"can you check it one more time?" I asked desperately.
the girl then started to scan the computer again,"its still the same..there's no money left inside your account.."
"are you sure?..have you really check it??is the account correct?"
"yes,i'm sure..the account name is Lee jieun.."
"and it also stated here that you have took all the money yesterday..."
"what?w-what do you mean?"
"someone has took the money under your name.." she explained.
---
"omma!!omma!!"I shouted throughout my house.
I opened the door to her room,but still, the answer is still the same.she's not there.
I opened the door to my bedroom,"where is she going??.." I asked myself before my eyes immediately spotted the letter on my table.
I slowly walked to the letter,bending down to take it before I read it.
"jieun-ah..I'm sorry..yes its me omma,I take all of your money..you can do whatever you want to me when you meet me,but I did it for your own good..I'm so--
"omma..",I weakly crumpled the letter up into a ball,a droplet of tears can be seen falling to the surface of the paper.
"how can you do this to me..where are you actually??"
-----
[home]
while sitting beside the window,I looked up to the sky,I heaved a heavy sigh,"omma..what should I do now?I saved my money for about 5 years but now..its gone just like that.."
I reached my hand and tried to call her number again.
"the number you have dialled is unreachable,please try again after the beep sound"
I stared down to the floor,"what should I do?..how am I going to pay the cost for the university?.."
"should I just tell jungkook about this?.."
"..he's the only one I have now.."
suddenly,a sudden knock can be heard on my door,I shifted my gaze to the door,"come in.."
"..are you sleeping?" jungkook asked,getting inside the room.
"I'm not..why?" I asked as my eyes followed his move to sit on my bed.
"since we're a senior now..jimin and suji..they said they want to celebrate it"
"oh..really?..where?",I asked,not interested.
he nodded,"at jimin's father hotel..lets go with them..okay?"
I pursed my lips,slowly shaking my head,"I'm not going.."
jungkook's smile instantly gone,"why??you should come with us too"
"I'm just..not in the mood.." I slowly replied,"ummm..jungkook-ah.."
"actually..I want to say something important with you.."
jungkook quickly covered his ears,"come with me first..then you can tell me.."
"I said so,I don't want to go..I'm not in the mood,I really have to t--
"come with me first..then you can tell me.." he said,folding his hand across his chest.
I pouted,"fine.."

[next day]
"we'll get going now" I said to Mr and Mrs jeon.
"okay..be sure to come back home after the three days.." Mr jeon said.
we both bowed,"alright..abeoji.."
as soon as we got out from the house,we heard a honk from the car.
"hop in!" jimin said,waving his hand to us.
with smile plastered on his face,jungkook wave back at him,"lets go!" he said to me while grabbing my wrist softly.
I grabbed his wrist in return which instantly stopping him,"umm..about the thing..I want to ta--
"lets talk about it later..but right now...let's go.." he said with his excited face.
I heaved a heavy sigh,frowning bitterly,"how am I going to explain this to him..?"

"thank you..ahjussi",we all said while bowing.
jimin's driver dropped us in front of the Parks hotel.
"waaaahhh,what a nice hotel!" suji exclaimed in excitement.
"yah,lets go and check our room!" suji then said to me,hitting my shoulder repeatedly.
"..you can go first with jimin..I ..I have something important to settle with jungkook.." I replied.
"what?..do you guys have a fight?!" she asked while putting both of her hand on either side of her waist.
"n-no no...it's not like that..it's just a small matter.."
"suji-ah,jieun-ah...let's go..what are you guys doing here?" jimin suddenly popped out with his luggages.
"..nothing..let's go" suji quickly said,helping jimin with the luggages before leaving me.
"let me carry your bags..lets go" jungkook then said after getting all of the bags from the car.
I pursed my lips,clenching my hand into a fist before I hold his right arm,"jungkook-ah,actually..I want to talk with you"
"since you're here now..okay then,say it..what is it?" he asked.
"I can't say it here..I have to talk with you in private.."
"why?you can just say it here.."
I sighed,"..the thing is..I-
"jungkook-ah!",the familiar voice cutting my sentence right away.
jungkook shifted his gaze from me to the back,"oh noona,here!" he shouted back,smiling.
"you..bring her along?",I asked.
"yes..jimin said I can bring anyone..so I bring soojung noona too.." he said nonchalantly.
"oh.." I replied bitterly.
-----
"here...let's eat!" jungkook said as he put all the dishes on the table.
suji suddenly nudged me,"why did he bring her along?"
I nudged her back,telling her to shut her mouth.
"I'm sorry..I felt like I'm interrupted this-
"ayyy..it's nothing noona..right?"jungkook cut.
"uh..y-yes,its okay sunbae.." jimin replied.
"errr,how about we play something after this?cool?" jimin then changed the subject,trying to lighten the mood.
"oh cool,what do you guys want to play?"jungkook asked.

