Remember we encircled a few important days with red on the calendar ? I did too. And that day when I resumed going to school was one of those encircled days. It definitely had to be new. 

All those fourteen days, I used it a little too much change. That broken Jimin was there but what dominated was a happy Jimin. That fear of being bullied again was there but what surpassed it was the gleaming excitement of smiling in front of everyone. 

I put on a black t - shirt which was decorated by a pastel light blue unbuttoned shirt whose sleeves were folded up to my elbows, which showed off my lower arms with light bruises and faint scars and a pair a black jeans. Now, that's something out of the blues. (😂) Wait - doesn't this morning seem a little empty ?

"Jimin- Oh ! Seems like you up already."

"Yup ! How do I look ?" I smiled like a child spreading my arms to show off my outfit to the particular someone who made my morning everyday. 

"You look simple... but cute." she said and walked away chuckling as I turned around to look at the mirror and check myself out while thinking about Soyeon.

Two weeks. 

The one who always stayed with me. 

The one who's voice I longed to hear the minute I woke up and that sung me to sleep. 

The one who's soft smile fluttered my heart like anything. 

She was there with me always. 

But there was another thing that stayed. 

The questions. And the desire to search their answers.

I left the house with Soyeon, and parted our ways on the main crossroad. 

"I wonder where she is going at 7 : 30 in the morning ?" I thought while looking for a chance to cross the road. 

Upon reaching the premise, which I once wanted to burn down, that fear creeped up again. Looking around carefully to see whether there was any brick kept for me to trip over or some other danger but on not finding one, I walked in over the concrete path to get inside the building. Holding on to the straps of my bag, I walked on with a small smile, greeting everyone that met in the way. 

As the distance between the building and me decreased, my smile widened by a small bit.

A "Hi ! How have you been ?"  startled me, but upon realizing who it was, I smiled even more. Remember those two classmates who I had lunch with before being bullied again ?  Yup ! It was them. 

I continued to walk with them as we talked about the upcoming tests and the class status. But, a scene caught my attention.

I stood in front of the building, far enough to see the entire structure without straining my neck. 

This is the same school whose students gave me so much pain, besides my dad, both physically and mentally. But, yet, I am here standing again with a smile on my face. 

"Hey ! Come on in. We are getting late." one of the classmates shouted.

"Coming."

The day was going to be great.
