"lets go, cel." jin gently pulled on my arm as he led me to the exit, diverting my eyes away from my ex, "where do you wanna go?" he asked, taking a spoonful of his ice cream.

"lets go to the park?" i suggested, having some of my dessert as well.

"sur- wait, what?" he stopped walking and looked at me with a look on his face, "you refused to go to that park since—"

"since we broke up, i know. but i've already moved on, so i should stop weeping and brush off my worries and hindrances from doing what i want. okay?" i cut him off and continued walking, heading to the park.

the park that held so much memories. our first kiss, our first month celebration, and lastly, this park is where he confessed all.

"okay, no need to use deep words that i don't understand, jeez." he rolled his eyes, "just kidding, i'm smarter than you." then laughed, asshole.

"ugh, lets just go to the playground." i lightly pushed him forward till we got to the swings. we both took a seat and started finishing our desserts, because definitely after this will be a swinging competition we once always had.

once we finished, i started to swing, until he stopped me.

"what? i thought we were having a swinging contest." i pouted, along with a confused expression on my face.

"yea but first, tell me why you didn't order your usual earlier?" jin asked with a serious face. i've been dreading this moment.

"i just— i didn't want him to think that i haven't changed since we parted, you know? also, i wanted to embarrass him so, why not?" i sighed, "plus, i've been dying to try chocolate with brownies but it keeps getting off my mind so, earlier was the opportunity as well." i grinned at him.

"alright, but you still haven't told me why you didn't want to go here." he reminded.

i didn't want to tell him because he will just laugh at me, i think. also because, i wanted to keep the memories yoongi and i shared here to myself.

"well, uh, yoongi and i used to go here often." i pursed my lips and looked down.

"then—"

"hey, uh, bro i think you left this at the ice cream parlour." a voice cut him off.

"oh yeah, i didn't even realize that i've lost it. thanks, man!" jin shook the persons hand.

"no problem, mind if i chill here for a while? i'm waiting for someone." he asked.

"no, i won't mind. i'm sure cel wouldn't mind as well, right cel?" jin nudged me.

i straightened my posture to look at the guy. he seems familiar. wait. oh my goodness. really?! two faces i never want to see again really have to appear today?! the actual fu-

"cel? celestine?" taehyung recognized me.

"what? no, i am, um, cello." okay i have to admit, i'm pretty dumb.

"cello? what the fuck!" then there goes jin, laughing his face off, eyes immediately welling up with tears.

"cello? i don't think s—"

"cello! HAHAHAHA WHAT THE FUCK?!" jin cut taehyung off, slapping his knee, unable to restrain himself from laughing any harder.

"jin stop it!" i pulled him up as he almost fell from the swing, "aish, do you want me to spell it for you so that you'd understand?!" i was getting frustrated with this little boy.

"s-t-o-p," he paused to laugh some more,
"I-T!" he yelled, finally falling on the grass, then lightly punching the dirt while still laughing.

"sorry about that." i sighed, then turned to taehyung.

"uh, its okay, celestine." he took jin's seat beside me, "so how have you been? you haven't changed a bit." he smiled.

"i've been,uh, okay? and alright. yea, i've been good." i smiled back, "and you? i heard you flew out to america with yoongi and hoseok for good?" i couldnt help but ask.

"i'm great. and yea, we just got back here about a week ago along with our stuff. we actually just moved in not that far from here," he paused, "we had problems back in LA and realized its better here. so after we got through that trouble, we immediately flew back." he explained.

"oh, so you're not planning on going back there?" i asked, he nodded, "how about your house there?" i asked yet another question.

"we sold it to our american friend in need of a house for a cheap price. he bought it last month, but we had to live with him for a while till we sort out documents, papers and stuff." he expounded.

"oh, okay. sorry for asking a lot." i sheepishly looked down, a bit embarrassed.

"no it's okay, i didn't mind." he reassured as he used his finger to tilt my chin up.

"hey, v!" i hear an obnoxious voice yell out. what is it with everyone yelling today?!

i didn't even notice a now calm jin sit on the swing on my other side.

i shifted my attention from taehyung to where the voice came from. i then saw a guy running towards us, taehyung immediately stood up, scowling at the person.

"what took you so long, jhope?" he asked the guy, then flicked his forehead. wait, jhope? v? what in tarnation?!

"i help an old lady cross the road, but another old lady stopped us before crossing and we had to wait for her because she wanted help in crossing the road as well. she walked so slow though, so we waited for her till we can finally cross the street." jhope explained in one breath.

he honestly looked like hoseok. but why did he call taehyung 'v'? wait, he's hoseok! but why did taehyu-

"nice story. while waiting for you i met cel and another guy who used to go to our school but i don't know his name." tae introduced us, well, kinda.

"its jin." jin clarified.

"oh, hi. celestine?! its hoseok, hi!" so he is hobi! he seems excited to see me, though, weird, "has she already met yoongi, v?" he asked tae.

"i don't know. have you, cel?" taehyung turned to me.

"so hobi, how have you been?! also, why 'jhope' and 'v'?" i tried to change the topic.

"i've been great, cel! those are our nicknames in LA, however, yoongi still goes by suga. that boy never changed. have you met him already~" jhope asked yet again.

i sighed, expecting the teasing coming from them after i say—

"yes." except that didn't come from me.

we all turned our heads to where the voice came from. aigoo~ him again?!

"ey, suga! so you've met cel already? how'd it go?" hobi seemed to be the only one comfortable in this situation.

while everybody looked like they wanted to leave. and yes, including me obviously.
