*Few years later*
A/N : Hello everyone. It's been a while. I have two reasons why I name this book 'Photograph'. Because of Ed Sheeran's song, it's lyrics are heart touching and lovely. You will get to know the second reason soon! Enjoy reading.
I can't even say to you, to stay here" Jungkook hugged his Hyung.
Jin wipes his little brother's tears saying "Hey, I'm not like your Jimin Hyung, who will promise to come back but won't, I will come back, after my semester ends"
Jungkook node but say "Don't say anything to my Jimin Hyung."
"Of course! Bunny can't hear anything against his Jimin Hyung" Jin chuckle, messing Jungkook's hair.
"Jimin Hyung left me, and now you're also leaving me for Jonnie Hyung right?" Jungkook said, his nose turned red by crying, the truth finally came out from his mouth.
Jin hug Jungkook tightly saying "Jungkook-ah! Baby yeah... I'm going there for Jonnie but, for my studies too. I can't ignore such a rare opportunity like this, otherwise why would I leave my baby brother alone here?"
Jungkook understands his Hyung but he doesn't want him to go, he don't want to separate from his Hyung. He took a deep breath and give his bunny smile, while tears slip from his doe eyes "Fine! Don't be so cheesy Hyung. But you have to promise me that you'll come back after your semester ends"
Jin chuckle, knowing Jungkook understands him, even if he doesn't want his Hyung to leave him alone. "I promise my baby brother. And I might meet your Jimin Hyung there. You want me to tell him something?"
Jungkook knows what Jin is taking about, he was talking about the letters, Jungkook been writing to Jimin.
"You won't tell him anything!" he warned Jin.
SeokJin sign on this, saying " Jungkook-ah....Tell Jimin everything Jungkook.... Tell from him from the start.... He will understand."
"Tell him how it started, tell him why it started. Tell him everything, like Tae doesn't wants to answer him, so you did. Tell him you wanted to talk to him, that's why you wrote those letters to him. Tell him that you wrote those letters, not Taehyung!"
"Tell him it was You not Taehyung! Jimin will understand, baby... he has the rights to know the truth" Jin told him, but Jungkook shake his head.
"He won't Hyung... I know he won't" Jungkook told him.
"He likes Tae Hyung not me! He thinks it's Tae Hyung, not me. He will hate me if I tell him anything" Jungkook told him.
"Koo baby.... It's not true. Just like you know your Jimin Hyung, that's how, in some way, I also known him since childhood. He was the one who saw you first, when you were born. He was the one who was so excited to meet you. He saw you before me. He knows everything about you."
"Even if you sneeze, he knows it before anyone. Since childhood Jimin has taken care of you, how can he hate you? How can he hate his 'Koo'! Tell Jimin everything, he will understand, Trust me!" Seokjin tried to convince Jungkook, who only node.
"I will try" he said.
"That's like my little chipmunk! And listen, don't ignore your studies, cause of your Jimin Hyung. Hyung won't like it, if you ignore your studies." Jin said, finally making Jungkook smile.
"Hyung! When did I ever ignore my studies? Don't worry It won't affect my studies." Jungkook told him.
Hyung Sik came there, seeing his both kids are talking, and hugging each other, he also join them "You both brats, did you forget your Dad Pal? Lemme hug my babies too. We'll make your mom jealous, we'll tell her we are one team now"
SeokJin and Jungkook look at each other, & then their dad saying, "Appa, we are in Mom's team."
Their mom Bo Young giggle, hugging her children's she said "Aww my babies".
Jungkook and SeokJin hug their mom, and Hyung Sik look at them with shocked expression saying, "You two ungrateful brats! Why did I give birth to you?"
"Well technically you didn't give birth to us, mom did!" Jungkook sassed.
"Aish, this little --! Why I have smart kids in my house" Hyung Sik said facepalming himself.
"Because Honey, someone has to be smart, and my both kids are like me, smart!" Bo Young said.
Hyung Sik rolled his eyes chuckling "Ok mam you won! Let's go now, otherwise Seokjin you will miss your flight!"
