Speaking of the devil, chul arrived and I could see by her face that she was shocked to see her favourite dessert on her desk.

"Omg y/n! Did you get it for me? Thank youuu!" she hugged me while I embraced her back.

Chul became a good friend of mine, we obviously knew each other for years but the last three years, our relationship blossomed from colleagues to friends.

In a way, she's the one who made me see the world in a different light. She always appreciated the small things in life and she always tried to see the good in people.

These qualities made me appreciate her even more.

To an extent, I think her bright personality rubbed off on me which I didn't have a problem with.

Ever since I entered my thirties, I felt this new found freedom which might have played a part as well.

A lot of people say that your thirties are the best years of your life and I'm not going to lie, it was and I would wholeheartedly agree with that statement.

You just live your life for yourself. You don't necessarily stop caring about others but you don't let any negativity bother you anymore as long as you don't hurt anyone.

Since I didn't really get to enjoy my twenties, I wanted to have double the fun in my thirties.

I re-discovered all the things I loved and was pretty much trying to live in the moment.

"I found a new restaurant that opened a few streets down the road, let's go there with Joe and Sung this weekend!" she added in between the conversation we were having.

"Hmm that sound like a great idea" I replied knowing that food was always a good idea.

After we settled down in our respective desks and started working, I received my first call of the day at work. "Miss Yang speaking, how can I help?"

"It's Eun speaking, Mr. Park requested you to bring the Cher files to his cabin please"

"No problem, I'll bring the files in a minute"

"Thank you, y/n" Eun said with her usual soft tone that would bring calmness to anyone within a second before hanging up the call.

had been working all night yesterday to complete these documents, it was a last minute request but I didn't want to do the bare minimum.

If there was something I was extremely proud of, it was my skills and the only way I could show it is through my work and not words.

After knocking on the door, I entered inside my boss' cabin after hearing his approval. As always, he was working and completely focused on the desktop computer in front of him whilst his hands were busy with the documents on his desk.

"Mr. Park, here are the files you requested" I carefully placed the paperwork on the corner of his desk in order not to mix them with the other paperwork which were scattered all over the place.

"Thank you, Miss Yang. I'll check them up and call you if there is anything to update or change" he said while his full attention was on the screen. I took it as my cue to leave but he called me before I could leave his cabin.

"Uh! Y/n can you come here please!" jimin looked at me with a soft smile which I reciprocated. "Sure, why not!" 1 answered and went to him.

And as soon as I reached him, he suddenly pulled me and mad eme sit on his lap. "Yahh! Mr. Par-"

"It's baby for you, my love!!" he smiled cheekily, which made me roll my eyes, playfully.

"How many times do I have to tell you to be professional here!!" I scolded him making him pout.

"But what can I do....I just can't stay away from you! Can you?" His pout widened making me sigh, and wrap my arms around his neck.

"We'll soon get married baby! Then you don't have to...but till then you have to wait!!" I said and quickly stood up, only to get pulled back again.

"You don't even know how long have I waited for this, waited for you, okay? So you better don't make me wait anymore!" He said with a wide smile on his face.

I giggled. "okay now can you let me go Mr park." I asked.

"My kiss?" He aksed din his usual excited tone. As I was about to give in, I quickly stood up went across his table. "Yah-"

"Be professional, Mr park." I remarked before leaving the cabin.

"Aish! This girl...be thankful that I love you." He shouted making me laugh and blush at the same time.

While I was walking down that floor, I couldn't believe that in the same room three years ago, so many things unfolded and were thrown at me with such force that I was surprised by the end of it, I was still standing on my two feet. That day opened up a new chapter in my life.

I did forgive jimin way before my other two bosses spoke for obvious reasons. He wasn't the one who created the mess that was put in and I couldn't blame him for the actions of others either.

And also in these few years, he really did his best to make me fall for him which he gladly succeed. Like, who wouldn't fall for a person who has a lot of money, good looks, personality and what not? Right??

But no...I didn't fall for him for his money , or his wealth....but for his kindness and adoration for me. He loves me, for who I am, and waited for me for so many years even though he knew I won't accept him.

His kindness, generosity and love for me is enough for me to feel the same way.

If there was one person who I had to blame and show my hatred towards, it was Jungkook.

He was the main instigator. Along with jennie and Mia who became pawns to their own jealousy and hatred they built on themselves.

After speaking or more like after my two other bosses unraveled the new pieces of information, couldn't even hold any remaining hatred had built upon jimin, but love instead.

It wasn't because of his health condition or because of the fact he helped those who ruined my life get their own pieces of karma but it was because we both were in the same boot.

We both were victims of the some situation. The only difference was that I was put in this situation because of Jungkook whilst Jimin did it to himself.

As I was going through the same health condition, I could sympathise with him very well.

The lack of sleep & appetite, loneliness and the haunting nightmares- those were beyond simple terms.

These all took a physical and mental toll on ourselves. The more I attended therapy, the more I realised that it would be something that I would have to live with for the rest of my life.

There wasn't going to be a finish line where we would be magically recover from our trauma, we had to learn to cope with it. There will be good and bad days.

It's something that all victims fallen into it will have to live, and Jimin & I weren't any exception.

I remembered the words of my therapist. "We can't contral.everything that happens but we con control the way it affects us and how we respond to what happens and that is one power.no one can take it away from us."

After telling him about what had happened, those were the only words he told me but I understood his intention.
