The heart never forgets. It's just that... sometimes there has to be sad endings for the spark of better beginnings.

Contrary to popular belief, that the leader of this trip was Jeon Jungkook, aka myself, reality plays out much more different. Jimin hyung is a road master, meaning, after snitching all the routes and offices we were supposed to visit on our way, he took on the responsibility of a perfect planner with his huge paper map, pen stuffed behind his ear and tourist hat to add flavor to it all.
He is absolutely in his element, and I'm loving it. We haven't necessarily given breaks until we arrived at Changwon, our first destination of delivery. It's really close to Busan, around one hour drive, and we decided to make the delivery our first goal as soon as possible. All I know about Changwon is that it's famous for its cherry blossom trees that stay colorful year-round, even if not in the April spring season. Jimin hyung and I agreed together that we absolutely have to visit that place before leaving here, but for now we are busy driving (trying to, at most) on a hill, where the office is indicated to be located.

- It's not gonna work. -Jimin hyung says exasperatedly, half of his body out of the car, watching the hill to give me orders on driving. -Jungkookie, let's leave the car and walk up there.
I bite on my lips, anxiously pressing on the gas pedal a little hesitantly because I want to make it work, but it looks like the rocky roads won't be of much help.
- How the hell do they go in that office? It's so steep! -I complain.
Jimin hyung stays quiet for a while, and then taps on the outside of the car's door for me to stop.
- Ain't gonna work Jungkookie. -He says as he sits back, removing his hat in frustration and throwing it at the backseat. -Just drive back. Let's leave the car at the road and climb up. -He passes a look to the back. -Is the painting heavy?
- Nah, you're right. We should just walk there.
That's what we do. The car waits for us at the beginning of the hill as we carry the painting from both ends while climbing upwards. It's hilarious that an office would be at a hill so high! It almost feels like a bad mailing address prank, but whatever, we just follow the orders, isn't it?
A lonely house sitting atop the hill is what we encounter. Though, the more that we approach it, the more obvious it is that the other side of the house was on street level.
- Seriously, Google Maps?!
The douche guided us to the back side of the building.
- I told you to trust the paper map! Wah... -Jimin hyung pouts as we rest in the back door of the building, putting the painting down to a corner to catch our breaths. There are a few staff passing from the back side, putting together what looks like a newly-arrived camera pack.
- You good? -I massage his shoulder, forgetting about my own tiredness long ago when I saw his sweaty forehead.
- I'm okay, Kookie, thanks. -Jimin hyung smiles upon my gesture, signing the interior of the office with his eyes a little abashedly. -Let's deliver this as soon as possible and go see the cherry blossoms?
