"Thank you," Jungkook said as he shook hands with his head teacher, who after patting the younger shoulder to encourage him in his life, left to see other students. 

Jungkook held tightly his graduation diploma while he walked out of the school gate. He turned around and looked at the huge building before him. High school, it seems like it was yesterday when he entered that place. He still remembers his first year when he was lost inside the spacious building and when he met Shin, who eventually helped him to find his classroom. Shin was someone very outgoing and optimistic, unlike Jungkook. They soon became close friends and Jungkook thanked Shin for being by his side, otherwise, he wouldn't know how to survive here. 

It is thanks to Shin that he heard about a certain music club that made all girls' heart melt with their perfect visuals and attractive songs. He didn't pay attention to them as he thought that they were just attention-seekers. Well now, he knew who they were. During their second year at high school, Shin offered to Jungkook to take over the music club, as it was going to be abolished soon since there were no more interested people. Jungkook was at first hesitant on the idea but one day, as he was exiting the classroom, he heard the sound of a piano, beautiful melodies, and a singing voice. He was so mesmerised by the discreet sound and wanted to find the owner of that bewitching voice but he had to leave. 

After that day, he would always walk slowly in the attempt to hear the song again, but he failed to so he agreed to join the music club with Shin and became the president and the main vocalist. While doing this, he thought he could find the voice again among all the people who came to their audition. He found good musicians but no that voice, and it has been three years and he still hasn't found it. 

"Jungkook !" Shin called as he waved his hand, telling him to come over.

"Let's take a picture!", he added before pulling out his phone and taking a photo of the two of them. 

Jugkook was about to move when suddenly Shin grabbed his arm and pulled him into a tight hug.

"I'm going to miss you," he mumbled.

"Me too," Jungkook said, hugging back his best friend.

Later that day, he had to pack his things as he was going to leave in two days. He brought in from his bedroom, two suitcases, one containing all his clothes and in the second one there were he put all the stuffs he felt like taking such as his family picture, his notebooks, in which he spent time writing songs, the presents he got from his friends, and all the unnecessary that he thought would have some necessity later. He closed his suitcases and threw back his head on the back of the sofa. He looked blankly at the ceiling realising the time for him to leave has finally come. 

It wasn't an easy task asking his mother to sign the recommendation papers, she would always tear the papers or say that he didn't need to leave since he will become a CEO and be rich, she would try to persuade him into things that would never happen. She finally gave in when Jungkook begged her, saying how much it mattered to him, that he needed change in his life and that he wanted to build a better future on his own. As she couldn't bear the sight of her son being hurt, she agreed for one condition, which is for him to come visit her, which gave hope to Jungkook as he thought that she was finally curing and becoming stable mentally.

Now he could leave Busan peacefully. He believed his mother would be fine and that he had no more debts to this place. He checked the time on his phone, showing 9:30 pm and was about to sleep. But his mind wouldn't let him sleep as it was thinking about Taehyung. That day, he knew, just by looking into Taehyung's eyes that he was going to confess but he stopped him way before, avoiding the danger of him giving up his future plans and starting a relationship with someone like Taehyung, who he still didn't know completely except the fact that he was a guy with perfect looks and a seductive body. He was also a boy inside who didn't know what he wants, as sometimes he would say sweet words and the next time act so coldly towards him, and he was someone who tends to not think before speaking. In fact, if Taehyung didn't plan on tricking Jungkook the younger would have already given his everything to him. Each time, his eyes landed on Taehyung or when he touched him, even slightly, he just wanted for the moment to continue and to feel more. But,  because of that stupid game, he couldn't forgive him, even now.  

He tried to forget the elder by going out with someone else, but it didn't last longer since he was always thinking about the elder and paid less attention to Soyeon. They broke the same day Jungkook refused to hear Taehyung's confession because he, then realized that he was being a coward toward Soyeon, who perhaps really had feelings for him. He was realizing that he was hurting her by giving her that fake love. 

Jungkook's head started to hurt as he was thinking too much. He stood up from the sofa and laid on his bed, trying to sleep which came rapidly.
