_______’s P.O.V

How many years has it been since he left? 8 years… 9 years maybe for all I know. Since that day, I haven’t heard of him. I never saw him ever again.

Flashback

“Hyunjung-ie, let’s go out and play!” I said while knocking on the door. After a few knocks, I gave up. He usually opens the door after the first knock. I went to Eunja ahjumma’s house next door to ask what happened since Eunja ahjumma and Hyunjung’s umma are bestfriends.

“Ahjumma, please open the door,” I said sweetly.

“Coming. Ah, _______. What brings you here?” Ahjumma asked as she opened the door.

“I came here to ask where Hyunjung is. Do you know where he is?” I asked in hope that ahjumma knows the answer.

“Oh, he left for America this morning. Didn’t he tell you?”

America? Why? When? How?

“America?! Jinjja? Nevermind ahjumma. Kamsahamnida for your help. Good bye!” I said while fake-smiling.

What? He left for America? Why didn’t he tell me? After all we’ve been through together. He didn’t even fulfil the promises he made. “We’ll always be together forever, _______” Hyungjung once said to me. Together forever my . Were all those promises just lies? Did they really mean nothing at all to him? Just to think that I had a MAJOR crush on him. Am I really nothing to him? 

Tears started streaming down my face. I quickly ran to my special hiding place. Our special hiding place. We had so many memories there together.

Present

‘Wae? Wae did you leave me all alone? Do you know how hard it is for me to be the happy person I used to be without you? It was like hell without you. I locked myself in my room for a few weeks, only going out when I need to go to school and eat. Then, I thought it was stupid and worthless to put all my trust in you. I started to despise you for leaving me. Then, I started to despise myself for trusting you. Forget about all that . ‘Damn, damn, damn. What I’d do to have you here, here, here. I wish you were here.’ I finally understood what those lyrics meant. I thought that song was stupid at first but now, I can totally relate. Aish, here I go again. I kept thinking about how depressing this is. It did benefit me, though. It made me stronger, wittier, more sarcastic. Well, it benefited ME. I never said it benefited anyone else. *shrugs shoulders* I think I need some ice-cream.

I went downstairs to see whether I had some ice-cream. Unfortunately, I don’t. I quickly grabbed my phone and put on my coat. I started heading towards my favourite ice-cream parlour.

At the ice-cream parlour

Let’s see…. I haven’t been here in awhile. Scanning potential treat… scanning potential treat… Processing options… Loading options… Aha!

“Excuse me, miss. I’ll have-“

“two mint chocolate chips, please. I’ll pay for both,” The mysterious male said.

“Ahjussi, I can order and pay for-“

“_______-ah, stop being stubborn as always and follow me,” Wait, how did he?

“How did you-“

“The name’s Hyunjung. Park Hyunjung,”

“Look, mister. I’m honoured-“

“Your welcome. Now, ppali!”

Oh. My. Freaking. Gosh. THIS CREEPY STALKING AHJUSSI WON’T EVEN LET ME FINISH MY OWN- Wait. What? Hyunjung? As in Park Hyunjung? As in my old bestfriend? As in-

“Hello, Earth to _______. I know you’re too happy until I got you speechless but that doesn’t-Owww. What was that for?” He asked as I gave him one of my killer punches. I told you it made me stronger. Literally. Mentally and physically.

“That’s for scaring the living daylights out of me and also for not letting me finish my own sentences… and this-“ I said as I punched him again “-is for leaving me all alone this past few years. I’d love to beat the crap out of you but I’m sure you have your reasons. Explain and it better be legit,” I said while gritting my teeth.

“Damn, when did you get so strong? You didn’t have to punch so hard, though. I’ll explain. It was one fine, early summer morning when- Oww.. Alright, alright. I’ll start. Sheesh,”

Hyunjung’s Flashback

“Hyunjung-ah! Ppali, wake up! We’re gonna be late!” Umma said to me.

“Where are we going, umma?” I asked, my voice filled with curiosity. 

“ America. Now, no more questions. Just get dressed and let’s go”

“America?! Wae?! I don’t want to leave _______. Besides, I haven’t even told her yet. I haven’t even-“

“No time for that. Kaja,”

Present

“That’s why I didn’t tell you. We were already late,”

“Not legit enough. You could’ve at least contacted me. And don’t give me the I-lost-your-number crap. We’re best friends. You should at least memorize my phone number. I’m not gonna punch you anymore since my energy’s too precious. But why did you leave for America?” I asked.

“Family matters. Didn’t care,” he said in a nonchalant tone.

Pffft. Puh-lease. I shouldn’t press it further, though. Not yet.

“Ummm. Alright. Suuuure. So, what’s been going on in your life?”

And with that simple question, we chatted for hours and hours until it’s time I need to go home. Super Junior’s comeback stage is at 6 p.m. at M! Countdown. How can I miss that?

“Hyunjung ahjussi-“ Yup, I’ve resorted to calling him ahjussi. “-Let’s go for a picnic tomorrow. I know just the place. Here’s my number-“ I said as I grabbed his phone and saved my number. “I see this is yours-“ I said while I called my number on his phone. “Okay. I’ve got to go now. I have some business to attend to. NOT THAT BUSINESS YOU ERTED FREAK! Bye!” I said/yelled at him

It’s funny how I hated him sooo much just a few hours ago and now I’ve forgiven him. He has that effect on people. I feel so happy right now. Maybe because Super Junior’s comeback is in a few minutes as we speak. Who am I kidding? It feels great to reunite with my long lost best friend, Park Hyunjung.

Hyunjung’s P.O.V

Who’s she calling ahjussi? I would’ve scolded her if I didn’t love her this much after all these years. 8 years to be exact. I was 16 when I first met her. She was 15. There’s something about her that captured my attention. It’s great to reunite with my best friend and love of my life, Lee ____.

So... This is the first chapter... I hope you all enjoy it! BTW, the title literally is I Don't Know. I wasn't sure about the foreword yet so I decided to put the title first. I put as "I Don't Know" because I literally don't know yet... but then, A MIRACLE HAPPENED! The ideas for the foreword just kept coming. So, it officialy is "I Don't Know" Hope you guys enjoy it, pardon my spelling errors and grammar and good luck in life! xD *I don't know why I said that -_- * Comments are highly appreciated... I finally understand why authors love comments. From this day onwards, I WILL NOT BE A SILENT READER!
