"Grandma! I'll be back soon!"
It was summer vacation three years ago. I decided to put everything aside for a while and go stay at my grandmother's house in the countryside.
The weather was so hot that I decided to take a breather and kept walking until I reached a valley bridge. I tried to breathe in the fresh, country air and stare blankly at the valley...
It was just a moment.
The water in the valley rose and a water column formed and covered me.
"hi"
I didn't understand what the situation was right now.
For me, who is neither good at nor fond of swimming, it was just embarrassing. I could barely breathe, but this man was talking to me, and I wanted to see who it was, but I couldn't open my eyes properly because I was underwater, and when I finally opened my eyes, the world was blurry.
Still, I barely opened my eyes and saw
Handsome. Not just handsome, but I saw a man so handsome that I couldn't believe he was human.
First, because I was out of breath, I went up to the surface and breathed in and out roughly.
And then the water column lifted me back up onto the bridge.
Startled, I opened my eyes wide and looked forward again.
The water column appeared again, and this time it swallowed the man in the water.
"What is your name?"
Hey, what kind of embarrassing thing is this?
"Then...who are you...?"
"I'm Jeon Jungkook"
"Oh... Were you really surprised?"
How could I not be surprised? A sight I'd never seen before unfolded before my eyes.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you."
...Even if it was like that at first meeting, is he a good person..?
No, are you even a person in the first place..?
I decided to tell you his name since he didn't seem like a bad person.
"My name is Kim Yeo-ju."
I don't know why, but after I told him my name, there was a ten-second silence. I was going through a lot of thoughts like, "Is there something wrong with my name? Do you not like it?" and so on, when he spoke first.
"Do you believe in fate?"
What kind of nonsense are you talking about..? It's embarrassing enough to appear out of the water, so do you believe in fate..?
"yes..?"
"No. It was our first time meeting, and I was so rude."
"Are you coming tomorrow too?"
"Yes, I will. For sure."
I don't know. If it had been someone else, I would have been scared and avoided him, or felt uncomfortable. But he didn't feel that way. For some reason, he promised to come, regardless of my wishes.
And that's how I spent my days
"If you get caught, you're dead!!"
"Let's try to catch it lol"
"Mom lent me this. Want to take a picture?"
"Yeah. I'll take a picture."
"I'll take a picture!"
"One, two"
"three!!"
"It came out well!! Want a picture?"
"Yeah. I want to have it."
"Here it is! It's a gift!"
"thank you"
I spend each day like this
And so summer vacation ended.
