"Who is she?" My friend Jaehyun asked me. I didn't answer his question, but my gaze was on her. I looked away when she peeked at me. Her beautiful eyes are now filled with rage and sadness. 'Is she upset that I didn't talk to her?' I glanced at her as she passed by the table. Her friends are behind her. I sighed, knowing I would have to watch her from afar.

"Bro, are you going to tell me about that girl? Why was she looking at you like that?" Jaehyun asked, turning around and looking at her...

Kim Jisoo

I don't have to answer him. I watched as she got into the car and looked at me once before the car drove away. I rolled my lower lip into my mouth as memories of the evening hit my mind. Her oval shaped face glimpsed at me with the same curious eyes that I had seen growing up.

I remember the first time I saw her. The day when Namjoon hyung took me home, she was in the living room playing house with Yoongi and Hoseok hyung. I don't remember much of her at the beginning of my stay at their house.

But I knew she used to play with the boys as she didn't have any friends at home. I never tried to have a conversation with her but saw her grow up with us. I lived with Namjoon and his family for almost five years before I decided to move out of their house.

I got a small apartment for myself. Namjoon was supportive and he understood me. His parents never treated me as an outsider. I felt at home when I was with them. Jisoo was scared of me, I could say that. Knowing she was scared of me, I never disturbed her or made an effort to talk.

I smiled as I remembered her sending most of the time in the dining area. She used to do her homework, projects and stick the photographs in her scrapbook on the dining table. Yoongi and Hoseok hyung used to help her with homework over there, but as soon as she saw me she used to run away.

I never understood why she always run away or why she was so scared of me. I had a crush on her...Pushing the nervousness away, I tried to talk with her but it never worked out. The minute I entered the room, she scooped away and locked herself in another room.

I would be lying if I said I was okay with that. As the years passed, she grew up in a beautiful...Pretty girl with rosy cheeks. As she didn't have friends, she used to spend most of her time in the house.

I didn't want her to feel uncomfortable in my presence or lock herself in her room when I was present. I didn't feel it was right, so most of the time I used to stay out or in the gym. Saving up enough money, I moved out and rented a small apartment.

I haven't seen her in all three years. There were times when I thought of seeing her but I couldn't because we both belonged to two different worlds.

There wasn't a day when I forget about her. I remember her every day, but as the days passed I became busy with my life. The life hustle in real and it kept me busy for a long time. The night when I saw Jisoo among the crowd. I couldn't believe it but as I kept staring at her, I confirmed that it was her, Kim Jisoo.
