ARIA
"I'm Sorry. Your father's died." Tears rolled from my eyes to my cheek when I heard that my father is no more in this world.
I cried. I cried so much. I tried to tell this news to my mother but I can't do it. I can't tell this to mom because she is a heart patient. If she'll know about this, Wh-what will happen? Why God? Why you've given all the sorrow to me?
"But this will have to be told to the mom." I got up from the ground and headed straight home.

"Noooo." Mom yelled after hearing this bad news.
"Thi-This is not true. Y-you are lyi-lying. Say that this is only a joke. Say." Mom yelled again, holding the collar of my crop top.
What can I do except crying?
"It's true Mo-" But before completing my sentence I saw that Mom is holding her left chest, on the place of heart. She's trying hard to control her pain but all in vain.
"Mooom. Noooo."

"Aria." I heard a soft voice and turned back at that direction from where that sound has come. As I thought, he is Jungkook.
"What happened to your parents?" Tears filled in my eyes when he asked about my parents.
"Th-They are died." By saying this, I went out from school.
After that, I have put all my efforts, studying for the examination. Jungkook has actually kept his promise and has not bother me again. Before I realize it, college entrance exam has come and gone in haste. It's a year we once feared it and looked forward to it. It's a year we once loved and hated. The third year of high school just like that, has found its way in the hot summer days to an end.

"Cheers."
Everyone is enjoying their last day in this school or can say that the last party given by the school. Dance, music, wines and everything.
I'm just sitting at a corner of the hall drinking some juice with Eunji.
Suddenly I saw Jungkook is standing just besides me and is staring at me continuously while drinking water.
I ignored him and saw at other direction.
"Aria. Is there anything you want to do yet you don't have the courage to do." Eunji said and went to Taehyung who was standing on the wine counter with Jungkook.
"Taehyung. Can we have dance?" As soon as she asked, I started laughing.
Jungkook too.
"What? Afraid of dance? It's just a dance. I'm not afraid of anyone." He said while giving his hand to Eunji. He started teaching how to dance to her. And after a moment, they started dancing well.
How cute they are looking together! Isn't it? Hope they will become a couple.
Suddenly Hye Jin took a seat beside me.
"Have you realized...this evening Jungkook is really not in shape." She said while looking at Jungkook. But Why she is telling me about this?
"In so many years of acquaintance, I have not seen him like this before. Affection is such a powerful force. There is no seniority. There is no reason. I have known him from eighteen years and liked him for eighteen years. But these eighteen years, can't even compare with the three years of your existence."
"Aria." She rolled her eyes towards me.
"I don't like you. Jungkook is a prince charming. But you, you are not the Cinderella. After University Graduation, He is going to US to carry on his business. His life. BTS. And you?"
"I really have not thought about this." I said breaking the silence between us.
"Are you qualified to think? You are not suitable to each other. He's nice to you just for the sake of sympathy. Youth is boundless!" Seeing her eyes, it's seems that she is really jealous of me.
What? Jealous of me? Why I'm thinking that she is jealous of me?
"Aria. Dance with me?" Suddenly Jungkook come and put his hand in front of me.
"Me? I-I can't dance." I asked hesitatingly.
"I'll teach you."
I ignored him and was going somewhere but he pulled me by my arm to the stage.
He put my one hand on his shoulder, hold another in his hand and hold me by my waist. He is smiling continuously.
I smiled too. I put my hand one his shoulder more tightly.
Suddenly Lights get off. I got scared and hugged him.
Lights are back after a minute or so. I found me in his chest hugging him tightly. I took a glare of him and went from there.
"Aria."
Is he following me? I turned at his direction.
"Come to Seoul with me." He asked taking a step Forward to me.
"Aria. Stay with me. Okay?"
"But I won't be eligible for a good University." I said keeping my eyes on his.
"Your current level will definitely get you into a regular University in Seoul."
Huh?
I started looking at moon.
"Aria, be my girlfriend! Go to Seoul with me. Aria, be with me forever." He yelled seeing at the moon. I turn my face to his direction and found that he is staring at me too.
Now, the whole is aware of my thoughts.
"You can't say no." He said coming close to me.
I kissed him on his cheek and by maintaining a breathable distance between us I said, "I understand your thoughts."
"So we..."
"Good night, Jungkook." I faked a smile to him.
"G-Good night. Goodbye!" I went from there filling tears in my eyes.
Goodbye Jungkook. I'll remember this night forever. Just like when Jungkook first appeared, his eyes were full of gloaming glory. But he had ever known this kiss is my last gift for leaving him, he would not have stood there like an i***t.
Goodbye Jungkook! Goodbye!
