Chapter 3: Old Times Are Just Memories

Amy's POV 7:15 A.M.

"What?!" I almost squeaked when Jin suddenly slammed his hands on the desk! Thank goodness I got my mouth covered with my hand in time.

"Boarding school? What do you mean boarding school?! Explain it to me this second!" Jin demanded while repeatedly slamming his hands on the desk, forgetting the fact that it's the principal he's talking to.

Principal Enna's face didn't falter at all. At first, she was startled, but now, she just looked at him in interest, and eyes that I feel like were saying, 'I knew it.'

I looked at Jin and scanned his face. Thankfully, he wasn't angry. He was probably surprised, is all. His expression with his left eye twitched looks cute~ 'He never changes.' I thought, remembering the time when we played together before.

(End of Amy's POV)

FLASHBACK 6:00 P.M. - Only Amy knows this right now, okay?-LBH

A little girl with pink hair braided neatly on her back, joyfully ran through the street. "Hurry up Jin! The festival is here~!" She inquired, excited about the upcoming festival. "Come on, you slowpoke~!" She waved her hands in the air, signifying the boy who she was waiting for where she was.

The so called boy showed up with an exhausted face. "What's the hurry, Amy? It's not like the festival's going to run," He complained a little with his hands in his pocket, "and if you run like that, you might trip on your dress…" He pointed out to Amy, who's wearing a light red spaghetti strap dress, reaching down to her knees.

Amy didn't seem to be bothered by what he said and ignored it. "We have lots of things to do! Like… eat cotton candy, play the shooting the prize game, the fish catching game… and play the-" She starts to enumerate the things they ought to do. Jin stared at her with a look that said, 'I want to go home…' He's not interested in things like this anyway.

"-and that's when we take a break and eat cotton candy again!" Amy exclaimed happily, enjoying her day.

"I'm too tired… I don't have too much energy like you…" Jin tried to get out with his head hung low on the ground.

"Ooooh! Come on! You'll miss out all the fun~!" Amy pestered him.

"But-" Before Jin could complain anymore, Amy grabbed his wrist and walked right into the festival.

OoOoOo

They entered it and saw many stands filled with food and lots of fun games.

"Oh-oh! Look at that!" Amy pointed her finger at the stand where you have to shoot at the prize to get it.

"I'm gonna' try it!" She exclaimed with glee.

"But, Amy, it's not that easy-" Jin couldn't even finish his sentence as Amy was already running off to the stand.

"Oh well," He mumbled to himself and sighed. He shrugged while smiling a little at Amy's childishness and followed her.

Jin reached Amy and saw her handing out some coins to the man who owns the stand.

Amy noticed Jin and smiled at him, he smiled back.

Amy got the weapon to shoot at the prize from the man. She set herself in position and targeted the rabbit doll. A/N: The rabbit doll is Twinky ;)

She pulled the trigger and it missed the doll above its shoulder. Amy felt disappointed, but dismissed it and targeted it again, unfortunately, it missed again.

"One more," The man reminded her.

Amy was on the verge of crying, she only had one chance left. Jin noticed this and grabbed the gun. Amy looked at him and he just smiled. He set himself in position and- tick – it hit the doll and it fell!

Amy was surprised at how good Jin is at this. He doesn't even know guns that much! Amy thinks she knows more about it, but in actuality, maybe she was wrong.

The man handed out the claimed prize at Jin and smiled at him, then at Amy. Jin smiled back yet again to the man.

Jin turned to her and held out the doll. "Here." He said with a warm smile. 'It's just like when he gave me his handkerchief…' Amy thought with a nostalgic memory.

She looked at the doll. 'How cute…' She thought while admiring the rabbit doll. She looked at Jin who was smiling at her.

Looking back at the doll, she slowly took it from Jin's hands. She gazed at it for a moment… and hugged it after.

"Thank you sooo much Jin~!" She exclaimed to him and hugged him like a teddy bear.

Jin said, "Welcome…" and patted her back.

Amy let go of him and suggested, "Let's go there!" Immediately changing her trance, she pointed her finger to the creepy-looking house. It seems like a haunted house. Jin looked at her, curious. "You sure? When we went to the cemetery, you freaked out didn't you?" Jin worriedly asked.

