"All passengers kindly put your seat belt on. We have arrived in Seoul, South Korea."

Jungkook's heart was thumping loudly against his chest, as he heard the announcement of the pilot. His hands trembled with emotions that he can't point out.

"may you have a great time."

He closed his eyes and let his fall against the wall. "yeah. great time..."

Reaching the airport he doesn't know what he did expect. Did he except for some grand welcome? Nope.  Did he think of his parents coming to him and welcoming him with warm hugs or anything. "as if."  he thought sadly.

He just doesn't know why he even comes here. Well, he knows but he doesn't wanna think about that. Or more of about him. 

He craned his neck to see any familiar face but to his dismay, he find none. He looked at his luggage and clutched the handle of the trolley very tightly. He shouldn't have come here. He should have stayed in America.

His throat starts to feel heavy and his eyes started to burn from unknown pressure. As his mind started to cloud with ugly thoughts.

"why am I so pathetic? Did I think that my coming here will do something good? I am so stupid. Stupid stupid stupid-"

"jungkook?..." 

Jungkook let out a surprised gasp as he snapped his neck up. And his heart started to beat loudly against his chest like before but this time there was something added to it. It was something small but a tingly sensation. It was like something blooming inside him.

He gaped at the man in front of him, who was looking at him with the same surprise, his lips were forming a small "o". He still looks so handsome and young. Nothing had changed besides the length of his hair and the little bit of his height.

His eyes were still the same as they were before. There was nothing but warmness inside him. It's just that those warm eyes never looked at jungkook. They were never warm for him. As if jungkook were not made for that warmness.

It was a saying that the eyes of a person are the window to their soul. But why does it feel that whenever jungkook looked at those eyes he only find the ocean? A clear black ocean. Which doesn't seem to hold anything for jungkook.

As it feels like an eternity before the man broke out of the daze and cleared his throat.

"hello jungkook,"  he said. Oh fuck. When did his voice get this deep? Jungkook closed his mouth as his cheeks warmed because of the embarrassment.

"h-hey Taehyung..." he muttered. It sounded too weak to his own ears, he doesn't wanna know what it sounded to Taehyung.

But it's like Taehyung heard the greetings as they both stayed silent and gazed at each other for some seconds before someone bumped into jungkook from behind causing him to lose his balance and drop his bag on the floor.

"oh my God I am so sorry!" the stranger apologizes and left from the scene. Before jungkook even get down to hold his luggage, he saw taehyung crouching down and taking his luggage, and silently moving towards the exit leaving a very speechless jungkook to trail behind him.