"No....I can't let that happen. Joonie will beat me!" Seokjin said grabbing his bags.
Seokjin hug his mom and Jungkook, kiss Jungkook's forehead, and then turn to hug his dad. Saying goodbye and promising Jungkook that he will come back as soon as his sem ended, he departed his way to London. He was going there for studies, and for Namjoon too. Seokjin got scholarship, that's why he was moving out.
While coming back home, Jungkook check his phone to find out, he received email from Jimin, Jungkook decided to reply him later, and started to think what Jin told him. He knows Jimin won't understand but was he right? Will Jimin hate him if he didn't tell him the truth? Well only time knows this questions answer.
That Night Jungkook decided to reply.
Dear Tae,
I heard you did well in class again. But I'm mad at you a bit, you didn't reply earlier last Sunday, I thought something happen, but later on Eomma told me that Koo has a competition, and he won the first price. Please tell him congratulation. I miss that bunny so much.
Since last few Sunday I started going to piano class. It was Hoseok Hyung's idea, when I was at our home, and practicing my lessons, I don't know how but, I started to play and sing some tune. I will mail you that tune. Take care of yourself bye.
-Love Jimin.
Jungkook read the mail again and again, he likes how Jimin mention him, and said he do miss Jungkook. How can Jimin ever forget his 'Koo'! and how can Jungkook thought Jimin will not miss his bunny, and forget about him?!
Jungkook sigh, he was trying to avoid Jimin since few days ago, but Jimin kept e-mailing him.
Jungkook somehow was feeling really guilty, he doesn't want to hurt Jimin, but he can't stand how he is been lying to Jimin since he was 8 years old. He is 14 now, very smart and mature than his age.
He knows, this path is taking him somewhere else, from where he can't return now, he was avoiding his feeling for Jimin, and for Jimin... Jimin already knows what his future holds, 'This letter!' and his Jungkook, which he think it's Taehyung.
Here Jungkook wanted to avoid his feelings, because he knows he'll end up getting hurt, and there's Jimin, he knows where this friendship is leading!
Jungkook think for a while and listen the tune. The melody sounds perfect, he couldn't help but smile, as a drop of tear rolled down from his bright shiny eyes to his pinkish cheeks. The melody was smooth, perfect, and it doesn't have anything which can make Jungkook sad, but he knows his Jimin Hyung has pour his love in it. as he couldn't help but tears came out from his doe eye's.
(A/N : Me whenever I listen SeokJin's song!)
After listening the melody, Jungkook decided to reply.
Dear Jiminie
Hi! Sorry I was busy with so many things, that's why I couldn't reply earlier. Jungkook said 'Thank you Hyungie' to you. And he does miss you so much!
Seokjin Hyung left today for London, now he and Joonie Hyung can be together, finally! I was worried what those idiots will do without each other, but see... destiny has it's own plan!
"Destiny does have it's own plan! Let's see what our destiny lead us." Jungkook mumble and started to write again.
I heard the melody, I couldn't help but cry a little knowing you pour your heart in it. It's really nice. Hey why don't we start writing a song about it? Like I will send few lyrics, you send few. In that way, this melody will developed into beautiful song, and we can convey our feelings through this!? What say?
It will be our song!
I have promise SeokJin Hyung that I will not ignore my studies, so got to go. Byee. Miss you so much.
-Love Tae
Jimin read the mail, he smiles knowing Tae (Koo) has response him. Jimin likes Jungkook's idea. "It will be our song!" he mumble, but frown later on, reading the letter again.
"Since when Tae started to care about anyone's feelings? 'I promise Jin Hyung that I will not ignore my studies?' since when he started to care about what Jin hyung told him." Jimin thinks for a while.
"And why does he care about SeokJin Hyung and Joonie Hyung?! Since last few mail's, I have been observing that, Tae does care about Jin Hyung and Joonie Hyung, more than anyone. He was never like this before, In fact he does notice them, but never cared about them, like Koo and I do."
"Doesn't he always used to say, it's Park and Jeon families matter, so he is not interested in this?!?"
"And Joonie Hyung? Don't he say Joon Hyung?" Jimin ask himself so many questions that it makes him dizzy a bit.
