A year later

After all the things I have gone through, if I have learned something, it is the fact that if something, is meant to be it'll come to you no matter what the circumstances. And most importantly, it'll come to you when you least expect it.

Finally, after a year- A dress, dim lights, loud music and a crowd of people did not make me uncomfortable anymore. Or is it because this time the party is held in a familiar place that I call my second home.

"Noona can you get me a glass of soda?" Jungkookie interrupted, while squatting on the couch with a group of his friends totally immersed into the video game.

"Go and get it yourself!" I replied.

"Noona please! I don't wanna lose this match!-"

"Yah go right!" He yelled at his friend gripped his controller tighter while leaning side to side as the video goes on.

I let out a sign before heading in. On my way in I saw Tae and Aera lost in their own world while staring at eachother form a distance. The past few day I noticed some uncomfortable tension between the two.

"Have some guts gurl!" I whispered to Aera while walking past her.

I was standing near the drinks counter pouring a glass of soda when I felt someone come and stand near me.

"Hey!" It was a guy with blonde hair.

"Hey." I greeted back. It was Jin Oppa's party so, I assumed he must be one of his guests.

"Aren't you Jin's little sister?" He asked me while pouring himself a glass as well.

"Yeah, you can say so, but not a biological one." I was about to walk away when he passed a comment.

"That's great then! I won't have to fear Jin. Can I have your number?" He smirked in excitement leaning in.

"Umm, I'm sorry?" I replied, confused.

"Oh right sorry! I'm Julien! and you are?" He asked, striking his hand out for a handshake.

"I think you got a wrong id-" I paused when I felt someone place a coat over my exposed shoulders.

"Sorry, babe I'm late!" He said, before pecking my cheek. Without a doubt, it was Jimin.

"It's alright." I turned to his side smiling and was going to reply to the blond guy when.

"Oh, and you, as you can see she already has a loving boyfriend you can go and try your luck on some other chick." He spoke before I could.

He got near and whispered into his ear. "Just do your homework on whether they are single as well as if have a sibling before trying to hit on them... Julien."

He tapped his shoulder while smirking.

He stared at both of us for a second and walked away after apologising.

"Yah! You didn't have to scare him like that. Even I was going to give him a reality check." I playfully smacked his shoulder.

"Whatever, Let's get out of here. I don't want other guys staring at my girl." He replied, squinting his eyes looking around.

"Let them live." I let out a chuckle and wrapped my hands around his arm.

"I'm craving ice cream." I whined, pouting.

"Same!" He looked at me, widening his eyes.

"Are we telepathic or something?" He asked, playing along.

"No, It's just that you have been sticking to me the whole year that my habits have become your habits as well," I replied with a disgusted expression and playfully walked away.

I went to Jungkook's seat and placed the glass infront of him.

"Come with me!" Jimin came behind me and intertwined our hands.

~

"Both of you get back home on time." Yoongi Oppa said as we informed him we were leaving early.

"Call and inform me if you guys are directly heading to your campus!" Jin Hyung reminded.

"Yeah yeah! We know Hyungs. Later!" Jimin replied and pulled me through the crowd of sweaty people.

We were in the Ice cream place deciding which ice cream will satisfy our black holes which normal humans call the stomach.

"What do you want?" I asked him after staring at the menu board for a minute.

"The Chocolate one!" He said, pointing at the picture of a cup full of chocolate ice cream with Choco chip toppings.

"Okay, then two chocolate ones!" I ordered

"and two butterscotch ones as well!" I heard someone beside me order.
It was Hoseok and Inha.

"Yah! You scared me!" I stepped back.

'When did you get here? And who said I was buying?" I asked them, widening my eyes in surprise.

"Y/n~ please." Both of them quickly grabbed the either arm of mine and started making babyfaces.

"Alright, only if you let go of me!" They let go of me the very second and went to take a seat.

"Ah... Those guys." I said searching for my wallet when I heard Jimin giggling looking at me.

"What?"

"Want me to pay?"

"No! I'm paying," I replied handing the money to the ice cream man.

"Alright... I'll get the Ice cream go sit with them." He said pushing my shoulder towards them.

As soon as he got back and placed the tray on the table before taking a seat beside me all of us grabbed our cups and started digging in.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked as they were sitting on the opposite side of us.

"Nothing, the party was energy-consuming so we thought we would crash into you guys," Inha replied, chugging in her Ice cream.

