Part I

Don't Worry, I Remember

I'm trying so hard to forget about yesterday, but how can I? HE smiled at ME! Haaah! This is making me crazy. How can he make my heart flustered just by smiling at me? It doesnt make sense at all. But I hope I get to see him smile at me again. I can wait to reach school. 

Just when I arrive at his morning class, he isn't there this time. Usually his there with his notepad, sketching some cut characters he made up. He always love to draw. 
Where is he? This is such a disappointment morning. 
Just when I'm about to give up and leave hi classroom, as I turn to the hallway, he's there! Looking at me! And... right beside me! 
"Waa, gamchagiya! (깜짝이야)" I flinch. 
He also startled by my sudden move. "Gwaenchana? (괜찮아)" he asks me.
I'm too shock to answer that.
I just smile nervously. "eung..." 
I'm just about to run, when he shout out to me. "Chogiyo!" he shouts. I froze. I turned my head slightly. 
"Ne? (네)" I'm really nervous now and I don't even know why.
"Don't run again..." he says. 
"I... I'm not... I'm not running. Wait... 'again'? What do you mean?" I ask. 
"Umm... well, I saw you run yesterday. Last time we met. It WAS you right?" he emphasize the 'was', as if he doesn't humilate me enough.
"Ummh.. well..." I couldnt say anything.

"Its been a long time... Han Hae Jin"

Oh my gosh... he remembers.

***

Oh my gosh... he remembers me. After this whole time. 

"Why did you run? Yesterday. You should've said hi" he says. 
"'Should have'? What about you?! How come you never said anything?" 
"Well... you seem intentionally ignore me this whole time. I just thought you forget..." he says, hesitantly.
"Never..." I said that too soft. So soft that it sounds more like a whisper. 
"Mworago? (뭐라고)" he asks as he lean towards me slightly. 
Now that we're so close, I could actually observe his face in detail, inhale his scent, as my cheek rose up. I take a step back. 
"Aniya (아니야)" I say. 
He tucked his hand into his pocket and inhale slowly. We just stand there like a statue, awkwardly, waiting for someone to say something.
"Ummhh..." I hesitate. "I didn't know you were in Seoul." I'm not quite sure if that was a question or a statment. 
"Neither do I... about you." he replies. That's true, I never tell anyone I move to Seoul. 
"Your face was on the Internet saying that you're moving to SOPA." I continue. 
"Then how come you never say hi?" he asks again.
I stay quite. Honestly, I also don't know why. Maybe I'm not brave enough?
"Whatever. We've passed that anyway." he continues.  
Yeah sure... passed that. 
"We should hang out again sometimes. With my hyungs too." 
"Ah... I dont think thats such a good idea..." I reject politely. 
"Its okay. It'll be fun! Besides, I can't just go anywhere with a girl like you alone..." 
Huh? Why? Is it so bad to just hang outwith a normal teenage girl? 
He looks to me deeply. "Dont take it personally. I just dont want to start any rumors" 
Aaahh... thats right. He's a singer now. 
"Ummhh.." I still dont know what to say. 
"Tomorrow, okay? Just with Jimin-hyung... if its inconvenient for you to meet them all." he says. 
"Uuhh.." my brain is processing everything so slow. 
"Great! After school we can go together!" 
And just like that, I just reconnected with Jungkook. My Jungkook. My first love.
