I really don't understand how I managed to fall asleep, but that is exactly what I did. But then again, when was the last time something worried me so much that I couldn't get myself to go to sleep? NEVER! That's when.

I look outside the window and the view promises me a lovely, sunny day. Too bad! I don't feel cheerful at all.

I don't really feel like having breakfast so I just shower, get changed and sit in front of my desktop computer.

If it wasn't obvious enough, I'll tell you - The real reason I'm not going downstairs – It's because I'm scared I'd run into my dad and I'm NOT prepared to face him yet.

I start by listening to GOT7 songs and my mood lifts considerably by watching these amazingly talented human beings and by listening to them rap and sing. But about an hour in, I hear my stomach rumble and decide that I'm not being distracted enough.

'It has only been one hour Katy and it's just one meal! You can't possibly die by skipping it!!' I tell myself.

I go on YouTube and search for 'Cute Jackson clips'. As I click on Enter and the videos come up on the monitor I hear a knock on my door. But before I can react, the door clicks open and I instantly know who it is.

The smell of bacon and toasted bread hit my nose and I realize how grateful I am to have Mrs. Choi in my life. She's also brought chicken soup.

"Good morning Miss Katy!" She sounds cheerier than she usually does, which means she has heard what happened last night.

"Good morning Mrs. Choi. Do you know how much I love you?"

"Yes Miss, I do but... What do I tell you? No man, or woman, is too busy to..."

"Not have their breakfast"

"Not have their breakfast"

I finish along with her.

And then the thought hits me. If I am going to be married in two months does that mean that I will have to leave home? Leave mom and dad? Leave Mrs. Choi?

My head starts to ache and I realize that this train of thoughts will lead me nowhere. So I just give Mrs. Choi my warmest smile and say, "Thank you Mrs. Choi." She smiles and leaves my room.

Mrs. Choi was very generous with the quantity of food she brought and I ate to the point that I was sure I'd explode if I ate some more.

I wasn't in the mood anymore so I turned off the computer and just to give myself something to do I went in search of old photo albums. I looked everywhere and I finally found it in a drawer in my wardrobe just as I was about to give up.

There were many from the time we lived in Canada and it was wonderful to rewind and go back to the time when I was young and carefree. Nostalgia hit me like whammmm!

I had gone through almost all the albums when I spotted a white heart-shaped album at the bottom. I had never seen it before and it piqued my curiosity. I took it out and a heart-shaped paper, this time pink, fell from it. I picked it up and it read,

"Happy 21st birthday Katy.

I had fun putting this album together.

Hope you like it too.

Love Aunt Jeon."

I opened the album and two-year-old me smiled back at the present me with twinkly eyes and an incomplete set of teeth.

A note that said, "When you were 2", was stuck to it.I flipped the page and there were two two-years-olds this time

"Jungkook and you"

The next was of two kids, aged five probably, holding hands and walking down a path, laughing and looking like they were having the time of their lives

"With Linked Hands And The Brightest Smiles"

There is something that you must know at this point and that is, although I moved to Korea only when I was 13 we used to visit Korea a minimum of two times a year until then. We used to stay with the Jeon family. My father and Uncle Jeon went to school together. My mother says I was so close with Jungkook that I frequently missed him and our trips to Korea were more frequent and longer because of this.

The next picture was of me sitting on a swing with a bruised knee, looking like I was about to cry and Jungkook kneeling beside me trying to blow on the wound.

"Blowing all your pains away"

The next picture was at the same place, but I looked like I was laughing heartily and Jungkook looked like he was dancing a very funny dance.

"The cause of the pain and the cure!

P.S. He was the one who pushed you down"

There were many more pictures of the both of us when we were kids. There was also one where we were twinning and we were wearing baby pink onesies. He looked like a fluffy bunny in it.

The last picture was taken on the day of our high school graduation and although we aren't smiling as radiantly as when we were kids, we still looked happy "Eighteen years and counting"

Seeing this picture reminds me of an incident that happened three days or so before BTS' hyung line's graduation day. (Seokjin oppa, Yoongi oppa, Hoseok oppa and Namjoon oppa)

My friend and my ray of hope, Lee Songbi was in detention because of her current boyfriend, then arch enemy Park Jimin and I had to walk home all by myself.

A few boys from a different school were walking in the opposite direction and very loudly ridiculing the way I looked and walked. I walked with my heads down and I thought I had crossed them when the last guy's drink hit my shoulder and spilt all over the front of my white uniform. I had no idea how I was going to face the jerk or even cover my now-transparent shirt when a warm hand came over my shoulder. I heard one of the sly, vile-looking boys say, "It's Jungkook!" and they ran away.

I looked up to see Jungkook STILL glaring in the direction of the boys, his glare was so frightening a shiver went down my spine.

He must have felt it, because he looked down at me and I pulled myself together and whispered, "Thank you."

He took his coat off, removed my bag, slung it over his shoulders and helped me put his coat on. He buttoned it at the center for me.

Before I could thank him again he said,

"Don't thank me. And next time don't put your head down , you have nothing to be ashamed of. Give them a glare and if it doesn't work just tell me, I'll take care of those punks"

I was thinking of how to respond when Seokjin oppa called him. He gave me one last smile, returned my bag and ran to his hyung.

That was the first and the last time I actually interacted with him in years.

We were inseparable when we were kids but when I moved back to Korea when I was 13, (it had been 3 years since I had last seen him) he pretended like he was someone who wasn't aware of my existence or presence.

We only greet each other very formally when we see each other these days.

I never really understood why we went from such good friends to strangers.

But that's just Jungkook

Unpredictable

Gorgeous

Mysterious

and sexy af.

A/n: Hellooo. I would love to interact with you guys.

Tell me something about yourself.

I'm Erin and I'm 19. I'm probably too old to be doing this lol.

Also, Kaitlynn is only half Korean. Her mum's ethnicity is never mentioned. Which means.. she is half- (wherever-your'e-from). She can look like anyone you want her to look like, preferably you. *wink wink*

We're also going to pretend December is two months from now.
