it has been two weeks since lai last saw jungkook. jungkook hadn't bothered to call or even text lai and this caused lai to overthink. yes, she barely knew him and vise versa but she couldn't help it. she wondered to herself if she came off too strong or not strong enough. maybe her make-up looked ugly and she shouldn't have had her hair out that day. maybe he had a girlfriend and couldn't even call her. no, he would've told her that. or maybe she was just straight-up ugly and he wanted nothing to do with her. whatever the case was, it couldn't help but linger in lai's mind.
currently, lai was over at tyannas house so they can hang out together. both of the girls loved their alone time but they wouldn't mind having some company once in a while. the two were sitting on the couch scrolling endlessly on their phones. to avoid silence, they let the projector run in the background, letting auto-play decide what videos the girls should have in the background. lai was doing her best to get jungkook out of her mind. she felt stupid. she didn't know why she was so hungover on some guy she didn't even know.
so, to distract herself, she decided to sign up for some stupid-ass dating app. lai truly had no interest in any of the boys who were messaging her, so she didn't really know what she was doing by being on the app. did she think it was gonna work? maybe but that's not the point.
tyanna was scrolling on twitter. tyanna rarely goes on twitter but when she does she makes sure to check everything out. she decided to see what's trending, hoping it would be one of her favorite celebrities so she can show them off. but it wasn't one of her favorite celebrities. the whole trending page seemed unfamiliar except for one title. the title reading "#BLONDE JUNGKOOK," with the following description, "BTS fans are wondering whether jungkook has dyed his hair after a photo of him with blond locks appeared online" tyanna looks up, confused with what she just read. she looks over at lai, the girl has no clue.
"lai," tyanna says. lai responds with nothing but a quick "mmm." "when was the last time you were on twitter?" "i don't know, maybe a couple of days ago, why?" lai asks, looking up from her phone. "because your so-called 'mystery boy' is trending worldwide right now." tyanna responds, showing lai her phone in a "matter of fact" tone. and she was right, the infamous jungkook was trending.

lai actually couldn't believe her eyes. was this the reason he never called? lai seems stuck, not being able to stop staring at the screen until tyannas phone dims, getting ready to shut off. it's not until then that lai looks up, blinking at tyanna. "what the fuck." is all lai can say. tyanna does nothing but folds in her lips and nods, going back onto her phone. lai doesn't stop looking at her, "what are you doing?" lai asks. "we're putting bts on." tyanna says. lai seems speechless, the only questions she has to ask are obvious ones.
once tyanna connects her phone to the projector, she begins to scroll through the videos youtube has given for the search of "bts." tyanna scrolls for a while. "do you think he's an... idol?" lai asks while her eyes never leave the screen. tyanna doesn't even bother to answer her. "play that one t." lai says. it's a performance from 3 years ago. the title reading "BTS - Airplane pt.2 @BTS COMEBACK SHOW"
tyanna plays the video and the girls are immediately welcomed by no other than jungkook. instead of his new blond hair, he has somewhat medium black hair that's been parted in the middle and pushed to the sides a bit. he's wearing dark green pants that only look dark green in the light to go along with a black and white striped jacket with an interesting designed white and black shirt.
"is that him?" tyanna asks, pointing at jungkook in the beginning. lai nods her head, not taking her eyes off him. "he's cute." tyanna says, watching as another member comes onto the screen. "why do you think he hasn't called?" lai asks, looking at tyanna with a concerned look. "i'm not sure lai, this was 3 years ago." lai looks back at the screen and then checks her phone, it's 2 am. "i gotta go t i got work in the morning." tyanna nods and gets up, walking lai to the door. she opens it and lai walks out the door, making her way to her apartment.
lai walks in and heads straight towards the shower, even if she didn't do anything she still feels like she needs to shower. lai turns the shower on and lets the warm water run, as she waits she decides to find jungkook on some type of social media. first was twitter, nothing. next was snapchat. lai didn't have much hope in snapchat but it was worth a try. going to her last hope, instagram. lai tapped the search icon and began to type "jungkook" and the first result was "jungkook_bighitentertainment" lai luckily decides to not follow the account and begins to scroll down his page. she sees multiple photos of him. his most recent being a selfie with that familiar blond hair. in the photo, he's puckering his lips out with his two teeth barely showing. he's wearing a white t-shirt with a black puffer jacket. his photo has the following caption "😙" cute... lai decides to scroll down his instagram account some more, she sees a couple of different posts. one more post with his blond hair, one him with black hair, and one with him and some guy. jungkook tagged the guy lai taps the photo to see who it is... it's only right. the username reads "taehyung_bighitentertainment" of course lai decides to stalk this one too. she presses on a photo of him and he's in what looks like a restaurant. he's wearing a grey hoodie with a pair of sunglasses and his hair is brown and long. lai sends the account to tyanna with the following message "girl he's your type." after sending the message lai scrolls down his account a little more.
after seeing some posts of this taehyung guy lai finally gets into the shower, beginning her night routine for the busy day ahead of her.
