Red String

How it all began

Flashback to elementary school

I was sitting next to a boy who loved to mess around during class time. For some reason he would always bring a blue teddy bear which I thought was pretty random.He would always play with that bear of his. Anyways I  would get annoyed with him because he wouldn't let me concentrate in class. That went on for almost a whole year. One day he wasn't acting like himself. He wasn't bothering me, looking at me, or even talking to me which made me kinda sad, because that was like a daily routine of his. I had to say something. After class I looked at him.
Me: What's wrong Jimin ? you look sad.
Jimin: Nothing I-I just lost my teddy bear recently my dog chewed it and ripped it to shreds.

I was very surprised at his answer, never would've thought that he would be that upset over that.

Me: Are you talking about the teddy bear that you always bring to school?
Jimin:Yeah that one.
Me: why are you sad over that?
Jimin: Because it was a gift my grandma gave me before she passed away. She said it was one of a kind.
Me: It was? Do you have whatever is left of the bear with you?
Jimin: Yeah I do.

He reached into his small backpack and got out each piece one by one. It was pretty bad, but there was a piece that wasn't as bad a the others. I took that piece and put it in my backpack. He looked at me confused. I said nothing and  left school and went home. I asked my mom a huge favor. I wanted to do something for Jimin. Since I remember every detail on how the bear looked I asked my mom to have someone make an exact replica of that bear and have them stitch the piece I took from Jimin.
The next day Jimin was still sad so I went up to him.
Me: Are you still sad?
Jimin: yeah I am.
Me: I have something for you.

I reached through my bag and grabbed the bear. Jimin looked surprised and happy. He made a face ive never seen before. His eyes were glowing and his smile was bright. He was smiling so hard you couldn't see his eyes.
Jimin: thank you Seo-yeon!

After that Ive felt something I've never felt before. Ever since then I wouldn't mind Jimin annoying me. I was glad. At such a young age I wanted to be where ever Jimin went. I made sure I went to the same school with him. Just to see him. 10 years passed and till this day I've fallen in love with him.
