Still With My Memories

1: Cherry Blossoms

Jimin POV

Today's date: July 13, 201x

I'm here again sitting in my studio room.

Alone.

Still, this room felt cold.

It's summer but it's cold.

My heart felt cold.

I miss that smile.

-2 years ago-

"Jimin-ah!" Ah, I missed that familiar voice. "Jimin-ah" He called again but I pretended no to hear him and just continue walking. I bit my lips hardly to suppressed the laughter about to burst. "Yah, Jimin... are you seriously ignoring me?" I could clearly hear his frustration in his voice that made me chuckled.

Oh this was fun!

Teasing him was really fun.

I faced him with the coldest expression I could make pretending not to care. "Yeah, why?"

"Woah" His eyes widened as he gasped in disbelief. "...This guy really..." He paused as if he was so lost in words. "...that hurts!" I almost lost it when he suddenly held his chest as if he's been shot hard in his heart.

Kim Taehyung.

Always so dramatic.

But cute.

"We didn't see each other for six f****g months and that's your reaction?! Yeah, why??" He said frowning. He was still grabbing his chest with a distorted face. I was really trying my best to suppressed my laughter but really...

He looks like a meme!

"Pfft... Ahahahahahah" I bursted in laughter. When I laugh I lost the strength on my knees and always ended up kneeling.  "Yah! hahahahha, ...you're really ...super cute." I mumbled laughing my head off while holding my stomach.  I hoped it won't  burst any minute.

"Hey, Jimin, you think it's funny?!" He walked closer to me with knitted brows. His nostrils flaring with anger. What is this? How come he looked cute even when angry?

"You!!! I really missed you but then you ignore me like that?!" He was pouting and his face still looked like a meme. Gosh.

I wave my hand in apology. I couldn't speak. I kinda feel bad but I really like teasing him.  "Okay! okay! I m-missed you too, alright, pft.. ahahaha" I managed to speak but whenever I looked at his face it's so funny. I still can't hold my laughter. He's just so cute.

I just stopped laughing when he suddenly engulf me in his arms. "You're jerk. I really missed you." He uttered in utmost seriousness giving me cold shivers travel through my spine. "I missed you so much." He added pressing himself more against mine making me blush.

A while ago, my eyes was teary because of laughter but now it's because of happiness.

"I missed you so much too, Taehyung-ah."

***
Yeah, it's been six months of no communication, no calls, no sms, no letter, no way to see each other. He has been busy for his piano competition and been training around the clock. Winning the competition has been his promised to his deceased father.

"Congratulations!" I said with the happiest smile I can give after breaking from his hug. "Everything's worth it!" I added with a smile. When I smile, my eyes automatically disappeared and I'm not really sure how he reacted.

All of a sudden, he grabbed my hand and pulled me running "Jimin, let's go!" He said and we just ran as fast as we could.

Although uncertain as to why we're running...

I can't help but smile.

My comfort zone is back, how could I not be happy?

***

We stopped running at Yeouido Park. Cherry blossoms is in full bloom. Everything was so beautiful that I almost forgot how to breath.

"Jimin-ah, do you know why cherry blossoms are beautiful?" Taehyung asked out of nowhere.

A petal landed on my open hands catching the pink flower drifted by the air.  It is indeed beautiful. "why?" I then looked at him but my brows furrowed seeing that familiar weird face.

I'm pretty sure he will say something out of my understanding again.

Eyes glued on him waiting for him to spit his mind-blowing, out of my consensus, alienated joke. He blinked two times with lips curved into thin lines. His eyes beaming me with are-you-ready- for-this-bombshell look wriggling his brows up and down. I then nod giving him just-spit-out look. (We normally talk by just looking at each other)

"Because they are pink." He said in a most serious manner like his spitting facts out of encyclopedia. National Geographic should be ashamed of how this guy thinks.

I just nod and massage my temples clicking my tounge against my cheeks. I think I'll suddenly have headache with him. "Ha~"

He then tap my shoulder and looked at me with a playful smile. The look that's plotting something again making me whine a little.

"W-why? What is it now?"

"Nothing! I'm just happy!" Still with a silly smile and now patting my back.

"W-hy? What's with the sudden tapping?" That silly smile, I knew his planning something. I automatically check my polo and there it is. "Hi I'm a good boy?!" Written on the tag on my back.

"Yes, you are!" He answered playfully and immediately ran away from me.

"Yah!! Taehyung, you're good as dead when I catch you!"

"Oh no, good boy don't kill!" He answered laughing so hard.

I eventually catch him and forces a piggy back ride on him. "I'm tired running." Me catching my breath. "Me too." Him catching his breath too but still laughing

ANONYMOUS POV

It's been a tough day, my boss keeps telling me to rush things up for our upcoming magazine release and it's really annoying me, I needed to take a break.

So here I am, sitting under a cherry blossom tree here in Yeouido Park. Sadly, my camera broke when I was in Busan so I am using my phone to capture these breath taking cherry blossoms.

Many people visited this park. Out of passion, I take photos of every beautiful moment I see.

The kids playing,

Birds flying around our head,

Even mother lecturing their kids,

Couple kissing and hugging...

"Ah, l want that too" I said while smiling.

I look everywhere through my camera. Everything's pink, even the air smells so nice.

As I walked around the park while taking photos, my camera captures a man sitting alone under the tree. His eyes closed while looking up the sky. Everything in him seems serene, but loneliness can be felt too.

I zoom in my camera to take a closer look at his face.

He's a man of beauty, I thought.

I almost drop my phone, when he suddenly opened his eyes and look directly at me, I mean, my camera.
