Forever Admirer {A Taekook Story}

Chapter - 1

Jungkook's POV

"Go Taehyung! Go! Go!" I cheered for Taehyung completely screaming and praying that we will win this basketball game. Our school currently is leading 6 points and Taehyung just need to stop the opposite team from scoring.

I bought 2 cold water and a small towel with me. I always stand by for him in every game.

Kim Taehyung is the star of our school. He's the most popular guy and everyone loves him. Guys wanna be his boyfriends and girls wanna be his girlfriends. Almost all the guys are in love with him and they all have different methods in expressing it. Yes, I'm one of them. I support him by cheering for him and giving him water along with towel at every game. If he's sick, I'm ready to get him medicine and cook him porridge so he will feel better. If he doesn't bring a book in class, I'll give it to him even though I have to face detention.

That's how I tried to get him notice me. Other boys have different methods like wearing sexy clothes, beautiful make up, flirting and some of the are offering their body but Taehyung is not interested in them.

"Ahhhh!" Jimin, my bestfriend screamed. I turned to see the game has ended and I can't help but scream with him.

"They won!" We jumped up and down. We hugged each other and we're just.. out of this world. I saw Taehyung hugging all of his teammates and people congratulated him for being the team ace.

He walked towards his bench and I quickly walked towards him. I put the water and the towel in front of him.

"For you, great game." I smiled and he took the water drinking it fast.

"Congratulations.." I said and he shrugged. Taehyung always ignored me and it's nothing new for me. I walked away towards the bleachers as he celebrated again.

"Let's go!" Jimin said.

"No, let me see him first." I said without taking my eyes off him.

"We're finished, Kook." Jimin said in an annoyed tone.

"Let me buy him some energy drinks and food. Wait here okay?" I said without waiting for his answer. I ran out from the basketball court to the cafeteria. I looked at the fridge and grabbed his favourite strawberry drink and a sandwich. I ran back and found some of his friends already walking back towards the classroom.

I waited for him and when I saw him, I quickly ran and stopped in front of him. I put the drink and sandwich in front of him. His friends teased him and he looked at me annoyed.

"Dude, take it." Namjoon, his bestfriend, said laughing.

"I don't need it."

"Don't be harsh, Tae." Jin said.

"Here, take it." I said waiting for him to take it. He took it and threw it to the ground. The drink spilled and the sandwich box slightly opened. I looked at the ground completely speechless and he walked past me.

"You're being rude." Namjoon hissed.

"I don't like boys like him." Taehyung said it loud and clear. I sighed and cleaned up the mess.

"What the fre-" Jimin hissed and I squatted down.

"Hmm?" I cried. Yes, I cried. This is not the first time him rejecting my gifts but it always hurts me. Jimin looked at me sadly.

He always reminded me how a piece of jerk Taehyung is but I never listened. He said someone like Taehyung doesn't deserve my time, let alone my love. I always wanted to move on from him but I can't.

"You're and idiot! Stop doing this stupid shit! Whatever you have for him is.. making you hurt. You already done enough, Kook. You deserve so much better." Jimin helped me and I know he's right.

"Stop liking him, you always get hurt. In the end of the day, you're nothing to him." Jimin said and he said it a thousand times already. Jimin hugged me and I sighed.

"You need to move on, find someone who is better than him." Easy for him to say. He has half of the basketball team crushing on him but too bad he hates all of them.

"I can't. I don't think I can."

"Look, let's get out from his place first." He said as he helped me to stand up. He led me to the garden at the back of the school and sat on the bench.

"Stop liking him. I mean it! For real!" He said pointing his index finger straight to my face.

"I can't. You know I can't. I've tried many times.." I said as I looked up to the sky completely frustrated.

"He hurts you.. a lot."

"I know."

"Then why? Until when will you act like this?"

I don't know, maybe until I'm.. sick of it." I said as I turned to him. He sighed and looked up to the sky.

"You're too good for anyone, but Taehyung doesn't deserve you at all."

"I know, but a part of me still believe that one day he will notice me." I said and I hope one day he will.

"I hate him, I really do." Jimin hissed and I chuckled.

"One day I'll get sick of him and maybe one day, I'll go back to Daegu."

"Let's go back to Daegu soon." He suggested and I smiled.

Jimin and I have known each other since we were babies. Our mothers are bestfriends. I was born and raised in Daegu but why am I in Seoul? It's because my brother has a business here and I want to have new experience instead of staying in Daegu.

My brother is 6 years older than me and he hates that idea of me following him at first but then he admitted that it's less lonely that's why I'm in Seoul with him. I have an older brother too and he's 2 years older than me. My parents and my brother are all in Daegu so I rarely talk to them.

"Let me ask you something.." Jimin said as I turned to him curiously.

"What is it?"

"I never asked you this but.. do you like him.. as in admiring him or.. you like like him? Like you want to be his boyfriend?"

"I don't know." I'm being honest here. I admire him, really, like really admire him. He's a really good basketball player, he's cute and not to mention he's academicely excellent. I like him for being so perfect but do I want him as my boyfriend? I don't know. I might want it but I don't know.

"Well.. I'm surprised that you don't know about yourself."

"What do you mean?"

"Cause it's clear that you're in love with him. You told me at first that you're only admiring him but look at you, you cried when he rejected your drink and sandwich. You love him and he's too blind realize it. He hurt you countless times and you just forgave him like it's nothing."

"Love? I'm in love with him?" Am I that dumb? I know love is such a beautiful thing and I don't even know how to identify it.

"You're even too clueless to realize your own feelings. You're in love with the wrong person to be exact." He added and I let out a deep sigh. My phone rang and I took it out from my pocket answering it without looking at the caller ID.

"Hello my Kookie.." I smiled hearing my hyung's voice.

"I miss you." I squealed.

"Really? You miss me? I'm going to Seoul in 5 days." He said and I turned to Jimin putting it on loud speaker.

"Are you for real?" I asked.

"Yes! Let me send you the ticket.." He said and I screamed in excitement.

"Hey hey don't scream.." He said chuckling.

"I miss you, Hoseok hyung!" I said.

"Tell Jae-joon for me, he's not picking up his phone. See you in 5 days, Kookie." He said and then ended the call.

"Can't wait having Hoseok hyung here.. he's legit a ray of sunshine!" Jimin said and I couldn't agree more.

"It will be fun!" With that I forgot about Taehyung.
