✔ GONE BY [I'm In love]

Chapter 22| Long Lost Bond

[YOONGI]

The sun had settled as I saw the afternoon warm light cooled down. I leaned away against the trunk of the tree and walked by the bench at the park.

I will meet him finally, again.

My heart is throbbing fast as usual, not having any plan for the first time of meeting someone I lost communication with.

I could be relieved as I can, because I know for myself that the boys aren't anywhere to be found because they knew where to place themselves in this kind of situation.

With the help of Jiminie and Taehyungie again, we used the pizza delivery man to hand the blood pack with a piece of paper having a message: 가을 공원 #19

And therefore, he should really come and meet me. Without having his presence for three days was quite enough for me, but I didn't know how long he'd need time for it. Whatever might turn out after this, we should make an action.

Farther in front of me were the clean oval grassland, benches surrounding it, children playing, a single hot dog stand, and a pair of couple.

The wind blows coolly, and the autumn leaves fall off the trees. I nestled on my seat placing my fists into my jacket's pockets.

"Brother."

My eyes goggled, surprised of a voice right behind me. At once, my heart suddenly paused beating. My brother was already behind me, and I never planned of my first move.

His voice was filling my mind.

"Sit with me."

I ended up encouraging him to settle beside me, that wasn't any bad at all, right?

As he parked himself beside me, his hands were also in the pockets of his jacket. It was just a coincidence that we both wear jackets right? Mine was green, his was black.

"It's nice to see you again," he said.

My heart beats louder, not knowing what to react. I can see him smiling by the corner of my eye, but my brother is not looking at my way.

"Same." I replied. "How were you doing?"

He sighed.
"I was doing good." He answered. "How about you? I don't know where you have been staying."

Apparently, he doesn't know anything about my friends yet. And still, I can't assure myself to decide for him. Hoseok was attacked by our slayer before, so there's a possibility he could be in danger even Taehyung already killed that gunman (or did he?). But I can neither let him stay away from me since a gunman tried to target him the day we met. It was near where he and the woman live, thus, I can't rely on anything.

"You don't have to know," I looked at him. His face was blank, and I can't read anything in his eyes. "As long as I'm fine."

I was about to avert my gaze from him when he suddenly putted out something from his pocket.

It was the piece of paper that I gave with the blood pack.

"Thank you for guiding me," he said. "You're always a brother to me."

That triggered my heart, and I remembered everything when we fought. He was releasing off his fury on me, his pain, his sufferings and his succumbs all those times. He hated me, but what am I hearing right now?

"I realized, I wasn't the only one who feels sorrow all throughout the time." He continued but I can see his eyebrows furrowing. "I was just driven by my emotions, because I'm still not a grownup for conflicts."