Amy remembered the incident and stiffened a little, Jin didn't fail to notice this.

"Well? Do you still want to go?" He questioned teasingly.

Amy recovered from her trance. "Of course I want to go! I'm not a baby…!" She pointed out to him while screaming, making Jin cover his ears with his hands. She pouted.

"All right, all right already. Fine." He gave in.

"Well then… let's go~!" Amy marched to the house.

". . ."

". . ."

". . ."

Amy stopped from her tracks and turned to Jin who hasn't moved yet. "D-don't just stand there!" She shakily said.

Jin heavily sighed. He followed where Amy is and Amy went on.

OoOoO

"Aaaaaah!" A shriek could be heard through out the haunted house.

"How come there are bats in here?!" Amy inquired.

"Well, duh, this is a haunted house. And, it's not a real bat; it's just some stupid robot." Jin informed her. He looked around and saw a spider web hanging in the ceiling, the dirty molds on the walls, creepy, blood-like paintings, and those other stuff.

Amy glared at Jin a little. "You don't have to be so snippy about it." Complaining, she pouted and continued on.

"You're the one who wanted to come here." Jin informed her yet again.

No reply.

Jin sighed. He didn't mean to say that. He's just really tired, is all.

.

.

.

"Aaaaah!" He heard another shriek. He sighed again. He reached Amy who's shaking terribly.

He pats her on her shoulder, and Amy, who didn't know this, gave a loud scream. Jin covered his ears with his hands because Amy's shriek became louder than before.

"Amy… Amy! It's me, Jin!" He informed her while he was covering his ears. Amy stopped screaming and turned to look at the voice who spoke.

"It's just you Jin… you scared me." She said while trying to regain her breath.

His eye twitched.

"More like you scared me…" He sent right back to her.

.

.

.

"Jin, you win. I'm really scared… Let's get out here now, please?" Amy begged him with pleading eyes.

Jin didn't even give a second thought and grabbed her hand and walked right back to the entrance even though that's not allowed.

Amy was surprised at this and blushed, Jin failing to notice this because it's too dark.

OoOoO

"Finally!" Amy stretched her arms after they got out.

"Thanks, Ji-" Amy failed to finish the sentence when she noticed Jin staring at his watch so intently.

"Jin?" Amy questioned.

Jin removed his serious gaze and smiled. "Let's go."

Before Amy could reply, Jin's already walking off.

Amy reached him and asked, "What's the rush?"

Jin only smiled at her and walked faster.

"Wait up!"

OoOoO

Jin and Amy reached a forest with a slope. Jin walked up to it, with Amy following behind him.

"What are we doing here, Jin?" Amy questioned him again.

Jin didn't reply.

"If you're going to scare me, it's not funny, okay?" She worriedly exclaimed.

"Don't worry." He assured her.

"Okay…"

They finally reached the top when Jin stopped. Amy was confused.

She inspected where they are and her eyes widened at the scene.

From here, they could see the city filled with colorful lights. You could see the whole festival: the haunted house, the stands, even the play that was supposed to be a traditional dance or something. In the city, the tall buildings were shining with colorful lights, it was probably like that because of the glass. You could also hear the sound of the cars and the music playing.

She looked back at Jin who gave her another smile. Jin walked up to her and guided her to a bench where they could sit.

'How did he…?'

As if he read her thought, Jin said, "This is my secret place. No one knows where this is except me." He informed her again.

Amy looked at him with surprised eyes at why he would take her here.

As if Jin read her thoughts again, he said, "You're my very first friend." He looked at her with thankful eyes. "Thanks for everything, Amy." He smiled at her again, a distant, warm smile.

Amy blinked. 'Why does it feel like he's going away…?' Amy thought with sad eyes, then dismissed the thought and felt like she was just going paranoid.

Suddenly, there was a light explosion from above.

Amy looked up and realized that those were fireworks. She watched every one of them fill the dim sky with colorful lights.

She looked back at Jin who's eyes were focused at the fireworks.

'Thank you… Jin."

END OF FLASHBACK

Amy looked at Jin and Enna who was having a staring contest.

'If only you remember…'

XxXxXxX
