Last Goodbye ⤖
❝The sky is so white,
I had to take ahold of my heart.
Now with my last voice,
I'll say my last goodbye❞
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I remember the day when I first saw you. The day when I accidently captured you on my camera. I was busy taking wonderful pictures of different landscapes. Every picture I took shows a sense of calming yet was very aesthetically pleasing to the eye, though that is when you walked past by the camera and smiled. It was beautifully taken. The way your pure, gentle smile shown though the camera. Your eyes, nose, lips. I could stare at you forever.
We happened to talk on that day, we enjoyed our time together but I didn't get your name ever since you left. It was a love, at first sight, when I first saw you, I guess. Like those old, cliche romantic stories about a person who fell in love with one another, have no clue that they have mutual feelings. So they must find a way to make that person fall in love with them. Mine was like those type of stories. Finding that person again and try to make them fall in love with me. It's a difficult task to do especially when the world is too big with billion of people in it and I have to find that person that deeply fell in love.
I work as a photography, I take pictures of many different landscapes at different angles. Being a professional photographer is my dream, I always wanted to be one ever since I was a kid. What inspired me of wanting to become a photographer was because of my dad who always takes wonderful photos at everything he captures. He would always show me all of the many different photos he takes around the world. I wanted to be like him, traveling around the world and take photos of the landscapes. It is my passion of being like him, he is my idol ever since I was young but unfortunately, my dad passed away. He used to teach me the skills, knowledge and the attributes of being a photographer but not anymore. I would always cry every day because I missed him so much, it makes me wanna give up being a photographer but I stopped and remove of all of my thoughts of sadness and worries when he gave me a letter which he wrote before when he was still alive. It said on the note to never give up on your dreams and always look forward to the future. Those words made me more inspired of being a photographer and nowhere near of giving up.
Until now, I continued on becoming a photographer, nearly as professional as my dad but I just need more lessons and skills to reach up to his level.
◉◉◉◉◉
Today is the day I continue to do my search, searching everywhere I could to find the boy who I captured on camera and never give up until my heart will stop loving him. Today is a clear blue sky where you couldn't find any clouds up in the sky, it is a perfect day to go on a picnic with the person you love or even have a relaxing day at the beach, looking at the view of the sea and hearing the sounds of the waves crashing the land.
Going to a cafè would be a great start to build up my energy, especially when today is going to be a very long day. I opened the door, making the bell on top of the door ring and made my way to a table, sitting down beside a window. I look out the window watching people walking past this building. Every single day I would always seat near a window, watching people walking by because for some reasons, it would always relaxes my mind.
Like usual, a waiter comes and order what I always take. "One chocolate macchiato with whipped cream on top. Please"
"Is that all sir?" He asked, writing down the order I had said. I smiled at him and nodded before he walks away. I relax my back and look around the cafè, noticed that everyone has a pair to sit with; Feeding each other and sharing a drink together. I wish I was like those people, doing everything with your pair and have a lot of fun.
I made a deep sigh, closing my eyes for awhile thinking about what life would be like if I had someone, someone who would alway be beside me and who would always be there when I need them. As soon as I opened my eyes, an orange hair guy appeared from a few tables away making me aware of him. It made me realized that the orange hair guy was the one who I captured on my camera. The person who caught my eyes.
He changed a lot from the last time I saw him. His hair before was black but now he colored it to bright orange. The color suits him very well and also his chubbiness had disappeared making his jawline look sharper. He really changed a lot in a good way and yet I still I remembered his face. I continued to take a look at the orange hair guy as he was ordering. He smiled at the waiter while talking to him. It was the same smile as the picture I took from my camera.
As he finished ordering and the waiter walked away, he turned his head and caught me staring. He suddenly smiled at me, making my heart stopped a bit before pumping really fast. I gave him a gentle wave with a small smile, making him wave back. What took me a moment, I did not know why but I gestured him to sit down with me and surprisingly, he gladly accepts. He stood up from his seat and began walking to my way. Every step he takes, made my heartbeat go faster and faster by the time he comes closer. He sat down and smiled ever so brightly. Brighter than the shining sun.
The boy and I didn't talk at all, all we did was sipping on our coffee's and stare at each other eyes. But even though the quietness was in between us, the place wasn't awkward nor intense at all, it was actually really comfortable being with his presence.
"Hello, my name is Jeon Jungkook. It is nice to meet you, I remembered we met before where I was taking photos and we talked a little while." I chuckled, making up a conversation which made him chuckle back and gave me a nod.
"Park Jimin," He uttered a sound.
