Eun-ji was the girl who lived next door and younger sister of Jungkook's friend. When her older brother went off to college, Yoongi asked Jungkook to look over her.
What he didn't know was she's had a major crush on him for as long as she can rememb...

"Babe, sorry I'm late..." Taehyung says as he hurriedly takes you in his arms, kissing you on your temple.
"Good thing you're not on the entourage or oppa and Akiko will definitely kill you." You say right back, sliding your slender arms over his shoulders while on your tiptoes. Since you're wearing heels, it doesn't take much effort to reach his tall height.
"I've missed you..." He says in a low tone before landing a chaste kiss on your exposed shoulder. You could feel him tense up, as if something's bothering him.
"What's wrong?" You asked because he hasn't been himself lately. Days before the wedding he seemed to have been more clingy and doesn't want to leave your side. "Babe?.." You retract your head back to look at him.
You're met with those kind eyes, the same ones that looked after you and made everything felt better when you were at your worst. Taehyung whom you surprisingly depended on all these years has penetrated your wounded heart and slowly nursed it back to life.
He never hinted on you when you were down. He just made sure to be there for you no matter what. Taehyung who never expected anything in return, kept his feelings deeply buried until that one time when he couldn't keep his feelings a secret much longer.
The first year of your parents' divorce was a total mess. You were in the middle of applying for an exchange student program when social service came in the scene. Luckily, Taehyung's parents who are both Lawyers helped in facilitating your student papers.
The Kims also took you in with your parents' legal consent for about a month before you left for Osaka. That's when you and Taehyung got to know each other on a deeper level. He made you feel safe under his care and helped you through the storm.
At that time, you asked Taehyung and Yoongi to keep details of you away from Jungkook. Needless to say that your request got them both confused since they were clueless to what really transpired between the two of you.
The kiss, the love letter and the pain of Jungkook's rejection were all undisclosed to anyone else. You couldn't talk about it either because it hurts to even think of what happened.
Both Yoongi and Taehyung respected your decision without asking why. So whenever any of them were in contact with Jungkook, neither ever mentioned you. Of course there came a time that it was awkward not to bring you up in conversations especially for Yoongi. He felt weird not telling his best friend of things concerning your welfare so he just made sure to keep it at a minimum.
"I... I'm just tired that's all." He says in a weak tone.
"Hmmm... you've been working too hard." You said sounding worried, gazing on him as you palm his cheek. Taehyung responds so tenderly with leaning his head to feel more of your touch, letting you see how good it makes him feel.
"Is... is he here?" He asked with both eyes piercing through yours in a sad way.
You didn't have to ask who since you both know he was pertaining to Jungkook. "Yeah... he is."
"Did he... have you... talked?" He stammered nervously, showing a vulnerable side of him that you rarely see. Taehyung has always been the bubbly type but when it comes to serious matters, it aways tends to show on his face.
"No... not at all." You reassured him.
"Maybe I finally should..." He says that with a bit of uncertainty, searching your eyes for any clue whether you'd be comfortable of the idea.
"Yeah but not tonight... let's just enjoy the rest of the evening and see how it goes." You suggested, stroking his hair sideways, away from those deep brown eyes.
Taehyung kisses your forehead and the bridge of your nose, not wanting to ruin your perfectly tinted lips. He flashes you his winning boxy smile and transformed back into the bubbly Taehyung you love seeing.
Not realizing how you've been in a tight hug the entire time, you and Taehyung missed noticing that from afar, as you both were locked into each other's arms, completely savoring your own world, a confused Jungkook was witnessing what he wished was just his imagination playing tricks on him.
