As Jungkook and Seokjin walk to the cafeteria together, their classmates gawk and whisper. Seokjin doesn't know why, but of course he wouldn't. He doesn't know anything about Jungkook or even himself.

"So, what did I use to help you with?"

Jungkook's lips form a small smile, "Tutoring, but that soon turned into a life coach." He lets out a small laugh.

Seokjin looks at him surprised, "Life coach? How so?" he becomes increasingly curious about their relationship.

Jungkook's eyes become soft, almost loving towards Seokjin as they approach the cafeteria entrance. He doesn't answer Seokjin's question, taking his hand and leading him to the lunch line to get food. Seokjin just goes along with it seeing Jungkook doesn't have any intention but to talk, unlike Namjoon, who Seokjin is still trying to figure out. Those eyes, what he said, 'I honestly hated you and I hate you now.' Hate is strong to Seokjin, he's never heard or felt such strong adverse emotion.

"Here," Jungkook hands him a silver tray already filled with food.

"What about you?" Seokjin see's Jungkook with only a juice box and a bag of chips.

"The food here makes me feel sick," Jungkook gives Seokjin a quick grin before quickly walking to a table in the corner of the cafeteria. Seokjin follows along and sits across from him at the small corner table.

"How do you like it here so far?" Jungkook asks as he opens his chips.

"Wait," Seokjin wants his questions answered first, "How about me before, what was I like? Did you know me well?"

Jungkook hesitates giving Seokjin a look he doesn't understand. Pity or disappointment, Seokjin isn't sure. There's a long silence between them, Seokjin keeping his lips sealed giving Jungkook time to think. But there are thousands of questions Seokjin wants answered.

Jungkook wants to speak his mind, but he isn't sure if Seokjin is ready, how will he react? Jungkook is afraid Seokjin will run away if he tells him how they met, how they became friends. How Jungkook fell so deeply. He can already see that Seokjin isn't the same, he's shy and timid, the Jin he knew when they were alone. A vulnerable Jin.

"Jin," Jungkook lets out a short breath, "I need time, we need time, get to know me once again. I don't want to hurt you, I need you to trust me on this. I know you're lost and confused, but I promise you when the time is right I will tell you everything I know, everything you don't remember."

Seokjin can see the conflict in Jungkook's eyes, he's moved that Jungkook would care so much for a stranger. 'But I'm not a stranger to him,' Seokjin reminds himself.

'Black hair, dark eyes, Jungkook.' Seokjin repeats to himself as he looks over Jungkook's face. He wants to remember him.

"Okay, I understand, Jungkook."
