It has been three days now.

We still are here, on this island. Aunt Senna, Haniya's mother is now pretty well. We have been trying to get some work.

Yes, Jungkook and I have decided to stay here. None of us are returning. We're starting anew. To be honest, it's like I got born again. And it's freaking amazing. To be new, be free and be around the people who love to be around me. Uncle Bihwal has been helping us a lot too. Sometimes I cook for his customers. His shop is getting repaired and they wear good clothes now, clothes which are not too sandy and torn.

Jungkook has opened up a lot than before to me. He sings so beautifully that tourists a lot of times just stop by hearing his angelic voice. He doesn't take money from them, instead he tells them to have a visit at the shop. He has been doing a lot for both of us. The more I'll say good about that man, the least it is. Not even for once he asked us anything about staying or leaving. It's like he has taken us in.

As for us, we have been the same. Same arguments everyday. But I must say, if I'm here, living and going on....it's all because of him. He's like an angel sent from heaven right when I needed someone the most. I'm thankful to God, a lot.

Haniya - Hey!
Me - Oh hey! What's up?
Haniya - Dad's looking for you. Where's Jungkook?
Me - Jungkook! We gotta go!
Jungkook - Coming!

He joins us and we go to the shop.
By the time we arrive we see a small group of people by the shop.

Uncle Bihwal - Kids do you know them?
Me - Huh?

He points a group of five girls and as soon as they look at us they start running and circling around us. Well,.....not us, more like around Jungkook. He is definitely taken aback but isn't that much surprised. Does he know them?

Me - You know them?
Jungkook - I uh-
Girl 1 - Omg JK! Never thought I'll see you here. Where are the other members? Are they here too?
Girl 2 - Kookie you're my bias! I can't tell you how much I love you!*sobbing* I'm so happy!
Girl 3 - Can we please please please get a selfie with you?

What the hell is this? Kookie? Who are these girls? And bias? What does that mean? What members are they talking about? Jungkook is trying to calm them but all is going in vain.

Uncle Bihwal - Do you know them?
Me - No. But I guess they do.....were they here looking for him?
Uncle Bihwal - Yes surely. They just came to the shop and when they saw me they started pleading and telling me to call Jungkook. They even showed me a picture of Jungkook, that's why I told Haniya to get you two.
Me - Hmmph. Maybe they're his friends. But again, they're all over him, laughing and talking.
Uncle Bihwal - It doesn't look like he knows them. He's pretty much taken aback.
Me - I think so too.
Uncle - Let's just wait. Can you help me with the wall hangings? I'm not really good at it, old man you know.
Me - Yes! I'd love to.

We get inside and I start to pick the decors that look good. But somewhere in my mind, I can't seem to let go the thought that those girls knew Jungkook. What if.....they make him leave? That is very much possible.

Then something just pops in my mind.

Me - Uncle, can I use your phone for a bit?
Uncle Bihwal - Yes. Here.

I don't know his last name. But it's still worth a try, isn't it? Sorry Jungkoook, I'm indirectly invading your privacy. Really sorry for that.

But I didn't really need to even write his name fully. I had just typed up to 'Jung' and Google showed up his name along with his picture.

Me - Jeon.....Jungkook.....South Korean singer....youngest member and vocalist of the famous boy band BTS?

I click on his pictures and I just look with awe. Is it really Jungkook? I mean, he looks exactly the same but......I can't believe this is him. He's not like me. He is.....famous, he has so many fans from all around the world. Sometimes I did think he was a singer because of how good he sings. Now it makes sense.