"It's always Koo, who cares about Jin Hyung and Joonie Hyung. It was always Koo who said 'Joonie Hyung', not Tae!" Jimin started to realized few things.
"What is up with Tae? Why is he speaking like this, 'Just like Koo used to?'" the 16 year old boy has so many question in his mind. He decided to ask Tae but never dared.
"How will Tae feel if I ask him, why he is talking like Koo? Will he hate me? But... I can't help but think it's Koo..." thinking that Jimin brush of the question for now, but this uneasy feeling never left him, not even when he turned 22!
***
"Hey Minnie...." Namjoon peek inside his brother room to find out, his brother was thinking something hard while his laptop screen was showing Jungkook's letter.
"Oh Kookie... I mean Tae... has email you again. See I told you, he must have been busy that's why he couldn't reply" Namjoon said, biting his tongue.
'Pabo Namjoon' he mumble to himself.
"Koo?" Jimin whisper to himself, thinking Namjoon must have mistakenly said something, but his doubt never leaves his mind.
"I'm Just here to tell you that, Jin is coming here finally!" Joon said, sitting on the bed.
Jimin rolled his chair to face Namjoon and ask "Why did you said it's Koo, at first?"
"Slip of tongue, obviously" Namjoon said being nervous.
"Really? Anyway... doesn't Koo always calls you 'Joonie Hyung', and Tae calls you 'Joon Hyung'. And he never listen to you and Jin Hyung?!" Jimin ask him.
Namjoon shrugged, saying "Yeah. That's true. That brat Tae never listen to us, but koo always do!".
"Yeah Koo does, doesn't he?" Jimin said.
"Why are you asking this?" Namjoon asked him.
Jimin laugh sarcastically saying, "Nothing Hyung. Just wanted to confirm something."
"Tell me, I can help" Joon ask him, being curious. He was afraid did Jimin found out it's 'Koo' or not, because of his clumsiness.
"It's just... Tae's letter sounds so much like Koo... that I... that I think... it's not Tae but Koo...." He mumble the last part, which Joonie can't hear properly.
"Huh? N-not sounding like T-tae? What do you mean?" Namjoon ask stammering.
"I mean yeah... sometimes it doesn't feel Tae is writing me those letters" Jimin told his brother his concern.
"Y-you... You're overthinking it J-jimin. It's been so many years since you left Korea, and things changed, people changed. So it must be that case. Tae must have changed in these years. So s-stop overthinking and forget it" Namjoon try to convince Jimin, who node.
"I'll go. Jin is coming, so I have many things to do" Namjoon said and left.
'Why did he stammer like that? As if he knows something but hiding it away from me' Jimin mumble to himself.
"What Joonie Hyung said does make sense but.... I don't know why, my heart doesn't want to admit it, it feels weird, that something is hidden from me. I'm feeling like this is not Tae but...Koo... My Koo"
"And if it is Koo then, why is he hiding from me? I need to find out this" Jimin told himself and started to reply Jungkook again.
"If it's Koo then he shouldn't have hide it from me? I won't mind emailing him too. But what if it was never Tae? And what if it was always Koo? Since start? What will I do then?" Jimin felt pang in his heart thinking why Koo lied to him, but he doesn't know that Jungkook only wanted to be close with his Hyung. It was pure intention, nothing greedy.
"It will be our song right? Then this song will tell your identity when I will come back!" Jimin firmly told himself and started to type.
(A/N: These few mails will be like text msg for now, so that it will feel like they are having conversation face to face).
Jimin : I like the idea! What do you think we should write first? What it's name should be.
'Please Jungkook, if it is you then tell give me some hint.' Jimin pray to God to get some hint.
Jungkook : Umm... I guess 'Photograph' will sound great. You know, whenever we feel lonely or alone, we can look at our old photos. Memories are always with us but Photographs, they are like the part of our precious memories. Right?
'It's sound so much like him! I want to believe Joonie Hyung but I don't know why this sounds so much like Jungkook.... Memories are like photographs. Only Koo can think of this.' Jimin whisper to himself.
