              "Wake up butthead," A small child screamed.

               I was too stunned to speak... Just what happened to me?. I mean... Why am I here at this time?! Woah... This is very strange indeed... Hmm, maybe I get a second chance to undo everything?! I zoned out that I didn't realize the tiny figure in the room.

               "Hey," He said trying to get my attention, "Look at me!"

               I looked up to see who the small child was but it turns out it was none other than Jungkook..! My childhood friend and my killer!!! Wait, but how am I alive and why is he a child?! Hmm, there must have been a reason why things are this way. For now... I just need to make sure what happened in the past should stay in the past. This is going to be a pain in the butt.

"Kookie," I groggily say, "Go downstairs and wait for me."

               He soon asked, "When did you start calling me Kookie?"

               "Well... You look cute," I started explaining, " And you and I are friends or siblings.? Anyways, you are adorable with those chubby cheeks that remind me of a cookie."

               I got out of bed and saw JungKook near the door and his cheeks were crimson red? Hmm, did he catch a cold? He also seems in discomfort with his eyebrows frowning and his lips twitching?. Wait, why am I so concerned about the big in front of me?! He's going to murder you, Ara! Well... That is when he grows up and right now he's just an 8-year-old boy with cute little chubby cheeks. Wait a minute..? If he's 8 then I must be... A 7-YEAR-OLD CHILD?!! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO ESCAPE NOW?!!

I looked back at the door after a while of thinking and didn't see Jungkook. I guess he must have left? Well, that's good but now I should take a bath. Wow, now that I'm looking back at our old mansion... It feels so familiar and yet not so either. Now that I think about it Jungkook's parents and my parents were best friends, so he used to come over a lot before he started living with us. I also used to go over to his house too. But then there was a tragic accident. Jungkook's parents died in a car crash on their way on an important business trip. Jungkook somehow survived the crash, so my parents took him in. But due to Mr. and Mrs. Jean's death... He became different but it makes sense cause he loved his parents, so he would be depressed. I mean... If I were in his shoes wouldn't I be the same? Although he was quite upset about his parent's death, he changed a lot. He never came out of his room and his room smelt like dried-up blood. Like the smell of dead rats when our cat named Ain catches. Not only that but his expression was dark and gloomy... His eyes were always narrowed down and looked as if he is thinking of killing someone which shortly I found out. Jungkook was obsessed with me because I looked and acted like his mom. I just wanted to help him deal with the pain but didn't expect to get hurt by him. He killed just everyone that "got in the way" and because I didn't love him... He lost it there and with this crazy look that he had; his eyes started to shake, and pulled out a knife to my throat!. I could barely see clearly because of the tears in my eyes, but the pain I felt in my throat told me that this was the end for me..!

               "... I know this is dumb of me," I started to talk to myself, "But, maybe I can make him hate me or have other friends? No, he just lost his parents at a young age, so I can't be mean to him plus he is a killer... *sigh* How did a cute child like him turn into a ruthless murderer?! I should help him make a friend."

               I got out of the bathroom and got dressed into a baby blue dress with white flats with small flowers. I was walking around the hallway to get used to living in my old house, and didn't realize that I was in front of Jungkook's room! Oh no, just as I thought things couldn't get worse...

"Why are you outside of my room," He asked, "Whatever just come in already..."

"Thank you! I wanted to play with you," I said happily to him.

Seriously?!! "I wanted to play with you" what kind of answer is that?! It's so cringy and weird...

"Why are you here now," he continued, "You only talked to me once just because of my parent's death, and never treated me like a friend like before.!"

I stood there shocked and realized he was right... I mean I did talk to him about his parent's death, and kind of avoided him in the beginning. But then he started to get close to me and I just let him be. Soon after, he started to get obsessive! I wonder why.?

He soon asked, "Why are you here now Ara..?"

"Can't I play with my Kookie," I replied?

               Again, he looked flustered just like in the morning. Maybe he just isn't used to compliments? Hmm, did I ever compliment him in the past? Now that I think about it... I ignored him and yet he always chose to be close to me. I was the only person he chose to be next to and I pushed him away.

"Umm," He started to speak, "What do you want to play?"

"Don't you always come to me when you want to play," I asked?

"Because you never play with me and the only time you look at me is when I'm trying to get your attention," He said.

He's right. I guess I did deserve to die by his hands. I was his only friend and I wasn't there for him. I guess I just pitied him instead of loving him. Ohh... Jungkook, I'm so so sorry, but I didn't want you to be a murderer for all the trauma you tolerated till the end.

               "Jungkook... I'm sorry," I uttered in the stillness room, "I should have been there for you instead of... Dismissing you all the time. But please let's get along from now on. We are like siblings now right?"

                I looked up to see Jungkook with his head down. Is he still furious about how I treated him? Then, I noticed him form a small smile. I also slightly grinned and was a little relieved. Then we started to take advantage of the nanny and played a few pranks on her! I knew Jungkook was a mischief child but I never knew he was so troublesome!!! I feel bad for the nanny but not going to lie... It was quite a joy to play with him.

               "Hey, let's go to the garden," He asked?

               "Okay sure," I replied!

               We went out and as we passed many maids, they gave us a wide-eyed gaze and quickly turned around to work. That was odd?..  Never mind that, but wow the fountain is so massive! The flowers out here are so pleasant... I wonder why I never went out? Now that I think about it. What did I do in my last life?. I can't seem to recall anything now?

              "What are you thinking about so much," Jungkook asked?

              "It's nothing. Hehe," I quickly answered back.

              "Then let's go play in my room," Kookie mumbled, "It's too hot out here..."

              "Yeah, I agree," I said.

             We went inside his room and it looks like the sun is setting down. Wow, the bit of sunlight pouring in like a sea and the orange hue showering his balcony looked so peaceful... I feel so drowsy and my eyelids can't keep themselves open.

             "I'm tired," Kookie said while yawning, "Let's take a nap sister."

            "... Sure," I murmured while yawning.

            Today was fun and exciting but now I just want to close my eyes and doze off... For now, I don't want to think about the future... I want to stay in this moment for a while... Just a little more time...
