I didn't know I needed something, until I lost it. Or so I always thought to myself. My life was so perfect. I had a boyfriend, I had supporting brothers, I had a nice condo...yet I could never find happiness in those things. Not until what happened of course...

Hi, I'm Park Inna. Welcome to my life.

📷 💖 📷 💖

I scrolled through the endless pictures on my computer. Each one was something different. A picture of a rock sitting by a river. A picture of a dog showing a pleased face as his owner pets him...a picture of Jungkook and I sharing a smoothie. I've been almost everywhere in Korea, and I've never taken up an opportunity to take a picture.

Each picture holds a certain memory. Something important to me.

As I'm trying to edit a picture of Jungkook and I -trying to fix the brightness a bit- I notice that something is off. Maybe I should add some heart pngs around us... I open my files folder and scroll through all my files. Many files later, I finally found the file I'm looking for. As I'm about to click on it, my eyes wandered down to a file on the bottom. Ir reads 'Remember to Delete Later' last edited around 2 years ago.

I knew what this file contained. Pictures that I wish I had deleted but never grew the guts to do it. Pictures I wished I had never taken. I had almost forgotten I had those pictures. It feels weird to see that file.

My mouse wanders towards the file and I double click to open it. I click on the first picture and immediately close the computer as I come across his face. His perfect smile...his perfect face...his perfect personality.

How did I manage to lose someone like that?

I hesitantly open my laptop again and type in my password. I begin to scroll over the pictures. There were pictures of him on a swing, pictures of the two of us sharing an ice cream.

It was the perfect secret relationship...nobody knew about us. People at school thought that we were going out but we made sure to tell them that we were just best friends. But of course...they would always say that the term best friends is not used between boys and girls.

But then...he cheated on me. With my best friend. I remembered that day so clearly. But that's a story for another time.

The only one that knew about our relationship was Chanyeol. Chanyeol had caught us kissing once while we were at a restaurant. I begged him to keep the secret from Jimin since I knew that Jimin would open his big mouth and tell everyone about our relationship. He promised to keep it a secret, and to this day I'm grateful.

One thing to note about my older brother is that he loves to set me up on dates with his friends. Most of the time he'll set me up with Oh Sehun. I didn't mind it the first time, but the fact that Chanyeol kept setting me up over and over and over again got to the point of annoyance. Eventually, as I started going out with Jungkook, he stopped.

I go back to editing my picture when a sudden ping! Can be heard from the living room. I rolled my eyes as I continued editing, thinking that it might be Chanyeol's friends or something.

"Ah! Jungkook!" I heard Jimin's voice. I got up from my bed and closed my laptop. I opened my white door and walked down the marble floors towards Jungkook. He had his work attire on. Whenever he went to work he always looked so formal. White buttoned shirt, and black pants. A black tie which made him look sexy sometimes.

"Hey Inna." Jungkook hugged me. I hugged him back and breathed into his cologne. He always smelled great, but today he smelled oddly different. A weird scent...sorta feminine to me.

But then again...Jungkook always tried all sorts of perfumes. Maybe he decided to change up his scent a little bit.

"Bro, that's some weird cologne you have on." Jimin pointed out. Oh, so I wasn't the only one that noticed.

I pulled away from Jungkook and watched as he froze for a moment before laughing it off. He showed off his bunny teeth as he rubbed the back of his neck, "Ha sorry. My mother has some weird obsessions with perfumes. Sometimes she'll sneak a spray on me without me even noticing." he continued to laugh.

"Wouldn't you have noticed? I mean the smell would've been on you." I commented as I checked my nails. His laughing still continued.

"When you live with my mother, the house always smells of different perfumes." he made his way to the couch and turned on the TV. I sighed as I looked over towards the kitchen, only to catch Chanyeol eating some ramen.

He smiled at me before going back to eating his ramen.

"Jungkook would you like to eat anything?" I asked as I walked over to the couch. I leaned on the top of the couch while his head was leaned back. He smiled warmly at me and nodded.

"Anything would be great right now." he laughed as he kissed my hand. I returned the smile and wandered off into the kitchen.

I quickly made him some ramen and set it on the table for him. I put some chopsticks on the side and called him to eat. He stayed on the couch for 5 minutes before coming towards the dinner table and sipping on the warm noodles.

I sat right across from him and played with the hem of his sleeve.

"How was work?" I asked as I stared at my fingers playing around. He cleared his throat before answering.

"Good." that was all he said.

With Jungkook, asking about work was personal to him. I didn't understand why. It was just me asking him about work, but he always answered it in one sentence or with just one word. He was never specific unless something really good happened.

Once he finished eating, he cleaned his mouth with a napkin and smiled at me. He looked at his wristwatch and sighed.

"I gotta go. They called me in for the afternoon shift and I need to be there in 10 minutes." he walked over towards the door and I followed after him. Before he left, he quickly turned around and kissed my cheek. He caressed it for a moment before leaving, closing the door shut behind him.

"Be safe." I mumbled as I stared at the floor. I felt like over the years, he and I have become a bit distant. We don't go out on dates like how we used to. We don't talk as much as how we used to. He just comes to my condo, eats, sometimes sleeps, and leaves. We never really talk much.

I wandered off into my room and closed the door. Some day today has been. Reminiscing about the past...

I stared at my phone and went on to YouTube and put on a song. As the song was about to reach its drop, an incoming call appeared.

I glanced at my phone. At first I thought it was Jungkook but it reads 'Random Caller' on the screen. I slid the green icon and before I could even say anything, the other person beats me to it.

"Park, your boyfriend is cheating on you."

Welcome back to a new story! I was originally going to release this after Into a New World was done but then I thought...why not?

Not my usual type of story. Most of my stories consist of dialogue but this time, I wanted to try something new with my writing. Add a bit more descriptions. 😉

Thanks for tuning in. I don't know how regularly I'll be updating this. Maybe it might be random updates. 😁
