Lee Yeong's P.O.V

Kim SeokJin.

My 1st best friend and my first love. This seems like a cliche love story where childhood friends were separated and and meet again in the future, 'coincidentally' going to the same high school and fall in love and get married in the future; except it's not.

As a child, I came quite attached to Kim SeokJin. We were quite different though. He liked music, I liked reading. He likes the colour pink and I liked the colour blue. Then what did we do together? I hear you ask. Well since he loved to cook and I love to eat.. He cooked food for me and of course I would gladly accept it.

When we were about 8, we were closer than ever. People at school started teasing us that we were in a relationship. Of course, I would only go as red as tomato sauce and just ignore them but Jin would smile to them and kindly say that we were only best friends which only hurt me every time. Jin's parents work at a cafe that they own and me and Mr. Broad Shoulders would visit the cafe after school everyday.

May 15th, 10:00. My 10th birthday. I woke up with a smile (A/N is that even possible ohmygod) and swung my legs off the bed and ran to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth, washed my face and combed my hair. I ran downstairs with a smile but my toothy grin soon dropped down when I saw my mother sobbing, her back leaning against the door and her knees against her chest. "M-Mummy..? What happened?" The sobbing woman lifted her head slowly. She then quickly stood up and went to hug the poor 10 year old. "Mummy? Where's daddy?" The woman then started sobbing harder. "Your father.. he's sleeping now.. but we won't see him for a while, but he will come back." I was confused "Why would daddy be sleeping for that long?" I asked innocently "Because he was tired, honey.." She said quietly. "Mummy? Will I still have my birthday party?" I inquired. "Sorry baby girl, I don't think we can but we can defiantly have one next year and we can 2 cakes and twice the presents" She promised and gave a sad smile. A few hours later, someone knocked on the door. I opened the door and there he was. Kim SeokJin. He was smiling, his beautiful soft brown hair was glistening in the sunlight. He was holding a small gift box in both his hands. "Happy birthday, Yeongie!!" He shouted and embraced me. "Thank you so much, Jinnie!!" I said and smiled. Jin had stayed over for the night and we played games and messed around. He had returned home in the afternoon.

My mum knocked on my door. "Yes?" I answered. My mum then opened the door and said "Honey, I have some bitter-sweet news for you." I then payed fulled attention to her. "We're moving to Australia" There was a silence. "Wait.. what about daddy? He's gonna wake up and not know where we are. And Jinnie!! He's my best friend!! I can't leave him! He can come with us right..?" Tears started forming in my eyes. "This can't actually be happening.. right?" Your mother hugged you "Honey.. I already bought the aeroplane tickets" The tears started spilling from my eyes. I walked to my bed and buried my self in blankets and quietly sobbed but soon fell asleep.

I woke up. 'Ah.. another dream..' I thought. I was now 18 and I have lived in Australia for 8 years. Everyday, I had that dream. The worst day of my life and also my 10th birthday. I got out of bed. I walked to my bathroom and brushed my teeth, washed my face and combed my hair. I slowly walked downstairs with my eyes half open. "Good morning, mum" It was silent and no one replied. "She must've went to work early" I was eating breakfast and suddenly I thought of Kim SeokJin. Tears filled my eyes. "How is he?" This thought came up at least once a day. I wanted to meet him again. But what if he forgot about me and I just get hurt even more? The tears just kept on coming and coming and it didn't want to stop.

It was 5PM and all I've been doing is listening to iKON songs. My mum came home and shouted "Yeongie! I have good news for you!!" I ran downstairs and smiled "Hi mum, What's the good news?" I asked. "I managed to get aeroplane tickets back to Seoul and managed to get the same house we used to live in" She said excitedly. My smile grew bigger. "Ohmygosh!! Mum, you're the best!!" She simply laughed and said "I know"

We just got off the plane in South Korea. There were a bunch of people but one person stood out from the crowd. It was a miracle.

"Kim SeokJin?"

"Lee Yeong?"