Park Jimin; That's a cute name for a guy like him and his voice, though. The way he spoke, it was very soothing to hear, it was gentle and soft as if I would never get tired of hearing his voice every day. His voice is like a high pitch tone but not that high for a guy like him.
Taking my last sip of my chocolate macchiato and Jimin already finished theirs. We both stood up from our seat and exit out of the cafe. The sun was still up and no clouds were to be appeared up in the clear blue sky. We both walked together, side by side, like how I always wanted to be with someone on my side. I looked at Jimin and he seems to be relaxed while walking with me.
"Do you by any chance have any plans today," I suddenly asked. He looks at me and shook his head.
"Because I was wondering if you want to go to the beach with me since I also got nothing to do throughout this whole day. Do you perhaps, wanna go the beach since it is a sunny day?" I continued, asking him if he wants to go or not. He gladly accepts it by nodding his head happily.
By the time we arrived at the beach, not the many people came here. The beach today is a perfect weather to come here; It has the perfect ocean breeze, the clear blue sky, and the ocean blue. We removed our shoes and walked barefooted across the yellow bright sand and found a log across the beach. We sat down and watch each waves crashing against the sand and hearing the seagulls caw.
From where I am sitting, I looked at the wonderful view, it made me lucky that I got my camera to picture this wonderful seascape. I took out my camera from my bag and began taking photos of the beach at different angles. Jimin looked at me, fascinated at how I took the photos. I faced the camera towards Jimin, making him smile with a peace sign, forming on his hand. Cute.
I looked through the pictures that I took and smiled when Jimin popped out with his peace sign. I chuckled and showed Jimin himself making him chuckle cutely too.
"Thank you for this day, I really enjoyed it and it was the most relaxing day I ever had," Jimin suddenly said, making me form a smile on my lip.
I stood up, dusting my pants and held a hand for Jimin to hold. He looks at me before he gladly accepts it. His hands are very soft and smooth as he intertwined his hands against mine. His hands are small but fit perfectly with mine.
We both walked across the beach, hand in hand, swinging it back and forth. Even though we just meet for less than a day, it feels like we met each other for so long.
While we were still at the beach, we began to run around the beach, chasing each other, laughing so hard till we get tired. We both had fun being together. I lied down at the sand and stared at the clear blue sky that will soon turn into yellow, blended together with red and orange making the sky be dark in a mean time. Jimin laid next to me, hearing him huffing and puffing from all of that running. We just lie down, watching the sky and enjoying each other presence.
I looked at the time on my watch and unfortunately, it was time to go home as the sky slowly goes darker and darker that will soon be a cold night. I told Jimin that it was getting late and we have to go, he replied with a pout but nodded. We both helped each other get up and began walking to our own home. By the time, Jimin reaches his home. I gave him a hug and we both exchanged phone number. I waved Jimin goodbye before walking off.
Reaching home, I opened the door and walked up to my bedroom, plopping down on my bed, releasing a big sigh from my mouth.
'Today was a great day today. Finally, I found him. He was very cute.' I thought inside my mind, happy that I met Jimin. Starting to feel sleepy from this very tiring day, I yawned and my eyes were getting heavier and heavier each second. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
◉◉◉◉◉
Weeks has passed and yet, we were getting closer and closer each week. We would always go out together to different places that we haven't been. Each trip, I would always take many photos and use those photo for my work to show them my skills of being a photographer. Each day, between me and Jimin, my love for him his getting deeper and deeper but I didn't show my love to him yet.
This weekend which is tomorrow, Jimin and I decided to go for a long drive and go camping for one day. I packed up some of my clothes and put it in a bag, I brought all of the things I need for camping but since we will be going on a camping van, I will just bring my clothes, food, and a torch.
*on the next day*
Today we're going camping and I can't wait to camp with Jimin. I hired a camping van and when I went in, everywhere inside the camping van was perfect. Inside was a small kitchen and a living room that can transform into a bedroom. It also has a television, a dining table and you can also make a shelter, outside the camping van and can camp fire outside. Everything was all ready to go. We had everything we need but the only thing I am missing is Jimin. I hopped inside the van and drove to Jimin's place which is not so far away to mine.
Reaching there, I saw Jimin who is already outside his house waiting for me. I beeped the van and he flinched. I waved at Jimin, putting my arm out the window and wave. Jimin smiled, walking inside the camping van.
As he hopped inside, he had an amused face, looking inside the camping van. He explored everywhere inside the camping van.
"Wow, Jungkook! This is amazing! It has everything we need and it also has a tv!" He said in amusement.
