“First meeting you, I felt my innocent heart beats rapidly.”

"Jungkook Oppa!!! Me too!"  A little girl  tried to stop the swing that's moving back and forth but she's too little to stop the swing.

"Hey! Somi-ah, stop that you're going to hit yourself!" Jeon Jungkook, an 8 years old boy, who's enjoying his seat on the swing scolded his sister, Jeon Somi, an 6 years old girl. Somi just shook her head abruptly. Tears started to form in her eyes. His lips forming downwards.

"Jinjjayo o-oppa! Your r-riding it an hour a-already! I haven't tried it y-yet! B-bad! Huhuhu!" Somi started to rubbed his wet eyes with her arms. A loud sobbed surrounded Jungkook's ear causing him to panic. He quickly glanced around only to find some kids roaming around the park's playground. He saw their mother chatting with other mother probably not noticing her daughter crying because of her selfish brother.

The 8 years old boy got off from the swing and sprint towards her sister.

"Hey! Stop crying, Somi-ah! Let's just ride togethe---" Jungkook was stopped by a hit coming from her sister. She cried louder as she hit her older brother non-stop.

"Aniyo! I'll tell you to eomma! Ahhh huhuhuh!" She cried out. Jungkook hearing the word 'Eomma' freak out. He's really afraid of her mother. Everytime he'll make a heavy mistake, her mother will get a hanger and hit it on his butt in hour. But of course it's not like his mother is abusive. Her mother just use that as a lecture.

He started to shushed Somi but it's not necessary, she started crying more louder.

"Yah! Stop crying will you!? You're such a crybaby!" Jungkook who's being annoyed spit it suddenly. Somi was startled by a second but cried even louder, causing some kids to look at their direction.

"O-oppa! Y-your bad!!" Somi started to hide her face in her little hands. Jungkook was about to say sorry and hug his little sister but a hand suddenly caressed Somi's back.

"Somi-ahh! What's the matter?" A soft yet soothing voice was heard from the mysterious girl. Jungkook who's taken aback was knitting his eyebrows in confusion. He can't see the girl's face because of its bangs that's covering his face.

Somi raised her head and was surprised to see the girl. "Unnie!" Somi jumped and hugged the girl happily, forgetting her crying state a while ago.

Jungkook just stand there, confused at his sister's closeness to that girl, still confused at her face.

"Why are you crying?" The girl kneeled to take the same level as Somi's height. Somi wipe her wet cheeks and turned around to Jungkook's direction. She pointed at him, "That boy! He ride the swing by himself!"

Jungkook knitted his eyebrows more suddenly. Who wouldn't? His sister called him 'That boy' instead of 'My brother's or something like that. He wants to correct her but his eyes landed on the girl who's looking at him now.

Beat.

Beat of his heart? It's sounds cheesy and corny but it's true. The moment their eyes met, his heart melt and beats against his chest. His surroundings seems on a slow motion.

Before he could drift in the Dreamland he was taken aback when the girl spoke.

"Hey! Why riding the swing by yourself!? Do you own the playground huh!? Don't you kn----blah blah blah!" The moment she walks closer to say those, he heard only a muffled voice as he was completely drifted apart by her beauty.

A natural straight black hair reaching her shoulder and a thin bangs covering her forehead. Her hazelnut orbs looking down on him in awe. Her heart-shaped lips moving upward and downward. Her pointed nose perfectly built. Damn! Those details just came in a little boy's mind.

"—Next time, let the other kids ride. You understand?" Finally, she finished her oscar speech. Her lips twisted in the corner in annoyance.

"Are you listening?" Jungkook came back to his senses quickly. Finding an empty words, he found himself only nodding. He was speechless.

"Somi-ahh! I'll treat you an ice cream."

"Yay! Thank you, Jisoo-unnie!"

Dear Noona,

So while I'm writing this, I'm probably 13 and has matured a lot. But that day that I cherished a lot will never leave my heart. The time I first saw you. So I decided to write a diary about you. Since your older, I'll call you 'Noona' here. I know that this modern century is not same as the old one, like writing to express feelings, this time, they already used technology. But no, I wanted to make memories of you with this book.

This is for you, Kim Jisoo-Noona.

I was 8 and your 10. That's the moment I first saw you, Noona. The time my heart first beat weirdly. Forming an imaginary slow motion in you. Seeing your beauty just make me speechless.

You're the very first one who make me look stupid like that. In my school, girls are giving letters and something that have a confession, but none of them caught my attention like this.

But you, you make me look like a fool for the first time.

I just thought, if ever my sister didn't cry, you'll never come and comfort her and lecture me a long speech. It's just really good that I make Somi cry.

Because if not,

I wouldn't meet you, Jisoo-noona...