'What is it? Who is telling the truth? My heart doesn't want to believe that it's Tae, but Koo! Why my heart telling me not to trust Joonie Hyung but my intensions. I need to find out this. And for that I need to go to Korea as soon as possible' he promised himself to find out the truth soon, but can Jungkook will ever tell him, why he did that?
Jimin : Photograph sounds great. We can say 'Love can hurt sometimes'.
'Because it does hurt, if you're my soulmate then, you shouldn't lie to me. It's hurting me to think, what I'm thinking can't be true. Why my heart kept telling it's you Koo... and what if it's not you... what will I do then?' A tear slip from his eyes, he wants to find out the truth.
Jimin thought Jungkook doesn't trust him fully, because he would have told him, if it's Jungkook, but he has no idea how much it hurt Jungkook, talking with Jimin as being 'Tae'.
How much it hurt his fragile heart, that he cried so many nights thinking Jimin won't forgive him. And will hate him. But Jimin would never does that... Never will!
Jungkook : woah! So deep! I think we are going to write some sad romantic song.
'Only if you could get that this song contains my feelings for you Hyung.' Jungkook mumble replying.
Jimin : Didn't you said it's our song. So it should be 'Memorable and emotional too'.
Jimin : Loving can hurt sometimes, but it is the only thing makes us feel alive.
Jungkook : we keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for overselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And times forever frozen, still.
"He is really kind hearted, He knows these lyrics will gave him up, when I will find out. These lyrics literally tells, what going on inside his heart, still he writes them. It does feel like only Koo can do this. 'My Koo'' Jimin smile unknowingly knowing what Jungkook has suggested for the song.
Jimin unknowingly wanted this person to turn out to be Jungkook, not Taehyung. His heart kept wishing it's Jungkook, rather than Taehyung. A sweet smile form on Jimin's face, when he thinks about Jungkook.
Jimin : so you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans holding me closer
'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone,
Wait for me to come home.....
Jungkook feel pang inside his heart reading the lyrics 'Wait for me to come home.' For him it was like Jimin was telling him, wait for him to come back to his home, to his Koo!
Jimin : And if you hurt me
That's okay baby, only words bleeds
Inside these pages, you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
Wait for me to come home~
'I will never let you go. If it's Jungkook then I will never give up on you, even if you don't want me."
"Even if whatever the world will say, even if it's Jungkook, I will choose him, I want to trust Namjoon Hyung but.... My heart is giving only one name and it's you Jungkook."
"Shit! Why it kept getting so confused? Why I'm rooting for Jungkook, when I like Taehyung from the start... do I really like Tae or it is just a flow...."
"What I felt for Jungkook is.... Is something that I can't pretend and even express with words. I feel happy just seeing him happy. I feel loved when he looks at me and give his bunny smile, I feel like this smile will always be reserve for me only."
"Whenever we are together, I feel like I have everything, I feel like my world is with me. I feel so happy that I even forget about Tae. Jungkook is the only one person can make me laugh and cry too. Whenever I feel going away from him, I feel pang inside my heart, and whenever I get close to him, I feel butterflies in my stomach."
'I need to find out what is happening to me... and why I'm hoping it will be Jungkook. Koo baby if it's you, then I never intended to hurt you ever!' Jimin does understand Jungkook, and he knows his Jungkook is hurting himself by doing this.
"If it's him then... I have to tell this idiot that he is hurting himself and me. I don't trust others, I will go with my heart when we'll meet each other. And if it's really you Koo then, I have to make you realize that what we really are mean to/for each other." Jimin mumble to himself thinking about Jungkook.
Here Jungkook also feel like Jimin is telling him, that even if he hurt him, Jimin won't let him go.
End of the Chapter.
Author Note : Like I said this book is inspire from Bollywood movie, but I thought changing few things and adding some twist will make this book more lovable, and I wasn't satisfied with the original storyline so I changed it to, for putting my touch in it. Hope everyone like it.
I was literally singing "Jane dil main kab se hai tu~" since I started writing this chapter.
Song credit goes to Ed Sheeran!