"Yes, luckily I picked this camping van." I smiled.
After he explored around the camping van. We began our long driving. Jimin sat next to me as I drive. I turned on the radio and played differents songs, whenever one of our favorite songs are on, we would blast the volume out loud, singing along with it. Throughout the long driving, we just continued singing songs from the radio.
A few hours has passed and finally, we have reached our destination. I stopped the van and went outside the van to get some fresh air. I stretched my arms out and yawned from that long driving. It was already night time and we need to get some sleep. I looked at Jimin who was sleeping so soundly.
I softly shook his shoulder, trying to wake him up to sleep in one of the bed. He stretched his arm and yawned before opening his eyes. He looked at me before looking around with a sleepy look on his face.
"Oh, we are here," He spoke with a sleepy tone.
"You were asleep halfway through the driving."
"I was?" He said, giving me a confused look, rubbing his eyes with his fist.
"Of course you were" I chuckled. "Now let's go to sleep so that we can start our day tomorrow and rest from the long road trip" I smiled, helping him up and transform the living room into a bedroom. Now that the living has turned into a bedroom. We both plop down on a bed and rest our bodies there while I am just here, not bothered to go to my own bed.
"Goodnight Jimin, I am just going to sleep with you, just only for today. I don't feel bothered going to the other bed since it is way up on the camping van. If it is alright with you," I said in a tired voice.
"Don't worry about it, you can sleep with me, anytime you want." He smiles making me blush.
"Goodnight Jungkook"
"Goodnight" I replied as he switched off the lights.
◉◉◉◉◉
Another day has come which means;
IT IS TIME FOR ADVENTURE!!!
The sun shines through the window, making me wake up. I look at Jimin on my side but he wasn't there. I quickly stood up from the bed like a flash of light and searched around the van. He wasn't anywhere. I was starting to panic. I walked out of the van and found him, sitting down, looking at the view. I sighed in relief, making Jimin noticed that I was here.
"Goodmorning Jungkook. How was your sleep?" He asked, standing up from his seat and giving me a short morning hug.
"It is was good but as soon I wake up, you weren't sleeping next to me and I was starting to panic as I couldn't find you. I searched everywhere around the van and you weren't there but it turns out that you were outside," I explained about what happened about a minute ago. Jimin laughed at my silliness.
"Aishh Jungkook, I would never be gone. I would always be here, with you and by your side. I would never leave you side," I would really wish, he would say it in a romantic way but I know he said it in a brotherly way because we are best friends after all. Since I am in love with him, I really wonder if he likes me back? I mean he would always hug me tight and sometimes blushes whenever I am with his presence.
Before starting our day, we ate bacon and eggs for our breakfast made by Jimin from earlier. We soon changed into our camping clothes and now walking around the camping area. We explored around the camping area to see what can we do. There is bike riding, kayaking, rock climbing, and hiking.
We decided to do bike riding and kayaking for today. We walked towards the area, full of bikes, and paid our bikes, putting on a helmet before riding on one.
We began paddling our own bikes, following the bike tracks on where should we go. We rode across a bridge, looking at the sight of the sea blue sea with many tall and short buildings and houses on the other side. We also went through a large forest, surrounded by a lot of large, tall trees and looking at the nature of different floras and faunas. We both looked at the landscapes in awe. We continued to follow the tracks and it looks like it is the end of the bike ride as we can see our camping van from afar. To make things a little bit more fun, we both raced together to see who is the winner.
"The last one is the rotten egg," I yelled, paddling my bike really fast.
"Aye, that's not fair!" He yelled back, going really fast.
Riding really fast, we tried not to lose against each other. We kept on giggling, making fun of each other as we kept beating each other. Nearly at the imaginary finish line, me being first while Jimin behind, I cycled really fast, smiling as I am going to be first.
"Yasss! I am going to be first!" I smiled widely, poking a tongue at him.
"Na-ah, you ain't going to be first,"
And just before passing the finish line, Jimin went ahead of me making him win. He raised both of his arms up like what winners would do after finishing the game.
"I won!!!" He yelled happily. I pout at him and stopped our bikes near our van.
He stuck his tongue out and smiled victoriously. He came closer to me and patted my back.
"Don't worry Jungkook. There is always a better luck next time," He chuckled, knowing that there wouldn't be a 'next time'.
I continued to pout and for a while, a silly idea suddenly popped out of my head. My pout turning into a smirk decided to do a silly trick towards Jimin. I took my first step but fell on my knees and pretend to wince at my 'sprained ankle'.
