The House

Forever Young

She stripped away myself- worth, layer by layer until there was nothing left of my personality. Yet, I can never forget about the boy I used to be. He lived inside, my caged soul, waiting for the day I would set him free. You have no idea what it means to fight daily battles in your head with the person you are no longer in contact with.

Jimin's P.O.V

Sung-Jae and I was playing a game on the play station 2 in his room. The game we were playing was Kingdom Hearts. At the moment, Sung-Jae was running through the gate into Guillotine square. I yelled out, "Watch out! A Heartless just popped up." I was hitting him on the arm. "Be careful Keunko! You only have 30% of your health bar left." He lost twenty percent very quickly but he held on with his last percentage by blocking the heartless attack with the key. That 10% percent didn't last long though. That soon disappeared too and we were getting close to the ending too...

I patted his shoulder because he was upset that he lost. "It's okay Keunko. We can try again later. How about a break and let's go get a snack?" He quickly got over the lost and his emotion changed to delight. We started to race each other to the kitchen. Sung-Jae's mom was preparing strawberries and tangerines. "Hey boys" She called out while she was peeling the tangerine. "Stop running before someone gets hurt. Take a seat in the living room so you can watch t.v while you eat."

"Come on! Dragon Ball is about to start." Sung-Jae grabbed my hand and started to pull me towards the living room. "We missed it last week because you wanted ice cream SO bad that we missed almost the whole episode. Today, I will NOT miss it." We sat down and watched it for about ten minutes. In the episode, Goku and Bulma had just met Yamcha in the desert. Bulma was stricken with love the moment she saw him. We were so into the show that we didn't hear Sung-Jae's mom open the door. "Nuguseyo?"

By the time we turned our heads to see who it was, we saw a pretty lady with curly bouncy hair. She looked like an actress out of one of those dramas Sung-Jae's mom watches. I stared at her for a little bit but Dragon Ball was more important. I wasn't really paying attention but I heard her call out to Sung-Jae. "Ah! Sung-Jae-ah you grown so big. Oh, you're so adorable. Come here and give me a hug." Sung-Jae replied, "Yes imo. I'm coming." She kisses him and hugs him like he was a big brown teddy bear.

When they were finished with greetings, she finally noticed me. "Oh? Who is that adorable little pumpkin over there?" She came over and sat next to me. "May I ask what is your name?" I stood up and gave her a bow. "Hello. My name is Park Jimin." I thought I saw something spark in her eyes but I didn't pay much attention to it. A smile was playing on her peach color lips. "Oh, he's so sweet and well mannered. You're our Sung-Jae's friend. He talks about you all the time. It's so nice to finally meet you." I answered her by saying, "Yes." I glanced over at Sung-Jae who was talking to his mom.

While my attention was diverted, she reached out and grabbed my cheeks. She started to pinch both of my cheeks a little too hard. "Omo. Aren't you just the cutest little thing ever!" I didn't smile as I said thank you while my cheeks were being stretched. Letting go, she eyed my cheeks. "I'm sorry. I made your cheeks a little red. Does it hurt?" She put three fingers on my face and started to roll them around my cheeks. I'm guessing she was massaging them but I didn't like her touch. It felt very uncomfortable.

She seemed too nice. Oh well. She didn't stay with me for long because she went to go speak with Sung-Jae's mom and he came back to me asking if I wanted to continue playing kingdom hearts. We played the game for the rest of the time I was there. It soon became dark and his mom came up stairs to tell us it's time to take our baths and head on to bed. We found out his aunt was staying over as well in the guest bedroom. Sung-Jae's mom and aunt rushed us to bed saying it was late. His mom kissed us on the head saying goodnight while his aunt was standing at the door. Sung-Jae's mom left but I noticed that his aunt stayed behind a little longer.
