Do You Still Like Me?
(chapter -¹) The start of it all
Jungkook (14)
Oh, hey Tae!
Taehyung (15)
Jungkook.... I... I like you!
Jungkook looked around him, all the students including his friends were looking at him weirdly on the playground
Jungkook (14)
What kind of like dude?
Jungkook (14)
Is it the kind were u want to hold my hand and kiss me??
Taehyung (15)
Yes.. I want to
Jungkook could already hear students cursing behind him, he was never attracted towards boys, and he won't let this boy ruin his reputation as the captain
Jungkook (14)
Come on dude! I didn't know you were like this..or I won't have talked to you
Jungkook (14)
U want to kiss another boy!? I'm not going out with a boy
Jungkook saw tears started flowing from Taehyung's face, and he immediately looked elsewhere
Taehyung (15)
I...I thought y-you were different....
Jungkook (14)
Why are you still here? I don't want to talk to you.
Taehyung (15)
C-can't we at least stay friends?
Jungkook (14)
Huh? We can't ever be friends after you just ruined it right? Just go now.
Taehyung (15)
O-okie...I.. I'll never disturb you again... Bye Jungkook...
Jungkook (14)
(rolled his eyes and went back to his game)
But from the corner of his eyes he could see Taehyung going away while continuously rubbing away his tears
Namjoon(21)
Jungkook! Are you alright??
Jungkook opened his eyes and sat on the bed for sometime
This is the first time he dreamt about that guy...but why after 4 years?? Is it because he feels guilty suddenly because of what happened yesterday?
Jungkook (18)
Ya... I'm alright hyung, it was... just a bad dream
Namjoon(21)
You made me scared, u suddenly grabbed me so hard
Namjoon(21)
What were you dreaming about?
Jungkook (18)
I don't know let's sleep
Jungkook lied back beside Namjoon, his elder brother who still looked worried
Namjoon(21)
Are you troubled for what our parents said?
Jungkook (18)
No hyung, don't overthink, it's okay
Jungkook (18)
After all you did for me, this was the least I could do
Namjoon(21)
Don't talk like an elder now, I've yet to do a thousand things for you
Namjoon(21)
I... couldn't tell you this earlier... I never thought u would understand, but I'm so happy you do
Jungkook (18)
*I'm not that good of a person hyung, you are…*
With that they both went to sleep

Uk making the cover then selecting profile pictures for the characters are more time-consuming for me than actually writing a story lol
(chapter -²) Kim Taehyung
18 years old Jungkook was returning home after classes but when he almost reached for the door he heard his parents shouting inside
Jungkook (18)
What is going on mom?
Jungkook saw his mother crying silently while his dad loosing temper and his elder brother was looking elsewhere
His brother Namjoon is like the perfect son, obedient, talented, a good brother just a little clumsy
Jungkook never imagined this situation where his brother would be getting scolded for something, and though he had small fights with his brother now & then, but he couldn't handle this
Jungkook's mom
Son, go to your room
Jungkook's dad
why would he!? He needs to know this too
Jungkook (18)
Will u tell me what happened?? Hyung?
After controlling herself she told Jungkook
Jungkook's mom
Your brother wants us to meet... his... boyfriend
Never in his lifetime could Jungkook guess that his brother liked boys... It makes sense to him now why he never accepted any girl even when he had so many options
Jungkook watched as his father sat on the sofa grabbing his head and his mother following after
Jungkook's dad
I... I had so much planned for you son... U are our first child... I don't know now what to do...
Jungkook's mom
Joon, you're still young son, we'll search for the best girl for you-
Jungkook saw tears coming out of his brother's eyes, for the first time in his life
Namjoon(21)
I can't mom! I told u about it before
Jungkook's mom
But... I thought you were just joking...
Namjoon(21)
I'm sorry mom, dad... I couldn't be the good son you thought I was-
Jungkook (18)
Wait! Just wait for a second hyung
Jungkook (18)
What in the world are you all talking about?
Jungkook (18)
Listen, I understood everything
Jungkook (18)
But hyung you are not a bad son or a bad brother
Jungkook (18)
You are the best
Namjoon looked both shocked & touched
Then Jungkook turned to his parents
Jungkook (18)
Dad... Hyung had never let you down once, had he changed just because he likes boys?
