-go back to the previous days where eunbi and Mingyu went to their grandmother's house-

"Halmeoni!" Both siblings screamed.

Their grandmother peeked outside and was overjoyed to see her grandchildren.

"Eunbi, mingyu.. what are you both doing here?- without your parents?" She asked.

"As per usual they went on a business trip but we both didn't want to go so we went to your house. Only when we go to your house, they can't reject." Eunbi said and hugged her.

"Then. You can stay here for as long as you like" she smiled.

"Jinjja? Wah gomawo halmeoni!" Mingyu hugged her as well.

The three then went in the house. Warm and coziness can be felt. The smell of vanilla-scented candles diffused around the house.

Eunbi dropped her body on her the fluffy sofa and let out a sigh.

"Its been long since im here" she muttered and look around the house.

"Have you both eaten breakfast?" Their grandmother inquired.

"aniyo halmeoni" mingyu pouted and rubbed his tummy to pretend that he is starving- which he really was starving.

Their grandmother smiled and head to the kitchen to cook. She finally had some company. She lived here alone ever since her husband passed on. Her family and relatives rarely visit her. When visit, only eunbi and mingyu will actually make conversations with her unlike their other relatives.

"Go upstairs and unpack your stuffs" mingyu told his sister.

Eunbi did as he said and went upstairs. Her room that halmeoni kept was still the same. It was clean and neat.

She opened the windows of the room to let air come in

She opened the windows of the room to let air come in. Then she was reminded of jungkook. She sat on her bed and sighed.

"i want to meet you jungkook" she mumbled and played with her fingers.

-now the present event-

After knowing that eunbi left. WITHOUT telling me that she was leaving. I officially gave up. What kind of friend does this.

"jungkook-ah, eunbi is in-" eunha approached me but i cut her off.

"I know. Now go away. Leave me alone." I told her and just put my head on the table.

"Oh...okay then.." she mumbled and went away.

I missed her. I missed her jokes, her charismatic personality. Non of the girls here are like her. Im now alone. Well there is still daniel and sehun.

*2 months*

Its been 2 months now and eunbi is still not back. Not gonna lie, i missed her even though im upset that she left without informing me. I am now dating eunha. We both spent quite a lot of time together and we like the same things. We both developed feelings for each other and here we are now.

Now its art lesson.

"class, remember 2 months ago we did the graded assignment? I forgot to return you guys' artwork. One by one please come and collect your piece when i call out your name." Ssaem instructed.

We did as she said and it was finally mine. I took my piece from her and realised that there were two drawing papers. One was eunbi's. I saw her name but i didnt see what she drew.

"Ssaem! This is eunbi's" i gave back to her.

"Ne, it was meant to be for you" she smiled warmly to me.

I awkwardly smiled back and took both drawing papers back to my seat. I looked at what she drew...

Me? She drew me? I saw her topic that she chose 'friendship'. I guess i was just her friend. But i saw what she wrote beside the drawing, 'i love you'.

"Ss-ssaem.." i trembled. Tears were forming in my eye.

"She didnt know how to tell you that she was leaving. She didnt want to break you heart. So she left quietly. But her parents informed the school that she didn't leave korea though. She is staying with her halmeoni. But im not sure where" ssaem explained with soft voice.

"S-sorry." i got up and left the room with my bag and both my drawing papers. I head to the cooking block, where eunha is.

"eunha." I called her at the door.

Students and the teacher inside looked at me.

"ssaem. Can i see eunha" i asked.

"Jung Eunbi." He called her and nodded his head towards me. That's hilariously easy.

"Whats so important that you skipped your art lesson just to call me" she giggled and pinched my cheek.

"remember 2 months ago? You told me something about eunbi but i cut you off. What did you want to tell me?" I asked.

"Jungkook-ah..why the sudden question? I thought you knew?" She asked.

"i thought you were going to say that eunbi is at malaysia with her family?" I replied.

"aniya kookie. She didnt leave korea at all. She is with mingyu at busan with their halmeoni. Didnt you see mingyu's instagram account or eunbi's instagram account? But eunbi didnt post anything for 3 months already. I wonder what happen to her" eunha told me.

"arasseo gomawo eunha!" I ran off after kissing her forehead.

I left to the train station and went to busan. I recognised this city since it was my birthplace.

I re-looked into mingyu's recent photos in busan. Near the sea. The seafood restaurant by the beach.

"Hwang Halmeoni's Restaurant!" I said it out loud.

***

"Annyeonghaseyo halmeoni!" I greeted loudly as i knocked onto her house door.

"Ne who is it- jeongguk?" She opened the door.

I smiled widely and hugged her.

"is eunbi here?" I asked.

"How do you-"

"Halmeoni, i bought for you the fresh prawns from the market!" I heard a familiar voice.

I turned around and faced her.

"oh who is this halmeoni?" Eunbi asked.

my heart dropped.