"ouch, " I wince, holding my foot.
"What happen?" He asked, worried about me. He came closer to me and squat in front of me.
"I think I sprained my ankle."
"Eh? How did that happen?" He scratched his head.
He pulled me up and put my arm around his shoulder but just before walking inside our camping van, I let go of him and ran towards the kayaking area, near a big lake.
"Last one has to piggyback each other from the lake to the van," I yelled again.
"Aye, that's not fair. I was the winner!" He pouts but shrugs it off and began running faster than me.
Reaching our destination, I won this time, making him piggyback me after we kayak.
We each grabbed a kayak boat, a jacket vest, and a paddle. We put our boats on the shore of the water and slid onto the boat. We began to use the paddle, stroking it from left to right on each of my side of the water. Once I got the hang of kayaking, I began to paddle really fast. I looked at Jimin and chuckled at his slowness, still struggling on how to use the paddle. I paddle towards him making our kayak boat bump each other. I splash him water with my paddle and he got startled by the splash of water on him and fell off his boat, making him soaking wet with his hair covering his eyes, making him look hot. I blushed and my eyes dropped down, clearly seeing his toned abs through his thin clothed shirt.
Jimin groaned cutely at me, pulling me with him, he laughed at me as I was shivering at the coldness of the water.
"Cold!" I shivered, wrapping my arms.
"Aww. Is the baby cold? Let me give you a hug to keep you warm," He smirked, swimming towards me but I splashed him water before coming closer to me. We began to splash each other, showing each other our best splash.
By the time the sun slowly disappears into the sky, making it sunset. We walked out of the water and shivered coldly.
"Don't forget about the piggy back ride," I moved my eyebrows up and down.
"Ugh. Foine" He sighed. He knelt down facing his back and I went to his back, wrapping my arms around his neck while he held my legs. He slowly got up and walk to our camping van. I wrapped tightly around his neck and lay my head on his shoulder. Even though I felt cold, I feel warm on the inside as Jimin is the one who is keeping me warm.
"Jimin you are so warm," I exhaled. "Why are you so warm?" He chuckled at my question.
"Because I have a warm heart," He raised his eyebrows up and down, facing me.
Reaching the camping van, I removed my arms from him and immediately, the coldness went through me.
"Let's quickly change or else we might catch a cold," I said, going inside which Jimin follows behind. We changed into some new warm clothes as we sat down on a couch, sharing a blanket together.
"Wanna watch a movie?" I asked, making him nod. I stood up from my spot and picked a movie I brought from home. I only brought one movie which is a horror movie called "Lights out". I bought the movie a couple days ago and still haven't watch. Watching horror movies are my favorite genre and I never get scared watching it. I open the case of the DVD and put it on the movie DVD player.
We wait for it for load, sitting back down and putting back the blanket over us.
"What movie is it?" Jimin asked.
I gave Jimin a glance and smile innocently. "Don't worry Jimin, you don't need to know,"
He gave me a look "Tell me~" He whined.
"You will see," I smiled. He rolled his eyes, now looking at the screen of the tv.
In the middle of the movie, Jimin keeps on screaming and jumping out of his chair, scared of the scene his watching. When another scary scene popped out on the screen, he happens to wrap his arms around me and hid his face on my arm, not wanting to watch the movie again, it made my heartbeat, beat fast.
"Aww. Is the baby scared to watch the movie? Do you want a hug to keep the monsters away from you?" I imitate Jimin from before. He looked at me and smacked me on the shoulder. I smiled and squeeze both of his cheeks.
"You are so cute, Jimin! Being scared of watching the movie" He smacked both of my hands down.
"Don't call me cute," He pouts, arms folded not looking at me.
"Why?" He looked at me at the corner of his eyes before turning his head.
"Because you're cuter," He squeezed my cheeks, stretching it inwards and outwards.
"You are my cutest bestie in the world but you are more like a brother to me," He hugged me tightly. My smile slowly turns to a small frown but not that much to make him noticed.
Friend Zoned.
I have been friend zoned and it hurts my heart so much. He only thinks of my as a friend or even a brother while I think of him more than that. I wish I can express and confess my love to him already. Tell him how much I love him and how much I care for him. But the only problem that is keeping me away from telling him is that I am scared. Scared to tell him. Scared he might run away from me without saying a goodbye and scared that he will never see me again. That is my worst fear, my worst fear of not seeing him again. It is scarier than watching horror movies.
I stood up from the seat and pause the movie. "Let's just do something else since you are scared of watching horror movies," I showed a small smile, letting all of the thoughts in my mind disappear. Jimin nodded before I closed the tv and put the DVD back where it belongs.
