just a bit of affection 2. (kth.)

17.SYRIA

It has been almost 2 years since I have seen Jia.

Because of both of our tight schedule we could not fly to each other.

She wasn't able to come back either, she was hosting shows back to back. Even award shows.
Flying to countries. And excelling studies also.

Everyone was proud of her. She was always on the headline In Korea, Praised by everyone and her achievements for Korea in other countries.

I was always able to hear news about her from different sources.

I was about to text her but then when I checked the time it would be around 1 pm there, she would be having her class. She rarely attends class so I didn't disturb her.

I put my phone on the table and left to get me some food.

??? Pov...
I was walking when saw taehyung leave his phone open on he table and leave.

I hesited at first but when I gathered courage and picked the phone it was jia's chat box open.

Out of curiosity I scrolled it and every chat made me furious. I clenched the phone tight.

Out of instincts I typed their 'let's Break up'. It took me a while to realise what I did. But it was too late. The message had been read and he was already blocked.

He was returning back, I could see him come back from afar. I just put the phone in my jeans pocket and walked away.

The cafeteria was empty so no one noticed but the phone was still with me.

TAEHYUNG POV...
I went halfway to realise I forgot my phone on the table.

Why go all the way back so I decided to take the food and then get my phone.

But when I returned. My phone wasn't there, I looked everywhere but it wasn't there. I decided to ask people around but no one was there. They don't even have camera in the cafeteria. That made it so difficult.

The whole evening jimin, jungkook and I were finding the phone. I even asked Mr. Lee but he told its switch off and he will try to track it as soon as possible.

The phone had photos of Jia, and many more stuff which were important to me.

Moreover someone can misuse my phone.

But we could not find it. Atlas I gave up. And ordered a new phone but still told Mr. Lee to find it.

I borrowed jimin's phone to call Jia but it was switched off. She never had her phone switched off before. I tried from different phone but she didn't pick the call. I even told her sibling to call her and anyone I could think off, but no one could get hold of her.

Jia POV...
I finished my class and got out of there. I switched on my phone and it had so many calls. And non of them I wanted to speak to except one.

It was the call from the UN head office. People around as always were clicking my photos when I got out of there so I can call back.

I went to the garden. When I called back.

"hello?" I asked.

" hello, am I talking to miss cha Jia?" the other side asked probably the secretary.

" well, yes I am."

"the director asked to personally call you so to ask you again about this. As you already know that we are sending a group of influential youngsters to Syria along with the UN peace keeping force to make their voice raise and also to help them.

he asked me to ask you again if you could join. I know you had rejected it because of it being dangerous. But we assure the safety moreover we lack people and they are in misery.

We can Even give you time to ask-" she was completing but I had already decided. I need to run away and this was the best way.

I looked up " yes, I would like to go".

"pardon?" the secretary asked again.

"yeah, I agree. As much of my knowledge you all are going tomorrow evening. I'll join" I said.

"is it okay. I mean won't you have to ask about it to your family?"

"no, it's completely fine. I am an adult" and they won't let if I ask.

"oh well then miss. See you soon." she says and hung.

It's just around a week excursion anyway. I put my phone back ignoring the calls and walk away.

The professors must have been informed by now.

Earlier I disagreed because taehyung told me to. But I don't have a reason now. Do I?.

I just sent a audio recording to eun woo and jae yi saying I'm fine otherwise they would probably come here with the amount of calls I'm getting.

TAEHYUNG POV...
After a long time eun woo called me saying Jia is fine and she is just busy and wanted some time for herself.

For herself? I didn't understand a thing.

Anyway its good that she is fine..

I got my new phone but the storage recovery would take time because my number card was in the phone which got stolen.

....... I also got busy trying to get away from joo yeong. This how days went. It had been around 4 days since my phone got stolen.

Jia POV...
I arrived Syria 3 days ago. Its really bad condition here. We met different people talked to them made recordings about their interview.

Distributed necessity items to woman, kids and men. Helping them a bit. Spreading a bit of happiness between the war torn country. Among the youngsters it was just me, 3 more girls and 4 boys. We already knew each other. I was the youngest.

We spent days with the military. They were actually fun. Playing, dancing and trying to be happy.

I was able to keep smiling as always.
