The Boy I Never Met
episode 1
Me and my family moved to a new house. As I was digging through the basement, I found this box with videos in the corner, the old owner must've forgotten it. I put the first video in the stack inside of my loptop, curious of what was on it. What I saw shocked me. I paused it quickly, getting my earbuds. Then returned to play the video.

jungkook's second log
||• I started my first day at my new school. The students are nice, but it cannot compare to my old one, yeah.....but I'll get used to it slowly..
episode 2
Soon I started to watch all the logs.It was fun watching him talk to his friends, smiling and laughing.
they were all I looked at for 2 weeks straight. I felt like I had a connection to him in some way.
I wanted to return them. They seemed important to him
so i searched his name online....
after some searching, I found an Instagram account
*just assume that its jk's acc*
strange, the account was inactive for sometime...I texted the owner expecting no response, but got one shortly after...
taehyung
hello, I found some old videos in the home I moved onto. I suppose you might want them back
jimin (on jk's acc)
hi, i think i know the videos your talking about. But im not jungkook
taehyung
oh! may I ask who you are, and where is he? is there a place we could meet, so I can return them?
jimin (on jk's acc)
I'm his friend, jimin and unfortunately jungkook is no longer with us. I manage his account. But I'm not doing a very good job at it..
taehyung
may I ask how he passed away?, if that isn't too much for a stranger like me to know...
jimin (on jk's acc)
not at all, I mean you seem to care a lot about him. I wouldn't hurt to tell... He died from a liver disease two years ago in 2015...
My heart instantly dropped reading the text message Jimin sent me.... So I started to look through the videos again.
episode 3 ( For him )
after reading Jimin's text my heart felt so sad. so I started to look through the videos again.
to see whether he showed any signs of a liver disease. I found a shoebox in my bedroom closet. I never noticed it before.
I saw more videos in it. I played the first one. This one was called " Last Day With Jimin And his friends"..he talked about how much he's going to miss Jimin..
they spent their last days together, before he moved here..I think Jimin and jungkook were really close friends. "First da of school" was the title of the next one.
he looked so shy, he was so cute. in his other videos he looked very warm, and cool.. he said that he joined a dance crew called BTS.
He was so funny. I laughed at this one. he was so embarrased, because his mother kept following around saying how proud she was.
next one was "first trip out of the country". he documented his trip to Beijing for a dance contest. he was having the time of his life , there he won the contest, something he said he'll treasure
there were also bunch of videos named "jk's dance practices" numbered with dates. jungkook danced so passionately.
it showed that he's a hard worker, maybe he knew that dancing wasn't good for his body. but it didn't stop him. I finally got the last one.....I played it
jungkook
||•hi! its September 1st 2015, also my birthday and the day you found this so....uh, I have something to say. I don't know how to say it. if you've seen my videos, which you have, you could tell they mean a lot to me.You know that too right? but seriously, I made those videos for future me. but future me won't see them, because I won't be here. but that's ok,because I cherish them now. point is.....enjoy life, make the best out of it. just do it, because something may happen and if you haven't lived, so....do yourself a favour and live without regrets, people around you and......for me. Thanks to the person I never met. That's all.... end.•||
I stared at the screen, not knowing what to do. Jungkook wanted me, a complete stranger, to carry on what he did. To cherish my life. I never felt that I had a purpose in life. But jungkook's wish became my purpose all of a sudden. To enjoy life and be happy. I picked up my camera without a thought and pressed 'record'.
taehyung
||•hi! im Kim Taehyung. so I found these videos belonging to a guy.....He passed away. it was only a coincidence that I found his videos....uh,but now its my responsibility to continue to make these videos, and I'm willing. Although my life isn't really interesting.....um, for this guy I'll pick up some hobbies he would want me to. I will enjoy life for...him.... for the boy I never met•||