"So, what are we on? A double date?" Jimin asked, taking his scoop.

"Double-date? What are you talking about? We are just Third and fourth wheeling!" Said Hoseok.

"I don't think so, It is a double date!" Replied Jimin while eyeing both.

"Yah! How many times should I tell you we are just FRIENDS!" Inha replied with a neutral expression.

"Oh yeah? I just saw you both almost eating each other's face off a few minutes ago?" Jimin suspected, leaning back.

"EATING WHAT?" I widened my eyes, looking at them. Inha's expression quickly changed.

"See, this is why I told you to control your horny-ass!" Inha spoke, turning to Hoseok.

"How many times should I tell you it's your fault! I just fall for you, even more, every time you smile at me that way." He replied, side hugging her, giving her a weird smile.

"WHAT THE-" I covered my mouth with my hand, almost choking on my Ice cream.

"Hobi~ Don't say such things..." She paused while looking at him and turned away.

"...it makes me blush."

Jimin and I turned to each other, making the same disgusted expression.

"My eyes and ears will start bleeding if this goes on." He held my hand and got up.

"Same! Why are we even here?" I replied, picking up my bag, ready to leave.

"Alright, guys... sorry. We'll stop!" Hoseok said, letting go of his grip around her.

All of us started laughing as both of us sat back on our seat.

After an hour of talking about their story on how they got together and stuff, we parted ways.

Jimin and I were on our way to our usual place. I was being, piggyback ridden, by him cause I was very lazy to walk.

~

It was late evening when we reached our destination. During the past year we kind of renovated that place. We installed few lights for the night and hid a few snacks for ourselves and the fishes in the pond.

We made ourselves home by lying on the lawn as usual, star grazing. It was cool and breezy. The wind, the sound of the water and stars made it more calming. He was playing with my hair as I had my head on his stomach.

"This place is a vibe, it's beautiful and comfortable whenever we come here!" I said, raising my hand to the sky. Trying to see the stars through my finger gaps.

"Yeah... I used to come here whenever I missed you, it really helped me a lot!" He replied. I could hear him let out a chuckle after a pause.

"What did you do coming here?" I was suddenly curious how he dealt with that.

"Hmm... Drew your portraits." He revealed.

"What?" I sat up and looked at him in surprise. "My portraits?"

"Humm" He nodded.

"You never showed them to me!" I was excited to see them.

"You have seen them!" He replied, sitting up. I was, flabbergasted.

"What? When? You never-"

"Remember the first time we met after years? You came to return my cylindrical holder and asked me if it was my girlfriend's portrait I had drawn?" He questioned.

"Oh yeah, I remember at the café!" I recalled.

"Wait- what? Those were my portraits?" I asked, widening my eyes when I caught on.

He just nodded, raising his eyebrows and pursing his lips.

"Let's go to the campus! I want to see them again!" I ordered, getting up, eager to take a look at them properly.

"They are not there..." He got up and walked back to a corner. "They are here."

"Where?" I asked following him. He got to a corner and pulled something out.
He turned around and walked to me, holding the same holder.

"What is this doing here?" I asked, nearing him. He twisted open the cap and took out the sheets.

He laid them down and held them straight for me.

"It's really me!" I said as my Jaw almost dropped.

Taking a look at them one by one, I realised how detailed every portrait was. The features, the expression and the proportions were all perfect.

"How?" I asked, not being able to take my eyes off them.

"You don't know how much I freaked out when you said you took a look at them! I thought you recognised them and thought I was a creep or a stalker-"

I cut him by jumping on him for a hug and wrapped my legs around him.

"I Love you! I really really really love you." I was about to tear up. I could see he had poured all his heart into it. It's not easy to make an accurate portrait of someone without a reference. It really takes a lot of memory and affection for that person to get it perfect.

"I love you more!" He hugged me back tighter snuggling his face into my neck.

All I could think was how thankful I was to have someone like him by my side no matter what. There's just something about him that made me want to know him ever since the day I met him. Even years later, when I had no memory of him there was something about him that drew me towards him.    It's strange, how I fell in love with the same person all over again, how insecure I got when some other girl got close to him, how I felt ease around him even when I had no clue I had an history with him.

I think it's incredible how despite the distance between two people, you'll never stop loving them. It's just how love works, I suppose, you either love them forever or you never loved them to begin with. Your love for them doesn't leave just because you are separated from them in anyway. If it is for the right person, it shall and will be immortal.
