"Yes! Hongdae, here I come!!!" Jimin cries out in celebration as we all exited the building.
We finally got to finish our last examination which marks the end of our first semester and the start of summer vacation.
My phone buzzed and I look at it to see a message.
Hi! This is Jung So Min. I hope you still remember me. Please go to the school's main hall so you could see the work I did for you and your friend.
Jung So Min? Who's that? And which friend is she talking about?
"Do you know any Jung So Min?" I ask my two friends and they both shook their heads.
Since our building was near the campus main hall, I told Bo Gyo and Sun Shin about the sms I received and that if we could take a detour there. They both agreed.
There were lots of students closely packed in front of the wide bulletin board. They were all gushing, laughing and then swooning at whatever they were all gawking at.
"Woah! There's so many people. What are they looking at?" Sun Shin blurted out, standing on tiptoes to try and see what it is all about.
"I'm not sure." I replied honestly.
On my periphery, I see two students were eyeing me, making me feel uncomfortable. And then they whisper at each other before leaving the huddled crowd.
On the less crowded side, we saw photographs of students and we soon realized it was taken during the festival.
"Yah! That's us!" Sun Shin points out to a candid photo of the three of us, arm in arm. I remember this was when we were coming back from IU's concert. We saw another photo of the three of us on that same spot. On the corner of the photo was a watermark, So Min Photography.
And then it hit me.
"That photographer. She couldn't have-" I cut myself off and hastily squeezed past the other students who were ogling at the photos that were plastered on the wide bulletin board. I wasn't sure what I will see, but I would know my own face when I see it, right?
And then I found it. It wasn't that hard to find, with its size that was so much bigger than all the other pictures. Also, it was in the center of the board.
"Dae Eun-a!" Sun Shin and Bo Gyo caught up with me and they both gasped.
"Daebak... Is that you? Woah!"
"Well, isn't that a masterpiece?" Bo Gyo commented and I agree with her.
It was the picture of me and Jungkook during the festival. We were sitting together on the swing, smiling genuinely at the camera. It looked natural and not forced.
Sun Shin was commenting at how I look like a model while all I was looking at right now is Jungkook. I'm in love with how innocent and young he was depicted in this picture. It was so much like the old him.
He looked genuinely happy.

After seeing the picture, I sent a reply to Jung So Min to thank her. She really did great. Then, as a reply, she sent me all the photos she has taken of me and Jungkook. There was about twenty of them and they all look great. Seeing Jungkook smile like this made me think when did he stop being cheerful like he used to?
Then I was reminded of my conversation with Choi Areum. My heart dropped at the thought of it.
If all that she told me was true, what must I do then?
