Groovy Kind of Love -2 ((~Taekook~)
~First Love~
You weren’t mine yet
but every version of “someday”
had your name in it..
The darkroom smelled like photo paper and silence..
Jungkook stood over the developing tray, watching as the image slowly emerged beneath the red glow.. He’d printed dozens of photos before.. landscapes, friends, fleeting shadows , but this one felt different..
It was just a boy.. No face.. Just sunlight, stillness, and something that made Jungkook feel… still.. like he knew him and just found him he can't explain..
Jungkook didn’t know why he’d taken it..Didn’t know why it made his chest feel full and soft at the same time..
He lifted the print carefully from the tray, shook off the water, and let it rest on the drying rack..
Later, back at his desk under the soft hum of a lamp, he cradled the print in both hands, as if holding a fragile memory then placed it inside a empty frame ...
He stared at the picture a little too long, lips curling into a smile he couldn’t hide..Then he giggled quiet and shy and buried his face in his sleeve, like the feeling was too big to hold..
His cheeks were warm, heart a little too loud..Outside, the rain began to fall gentle, steadily like the world was blushing with him..
The next few days between classes, Jungkook wandered near the same place..
Each passing day the late spring air was warm, carrying the faint scent of blooming flowers and freshly cut grass but he wasn't there..
He felt a tiny sting of disappointment everyday ..But whenever he looked at the picture he had taken instantly a smile would tug at his lips, his face would immediately lightened up..
Then One day while wandering around he passed the art building with just the rhythm of his footsteps and the light humming of a song drifting from his lips..
Then, without warning, someone brushed past him and he felt gentle, accidental touch of a shoulder..
Jungkook glanced up just in time to see a boy walking ahead, earphone snug in his ears, a sketchbook tucked under one arm.. His soft brown hair caught the sunlight, strands shifting in the breeze..
he froze..It was him..Just there, a few steps away..And for a heartbeat too long, the world held its breath with him..
Suddenly, the boy pulled out one earphone and turned slightly as a voice called from behind..
Someone
Taehyung! You are not coming to the cafeteria!
He chuckled softly as he answered back, his voice travel in the wind..
Jungkook heard his voice deep, calm, like the ocean and his heart did that tiny, silly skip again..
Jeon Jungkook
🗯️Taehyung..
The name settled quietly in his mind like a secret he wanted to keep..
Jeon Jungkook
🗯️Taehyung... Taehyung... Taehyung ...
He mumbled to himself and smiled and giggled as if butterfly dancing inside his stomach..
Finally after a small celebration inside his heart he went to the cafeteria ..
The cafeteria was buzzing as usual..trays clattering, laughter echoing, the lunchtime rush in full swing..
Someone
Jungkook you look so cute today!
Someone
Jungkook, let me buy your favourite snack!
Jungkook stood near the drinks section, trying to hold his tray while politely dodging questions, snacks, and compliments being tossed at him from all directions..
He was used to this by now well, almost..It still made him feel like a deer in headlights..
Someone
Why don't you sit with us today... you know i..
Jungkook not paying attention looked around searching for one of his friends when his eyes landed on someone..
It was Taehyung..Jungkook almost didn’t realize he’d stopped listening to the girl beside him until her voice trailed off mid-sentence..
Their gaze linger for a brief moment..Then Taehyung turned away continued walking, disappearing behind a column of students with his own tray in hand..
That's when realaziation hit him and Jungkook froze..
Jeon Jungkook
🗯️He definitely saw that?
Embarrassment prickled under his skin.. Taehyung saw him, awkward and crowded, like some clumsy prince in a middle school drama?
Jeon Jungkook
I-I really need to go now, sorry !
Jungkook muttered, ducking his head.. He moved through the girls as gently as he could, slipping past them with quick steps..
