Still With My Memories

2: Connection

Jimin POV

Cherry blossoms.
Birds chirping.
Kids playing.
Giggles.
Laughter.
...
Spring season is beautiful but it is also sad. Like my memories of you, so beautiful but too painful to remember. They said memories became memories once that beautiful moment ended.

Then ... Am I too selfish to wish to stay in that beautiful moment even I have to sacrifice these precious memories ?

Would it be happier to be like that?

I opened my eyes and see the clear sky.

It's vast.
Peaceful.
What is it be like to be in there?

I closed my eyes again to clear my head but when I opened my eyes I saw a man staring at me with his camera from afar.

-ANONYMOUS POV-
"Shit!", I almost dropped my phone when he suddenly look at me. I immediately bowed and gestured sorry for my intrusion on his private moment. "Ah! this is embarrassing", I mumbled and continue bowing. The man seemed confused but in the end he bowed to me as well and mouthed "It's okay" and smiled.

Wait...that smile,

why do I feel like I've seen it before?

-Flashback-

(Phone ringing)

"Hello?"

"Yah Jungkook ah, where are you?!"

I checked my phone screen to see the name of the caller but it's not registered on my contacts.

"Hm, who's this?" I answered in confusion.

"Woah, you're really doing this? It's me Taehyung!" My eyes widened upon realization that it's my brother. I looked at the screen again as if I can see him over the phone.

"Oh?! Hyung? Oh?! I saw you on TV!" I rapped in excitement. "You really did it!" I was almost shouting but I didn't mind. I could even feel the glare of people walking passed by me.

"Oh really?~~~😏" I heard him chuckled and I could just imagine that proud smirk on his face.

"Yah! Why aren't you visiting me and mom?" I knew I sounded like a kid whining but I did it purposely anyway. This hyung deserved a beating. "She even cried when we saw you on TV, we haven't heard anything from you for almost a year ever since..."

"Jungkook ah..." He cut me off. "How's mom?" He muttered obviously changing the topic and I almost rolled my eyes.

"I mean...she's okay but can't you just go home or visit us like a normal family? She's been so worried about you."

"Hey, just stop whining. I'm on my way home."

"Really?! Oookay! I'm heading home now. See you there, hyung! Oh! Don't forget to buy me banana milk!" I said before ending  the call.

On my way home, I always took photos of everything I saw that caught my attention.

For me, photos were like preserved memories where I can go back anytime I wanted. It's also a reminder of the things we used to forget.
