His name is Jeon Jungkook, but he goes by Jungkook with his friends. He had a lot of friends before he had to move to Seoul from Busan. His best friend that he would miss most of all was Kim Jeong, they spent almost every day together and they had the same class in school, but now that his parents have discovered that their son can sing, they've decided to send him to Seoul for high school to become an upcoming artist.

Jungkook's parents walked him up to the train station for his 3 hour train ride to Seoul. He was in tears, he didn't want to leave all of his memories he had made in Busan. Every christmas Eve he and his family would go to Kim Jeong's house for a party, and the next morning he would go home open presents and in the evening, sit around the campfire and share their favorite part about the day. Every birthday he would receive a party with his favorite type of cake, marble. He would invite 3 friends, including the girl he liked, which he would never see again. He tried not to think about all the memories but they kept popping up in his head no matter how hard he tried. He hugged his parents for the last time, but before he stepped through the ticket machine, he heard "Jungkoooook!"

Jungkook turned his head around, tears flying off his face, Kim Jeong was running up to him with a bag. "Jeong.." Jungkook whispered to himself in disbelief. "I can't believe you came." Jungkook said when Kim Jeong finally arrived. "What is this?" Jungkook said while wiping his tears away, he didn't want Kim Jeong to see him cry. "Don't open it until you're in Seoul, okay?" Kim Jeong said. "But, why? Why can't I open it now?" Jungkook said. "Just don't ;P" he replied. "I'll see you soon, don't worry, this isn't goodbye. It'll never be goodbye." Kim Jeong said to Jungkook looking him straight in the eyes. Jungkook could feel the tears coming because he knew it would be goodbye, he knew he would never see him again because he would never have the money to buy a ticket home. Tears fell down his cheeks, and through his blurry, wet vision, he could see Kim Jeong's eyes start to water. He couldn't take it. He had never seen Kim Jeong cry. He hugged him goodbye and walked onto the train, never to return to Busan.

He put his luggage on the upper hand compartment, and sat in his seat. He plugged in his headphones and started listening to EXO, XOXO, the album. He turned his music up all the way to try to block out the memories but nothing could help it. He had the window seat. He laid his head against the window and gazed at the rest of the trains before he left. He thought about all of the happy people excited to go to Seoul. It's the capital of South Korea, a lot of people go, just to vist and tour around. He thought he was probably the only sad person on the train. He could feel his eyes getting tired. Sleep was probably a good idea, he shouldn't have too much stress. He closed his eyes and lowered his music volume, and he fell asleep.

His eyes opened, and he saw the underground tunnels of the subway. He pulled out his phone, his music had stopped, the album had ended. The time showed 8:32 am. His train departed at 7:30 am, he still had two hours of a train ride until he arrived at Seoul. 

He repositioned him self, and he noticed there was someone sitting next to him. "Hello," the boy said. He was a young adult, he looked about a year older than Jungkook, medium hair length, and a brown hair color. He had a kind of round face, but not bad, he was very handsome. "Hi" Jungkook replied. It became very awkward right away, but the boy didn't seem shy. "What's your name?" the boy asked Jungkook. "Oh, uh Jeon Jungkook, but I go by Jungkook." he replied. Jungkook was acting shy because he knew he was younger than him. "Oh cool! My name is Park Jimin, but you can call me Jimin." the boy said. "Oh nice," Jungkook said. It got silent again, but Jimin said "So, what music are you listening to?" Jungkook didn't realize he still had his headphones in, even though his music had stopped. So he said, "Oh, I was listening to EXO's album XOXO, but I fell asleep and it stopped." And he took his headphones out. Jimin's face lit up. "You listen to EXO? Me too!" Jimin said. Jungkook turned around and looked him in the eye. "What other music do you listen to?" Jungkook said acting surprised. "Uh, Super Junior, ShinEE, Got7, Astro, GFriend, Girls Generation..." Jimin kept saying groups and Jungkook knew all of them.  "I think we're going to be good friends." Jungkook said with a smile. Jimin smiled back and nodded.

~~~~~~~

The two boys talked for two hours straight about Kpop and their past lives. Jungkook told Jimin about his parents and how he left Busan to become an artist. Jungkook learned that Jimin can sing really well too, and dance.  

It turns out Jimin was living in Busan with his brother. He left because he felt like he could start over in Seoul, he wanted to try to get good grades, but he still wanted to sing and dance. Jimin wants to be noticed. He says he spent his whole life living in Busan, and his only true friend was his brother. He was telling Jungkook that no one noticed anything that he did and he never got recognized by doing anything. He didn't like that, so he wanted to go somewhere else, and what better place is there than Seoul?

Jungkook and Jimin talked about life for the rest of the train ride, they were slowly becoming close friends, already telling each other deep stuff. Maybe Seoul won't be so bad for Jungkook after all.
