"Happiness is not a happening,
It's not an occurrence.
It's a decision that appears to be so hard to cultivate."

Yoonbi
"...and I'm practically not going to exist anymore, not really, but anyway! You are still sleeping for god's sake!"
A squeaky voice shouts at me, in my sleep. What the hèll? I pull the covers over my body and check the time with a glimpse at my alarm clock.
5:47 am.
Fük you, SoMin!
I curse when I realize she's the one shouting in my room this early, "these are my last hours! Before you regret this get up and let's do something!"
I sigh in irritation and sit up so suddenly that my face goes through hers, "do what! You ditched me last night!" I scold grumpily.
"I was doing something! I'm sorry okay! Just come on, get up and escort me to the skies."
I gradually get my senses back as she talks, "me?"
"Yeah, you, Yoonbi yah." She does aegyo. I shake my hands at her and run to my bathroom.
"Stop stop!! Don't even do this again!" I hear her laugh as I shut the door to wash up. My hair was still damp till now because I was too lazy to dry it last night.
When I'm done I open the door that links my closet and bathroom, gasping when I see SoMin inspecting my uniform. "You frightened me!"
"Oh girl, you got lots of surprises ahead of you! I'll be having lots of fun!" She tells herself excitedly. I shake my head, not even bothering to understand what she means as I take my uniform and kick her out.
After I change and pull on my black shoes I let my damp hair loose down my shoulders, I have plans of looking like a mess of frizz, it'll help scare people away. The uniform was just the same as it was back in Busan. Only colors are different and the skirt is shorter. I scoff, "what's so scorn worthy?" SoMin asks.
"Look." I gesture at my revealed legs.
"What? You look good!"
I roll my eyes, "people are perverts over here." I comment.
She laughs, "oh you didn't see anything yet! I had the time of my life yesterday."
I get my bag from beside my desk and shove some school supplies inside before checking the school location on my phone by typing the name on the uniform into my google maps.
"Really?" I say as we go down the stairs. She nods and blabbers excitedly, explaining the pretty city lights and amazing stores. All the while I was looking around the amazing new kitchen that I just got to see now. Oh my god. It's amazing!
The fridge is a glory on its own and the cabinets are white with silver borders, the counters are made of marble that had a mixture of black brown and beige colors, and the kitchen is equipped with all modern machines.
Heaven.
Mom rocks.
"Mom! Dad! I'm going for a walk then I'll head to school! Have a bright day!" I shout from the kitchen. As I shove a toast slice into my mouth, I ditch making my own coffee and decide to buy it after I escort SoMin. "I love your kitchen mom!" I shout one last time as I go out of the house.
With the thought of my mom smiling because of me first thing in the morning, a smile is painted on my own face. "Let's go SoMin," we walk down the street.
Good day so far. Bright day.
"Let's go to the Han river. My escort will be waiting for me there." SoMin leads the way as I nod to her.
"You went there before?"
"Yeah, last night. It's so pretty at night. As well as day I bet!" She claps excitedly. After walking for a good twenty minutes we arrive, I had my earphones on all the way as we talked.
"Here we are." She turns to me and stretches her hands, gesturing the river. I nod, feeling my eyes wet. I hate goodbyes. "Oh don't cry Yoonbi!" She commands but that only makes my tears slip out.
"I can't, I will miss you a lot." I sob.
"I will miss you too, oh god we can't even hug." I nod as I look at her with my wet eyes. A man in a formal black suit and a knee length coat appears behind her.
"Sunbae!" She bows. He's her escort then. "I will have to go now, be happy Yoonbi." She waves at me.
I wave back lifelessly and sob one more time, "I love you SoMin." I tell her. I see tears on her cheeks as well.
"I love you too, Yoonbi." She waves as she slowly fades away in a shimmer of bight light. And I'm left alone again.
I was mistaken. How can it be a good day when SoMin is leaving. Be happy. I can't be happy without my friend. I rub my tears off and walk to a coffee shop to clear my thoughts.
