Still With You [JIKOOK]

1.

As a young boy, I always dreamed about my prince charming coming on a white horse and taking me to his castle. I thought that my dreams would come true when we shifted to a new neighbourhood. It was a very quiet neighbourhood as there were not many houses. another reason being that it was at the end of the town.

My mom showed me my room and I took my things and started arranging my room. As I was arranging, I opened my room window. The window was directly opposite to our neighbour's house. Their house was much more bigger than ours. It also looked scary as it had pale colours with dead creepers on the wall. Their gate was huge and they had a big garden. There was a forest behind the house. The forest had many tall evergreen trees and it was dense.

Then I realize that I had been observing the house for too long and I had to finish unpacking. I closed the window and started arranging my room.

Soon, my mom called me to have lunch. There were muffins for lunch. My fav. As I was eating, my mom told me to visit our neighbours and introduce our family to them. I nodded my head and went out after lunch. 

There were not many houses so it was quick. Everyone were very sweet and welcomed us warmly. Some of them even gave me gifts. 

Now, lastly it was the scary mansion. I took in a breath and pushed the gates. It made a very noisy sound as I opened it.  I then went inside the compound. It was a specious area with dead bushes and flowers. Guess no onw took care of it. I quickly ran towards the door and rang the doorbell. It took some time but then a lady around the ae of my mom came and opened the door. She was pretty I must say.

I cleared my throat and introduced myself and my family to her. She smiled and welcomed us warmly. She then told me to wait and went inside the house. She soon came out with a covered basket. She handed me the basket as a welcome gift. I thanked her and went away. Well, we should never judge a book by its cover.

I then happily went home and kept all the gifts on the table and wished "Good Night" to my parents and went to sleep.

The next morning' I woke up early and prepared breakfast. I was really excited as today is my first day at my new college. I got ready and moved out.

It was a foggy day with a little bit of dewdrops. I reached the campus. It was not that big but it was spacious. I directly went towards the Principle's office to collect my routine. After collecting, I started searching for my classroom. I decided to ask someone. There was a guy near the pillar standing alone, reading a book. I went to him and tapped his shoulders. He looked at me. He was tall, Taller than me. Maybe 5-6 inches difference, he had long weavy hair and was not that tan but not that fair. His skin color was perfect. He had sharp Jawline and a lip piercing  and also eyebrow piercing and his hands were full of tattoos. This guy really like to experiment with his body. Anyways , he looked at me with an unreadable expression. I cleared my throat and asked about my classroom. He told me that he was also going to attend the same class as me so he took me to the classroom.

We reached the classroom and I thanked him and he replied welcome and went away. I went inside and took a seat. I then observed that his seat was just two seats behind me. Soon, the teacher entered and started with his class. As I was attending the class, I felt like someone was staring at me from behind. I felt uncomfortable under that gaze. I looked behind and saw no one staring at me. I was confused. I turned back towards the teacher and started listening to the teacher. But still, I felt someone staring at me.

After class, I directly rushed towards my house. As I was walking, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned to look at whose footsteps it were and it was the same boy I met in the morning. I released the breath I was holding and started walking. I didn't look back after that but I still heard the footsteps till I reached my house. After I reached my house gate, I looked behind and saw that the boy was going inside the house opposite to our house. Then I thought that he might be the kind lady's son. I decided to talk to him tomorrow.

I went to my house and went to my room and changed my clothes. Then I went down to eat something. I searched the whole kitchen but found nothing to eat. 

I went out to buy some food as I was really hungry. After reaching the market, I went to buy some snacks and vegetables for tonight's dinner. As I was buying the vegetables, I felt someone's body behind me.  I looked behind and saw the same boy. He was standing behind me buying vegetables. Both of us paid together and started walking home. 

As I was walking, I heard him calling me. I responded and turned behind and saw that he had already reached me and now, we wee walking together. We introduced ourselves.

His name was Jungkook, Jeon Jungkook. That name was stitched in my heart forever. Never did I thought that it would hurt thinking about his name in the future.

Starting the next day, we started going to school together. He was the type of person who did not mingle much with people. He was mostly in the library or with me in the garden. It was comfortable having him near me and to talk to him. To others, he was scary and gave dark aura. But for me he was a really sweet person with so much humor that you would never get tired of.

As we were returning home from school, he asked me about my future plans. I told him I've not thought about it. He told me I should plan everything and keep as our high school graduation is at the end of this year and after that, we had to make our future.

I nodded my head and asked him about his future. He replied saying that he was already working. I didn't understand back then but when I understood, it was too late.

Over the time' we became really close. We were the best of friends. He used to usually come to my house for homework and my parents also became close to him. But I never visited his house.

One day, he came to my house for homework. I invited him to my room and we started doing our homework. Soon, my eyes felt heavy and I unknowingly slept off. When I woke up, I was all alone in the room. I sat straight and stretched my body. I then looked at my homework and found out that it had been done. I flipped through the pages and at the last page there was something written in bold letters. I flipped through and opened the page. It was written by him. I knew his hand writing by heart. He wrote : " YOUR HOMEWORK HAS BEEN DONE BY ME. BTW, YOU LOOK REALLY CUTE WHILE SLEEPING." I blushed reading that message and closed the notebook. Who knew the next time I reed his message, it would be hell.

Time flew and at last the time came for our graduation. I wore my graduation cap and gown and moved out to my school with my parents. As I reached the school, I saw him with two people. One was the good lady, his mom and the other was a man. Maybe his dad. I waved at him and he waved back at me. I ran towards him and hugged him. My parents soon came and wished him. He wished them back and then introduced his parents to us. His dad use to travel a lot for his work and that is why we don't see him. He came out to attend his graduation.

Soon, or class teacher called us as the function was about to begin. We were sitting together in the first row. The graduation ceremony soon started and the academic topper was Jungkook. I was not shocked. He was pretty good in everything. I was indeed very happy for him.

The ceremony ended and we clicked some class pictures. After the class pictures, me and Jungkook also took a picture together. Our parents were waiting for us outside the hall. My parents congratulated Jungkook and praised him for being this good in studies. Jungkook thanked them and asked them if he could take me somewhere. My parents happily agreed.

We ran to our secret spot. We didn't talk for some moments and just held our hands together and enjoyed eachothers presence. After some time, he said, "Starting today, we're going to go out own ways. But I want to promise you something. You'll be the only one in my heart till death. I'll wait for you to come back and on that day, I'll propose to you in the most beautiful and romantic way anyone could propose to someone. But for now you also please promise me that you'll wait for me."

I stood there shocked and unable to move. I never expected him to say that in the most cutest way. Tears were in my eyes. I couldn't speak. I noddedy head as I couldn't trust my voice.

He smiled and kissed my forehead. "I promise I'll wait for you and never leave you. I promise." I said as I hugged him and cried on his shoulder. Who knew that promises were supposed to be broken and that PROMISES NEVER LASTS FOREVER..........
