Chapter 3

FLASHBACK: 4 YEARS AGO,BUSAN

"COME ON SWEETHEART LETS GO TO THE FAIR." he practically dragged me out of our house so that we could reach to the fair on time.

"LETS GO!!"

AFTER 15 MINUTES:

" lets go to the bumper cars. you know how good I am at driving." he said with a smirk on his face. I just smiled at him.

We sat in the bumper cars, then went on to a rollercoaster where I was practically on his lap holding him as tight as I could so I could divert myself from the death ride. We ate tons of food and won a lot of prizes while playing the claw machines. All the prizes that we won he had given them to me. We ended our amazing day with the ferris wheel, which was magical because all he kept muttering in my ears was how much he loved me and cherished me and would never leave me. I am completely sure that he would never leave me. We are both madly in love with each other. Our days start looking at our sleepy faces and end in each others arms . There is no place I would rather be then in his arms.

"Lets go home now pumpkin."

"Sure" I always melt into goo when he calls me by the nickname he has given me. The origin of the nickname was quite funny and at first I used to get mad at him for using it, but I have come to love it now.

Halloween was the first festival we ever celebrated in our home, so I wanted to go all out with the decorations. Carving pumpkins, getting chocolates for trick or treaters, couples costumes, basically everything. He didn't restrict me once, even if he tried he wouldn't have been able to resist my charms.

We came home with 4 pumpkins, 2 big and 2 small. I had already carved the smaller one when he had finished carving the bigger one. I started carving the bigger one but couldn't handle the vegetable and carving it properly so I ended up having all the seeds fall on me. All the sticky seeds clung to me as he kept on laughing.

In hindsight, it truly was a hilarious moment but I was too proud to admit my mistake of not holding the vegetable properly.

It has been 3 years since we started dating and never has it ever been a dull moment in my life. We do fight and get angry but we always come back to each other again.

"What are you thinking about pumpkin?"

"Nothing much just about us..."

"What about us?" He had visible confusion on his face.

"Just how far we have come in our relationship. I mean I still remember when we were just 16 when we first met and have never stopped hanging out with each other ever since."

He smiled fondly and responded," I remember the first day I met you. You were the most shy kid I had ever seen and I wanted to know you more. From then on you continued to intrigue me to this day pumpkin. Everyone in my group was so happy when they first met you. They were all like 'he is the first person that you have brought that we genuinely like.'"

I laughed when he finished his sentence imitating our friends.

We spent later part of the night eating our dinner, talking and then cuddling with each other while watching a nice movie. Everything in our lives was going just as well, lets hope it stays the same. I have a job and he works in the entertainment industry, our friends all live near us and their lives are going just as well. One of our friend couples is about to get married next year an we couldn't have been happier to have celebrated their engagement together. All other friends are in amazing relationships with their partners and when I tell you life couldn't be better, believe it.

PRESENT: SEOUL 6:45 AM

I woke up when I figured there were tears streaming down my face. This has been happening for about 2 days ever since I met him. I don't understand how this happened, it must be some cruel twist of fate. I don't want to relive the memories that took place 4 years ago, again.

As I was already awake I decided to get ready for some breakfast and a walk. I usually get ready for work by 8:30 as my office is very close to my complex.

I woke up my brother to inform him that I was going out. After that was done all that was left was taking my cash and phone with me because I always walk to the breakfast cart.

After reaching the place and finding myself sitting on a bench near the park that I frequent to, I saw myself looking at the one person in my life who meant so much to me in the past

Jungkook...

He was the sole reason of my existence a while back, he was supposed to be my forever, my lifeline. But now... its funny how everything just changes in a day, from being the other persons lifeline to being the other persons nobody...

I know its never okay to dwell in the past, but when the past is as good as your life will ever be, why will anyone care about the future.

This same exact bench is the place I used to come to cry on when I missed him or my old life. Hoseok hyung used to let me cry on his shoulder and tell me that it was futile to cry about it.

Why did he have to come now when I was finally okay by myself. I knew after him I would never find anyone who would do things for me the way he used to , so I had given hope on love.

What am I supposed to do when he is here? When he is the reason I ever believed love exists.