We both sat down on the sofa, just looking at each other, not doing anything making the sound of silence come to us.
"So" He broke the silence. "What do you want to do?" Looking at me intensively in the eye without blinking.
"Hmmm... I'm not sure" I replied back, looking at him back intensively without blinking also. "How about you? What do you want to do?" I questioned back. We just looked at each other, without answering each other question.
Jimin blinked.
"Ha!" I yelled, pointing at Jimin. "You blinked!"
"So you are having a blinking competition with me huh?" He used his dark, low tone at me, giving me a stare.
"Then, let's play it. It's on," He said
"It's on like donkey kong," I replied back, making him slightly chuckle.
We closed our eyes and count till three. Reaching to three, we both opened our eyes, looking at each other in the eye. Not daring to blink, we only focusing on each other without getting distracted by anything around us.
We would always do this all the time, always having a competition against each other and see who wins.
Nearly 5 minutes has already passed and yet no one blinked. My eyes were starting to get the watery feeling of air coming inside my eyes. My eyes were starting to burn, wanting to blink really bad.
Giving up, I blinked making Jimin smiled victoriously, like what he did before and raising both of his hands up.
"Since I am the winner, you are now my servant." He smirked. "Pass me a bottle of water from the fridge," He commanded. I stood up, following Jimin's order and walk towards the fridge, grabbing a bottle of water before going back to the sofa. But just before reaching there and tossing him the bottle. I don't know why but I tripped over air and landed on top of Jimin. I probably tripped over my feet, I don't even know how I ever did it.
I landed on top of Jimin and we were inches apart. My forehead and his forehead collided together, making our lips inches apart, feeling his hot breath against my skin which giving me goosebumps. Our nose was touching and we looked at each other in the eye, making my face turn red and my heart beating really fast. I have never been this close to Jimin.
I quickly got up, looking at somewhere other than Jimin.
"Sorry, I'm just going to have a quick shower, here is your bottle of water" I excused tossing him his bottle of water before walking to the bathroom outside with my towel and my toothbrush. I quickly walked towards a shower room near our van, closing the door and locking it.
I made a deep sigh and feel the hotness of my blushing cheeks which seems to be noticeable. Hopping in the shower, I relaxed and let the water engulf me. I let go all of my worries and embarrassments away from my mind.
Showers are always the best place to put aside all of your worries and to just relax. It always helps especially when you are stressing from work or have personal problems.
Many minutes has passed and I finished cleaning myself. I hopped out of the showering and look at the clock, making me realized that I spent more than 30 minutes in the shower and Jimin is probably waiting for me to come back. I quickly dressed myself up into my pajamas and quickly go to the camping van. I reached there and Jimin was there sitting down on the dining area table, sleeping with his elbow on the table and his head leaning on his hand. I made a soft chuckle before grabbing a blanket and putting it on him. I sat beside the sleeping Jimin and stare at him for I don't know how long. He began to make soft cute snores. I took out my polaroid camera from my bag and pictured him not making any sounds as it will part of memories that I will remember forever. A blank white card came out from the polaroid and I shake the card and wait for the colors to appear on the card. Slowly, appear came a cute sleeping Jimin. I smiled and wrote 'A cute sleeping Jimin' beneath the photo and wrote the date of today with a heart. I put the photo inside my bag and yawned slightly, feeling sleepy. I looked at Jimin who was still sleeping on the dining table, not wanting to wake him up from his sleep. I carefully carried Jimin bridal side and walk to his bed, laying him down. I gave Jimin a peck on the forehead, making him moved slightly but was still was sleeping.
"Goodnight Jimin" I whispered, switching off the light and hopping on my own bed. I slowly drifted off to sleep, ready to go back home, tomorrow.
*A few days later*
Ever since we returned from camping, days has passed and we don't spend that much together neither we go out anymore. We just only have rest which saddens me because I haven't seen him for awhile since the day we went camping.
I walked outside my mailbox, checking if I have any mails. I opened the mailbox and saw a pile of mails for me to read. I took it all out and looking at it one by one.
"Junk"
"Junk"
"J-" Just before saying junk, there was an important mail for me to read. I opened it up and it read;
Dear Jeon Jungkook,
As a photographer, we decided you move up a level meaning that you became a professional photographer. Congratulation! To begin with being a professional photographer, you get to travel around the world and take wonderful photos. You will be going on a business trip and staying in America. You will be leaving Korea by the end of this week, which is this Sunday the 8th.
We will meet you there.
