~~~~~PRESENT~~~~~
KIM MILA
I'm rendered speechless as I stare at my past.
Jungkook stands before me dressed in a dark shirt that's tucked into acid-washed denim jeans.
He flashes me the same friendly smile he used to when we were younger and has more muscle than he used to back in high school. Those emerald eyes assess me curiously.
Why do we have to bump into each other here? thought he was living somewhere overseas.
We are both speechless, and I'm not sure if he recognizes me. I feel like someone's choking me. The air in my lungs feels heavy as anxiety swirls inside my body.
"Mila?" He smiles.
Before I can say anything, he continues, "God, you look so different. I almost didn't recognize you for a second."
"How are you doing? Jungkook?" I try to mimic his smile.
"I'm doing good," he says and then steps closer. "What about you?"
His eyes do a subtle once-over. There's the deceiving lady-killer smile and the confident way in which he carries himself like he's some kind of god that people should worship.
He hasn't changed at all. He's the same.
"I'm great," I say and hope that he leaves me alone.
Which is the truth. Without him, I'm doing much better, and I don't need him to be here to complicate things.
"Mommy, look what junkoo gave me."
And when Jun calls me Mommy. Jungkook's expression changes. He's not smiling anymore. He looks taken aback. I'm hoping he doesn't put two and two together and find out the truth.
"Jun, it's not nice to take things that don't belong to you." i said
Jun pouts. "But junkoo gave it to me! He's my new best friend." Jun said
He shows me a superhero keychain. He has that sparkle in his eyes, which usually happens when he sees something he loves.
"JUN!" I said again
"Oh, it's all right, he can keep it." Jungkook says, laughing.
"Yay!" Jun doesn't stop to listen to me and runs off toward a group of other kids.
"He's a sweet kid." Jungkook said
"Wait until you see him at home." I replied
"You're married now?" He sounds almost disappointed.