Jungkook (18)
Mom, we love hyung, can't we be happy with whatever he's happy with? Don't you want to see him happy?
Jungkook's mom
I do son, I do..
Jungkook's dad
But we dreamt of his son to look after his company after him….
Jungkook (18)
Just for that? Well I can do that for you, can't I?
Jungkook's dad
Of course, you can
Finally his father smiled, and his mother got more emotional and got up to hug Namjoon
Jungkook's mom
I'm sorry son, we can meet him tomorrow
Jungkook just saw as his brother hugged their mother and cried a little more
Jungkook (18)
Hyung, u lost the opportunity to get married to a good, rich girl😁
Namjoon(21)
U must be glad
As Jungkook was lying on his bed, he suddenly remembered an incident from four years ago, and that one name
Jungkook (18)
*Kim Taehyung*
Jungkook (18)
*he also didn't do anything wrong confessing his feelings to me, he was the brave one*
Jungkook (18)
*I insulted him so bad back then... I hope he's not holding anything against me & living life somewhere good with good people, not like me*
Jungkook (18)
*he was the only boy who ever confessed to me, maybe that's why I still remember him so well*
Jungkook drifted off to sleep thinking about that moment as if revisiting it
that's when he had that dream for the first time

(chapter -³)The guilt
Taehyung (15)
I... I like you Jungkook
Jungkook (18)
Don't disgust me! I don't like boys
Taehyung (15)
B-but I thought u do ...
In the crowded canteen everyone could hear them clearly which annoyed Jungkook more, he wasn't enjoying this unwanted attention
Also when a boy was confessing
Jungkook (18)
even if you were a girl I won't have chosen you, you're not even good-looking
Jungkook saw tears pouring out of his eyes and crying
Jungkook (18)
Please just get lost, will you?
Jungkook (18)
Wait I never said that!!
Jungkook opened his eyes and sat up on bed in a jolt panting and looking like he could cry
Namjoon(21)
Jungkook are you alright?? Here have some water
Namjoon handed Jungkook the bottle of water from the table beside their bed and Jungkook drank it half in one breath
Namjoon(21)
Jungkook it's already been three months that you are having some kind of nightmare I don't know about
Jungkook handed Namjoon back the bottle and sat holding his head in his hands after seeing the time on the clock
Namjoon(21)
Almost every night around this time you are having nightmare, and you are shouting in your sleep like "No! Don't go", "I never said that", all these
Namjoon(21)
I want to help, but you won't tell me what it's about, and you won't even let me tell our parents
Namjoon(21)
I'm just so worried about you
Jungkook (18)
There was this boy...
Namjoon looked surprised still glad finally Jungkook was telling him this
Jungkook (18)
it was in middle school time… 4yrs ago to be exact… A boy confessed to me, in the playground in front of everyone present there...
Namjoon(21)
(was silent and just listening to Jungkook looking at him)
Jungkook (18)
I was so narrow-minded hyung…. I.. I not only rejected him but also insulted him in front of everyone…. Just.. To save my face
Jungkook (18)
My friends... I don't even want to call them that, but they had this effect on me. Actually it was more my fault.
Jungkook (18)
I was a homophobic…. Hyung.. From the day I stood up for you, he's been coming in my dreams and the same situation repeats sometimes in the playground, or canteen or just a classroom
Jungkook (18)
I just can't shake away the guilt... I have never behaved that way to anyone in my whole life... All he did was gather the courage and confessed
Jungkook (18)
I want to apologize to him... Just once, even if he doesn't forgive me... Maybe then I can forgive myself... hyung..
Namjoon just turned Jungkook towards him and slowly hugged him. Jungkook broke down.
Jungkook (18)
But I don't know where he is…
Jungkook (18)
I never saw him after that day, but I'm *sniff* pretty sure I won't have talked to him, even if he came
Namjoon(21)
it's okay Kook, you were too young, it happens
Namjoon(21)
let's try not to think about it
Namjoon(21)
okay I won't tell anyone now let's go back to sleep
