DESTINY

A Walk to Remember

 "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,

Just like the ones I used to know,

Where the tree tops glisten

And children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow."

 ~ Irving Berlin

We were walking down the pine woods. The atmosphere was beautiful. We were walking between the pines. The feeling was as good as always, but there was something special. The air felt different. The night sky was clear with millions of stars shining and lighting the way for us through the fog filled woods. We were walking silently.

"The cookies were tasty, you are good at cooking", Kookie said to me.

"Thank you. I love cooking especially when it is for the people I love"

"Hmm...so, who are the people that you love?"

"I love Nieva, Sophiah, my family.... and who else?" I asked myself.

"Don't you love me?" Jungkook asked me causing me to look at him and then in a hurry said... "I mean BTS. Don't you love BTS?" However, that made me blush. How cute he is.

"Yes, I do. I love BTS and you too" I said playfully.

"Thank you", I thought does he also blushes when I compliment him? But that was a stupid question. Why would he blush? I am no one special to him.

"What are your interests?"

"Umm...I like reading books, listening to music, cooking, having fun with my friends and having these kind of walks" I said thinking what more do I like... "What do you like to do?" I asked him.

"I like listening to music, dancing, playing games, exercising and spending time with my hyungs. And also, these long walks"

I smiled at him and he returned the smile back.

We walked in silence another few steps.

"Are we friends?" I asked him, because I really wanted to know.

"Of course, we are friends, in fact you can say best friends". He said matter-of-fact'ly.

"So, can I call you 'Kookie'?"

"You can". He said smiling down at me. Was he thinking I am stupid? That's not fully wrong though.

"Kookie, there's a beautiful lake here. Would you like to go with me?" I asked hesitatingly.

"Why not?" Kookie smiled at me.

We went to my secret place. No one comes here. It's a place for me and my friends only. No one else is allowed here. But I wanted to bring Kookie here. I am sure he will love the place. It really is magnificent specially, at night.

"This is the place", I said showing him my secret escape.

"It's beautiful" he said putting too much meaning in the word 'Beautiful'. He was amazed at the scenery in front of him.

The beautiful lake lay in front of us covered with pines around it in a distance. A few flowers were there to welcome us at this unusual time. The stars we twinkling far away in the sky. They looked more beautiful and more glowing than ever. A light winter breeze was blowing bringing the mesmerizing fragrance of the pine trees with them. The land beneath us was covered with grass with pearl like dew drops on top of it as a decor.