"OUCH...yah jeon jungkook,come back here!" jimin shouted as jungkook purposely threw the ball to him.
all the water splashed to me as they tried to run inside the pool,"yah yah yah...stop it!"
"aissshhh..look now..I'm wet..",I whine,looking at the both of them.
"yah..why are you sitting there,come and join us",jungkook said.
"I'm not here to have fun..I want to talk something with you"I said again.
jungkook just stared at me before he reached his hand in front of me,"come here"
"hurry...come here.."
I walked to him with my knitted eyebrows,"wha--"
I was cut when jungkook suddenly pulled my hand which then making me fall straightly into the pool.
"..yah.." I whined again,looking at him.
jungkook smiled,putting his arm around my shoulder,"we're here to have fun..you should smile pabo lee jieun"
"ttssskkk..pabo?it's been a while since you called me that.."I said while snorting,"okay then..pabo jeon jungkook"

day has come to the end as time passed by but jungkook was still playing with soojung and jimin inside the pool.
the cold wind blow against my skin,while sitting beside the pool,I was shivering to death.My lips and face were all pale.
"jieun-ah,you don't want to play anymore?" suji asked inside the pool.
I weakly shake my head to her,"I'm..I'm just..gonna sit here" I said,my voice trembled softly.
"..yah..are you okay?you looked so pale.." suji asked in worried as soon as she notice it,she quickly sit beside me.
"it's okay suji-ah,I'm ok--
"yah, jeon jungkook..come here!!" suji shouted.
jungkook quickly run to us,"why?what happened?"he asked in worried.
"I don't know,I think you should go to the hotel now..she need some rest.." suji said.
jungkook was just about to carry me before soojung suddenly come, stopping him.
"where you guys going?" she asked.
"jieun is not feeling well,I'm sorry noona..I can't accompanied you dinner today.." jungkook said in his low voice.
"but you bring me here..you promised me.."she said again.
"I'm okay..just go with her..you might not meet her often again when she enter the university..she's..she's your sister after all" I said to him.
"really?..are you okay?"
I nodded,"I'm okay..just..go..go now"
with his heavy step,jungkook pat jimin's shoulder,"take care of her.." he whispered before going with soojung.

it was already past 10 at night but jungkook was still no where to be found.
"..what should I do?I don't think I can tell him in this kind of situation.." I said to my self.
while backfacing the door,suddenly I heard a knock on it.
"..yah..are you alright now?" jungkook voice can be heard from the door.
I sighed,"what do you think?"
"you're mad right??I know it..if you're not feeling well..you should tell me first.." he said,still standing at the door frame.
"mind your own business"
"yah..I'm trying to talk nic--
"I'm sleepy,I don't want to have a fight with you,it's the best thing if you leave me alone now.."I said coldly,still backfacing him.
jungkook clenched his teeth,"aishhh,you're too much lee jieu--okay..okay..I won't bother you anymore!"he said while slamming the door before him.
"..stupid..you're really stupid jeon jungkook.."
I quickly wiped my tears away when I heard the click sound from the door.
"I told you..leave me al--
"jieun-ah,its me...soojung unnie.."

"did you guys..have a fight because of me?" she asked.
while sitting on the bed,I slowly shake my head,"no..it's just us.." I lied.
"then why I can sense that you're lying right now?"
"it's not your fault unnie..it just us..I think both of us just..still immature about this marriage"
soojung let a sigh,"jieun-ah..can you promised me one thing?"
"promised me that..you will let go of jungkook for me.."
"..can you do that?"
with tears welled up in my eyes,I let a bitter smile.
"unnie..I don't have to promise you anything..even if you didn't asked for my permission.."
"I know jungkook will go to you..."
"because he really loves you..a lot.."
