Empty (Punch sequel)

Part 6

(Jungkook's POV)

I felt someone following me and I didn't need to turn to know it was her. Her steps were still curious and heavy. I smiled to myself taking a turn to the library. Her favorite place.

"Good morning, Ms. Kim." I greeted the librarian who gave me a small smile. From the edge of my eye, I beheld her. She was looking at me, hiding between the kids who were standing in front of the library.

"Good morning, Jungkook." Ms. Kim greeted me and rolled her eyes. I just widened my smile. Ms Kim was an old lady who worked in the library. She always got annoyed whenever I visit the library because I do nothing except for sleeping. "If you sleep today, I will really kick your ass."

"You know how tired I'm because of training." I whined cutely. Oh man, how much I hated it when I act like this, but it was the only way to get out from her grip.

She just sighed and rolled her eyes again. We almost had the same conversation every day. Ms. Kim was someone I respect, but I liked to tease her. She was kind and I really liked her.

"I was just kidding." I said, still feeling Minyoung's eyes on me. "I don't think I will sleep today."

Ignoring how Ms. Kim's eyes widened, I started to walk through the library's bookshelves.

She liked the space section, she had always been interested in galaxy and the sky.

Minyoung... Do you remember the first time we met? I couldn't believe that I met her for the first time three times. She never recognized me. Am I easy to forget about? Why did you have to lose your memory?

Why did I always recognize her whenever I met her? Why couldn't we just be normal kids?

I noticed that there was now a large gap between us and I hid behind one of the shelves, watching her walk passed me. Then I followed her and stopped right when she stopped. She looked to her right and then to her left, observing her shoulder slumping as she sighed.

She turned and came face to face with me, her eyes widened and the shock showed over her face. She never noticed me when I walked behind her. She always got scared.

Getting the same reaction I expected, she jumped backward as a gasp skipped her lips.

She never noticed me how much I cared about her.

And I shouldn't do that anymore....

The day before

I was surprised to find him calling me. It had been a while since I saw him. We never got the chance to get close to each other and he really didn't like me. I could see that in his eyes.

Meeting near my school, here he was. Standing and leaning on the wall of the school gate. I approached him and he lifted his eyes up to look at me.

I didn't know what I am supposed to feel.

"Why did you want to meet?" I asked Jimin who was standing in front of me. Fire shot out from his eyes. What a glare. I scoffed, inwardly.

"I remember you saying that you wouldn't show up in front of her again." He snapped. I could hear nothing except the frustration and anger in his voice, even though it was what I'm supposed to feel. "You said, you won't come back."

"Well, What a small world. She is the one who always shows up in front me." I said, rolling my eyes. It was true. No matter how much I wanted to forget about her, she'd always shown up again in front me. Making it so hard to do it.
