Notebook

Chapter 8

Enjoy your read!

**********

It was dark when Jin returned back to the school after meeting the director.

He stormed towards the classroom and took out the notebook from where it was placed.
He flipped over the pages frantically and stopped when he noticed 2 pages that were stuck together somewhere in between all the other pages, he failed to notice it before.

He placed the notebook on the table and carefully tried peeling the 2 pages apart. The pages came off one another but what he saw in those pages broke him.

The pages showed 'Marriage' written across the 2 adjacent pages with large letters. But the page was plain except for the written letters- no doodles or decorations unlike the every other page in the notebook.

Jin was furious and walked outside to the fire pit along with the notebook in his hands.

He stared at the fire before throwing the notebook in the fire.

He was glaring at the notebook that was getting engulfed by the fire. He turned around and took 2 steps before pausing at the realization of what he just did.

He ran back to the fire pit and attempted to take out the notebook that was still intact. He was not able to pick it up due to the heat and kicked at the iron bowl making its contents to fall on the floor.

He used his leg to separate the book from the embers as he wore shoes. He then bent down, picked up the notebook in his hand and started juggling with it as it was still hot.

The pages were all good, except the cover that now had charred edges.

He kissed and hugged the notebook and walked to his cabin deciding that he had to meet Tae without delaying anymore.

**********

The very next day and Jin was walking around the MOTS international school with his backpack hanging over one of his shoulders. He was searching for Taehyung.

Yes, he did not know how Taehyung looked or sounded, but he had a way to find him.

The pole star not only guided Tae in his life, but now it would guide Jin too in finding Tae. Jin smiled at the thought and moved forward.

He stopped walking when he saw a good-looking man teaching children who were around Kookie's age how to dance.
The man was eventually stopping every now and then to fix the stance and posture of the children.

Jin tried to take a peek of his left hand eagerly, but he was not eager in that man when he could not find the tattoo on his hand.

He walked further and reached a open field. He then saw a man who was slim and was about Tae's height teaching children how to paint. When the said man was helping out a child with the paint strokes, Jin took a look at his hand.

He shook his head when he did not find the tattoo on this man too and moved out of there.

Now he reached the school's swimming pool. He saw children sitting near the pool with a man standing infront of them.

He was teaching them about science or wrestling? Because Jin was confused now when saw 2 children come out and hug each, where one was trying to lift the other.

When the man was explaining to the children something while the hand gesturing, Jin took a peek at his left hand and saw nothing.

When the man felt someone's stares he turned and saw Jin looking at him.

Jin turned away casually making the man to turn away too continuing with his class.

Jin continued to search for Tae all around the school. To his dismay, he could not find Tae. Jin left the school to return back.
