November Rain

Part 2

Part two

May the love perpetuate even after life as given all it has to offer

I probably cried myself to sleep because when I opened my eyes again, the sun was already up, its rays passing through my thin curtains and filling the room with lights I didn't want to see. I was a few minutes early, the clock showing there was still a bit of time left before my alarm. By how exhausted I was, I knew I hadn't slept a lot.

I wasn't feeling much when I woke up. It was like something sucked up all the mix of emotions I was feeling when I fell asleep. I thought having my mind filled with Jungkook still would bring back the pain of refusing his proposition but there was nothing, no tears, only an incredibly large sense of emptiness.

I had a hard time covering my dark circles and swollen eyes but I managed to look somewhat presentable when I put my day clothes and walked downstairs for the breakfast. My parents were already up, preparing the food and coffees when I walked in the kitchen. My mother immediately lighted up when she saw me and I knew she had gotten some news concerning my match just by the look she was giving me.

"Dayeon! I got a message this morning saying you'll be having your first meeting with your match scheduled today!"

Any normal girl would have jumped around the house, have her heart pound in her chest out of excitement, but I stayed completely stable, a simple smile forcing its way on my lips. "That's... That's awesome."

I saw how her smile faded with the tone of my voice and I quickly looked away, taking my breakfast and thanking her before sitting next to my dad at the counter. "What time is the meeting scheduled? And, where is it?" I asked before I started eating, giving her one quick glance before looking down at my meal again.

"Since it was decided that you two will be living in the same city as us in the future, your match will be coming here to pick you up and you will be showing him around before having lunch at the center park and spending the afternoon there!" She said, seemingly more excited than I was myself.

Cheer up, Dayeon, this is your future, you can't ruin it.

I nodded and put a smile on my face again, this one a bit more genuine than the first one. I would need a bit more convincement over the fact that Jungkook would remain my best friend, and nothing more, so I would finally accept Jimin as my match. It was what it was supposed to be and it was too late to hope for something else now.

And, from what I knew about the other so far, he seemed like I would get along with him very well. I could only loosen up and give it a try.

I engulfed the rest of my breakfast and left the kitchen back to my bedroom, saying I was going to get ready for the meeting of the day. It was now time to put Jungkook away from my mind and concentrate on nothing more than my match and him only. It was a day I would devote to him and I wanted to make sure to give the best impression possible. I didn't want to make it seem like something else was on my mind. I couldn't let him endure it.

It's only when I sat on my bed and thought about it all that the nervousness hit. And it hit hard. Were my clothes okay? Would my hair be okay? He had only seen me in my most beautiful attires, clothes, and hairstyle that he would probably never see on me again considering there would be no such event again in our lives. This day, he would see me in my most simple self and I had this extreme fear of disappointing him.

But wouldn't he be in his normal clothes with a more normal hairstyle as well? Wasn't he just as scared as I was? Probably.

I took a few deep breaths to calm myself and took my tablet. The information key was still inside so I opened the document, once again taking the time to check the boy's general information.
