Chapter 2
Jimin's POV
Since school is out, my parents rented a cabin is the woods for the summer; saying that it would be a good experience for me.
I didn't mind and believe it or not, I was actually extremely excited to stay somewhere different for a change.
It's not like I don't like where I'm living, its a great neighborhood, but I don't really have any friends and it gets boring after awhile.
Most of the other boys my age are shut-ins; only playing video games or watch TV the whole day.
I enjoy going out and admiring the world. Plus, none of them are interested in photography like I am.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we finally reach the cabin I decide to help out a little by carrying some of the boxes inside.
But I start to grow impatient after carrying in a few of them.
As soon as I set down my last box I grab my camera and dart for the door, passing my dad at lightning speed.
"Be careful and have fun champ," I hear him holler at me.
Then I sprint past my mom as she continues to take out boxes out of the car.
"Don't come back too late," she says in a worried tone as I slow down, gawking at how enormous the woods were.
"I'll be back soon" I shout excitedly over my shoulder as I set foot into, what feels like, a whole new world.
I adventure further into the forest, admiring everything that my young eyes were seeing for the first time.
The variety and different shades of colors flow across my vision ; My hands grip firm, readying on my camera as I take pictures at everything that catches my attention.
Just when I decide that I have taken enough pics for the day and was about to head back, I spot a worn out gray color in the corner of my eye.
Letting my curiosity take complete control over me, I don't hesitate to walk over to investigate it.
I push some bushes out of the way, trying to get a better look at the strange blob of gray.
When I finally got closer I realized that it was an old abandoned car. Vines with beautiful wild flowers were draping over it, changing the bland rusted metal for the better by adding color to it.
Adding life.
My gaze then shifts up from the car when I realize that their wasn't any tree's shade covering me. The sight I saw after that was astonishing.
It was a vast land of summer grass with a humongous old tree in the middle.
I noticed that there was a figure in the tree.
A person. A boy
He was staring up at the sky, looking like he was dreaming about a distant land.
The scene before me seemed unreal; like, it was part of some fairytale, where he was a princess stuck in the tree, patiently waiting for someone to save him. I take a picture, savering the magical moment into my cameras memory.
The mood doesn't last long though, as he suddenly look down, staring intensely at the grass.
I wasn't sure since the distance between us was too grand, but I think his expression darkens.
Even the aura around the place shifts in a second, changing from an atmosphere full of life into a deadly one.
"Is he going to jump" I thought horrified. But he stays like that for a few seconds, not making a single movement.
After some time, the atmosphere turns back to normal as he start to make his way down the old tree, instantly lying down next to it.
He didn't jump. I let out a sigh of relief.
But it looked like he was thinking about it. I tell myself.
Before, when he was looking down, I sensed sadness emit from him.
Loneliness.
Maybe I'm just over thinking it I say as I ready myself to turn around and head back; my feet don't move though. He a complete strange I tell myself, but I didn't want to leave him all alone.
I turn swiftly and start to walk towards the tree.
Towards him.
When I finally reach him his eyes are closed, and he doesn't move; I think he's asleep.
I set my eyes on his face , studying his features carefully.
His lips look soft, with a peachy-pink tone, and his upper eyelashes are long; his rough, tan skin sends warmth through me.
Even with the worn out clothes he wears and the small bags under eyes, he's very cute.
Before my mind could process what I just thought, he cautiously peek one eye open.
Then both of his eyes go wide, shocked to see me staring at him. This is my chance.
My stare starts to turn intense now, trying to figure out how his mind works; trying to see what had taken over him a minute ago.
His shocked face vanishes instantly when he notices that I was trying to tell what he was thinking; he quickly hardens his features, putting on a poker face as he kept the eye contact.
His eyes was what betrayed him though.
I was right.
Deep in his very dark brown eyes, was sadness, pain, and loneliness.
No one should feel like that; my determination started to take over my actions. He looked surprised when I just suddenly sat down next to him.
"Hi I'm Jimin! Let's be friends "I say excitedly.
At first he looked confused like I was speaking some foreign language. It took him a few minutes before he just responded with a soft "why".
"I'm not sure", I say laughing awkwardly, and I honestly didn't know why.
"U just looked.....lonely," I added on while shrugging my shoulders.
He does a bitter laugh, making me jolt; my awkward smile, fading.
"So this is out of pity huh," he says harshly as he starts to glare daggers at me.
But it wasn't out of pity.
When I saw the loneliness in his eyes I guess, it just reminded me of my past; when my parents always used to work and didn't have any time for me.
"No that's not...."I say loudly, making him flinch.
It's not because.....I.. pity...you I say in a small voice. He still looks suspicious, but his glare softens.
"I'm leaving now, "he says while getting up, making me start to panic.
No it can't just end like this.
"Tomorrow!" I hastily blurt out behind him as I start to get up, scared that I'll never see him again
He stops to listen to what I have to say.
"At the some time, let's meet," I say more calmly.
He continues to walk, the complete opposite direction I came, without saying a word. All I can do his stare at his back, anxious because I wasn't sure if that was a yes or a no.
"Tae," he says over his shoulder without warning, "Kim Taehyung" he finally says as he disappears into the forest.
I think that's a yes.
Now I turn my back to him, heading the opposite direction from him.
I past the old car as I enter back into the woods. A small smile spreads across my face; I think I just gained a new friend.
