CHAPTER-5

-1month before-

Junkook's POV

After several months... I dared to come back to my home town, to fresh up my mind from all the chaos that was pricking on me from the inside. Oflate, things have been difficult for me; too difficult that I felt like at the verge of breaking down.

I felt all alone. Actually I wanted to be alone. May be if I spend some time with silence, my brain could stop from boiling up and settle down for a while.

My phone vibrated from inside my pocket for the millionth time today, and I didn't need to pick it up to see who it was. Jimin has always been stubborn when it's about me. The moment I left the place without a word, he has already turned restless. But I needed space. I needed time. With him, that was not possible. I don't want to burden him anymore. So I intentionally didn't answer any of his calls. He might be probably  worried like hell, but I cared less, especially at this point of time when my mind was in the midst of destruction. But still, I owe him a response as he is probably the only person existing now on Earth who cares about me. So I decided to text him that I will be back by tomorrow by not revealing my location.

-JIMINSSI
You sure? Just tell me where you are.

                                       - ME
                                         I'll be fine.

-JIMINSSI
Junkook, don't be a stubborn ass. Just tell me your damn location for God's sake!

                                       -ME
                                       Jimin, please..
                                       Understand.

-JIMINSSI
ahhh...!Okay  Just don't do anything stupid & come back in one piece 2mrw!
Got it?

I sighed as I dropped the cell phone back into my pocket.

I needed some time to put the scattered peices of mind back in its place orelse I would too turn crazy, that was the only thing left now to happen.

Not bothering to wear my helmet, I started my motorbike, riding to my destination. As soon as I reached, I parked my vehicle before stepping out into the green. My eyes softened in contrast to my heart which was pounding rapidly inside its cage as my head got flooded with tides of memories. This was the park where I used to spent my time as a child with my dad years ago, our favourite play station.

I took slow strides till I found myself a spot where no one could easily see me or break the solitude that I was craving for.

As I sat down, I listened to the melodious chirping of birds blending beautifully with the gentle breeze wandering around, that made sure to tickle the dangling leaves of the trees, cheering them to dance along with the symphony. The playful laughters of few kids echoed in the garden as they chaced the imaginary dragons and countless pirates. I also noticed a very few couples who were deeply immersed in their own world of dreams and promises, budding romance. I scoffed at the hopeless sight before shutting my eyes from the cringey scene that was spoiling the whole view.

I took a deep breath, calming my nerves down for a while. Even though the enormous beauty of the nature stood right infront of me, my mind was still spacing out to some where else, where all it could ever find was chaos.

6.55pm. Slowly the park was getting empty as it was not a popular one. Only the natives of this place visited here.

'I should go too'