You will always be in my mind SoMin, but it will be hard for me if I keep remembering you the whole time. Please be happy as well.
Deep inside I wish I won't think about you a lot. How can I do that when I grew so attached to you?
My fingers trace over the coffee paper cup, seeking it's warmth. Then I take out my mini portion bottle and drink from it before I sip on my much needed coffee.
It's going to be okay. I will try moving on.
I can do it.
I walk alone to school while drinking my coffee, I sigh when I see the school building a few meters away.
"Here we go." I mutter and turn to a trash bin to throw my paper cup before continuing my way.
As soon as the paper cup is inside the bin, I hear a loud horn of a truck and my head snaps to the street.
A child is standing obliviously as the truck nears him by the second, I didn't have time to think. I couldn't. Right there in the middle of the street I moved in the high speed of mine and pulled the young boy into my chest before moving myself back to the pavement.
I pant in worry and relief, my heart throbs inside my chest, "oh my god, thank god." I hug the boy to myself. He mumbles incoherently before I hear a noise of rushed steps.
"Hyungbin ah! Come on, I told you don't play with strangers on the street!" A woman in heels and a formal attire calls to her son. "I'm so sorry dear, have a nice day." I nod to her as she takes her son by the hand and walks away.
I take a step back and touch my harshly beating heart, "that was close boy." I sigh and turn around to complete my way to school.
But it wouldn't end there. A disaster has to happen. When I look at the other side of the street I see a teenage boy around my age staring right at me.
My heart hammers even harsher now as I swallow the lump in my throat, I look into his brown eyes, the window to his mind and I see myself running to save a young boy who would've almost died.
I see myself running in an abnormal speed to save a kid in the middle of the street.
I see myself using my mutant powers.
He saw me. No. No. No. It's not even my first day. This can't happen.
He can't talk about it to anyone. He can't tell anyone about it or I'm done for! I'm over if he tells anyone! I shake my head in denial.
He can't talk about it to anyone!
I use all my energy to move to him and pull him into an alley in a speed eyes can't trace. I'm not going to let anymore people see me. This is not happening.
I slam his tall strong build against the wall, if he resists in anyway I'll be done for. He looks too strong. He looks at me, sadness, disbelief and hopelessness is all I see in his brown irises.
A whole story was behind these eyes. I shake my head and look up at him again as I crumble his white shirt between my fingers.
"Whoever you are," I begin with a heavy breath, "you didn't see this. You didn't see me. Don't talk about this to anyone. Not a creature." I say in a sinister tone then my voice breaks at the scenarios my mind is building.
My parents. My new life. My last chance.
Law #22. This can't happen.
"Please." I plead as my hands loosen on him, my forearms are against his chest as I hide my nearly wet eyes by looking down.
He suddenly pushes me back, I look up at him in shock, my eyes meet his evasive ones, albeit they looked so full, so tempting, pulling me in. But before I could reveal his story, his conscious talks to me.
I won't. But he doesn't tell me that, he only tells himself. He didn't talk at all, he just looked at me intrigued. It begins to get intimidating.
I take one more step away from him and breathe out, "please tell me you won't talk about this to anyone. I don't know you and you don't know me. Just forget what you saw."
Okay. I won't. Promise. He nods to me.
I nod as well but before I turn away from him I look at his handsome face one more time. Curiosity getting the better of me, I find myself collecting a brief introduction about my witness.
He's not a bad boy. So quiet mostly. He has a tragedy behind his own self. He's girls' dream yet he still isn't a playboy, if he's something then he's an innocent boy. He loves his brother a lot. And shares the same feeling towards another five boys.
He's my age. But he's born in September while I'm born on December.
I look at him as he moves, heading out of the alley. But I couldn't let him go before I know one more thing.
What's his name?
My mutant powers give me the answer just before he turns his back to me and walks away.
The name is Jungkook.
Jeon Jungkook.
