My Dark Night

Sunset

"What the hell, why did you pull me out?" he asked coldly as he shakes his hand back.
Placing your hands on your hips, you wanted to explain the situation, "I'm sorry, I just don't want to hang out with your friends." 
"Then why drag me into this?"
You smiled, "That's because my lie would be even more believable when I add you to my plan," giggling, you stuck out your tongue for a second as he rolled his eyes at you.
The boy lets out a sigh, shoving his hands in his jean pocket, "So you're not tutoring me today?" he questioned.
You nodded your head, "Yeah, if you want to go back with your friends, go ahead. I'll just head home," you said, turning your back on him. As you were about to leave, he grabbed your arm. You looked at him in confusion, "What?"
Grinning, he finally releases your arm, "Why don't we hang out ourselves?"
"I-I can't! My dad-"
"Well who gives a shit about your dad?" he smirked, cutting you off from your sentence as he takes your hand once more, "I want to show you something."

Inside, everyone watched as you and Jungkook took off. They weren't able to hear what the two of you said so they knew nothing about the lie and that Jungkook was taking you somewhere else.

"They look so cute together!" Suzy shrieked with excitement while she looks out the window, watching you get carried away by Jungkook. "Are they dating?" she questioned her new friends.
"No." Taehyung answered bluntly in an instant.
Pulling in Suzy, J-Hope smiled wide, "I'm pretty sure we look cuter than them," he bragged as he tightly squeezed Suzy in his arms.
Everyone suddenly made barf noises, implying that what they just saw was disturbing to their vision, "Hyung, you've met like literally five minutes ago, you're already together?" Jimin questioned as he took a seat across from the two new couple.
"Of course!" J-Hope immediately answered, emphasizing his words.

Jungkook took you to the beach where the sun was just about to set. The beautiful scenery made you speechless as you blankly stared into the distance while you stood beside Jungkook whose hand is still tightly holding yours.

You had forgotten about his grasp and just continued to admire the view, "It's so beautiful," was all you could say about the sight.
Jungkook took in the fresh air then breathed it out as he finally lets go of your hand, "I knew you would like it," he smiled.
You turned your gaze towards him, seeing how he's being illuminated by the sun's rays, he doesn't seem like that cold and scary person like you always see. "Why did you take me here?" you wondered.
He stretched his arms out then sat down on the warm, golden sand down below, "To remind you that not everything in life is filled with shit."
You smirked at his ridiculous retort then sat beside him, "Very funny, but thanks," chuckling, you laid back onto the sand, placing your hands under your head for comfort as you look at the red-orange sky.
Jungkook did the same, "In all your years in Korea, you've never been here before?" he questioned.
You shook your head, "No. I'm too busy studying. Too busy being someone I don't want to be," you mumbled the last parts which made them almost inaudible.
"I thought you made that choice by yourself."
You smirked once more, "If I did, I would be happy. I would naturally have friends," you paused to sit up, wrapping your arms around your legs as you placed your chin on top of your knees, "That's why I give music lessons. It involves what I like the most: music."
Jungkook stood up also, almost imitating your every move, with his dark brown eyes locked at you, "Do you consider me as a friend?" he suddenly asked.
You turned your head to look at him, "Before, you were cold, you acted really cold towards me," you began "I thought that you were just another guy that I just happened to tutor. A guy who doesn't give a damn about my problems," for a moment, you hesitated to finish your sentence, "But now, I don't know anymore. You're really complicated to figure out."
He smiled, "Am I?"
You nodded your head, "The first time we met you called me a spoiled brat but now I'm sitting down with you, watching the sunset," you suddenly gave out a smirk, "Why am I telling you the things that I've never told anyone in my life before?"
"Maybe because you found someone you can trust?"
Your head was towards him but your eyes stared down on the ground, "Did I?" you paused, "Or did I find another fake?"
He averted his eyes then stared at the sun that's slowly cascading down, "What do you think? Am I fake to you?"

It was weird. The two of you are replying to each other with questions. What's even weirder is that the two of you are alone together. In a place where you'll feel the fresh breeze of the ocean swiftly pass by, a place where you can easily forget about your problems.

Should you answer honestly? Should you tell him the truth?
Or
Should you lie to make the distance between you two even father.

Jungkook was the first one to understand you. He was the first one that listened to your problems. He seemed so dark but he's actually a really nice person.

Do I like him?

You rolled your eyes so that you could clearly see him. He looks so serious right now, is he really the same Jungkook that called you names, acted cold towards you and – not to mention – the same Jungkook who shoved you into a closet to hide you.
Your eyes ran up and down, like your scanning and admiring the way he looks like at the moment. That moment, you noticed something dangling around his neck. A necklace in the shape of a key. You clenched your fists against your chest where you would normally find your locket dangling as the image of your jewelry box with the locket locked inside of it popped in your thoughts.

Has that always been there?

"Jungkook," you said, grabbing his attention. He turned his head to look at you, the necklace became even more visible and it looked really familiar to you, "What's that?" you questioned curiously, pointing at the silver object.
He looked down to see what you were pointing at. His lips curved into a small smile as he grabs his necklace, extending it so that you were about to see it clearly. "It may seem just like an ordinary necklace that looks like a key but it actually opens a locket," he explained.
Your eyes suddenly shot wide. You couldn't believe your ears. Clenching your fists, you wanted to know more about his story before confirming, "Do you have the locket?"
Jungkook shook his head, "No, I gave it to a girl I met about ten years ago the day before she moved away."
"What happened then?"
He let out a sigh, "After that, we lost contact of each other for all those years and I was unable to find her," Jungkook suddenly giggled as he bit the bottom part of his lip, "Even though I can't remember what she looks like and what her name was, I can still remember the promise we made."
You were still shocked to hear his story match up perfectly with yours. Could he really be the boy that you met ten years ago? Curious, you wanted to hear him say the promise out loud, "What was it?"
"When she comes back, the two of us will be together, as boyfriend and girlfriend."

It is him...
