You're frozen in place. You didn't know he would show up, didn't know he'd remember the little promise you both made almost twenty years ago. Jimin looks so different in many ways, but he also still looks the same.

His hair is longer, black strands tucked behind his ears, ears that used to be littered with piercings but now have none. He looks so mature now--of course, it probably has something to do with the age. But he stands taller, confident, more sure of himself. He dresses more maturely, too, and you hope he achieved his dream of starting his own company.

There are fine lines under his eyes and on his forehead, he has a few white strands peeking from his hair, and you can see his smile lines now. He's aged so much from the last time you've seen him (and so have you). Jimin looks so different in many ways, but he also still looks the same.

He still looks like your first love.

"What are you doing here?" you finally ask. Your voice sounds so small, so unsure.

Jimin smiles like he knows something you don't. "Didn't we make that promise all those years ago?"

You nod because of course you remember. How could you forget? How could you forget the words you both exchanged before parting ways, before letting each other go.

Jimin was your first love, all throughout high school till college. High school sweethearts is what everyone called you. You thought you'd be together for the rest of your lives because your love was that strong, that deep, that easy. Because that's how love should be like, right? It should be finding that calmness in each other, being able to be vulnerable and honest and yourself. There's no begging in love, no pleading to each other not to let you go. There should be no lies, no screaming, no harsh words thrown at each other. You shouldn't be having to prove yourself every time.

But somehow, it did turn out that way. You found yourself wanting different things. You found yourself begging to be in Jimin's life. Him telling you to leave, then the next day telling you to stay. You threw harsh words at each other, some words you both regret.

Loving each other became hard along the way, so you chose to let each other go.

But you made a promise to each before saying goodbye for the last time. You promised each other that if you still felt something, that if your heart still held a little piece of him, or if his held a piece of you, that you'd come back to the place you first met, twenty years after saying goodbye.

And you're here now. And so is he.

He says your name gently, and it pulls at your heart. You turn to look into his eyes and you smile. Deep down in your heart, you know.

“However many years we have left, I want to spend them all with you," he says.

Jimin is your first love, and also your last.
