•CHAPTER XVII•

Start from the beginning
                                    

I went to check out the park and my eyes landed on a big old oak tree standing on the middle of the park. It's the same old tree that unnie and I used to climb when we were kids, and I do remember that we engraved our names in it. I try to find it, and then I saw our names; Nabongie & Tzuyoda: Friends Forever <3

I sighed contentedly, walking down the memory lane brings me that nostalgic feeling. It's been like 10 years when we moved to Taiwan, and I admit that I really missed Korea. As I continue to stroll around, I feel hungry and luckily there's a convenience store at the corner of the street.

"Welcome!" The person on the counter greeted in which I respond with a smile.

She's beautiful, not gonna lie, and those eyes and pointy nose were so perfect for her face. Her smile is also captivating and it makes my heart skip a beat.

I shake my thoughts off and went to buy foods to satisfy my hunger. After choosing what to eat, I proceed to the counter and paid my food. There, I get to know her name.

YOO JEONGYEON...

"That'll be $500 dollars ma'am." She said while scanning the barcode.

"Do you accept cards? I don't have my cash with me." I stated and mentally scold myself for not bringing bills.

"Yes we do. Hold on for a second." She then grab the card reader and I handed the card. She swiped it and let me put the pin code.

"Thank you for buying! Have a nice day!" The girl uttered with a smile and I smiled back before leaving the store.

I happily walked down the streets and settled down at a small hut that serves as a resting place or like hangout spot, and opened the foods that I bought and ate them.

~timeskip~

Since the sun is now setting, visiting the night market might be a great idea. So I walked a few kilometers away and reached an open field that has tons of stalls and a big platform at the center, maybe there'll be a band that will perform later.

The night market here is much more different than what we have in Taiwan, maybe because the crowd is massive and such but there are many things to explore in here. I decided to stroll around and buy what catches my eyes and intrigued my curiosity. There were many items being sold like this snow globe with different tourist spots around the world, stuffed toys, clothes, bags, accessories like hairpins and clips, and of course foods.

There's also like an amusement fair in the end of the place and it is so loud and it seems fun. While I am busy strolling the place, a mic check can be heard and all of the people glanced at the platform on the center.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Tonight, we're here to witness a beautiful performance brought to you by Ms. Park Chaeyoung! Let us all give her a round of applause."

A tall, blonde girl climbed up the platform while carrying her guitar and sit on the chair on the stage. She adjusted the mic's height that fits for her and fixed the amplifier that was attached on the guitar. The girl did some warm up on the guitar and when she's ready, she started to play.

(A/N: The reference of this part is at "Sea of Hope" wherein Rosé played "The only Exception")

After the performance all the audience clapped their hands and the girl bowed before going down the stage. I felt like staying a bit more since it's so relaxing to watch, and then I discovered that this is a busking for a cause. The next performer have been introduced and they went up the stage, and adjust everything.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, give it up for Mr. Jung Haein and Ms. Lee Soohyun." The host announced and the crowd cheered for them.

(A/N: The reference of this part is at "Begin Again" wherein Haein and AKMU'S Soohyun sang "Meaning of You")

As their performance ended, the crowd cheered at them again and the host informed that they'll be back after a 30-minute break. I felt hungry from the time being, so I went on the stall that sells tteokbeokki and gimbap to buy. While waiting for my food, I wander my eyes and saw the first performer sitting on the table with her friends, congratulating and complementing her for her performance.

"Hey! Yoo Jeongyeon you missed Rosieposie's performance." One of them said.

"Yoo Jeongyeon? Is she the girl at the convenience store earlier?" I thought to myself and steal a glance at their table.

And my guess is true! She's the Yoo Jeongyeon that I saw on the store earlier. She's now wearing a black loose long sleeves and a white trousers, paired with her white high cut converse and body bag. She's so handsome the moment she run her fingers on her locks and jog her way towards her friends.

"Here's your order young lady." The old woman handed me the bowl of tteokbeokki and a plate of gimbap, then payed her. I took a seat on a table near them and eat my foods.

As I munch on my food, the laughter of Jeongyeon's circle is so loud and seems so fun that it makes me curious and made me to eavesdrop on what they're taking about.

"Hey It wasn't true. I swear to God that I saw you perform. I'm at the corner of that stall when you sing, and also I have proof." Jeongyeon beats the allegations by showing them the picture of Rosé singing.

"Nice pic, is it edited?" A tall guy asked and she glared daggers at him.

"Oh come on, shut up Kai oppa." Jeongyeon barked.

It was cute. I mean their friendship is cute and it somewhat relaxing to watch. Jeongyeon is so drop dead gorgeous tonight, it seems that my surroundings sparkle when she's around.

Realization hit me after I thought of those. Am I falling for her? But I only saw her today, is this normal? Gosh what is happening to me?  I shrugged my shoulders and quickly finished my food then move out from the table and went back on watching the busking.