Sincerely,
Just Shoot it Company
By the time I finished reading the letter, the letter made me super happy as I finally achieved my dreams of becoming a photographer. I bet my dad is proud of me up there in heaven. I can't believe that this is happening and yet I will already be leaving this Sunday and that is already tomorrow! I ran inside my house and jumped on my bed in happiness. I released a big sigh.Thank you, dad, for helping me achieve my dreams and guiding me. I am really happy, I couldn't even express my feelings right now. I couldn't do it without you.
I can't wait to tell this to Jimin an-
I stopped in mid-sentence and my smile turned into a frown. I wouldn't be able to him ever again. Do i?
I always dream of becoming a photographer and finally I am going to be one but when I first met Jimin, I loved him at first sight and I want to stay by his side forever.
What am I going to choose?
This the hardest thing I have ever done. I want to pick both but I know I have to pick only one. I felt like crying, I didn't want to leave one of those. I stood from my bed releasing a big sigh, my stomach began to hurt so much. Why does this have to happen to me?
Making my final decision of picking either on of them. My decision is to become a photographer. It hurts so much but I know have to let him go. I really love him so much but I know he deserves someone better, someone, better than me. I am not good enough for him. I am sure he will be even more happy without me. I am sure of that. We just only met for only two months and a half and yet, I am going to leave him.
On my last day in Korea, I will say my Last Goodbye to him. I will spend all of my precious time with him. I still haven't even confessed my love for him. I could have done it earlier but then it will break his heart when I will be leaving him if we were a couple.
Standing up from my bed, I prepare to pack up all of my clothes and putting them in a luggage. I make sure I don't forget anything before leaving. I looked around the house, grabbing the things I need.
*One Day Later (The last day)*
Today was the last day I'll be leaving for America and my flight will be at midnight which means I can spend the whole day with Jimin. I walk towards Jimin's house and knocked his house. I waited till he opened the door. He greeted me and welcome me inside. I haven't been inside his place at all, his place was quite small but it was a comfortable place to live in. He told me to sit down on one of the couches and I obeyed him. He walked up to me and sat down next to me, facing me.
"So what brings you here?" He asked. I don't want to tell him just yet. I am gonna tell at the very last time before leaving Korea.
"I just want to spend time with you today," I smiled. I went closer to Jimin and gave him a big tight hug.
"I miss you so much," I snuggled him as he hugs back.
"I miss you too," He replied. Tears were about to flow down from my eyes but I held it in. I don't want him to see cry just yet. I just want to spend time with only happiness, not sadness.
We both hug each other for a while, feeling the warmness between each other. I was the one who broke the hug, and we both looked at each other for awhile.
"Do you have time to spend with me today," I said to him.
"Of course, I always have time especially spending time with you," He smiled, making me smile back.
"Wait for a moment, I will just gonna go and change. It will be quick," He said, standing up. I made a nod as he ran upstairs.
I looked around the place and his place was cute. I stood up from the couch and stroll around his place. There were photos displayed around the room, I decided to walk towards there and take a look at the photos. I look at the first photo and there was a photo of Jimin when he was a baby. He was so cute and chubby. I looked at the next photo next to it and the photo was when he was a child, wearing a cow shirt and a black and white cow printed shorts. Every photo I look next is Jimin growing up bit by bit which was cute. Looking at the last photo the photo, it is a picture of me and him. We were both were smiling widely on the photo. I remembered that photo was taken when we go out together for the first time. The place was filled with lovely memories, I wish we could visit there one more time. His eyes and my eyes were filled with happiness, I want to go back in time and spend more time together happily.I smiled at the photo and held it, I couldn't help but let a tear come out from my eyes.
"Jungkook?" I heard Jimin from behind. I quickly wipe the tears and look behind. Jimin came closer and look at the photo of the both us.
"I found the photo in my bag at that time and I decided to put it on display in my house to keep in as memory," He smiled. I put the photo to where it belong and smiled back at Jimin.
I looked at the time and we still got lots of hours to spend together.
"Let's go?" He nodded his head, and we both exit out of his place. We walked through the pathways and arrived at a bowling club and next to it is an arcade, near my place.
"Yes, bowling! Haven't played bowling for awhile!" Jimin clapped excitedly.
We walked up to our bowling lane, played many games of bowling competing against each other. Every game, Jimin is the one who wins most of the games. He would always get strikes and spare while I miss some of the pins making me all sad and whiny but eventually we had fun.
Now that we were satisfied with the day of playing bowling and little bit of arcade after, we exited outside and the sky went darker making my heart drop, knowing that I don't have much time till I leave Korea.
