❄ ❛ Hello (not so) stranger .
A chill is sent shivering down his spine.
Feet stopping dead in their tracks as his eyes fall onto something familiar. And he can feel a rush of memories seeping into his mind. Ones that give him an odd feeling of nostalgia.
Images flashing in his mind when he was younger then he is now. Curious eyes and even curiouser mind. Nothing more but an innocent face to the world. But Taemin was never innocent, his life from the very start was different and that was perfectly okay with him and in the end he thrived from it.
However the memories of his adventures keep repeating in his mind. He can remember the feeling of being outside in the streets, loud sirens, music blasting from an apartment a few stories above, different and interesting smells and playing with friends until the sun set. His friends were like a second family to him, but there was always one face in particular that he can remember. A girl. With brunette locks, rosy red lips and even rosier cheeks from the brisk cold air. And he remembers how she had always made him feel happy, no matter what they were doing or how bad a mood he was in she was always there to cheer him up.
Mumbling something to himself, his feet begin to walk on their own accord. Towards the direction of the sudden source of nostalgia because he can't quite believe what he’s seeing. He thinks that lack of sleep is getting to him and he’s hallucinating - or a student is toying with his mind.
He can remember how when he stumbled upon the apartment and his parents gone that he ran and ran and then wound up in hospital being taken to some foster home and then whisked away to live with a new family. He can remember thinking that he needed to see her but events preventing him from doing so - and feeling bad for not even had saying goodbye in the first place. It was a feeling of guilt that had settled in his stomach and stayed there for a while.
And now he can't believe that five years on she’s here. Biting at his lower lip he’s reluctant to call out her name at first in fear it really wasn't her. But it really was, and finally he sucks in a breath of air and lets her name roll of his tongue. “Jung Soojung.”
