Memory - A Taekook Story ✅

V: Jungkook

I bit my lip as I was lying on my bed. Tears were streaming down my face as I remembered what Taehyung asked me at school today.

JK, why don't you like me?

I wish I could've told him. I wish I could just open my mouth and talk. But I can't. I don't wanna pressure him. I want him to remember me when he can.

Ring ring. Ring ring.

I looked at my phone and my eyes widened at the sight.

Taehyung was calling me. Through... Snapchat?

Wait, does he still have my... oh no, I thought to myself.

But I couldn't leave the phone ringing forever. So I picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hey JK."

My heart skipped a beat. I replied, "Why'd you call? And how'd you get my Snap?" I guess I was trying to play dumb, which usually works super well with him.

But then he blurted out, "Jungkook, I know who you are to me. You're my boyfriend. I forgot you after the accident but bits and pieces of our moments together would pop into my head ever since I saw you crying at our lockers with Jimin. Then I made my mom tell me everything. After that, I figured out that Jimin was one of your friends for years now, but always tried to cover it up when I was around so as not to cause suspicion. But now I know. Now I remember. Everything. I remember our walk on the beach. I remember surprising you for your birthday. I remember it all."

My eyes filled with happy tears as my heart pounded with excitement.

He remembers. He remembers me.

But then I blinked.

What if someone told him about me? What if he's just repeating what they said?

But what if he truly remembers me?

With some hope in my voice, I said, "If you remember, tell me something that only Taehyung would know. Something he hasn't told anyone."

It became quiet for a few seconds.

He slowly replied, "We snuck out of your house late at night to sit in your backyard, just to see the stars. I pulled you closer to me and wrapped my arms around you. And then you slept on me. I was leaning against the tree for support as I carried you back inside, trying not to wake anyone up.

"Instead, you woke up. Just before I put you down. You blushed so much you looked like a tomato with hair and a face. That's what I told you, right? Then I put you down on your bed, and we talked until two in the morning.

"I quickly left to go to my sleeping bag in the living room, but you stopped me. You told me to move to your bedroom. And I did. I grabbed my stuff and came upstairs.

"We woke up at eight in the morning, and we talked until ten. Once your mom came upstairs to check up on us, she just thought that I came upstairs early just to talk to you. Does that sound familiar to you?"

I let tears roll down my eyes and I smiled in happiness.

He truly does remember.