We strolled around a park, close to the bowling ally with lights guiding our way. We both hug our plush toy prize after winning a few games while having a chat.
We eventually found a bench nearby a lake and sat down. We put our plush toys aside and sat next to each other as we stared at the night sky, filled with twinkling stars, shining above. I looked at Jimin and he was smiling ever so brightly, brighter than the twinkling stars, it made me smile too. He stopped looking at the stars and instead he stared straight at me, looking each other in the eye. His eyes were sparkly that were reflecting the lights, and still, has the smile on his face. We both didn't utter a word, we just stared at each other eyes.
I am going to miss him. Jimin noticed my teary eyes, making his smile fade away, turning into a worried expression.
"What happened? Why are you crying?" He worriedly asked. My tears wouldn't stop. This is it.
I crushed Jimin's body with mine, giving him a tight hug. I wrapped my arms around his neck and let a tear stroll down my eye. He slowly wraps his hands around my waist, hugging me, even more, tighter, not leaving a space between our bodies.
My heart began to skip a beat. "I am going to miss you," I spoke. All of my tears began to stroll down from my eyes, it just keeps on going and going non-stop. Jimin didn't get what was I saying, he was confused. He broke the hug and put his hand on my shoulder, looking at each other in the eye once again.
"What do you mean?" He questioned, wiping my tears away, using his thumbs as he cupped my face.
"I am going to be leaving Korea in a few hours. I didn't tell you before because I was scared that something wrong will happen to you. I didn't want you to be sad, I just want you to be happy. I am sorry." I looked down, feeling disappointed about myself.
"Is it because of work?" He asked. I slowly nodded. He gently lifts my head up, using his two fingers. I didn't look straight at him, instead, I look at my hands. He is probably angry for not telling him.
"Look at me in the eye," He used a gentle voice. I slowly looked up and stared at him in the eye. Instead of him being angry, he smiles softly at me.
"You don't have to be sad about it. It your dream right?"
"You said before that it is your dream of becoming a photographer. Like your dad and now you finally achieved it. You should be happy about it because if you are happy then I am happy," He smiles.
"But I don't want to leave you, I am worried about you. I am worried if something bad happened to you and no one is by your side," I whined.
He slowly gave me a hug. "I will be fine, Kookie. When you leave Korea, don't worry about me, just focus on your work. Araso? If you don't I will haunt you in your dreams" I chuckled and slowly nodded in the hug and smelling his nice scent of perfume making me relax a bit.
"There is something I always wanting to give you" Jimin broke the hug. I looked at him in curiosity.
"Would you mind closing your eyes?" He suddenly asked. I gave him a nod and closed my eyes, wondering what will he give me. I waited for him to something and for a minute of so, I felt a pair of lips against mine. We stayed like that for a moment.
My heart was pumping really fast. Is this really happening?
He slowly leaned back from the kiss and we both stared at each other. I was still shocked. I couldn't believe Jimin kissed me. What is this suppose to mean?
Jimin looked down, fiddling his fingers. "I am sorry,"
"Sorry for what?" Why was he apologizing for? He didn't do anything wrong?
"I am sorry for kissing you. I didn't know why I did it but I couldn't hold it anymore. I really like you Jungkook," He looked at me. "I really do but not in a best friend way, I love you more than that but I am scared to tell you this because I don't know if you like me back and I am sca-" I cut him off and pulled his shirt, diving in for another kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He leaned in even more, slowly wrapping his arms around my waist.
I broke the kiss and stared at him. "I like you too," I smiled. "You made me fall in love with you at first sight,"
"I did?"
"Of course you did. You looks so perfect, you were perfect to me. I fell in love with you because of your cute personality when we first talked," I chuckled.
"I was cute?" He asked tilting his head. I chuckled once again.
"You were cute, ever since now," I smile, putting our forehead together. He chuckled leaning in once again. We began to slowly move our lips together since it was our very first kiss and now that we got the hang of it, we were now in sync. I tilted my head, deepening the kiss which I felt Jimin smiling in the kiss. This was going to be my very first and the last kiss I will have with Jimin for I will never forget about this and keep this as one of the best moments I have ever had.
Gasping for air, we both broke the kiss and stared at each other before chuckling at each other once again. We both relaxed on the bench, leaning our backs while looking up the stars. I wish time can stop and let me have more time to be with Jimin because I know I will never see him again. I looked at my watch and got shocked as time flew by so fast.
