Our Last Promise

1. Their first encounter

"Sometimes people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them," I said.
Isaac shot me a look. "Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That's what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway. Don't you believe in true love?"
We believe in god. We believe in destiny. We believe in love. We believe that everything happens for a reason. And we believe in promises that we made.
We made promise, we broke promises to keep another promises and so on. This is how the world is going and so we. Seems like, it was well written.
But also, Promises are not easy to break when you both exchange your emotions through tingling your pinky fingers. Even, kids without knowing the meaning of their promise, engage themselves in a ring of attachments for an eternity.

"eomma, this skool is big. Am I going to study there?" A little girl around 4 or 5 years old with a red-white bowed frock which has big flowers on it, two small ponytails over her head with two cute bunny clips, asked her mother while holding her fingers tightly. Most probably she was afraid of this big wide school which was going to preserve her next future.
" yes baby. Don't you like it?" " Aniya. It's good. "
" Then, let's go inside. "
Saying these they both stepped in.
(Time skips)
" Oh, sure Mrs. Lee. She can join from tomorrow itself. It hasn't crossed even one month since the session started and being a transferred student, she should start her classes soon. And yn also seems to be a good student, right? "
Within seconds she nodded making her soon to be principal chuckle.
" Okay then, Miss Kang. I'll take my leave now. See you tomorrow. "
" Sure. Bye yn. "
She waved her tiny palm and as soon as they left, a toddler boy with dark brown hair and deep brown-black eye entered with his mom who was in her early 30's. The little girl saw him entering the principal room and heard her say, " Oh, Taehyung, how are you and Mrs. Kim please have a seat. "
" Eomma, who is he? " " I don't know baby, maybe he'll be your soon to be classmate"
She made an 'O' face indicating her mom that she understood.
(Time skips to night in her bedroom)
(Her mom was brushing her fingers through her little's hair making her sleep early as she had her first day in school.)
" Eomma? " " Hmm? " " Do I need to go to school? " " Aigoo ( she faceplamed herself) you are asking this now? Why? Don't you wanna study, make new friends and play with them? " "There will be more kids like me? " " Yes baby, there will be more. You'll play with them, study with them. Will you not? " (She nodded with her big doe eyes)
" Then you have to sleep early. Tomorrow we have to go to school. Now, come on, sleep. "
Her mom pecked at her cheeks making her giggles and within minutes she went to her dreamland.
(Time skips to morning)
The little girl woke up early as she was so excited for her first day. Her mother prepared her lunch box.
" Eomma, I'm ready, less go. " She clapped her hands after completing. Her mother nodded.
" Yn, don't forget to call appa before leaving, ok? " Her mom reminded her and she nodded and ran to grab the phone. Dialing the number of her dad, her smile got bigger. In a few seconds her dad received it.
" Is it my princess? " her dad replied from the other side of the phone. " Yeah appa, how do you know? "
The little one asked in excitement. " Didn't I tell you your appa is a magician " her mom replied to her and her appa which made him laugh.
"Hahah, right right. Btw, did you both get ready, my sweeties? You should leave now otherwise you'll be late. " " Yes honey, we are ready, we're about to leave. Bye love, take care and come back soon. I miss you. " Her mom said being a little emotional. " I'll be back honey, really soon. *Kisses* okay then, call you later my babies, bye" "bye appa" saying that her dad cut the call and she took her backpack and her mom locked the door.
Reaching the parking lot, her mom opened the door of their car and started the engine. The little one who was so excited to go to her new school sat too.
" Ready? " Her daughter nodded.
Then, she drove away.
*Time skips until they reach the school*
She stopped her car and got out of it with her daughter. Checking the watch she told the little one that it's not late yet and told her to enter the school. Waving at her, her daughter went inside.
" Which class is mine? " She kept looking at the classes which were full of students just like her.
" Lee Yn? " Yn turned and found a lady wearing spectacles. She nodded. " You didn't find your class? Okay come with me. I'm your new class teacher. Ms. Choi Allenna. " Yn bowed to her and greeted her saying good morning. Then they both entered the class. Their class was not silent at all, it was full of noise but as soon as the lady who was their new class teacher arrived they sat on their seats.
" Hello, student, I'm Choi. Allena, your class teacher and this is Lee Yn. Yn, introduce yourself to your class. " She nodded and blinked like she reminded the lines she needed to tell or she had prepared it earlier as her introduction.
" Annyeonghaseyo (hello) friends. I'm Lee Yn. From today, I'll be studying with you. Thank you. " Everyone clapped listening to her except for one boy.
" Alright Yn. Let's decide your seat. Umm, there *pointing a seat* beside taehyung you go and sit there. From today, you'll sit there. Taehyung, raise your hands up. " The toddler named Taehyung didn't notice as he was looking outside. " Taehyung! "
Then he shook his head in shock as the teacher was quite lauder than before. " Where are you looking at? Didn't I tell you to raise your hand? Stand up" he stood up looking down. The little girl, yn went to her seat. She forwarded her hand for handshake to her bench partner Taehyung but he turned around.
" Huh, bad boy! " She mumbled cutely.
Then their classes started. Yn being the most attentive student was answering and doing all the stuff that was given to her. But in the opposite site, 'bad boy' Taehyung didn't have a bit of concentration in studies. Seems like they were so different if yn is south pole then, Taehyung will be the north pole.
One after one, that's the way the classes got ended. As they were toddler and studying at one grade ( class one) so their school broke out soon in the lunch time.
As soon as the bell rang, the students bid their teacher and run to reach their parents. Yn was walking slowly but the other kids were running. One of them pushed yn unknowingly and she fell down causing her knee to get some scratches. It became red and her eyes became teary. Still she managed to stand up but couldn't walk properly. Taehyung was seeing everything but he was not sure what to do. He put out his handkerchief and ran to yn which surprised her.
" What are you doing? " Without replying to her question he roped his handkerchief to her wound and helped her to walk. Her mom was standing far away, but recognising her daughter she immediately went to her and asked what had happened.
" Aunty, she fell there and got some cuts. " Taehyung replied. " Omo ynie baby * she carried her * thanks dear. " He bowed and left away from there quickly.
Her mom took her home safely and after freshing up she put some antiseptic on her wounds.
" Who is that boy? " " Oh, he is my benchbate but he is bad boy. "
" I don't think he is. He is good I think."
"No"
