Soeun's POV

It was a Saturday and I was meant to meet Taehyung, he told me he had a 'meeting' to attend to so he gave me an address.  He offered a driver to pick me up but I just wanted to have a nice peaceful train trip coupled with a bus ride.  I went on google maps and I planned out my whole trip to his house.

My day started off with me getting ready, I decided to wear a short white flared skirt and a blue blouse with white tennis shoes and to top it all of a small white handbag which Jimin got for my birthday. 

I patiently waited in the train station for the train, I was scanning through the list of stations but the one I wanted did not appear. I was in a rush so I got pushed onto the train, I tried to make a u-turn out but the doors closed. I let out a sigh and sat down on the seat, I quickly pulled out my phone and checked the train timetable and it said clearly that this train was headed to my destination. 

I just decided to relax and not be so paranoid about the situation, even if I got to the last station I know for sure there is a one-way train back to Taehyungs house. I was about an hour and a half train ride to the last station, with a big relief I made it I got off at the station. Then I took another train back to Taehyungs station, another 20 minutes ride up ahead. 

When I got off the train a rush of adrenaline hit my body as I was already late, I quickly rushed over to the bus stop and waited patiently for it. 10 minutes passed, 20 minutes passed and there was no sign of the bus. I knew it was a rich neighbourhood but I didn't know that the buses would never show up. When I was about to call it quits a bus suddenly turned the corner, my face lit up and I got onto the bus. 

"Could you drop me off at this bus stop?",  I asked the bus driver as I was new to this neighbourhood and didn't know any roads here.   

"Sure kiddo", the bus driver replied lazily. 

I was anxious and it felt like all the oxygen was slowly getting sucked out of my body, I couldn't stop tapping my feet on the ground, I looked out the window and we have entered the highway. 10 minutes passed and I started to get nervous, Google said it was going to be a 5-minute trip. I crept my way towards the front of the bus and asked the bus driver if my stop was close by. 

"SHIT sorry kid we passed it a long time ago! I completely forgot about it", the bus driver said without much emotion of sympathy in his voice. 

"I'm going to drop you off at the next stop, all you have to do is walk down this highway till you font the end of the road and that's where the bus stop is at"

I was mortified because I was going to be walking right beside a highway,  even with the footpath. I opened up Google once again and up a navigation to Taehyungs house, Google said it would be a 40-minute walk to his house. I let out a slightly aggravated sigh as I started walking, I was lost and scared, and I wanted to call Taehyung so many times but I knew he was in a meeting. 

Halfway through the walk, I started to feel dehydrated. My mind went straight to Hypnos as it could put me under its terrifying spell anytime. I pressed on trying not to think about Hypnos. I have to make it Taehyungs house...



I finally arrived in an area where there was many walls and tall trees covering the houses and protecting them, it looked like the richest neighbourhood in the whole of Korea. I was walking in circles even though pain was radiating from my legs, I came this far and I wasn't going to give up. It seemed like Taehyungs house was just above the hill. 

I held onto the white walls as I walked up the hill, stopping every now and then to take a breather. Near the top of the hill, my legs gave up and I fell to the ground, I decided to rest here until I could walk again.

I was on the ground when I saw a pair of shoes appear in front of me...

Jungkook? 

I looked up at him and I was wondering why he was here... 

"Are you okay?", Jungkook asked worried kneeling down to my level.

I was just silent, why is he being so nice to me? Why is he even talking to me? In the position, I am right now it was the easiest to make fun of me but he chose not to...  

His hands slowly made its way to my face and he wiped away a sweat bead from my cheeks, I was stunned, I didn't know what to do. I remembered that I promised myself I will distance myself from Jungkook. So I decided to slap his hand away and stand up, no matter how much the pain as unbearable I had to press on and Leave Jungkook behind in the past. 

I was so tempted to look back but I couldn't... The past is the past. 

Jungkooks POV

No matter how hard she pushes me away I'm always going back to her, I waited to damn long to lose her now...