It's 11:15 pm! I quickly stood up and told Jimin the time, he got shocked also and stood up from the bench. We quickly ran and hailed a cab before hopping inside. We told the taxi my address and as soon as possible, the cab driver rode really fast towards my house. When we reached there, I paid the cab and thank him before going inside my house, grabbing my luggage with Jimin helping me. We put all of my luggage at the back of the car, hoping that I didn't leave anything and quickly went inside the car with Jimin. I turned on the engine and quickly drive off to the airport.
It takes about 30 min to arrive there at the airport. When we arrived there, the time was already 11:45 and I were really late, just only 15 minutes till my plane depart. Jimin helped me get out all of my luggage and we went in line to know what gate I am in and to check my passport and ticket. Luckily, there wasn't that many people in line and I manage to finish in less than 10 minutes. As they told me what lane was I, we both quickly ran to the gate.
"Passengers whose plane are gate number 1, please make your way as soon a possible," An announcement said.
We reached the gate and now is the time where I say my Last Goodbye to Jimin. My Last Goodbye where I will never see him again. I smiled at Jimin and hugged him really tight.
"I am going to miss you so much," I suddenly burst into tears. Jimin hugged me back.
"I am going to miss you too. Please don't cry, you are going to make me cry," He let go of the hug and I can see his eyes are full of tears not wanting to release it.
He starts fanning his eyes, "No. I am starting to cry," He released a tear and hugged me one last time. He wiped it with his tears using his sleeves and looking back at me with a gentle smile.
"I hope you have a safe trip going there and I hope you have fun," I smiled nodded and give him a peck on the lips. I waved at him and walk towards the gate. When I reached where the flight attendant was, I looked behind and waved at Jimin one last time,he waved back.
I gave the flight attendant my passport and ticket to them and they approved it. I turned my back one last time and excuse the flight attendant for a minute before running into Jimin's arms and crushing our lips together. We let go each other and stare at each other.
"I love you Jimin and I will always will. I will never replace someone over you," I hugged him.
Jimin smiled. "I love you too. Every moment I spent with you, it like a beautiful dream come true. Don't forget that I always love you," I silently released a tear and nodded.
*Four Years Later*
Living in America wasn't that bad and not that hard for me since I made a best friend name Kim SeokJin who is my buddy in my career as a photographer. We both met each other when we first arrived in America, we both had troubled speaking English but when we worked together, it wasn't that hard. We both worked on our careers and so far we did so well in these past four years. When I first stepped in America, the first thing I did was breathed in the air of America before looking around.
The air was completely different from Korea and the weather in here was very hot, you could even fry an egg on the floor.
From the four years, I had spent here in America, I really enjoyed staying here and for my career, lately, I've been popular with the people around here including Seokjin. All of the photos I took are very satisfying every time I looked at it and surprisingly, all of the photos I took were all sold out by the famous people and exchange the photos to money. I even own an exhibition where all of my photos I captured have been displayed there. I was quite proud of myself from all of the hard work I have done.
Today, I arrived back to Korea, taking a break from my career. I was really excited when I came back, I couldn't even sleep properly and that is how much I miss Korea. I even miss the food in Korea. It was great to be back home because there is no place like home.
I caught a cab and went to my own house, hoping that nothing has changed. By the time I arrived there, I sighed in relief and opened my door making my mind filled with memories of this place. I put my luggage on the side and went upstairs in my bedroom, plopping on my bed. I looked up at the ceiling, thinking of a place I should go that could be a nice, relaxing place to go to. From the flight that took hours to come here made me feel sleepy because of tiredness and just like that, tiredness took over me.
On the next day, I prepared myself and grab my canon camera before going outside to my car and have a car trip to take more photos. Taking more photos, to make a new concept on what I should do next. While driving, the sky was a bit cloudy with a little bit of sunlight that shines through the clouds. I gotta to say, the sunlight that goes through the clouds looks pretty because when you look at it, it looks like heaven and how the shines through the clouds, it is like the sun is shining through at some specific place. It made me admire at the sun shining through the clouds, I stopped the car on the side of the road and began taking wonderful photos of the view up there in the sky. I arrived at a place that was a mountainous field filled with lively beautiful flowers, I walked out of my car and walk towards a large tree near the flowers, it was so beautiful that I remember I came here to take this wonderful view.
I put the camera closer to my eyes, adjusting the lens of the camera and made the camera face the lively flowers and the cloudy shining sky that adds it up. When I captured the photo, I looked closely at the photo that I took, it was very satisfying and relieving but when I looked up even more closely, there was something or someone appeared on the photo that I took.
It was him.
