Sanhyul's POV:
I clearly remember that day when they shifted here. It was one of the most important days of my life which lead to this day. I was sitting on the porch and was reading a comic. They had so many things with them. My Mom came outside, "I guess our new neighbor arrived." From that car, a beautiful little girl came out and she was holding a cute parrot soft toy. I thought she was the same age as mine but apparently, she was younger than me. She always tried to talk to me whenever her mom came to our house or my mom took me to hers. She used to show me all her toys and as I was shy, I avoided her but I used to like her attention towards me. She used to share everything with me even if I didn't talk to her or tell her to shut up most of the time. She keeps blabbering everything whatever happens to her at school and we were in the same school. So, I couldn't even avoid her there even if I wanted to. Whenever there is any lunch break or any break she always finds her way to me and shares whatever food she has brought. I started to get used to her. Sometimes I just used to sit and watch her play with all my toys.
Time passed by and my fondness towards her increased. My days seem to feel incomplete if I don't see her. Once she went to India with her family for a week and I started missing her like crazy. I thought I should avoid her from now on fearing that this attachment is hurting me too much. But this was a bad decision and in my defense I was too young to understand these feelings. I was naive to even recognise my fondness towards her. When she came back, I stopped going to her home to meet her and started making new friends. I started to avoid her in school like a jerk that I was.
That was the time when Han showed up in our life. He and his family came to visit us and he started talking to her and she started to share everything with him because I wasn't there. They used to go to parks, nearby arcade and she used to spend time with him after school too. I knew Han will leave in 2-3 weeks and after he leaves, only I will be there with her. But as their bond grew, I became jealous and sometimes even thought of hurting Han so that he stays away from her. Once, we all went to the nearby park because it had a pond full of swans and Jas used to love swans. I was sitting on a bench nearby that pond minding my own business, i.e., reading my comics and they were playing near that pond.
Suddenly, I couldn't see them playing where they were and went to find them. Han and Jas had fallen inside the pond and Han was trying to help her even if couldn't help himself. I panicked and ran to find someone in the park to help us out. Thankfully, I found someone to help them and in the meantime I called out my Mom. Both of them were unconscious.
This incident had affected both of them and it had affected Jas more to Jas than Han. She was unconscious for about 2 weeks and due to this, she had forgotten everything about Han and before she woke, Han and his family had already gone back to Seoul. But, as I was still not sure of my feelings and to keep Han away from her, we made that deal.
When she was unconscious, I had forgotten to sleep or even have my meals. I was scared to leave her side. So, I was always beside her. Even then, I was sure I didn't want to lose her. She was the only constant source of happiness. As my parents always used to travel, I was alone most of the time at my home with my caretaker. Even if I was alone, I was used to it and never felt lonely but her absence made me felt how lonely I was without her.
