CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

Jungkook's POV

I sat in my office, reviewing the old albums and revisiting the moments I'd spent in delight. I was alone in the house. For the first time in two years, I'd felt alone, and went down the lane of memories. My sweet memories―my entire youth and growing up―days I've spent with her. Aera. 

My first love. 

My first kiss. 

My first time crushing on a girl. 

My first in everything. 

23rd February 2006

"Jeon Jungkook!" The teacher screamed my name. I didn't bother to answer. I simply bounced my legs with the music rhythm. Music that was playing in the headphone I had on, in the middle of a lecture. 

"JEON JUNGKOOK!" 

I sighed, took off the headphone, and stared at the front. "Yes?" 

The teacher was fuming in anger. He slammed his fist on the table. Some students gasped while a few flinched. I rolled my eyes. "This is the third time in the week." He threw me a glare. "I won't tolerate your bad behavior in the class. If you don't want to study, simply leave the classroom. Do not disrespect me." 

I felt bad for the old man. He frustrated himself a lot. I put the headphone aside and opened the textbook. Mr. Wang was satisfied, so, he turned around to face the blackboard. 

"You are doomed." Taehyung laughed quietly. 

I flicked his head as I sat behind him. He winced, rubbing the spot and glaring at me. 

"You are such a―" he paused when the door of the classroom opened with a thud. Everyone looked at the door. 

A girl ran into the classroom and stopped before Mr. Wang's desk. She was panting, clutching her bag's strap tightly. I stared at her figure. I've seen many girls before, but I never saw a beautiful girl like her. She was different. 

She was beautiful.

She was like a flower. 

Like a rose. 

Beautiful, hot, and fierce. 

I didn't hear what Mr. Wang told her. I didn't hear what she replied. Everything else became a haze as only she shone in my eyes. 

"Aera." 

She told her name to Mr. Wang. And I fell in love with the name. Aera. 

She bowed and walked up to me. I gasped, my eyes widened, jaw dropped as I stared at her. I could hear my heartbeats. Before the day, I didn't know a heart could beat so fast. 

Aera looked at me. She smiled. She lowered her gaze and sat down on the third raw. 

I stared at her back. Her red and wavy hair danced with the wind, and a sweet fragrance of raspberry hit my nostril.
