Part 17

  It's been four years' sins that very special day.
A lot has changed sins then...
I became a part of the Pledis entertainment, Minju went off to US in search of her dreams, and well, Jun became my boyfriend.
But probably the biggest change was the way I developed, I became a different person, the person I was always hiding inside because I was always too scared to free this side of me. Simply put it, I became more confident and... well,... more myself.
From my trainee years I learned a lot, including simply just to believing in myself and the group, no matter what happens, and well... How to be a good leader.
Oh, that reminds me, Our group, fifteen debuted just yesterday.
We are a good group, but also quite a unique one. Who could have guessed that a group's member could have been both, the leader and the maknae?

Moving on, ever sins that day, mine and Jun's relationship has really improved. We are both currently dating, however we only see each other on Sundays for couple of hours due to our tight schedules.
The good thing is that we both love the things we chose to do and we both share the same passion.

"Yuri? What are you doing?" Jun sat down next to me.
"I'm just looking over all of photos, just trying to remember what happened through all this time." I smiled at Jun.
"Wow... I can't believe how long it's been." Jun gently took the photo, I was holding. The photo was of all of us three just after the concert. "How do you think she's doing? We haven't heard from her in so long."
"I'm sure she's doing just fine." I smiled
"I have an idea, let's clean all of this, and let's go out." Jun began to put all of the photo albums away.
"Why so sudden?" I asked, a little surprised.
"I just feel like having a nice day out with you today, so what do you say?"
"Let's go then."

"Where do you want to go?" I asked.
"I don't know, let's just walk around for now, and we'll come up with something on our way."
"Okay."
We both walked into the park, holding hands.
"Yuri, do you want some ice-cream?" Jun stopped and pointed at the ice-cream stand.
"Yeah, let's have some ice-cream!"
Jun smiled, as he let go off of my hand and walked up to the ice-cream stand. I walked up to a bench nearby and sat down.
"Which one would you prefer, chocolate or strawberry?" Jun suddenly appeared in front of me, making me jump.
"Umm-... Can I have the chocolate one?"
"Yeah, sure." Jun held the ice-cream out.
"Thank you."

After I finished my ice-cream, Jun and I continued on walking.
"Yuri, tell me honestly, is there anywhere you want to go to?" Jun asked.
"Umm-... Acutely, there is. I really want to go to the zoo."
"Let's go to the zoo, then."
We made our way to the train station.

After a while, our train arrived. We both walked in, and took or sits.
After couple of minutes, the train stopped.
"We apologise for the sudden alert, but the train has temporally crashed. We should be off in between one to two hours. Sorry for any incontinent." The voice from the speakers spoke.
After hearing the message, I had no idea of how to react. I froze up, as I began to get more are claustrophobic.
"Yuri! Calm down." I felt Jun's gentle and warm embrace.
I tightly, wrapped my arms around Jun.
"It's alright, just calm down." Jun said softly, as he stroked my hair.

After a while the train started to move again. I gave a deep sigh, as I sat back and relaxed.
I picked up my phone and looked at the time. "What?! We won't be able to go to the zoo, it's already five PM. The close in one hour."
"We will still be able to have a walk around the zoo for at least thirty minutes." Jun replied.
"Is thirty minutes enough to go round the whale zoo?"
"Of course it is. Let's just go, okay?"

(Time skip)
We finally arrived at the zoo.
I looked at the map of the zoo, we received at the entrance. "I really want to see the penguins."
"Then we'll go see the penguins." Jun smiled, as he gently pulled the map from my hands.
"Oh, Jun! Look, aren't these cute." I noticed two adorable pandas.
"Wow, I haven't seen you so happy sins your audition, four years ago." Jun laughed a little.
"I'm sorry!" I responded as fast as I could.
"Honestly Yuri, You're just too funny!" Jun burst out laughing.
"Wh-what?" I was getting confused.
"You're just like a little kid, at times. It's really adorable."
"I'm sorry."
"Yuri, what are you apologising for. It's really fun to watch, besides you're just being yourself, and that's what I really love the most about you. Anyways, let's go to see the penguins." Jun smiled.
"Okay, let's go."
"Jun, walk a little slower, I really want to see all of the animals here." I pulled Jun's hand, making him stop.
Jun entry took my hand, as he began walking down the zoo.
After couple of minutes, we got to the penguins.
"They are so cute." I looked amazed at the penguins.
"They are just about to close the zoo, we better hurry, we can come here next week, if you want to." Jun said, as he wrapped his hand around my shoulders and began walking.
"Let's take the taxi back." I quickly said, as I realised that we are going to the train station.
"Don't worry, Yuri. I'll be by your side, what are you afraid off? Even if the train crashes, we'll just be able to spend more time together." Jun hugged me tightly, before continuing on walking.

(Time skip)
We finally arrived near my dormitory.
"Thank you, Jun. I really enjoyed myself today, let's go out again next week too.
"Okay." Jun bent down slightly and kissed me.
"Goodnight Yuri." Jun said as he slowly pulled away.
"Goodnight!" I ran inside the dormitory.
