krista's pov

Finishing my final exams before our summer begins without worry is a relief; making sure that I'm still holding the Dean's List and that I would still make my parents proud. Getting this kind of degree in college was a tough one to do but since it's a scholarship, I wouldn't want to waste the one and only opportunity. I enjoy it though, I'm living my dream.

Speaking of which, our classes had ended and I'm beyond excited about my trip to Korea, for the second time, but with Jungkook. There is a day left before we say, 'See you again, California,' and head to his hometown. I've been longing to know more about Jungkook's life in his original home, which enlightens me every time I think about it.

Jungkook; he's nice, adorable, elegant, caring, enthusiastic, and unique. Those characteristics of his are my favorite. Those characters are also one of the reasons why I love him. Yes, I do love Jungkook.

He may have so many imperfections just like all of us, but even if he has so many flaws, he still tries his best to improve and shows me a lot of efforts. I already love him even if I scare him that I would break up with him; which won't happen.

Jin; I, apparently, fell in-love with him but he didn't. I was rejected by him and I already accepted my faith that there's no destiny between us. He's loving, caring, nice, generous, awkward at most times, and passionate.

He's a famous model, I know. There were dating rumors about me and Jin when we were in Korea and paparrazi just started flashing pictures of us. It's probably one of the reasons why Irene and Jin broke up because of that stupid article.

I started to wonder how Jin is right now since we don't talk anymore like we used to do. He still hasn't noticed me on any of his social media accounts so I'm so close to losing hope. He's probably forgotten about me because it's been two months since we last talked.

I don't even know if I'm going to find Jin in Korea. First of all, if Jungkook knew about my plan, he wouldn't even allow me. End of conversation. Second, he doesn't like Jin at all; he's his rival, according to him. Lastly, Jungkook wanted the both of us to travel Seoul; just the two of us.

I just hope that faith would connect between us and we'd bump by coincidence.

As I finished packing up my bags for Seoul, Jungkook called through my phone. I pressed the green button and started to put it on my ear. I started to sigh after a long day of fixing and decided to respond.

"Hello?" I started to speak as a sign that I accepted his call. I slumped myself on the couch and grabbed a pack of junk food.

"Hey Krista, I just want to tell you that I'm at the elevator of your apartment right now with my bags and a box of doughnuts. For short, I'll be staying overnight," Jungkook told me, leaving me speechless and my face so blank.

"What?" I shrieked. He hummed as a response but I cleared my throat. "No, I mean, I'm still not ready. My house is a big mess at the moment. You should've told me earlier, Jungkook."

"I wanted to surprise you," he giggled.

"Surprise shouldn't be announced, Jungkook. How am I supposed to feel surprised when you just called me? It's called making me panic, Jungkook. Not a surprise," I retorted. He just laughed and heard a knock on the door. Oh shit, it's him. "No way I'm going to open the door, you idiot."

"No doughnuts for you then," he demanded. I rolled my eyes and groaned. My phone still on my ear, I opened the door, a gorgeous Jungkook in my sight.

We still didn't end the call and he was smiling. God, his lovely smile kills me deep inside. I just love him so much.

"Hi babe," he greeted with a shown-teeth smile and pecked my lips. I kissed him back and hugged him.
