They arrived at Taehyung's house. He didn't even notice Jungkook was sleeping until he heard soft scores coming from his direction. He smiled and picked him up. He didn't know if Jungkook wanted to sleep on his bed or in another room, so he shrugged it off and put him on his bed. Luckily his bed was a king size bed.

Morning

Damn.. What a weird dream I had.. I wonder who it was tho. Jungkook thought as he woke up. He rubbed his eyes as memories from the last day came back to him.

When realization hit him, he quickly turned his head to the right, and saw Taehyung sleeping peacefully.

Damn he's so handsome even when he literally does nothing.. Look at him how peaceful he looks.

Without noticing, he moved his face closer to taehyung's, until they were literally one inch from each other.

Jungkook what in the world are you doing? Move away! What if he'll wake up?! He mentally cursed himself, and moved away to his previous position.

A little tiny soft kiss won't wake him up right?

He moved closer again and planted a soft peck on Taehyung's lips. Though, he immediately pulled away when he felt that Taehyung kissed back. He blushed madly and hid his face under the pillow as Taehyung chuckled.

"Kookie"
No answer.

"Kookie"
Again silence.

"Kookie look at me"

"No, you'll laugh at me and hate me"

"Are you being serious right now? I'll never hate you and I promise I won't laugh. I just want to ask you something"

He moved the pillow a bit, so that only his eyes could be seen.

"Why did you do that kookie?"

Taehyung asked softly. Jungkook was so glad that Taehyung didn't see his face because he was blushing so much that a tomato probably would be jealous of him if it had eyes.

"I don't know why. You just looked so peaceful and I guess I-"

tears started to form in his eyes, and even he himself didn't know why. When taehyung saw it he stopped him and smiled.

"It's okay, I kinda liked it anyways. Come here"

he patted the place beside him, signing Jungkook to lay there. Jungkook hesitated and had a mini inner fight, but did as he was told. He laid next to the older, with the pillow still hiding his face.

Taehyung chuckled at how cute Jungkook looked when he was embarrassed, and took the pillow out of his burning face.

He hugged his waist and brought him closer, so they were basically cuddling.

"Why are you so cool about it? Is it normal for you that people kiss you?"

"Why? Is my kookie jealous?" He laughed and ruffled his hair.

"What? N-no! I was just asking..."

He said innocently and looked somewhere else. He was a blushing mess from the nickname Taehyung gave him, but at the same time, it felt somehow so normal to hear it from him.

"It's okay, and no it's not normal for me that people kiss me all the time. It actually was my first because I always kept it for a certain someone"

he looked at the younger and smiled.

"Omg I'm so sorry! I didn't-"

"Stop apologizing, it's okay. I mean, it's complicated. You took it from that person, but at the same time you didn't..." He looked away and let out a small sigh.

"Tae, can we play something?"

"Yeah sure, what do you want to play?"

"The guessing game. I'll ask you questions and you just need to tell me if I'm wrong or right, okay?"

Taehyung nodded and waited for him to continue.

"That certain person is your childhood friend, isn't it?"
Taehyung nodded.

"You told me that you already met him, right?"
Taehyung nodded.

"You also told me he doesn't remember you"
Again Taehyung nodded

"That friend is me isn't he?"

Taehyung froze. Literally. His skin became pale and cold, he started to sweat and his body was shaking. Since he was holding Jungkook in his embrace, the younger was slightly shaking too and he could feel the coldness of Taehyung's hands on his waist.

"Jung-  I-I mean, jongkook.. W-what are y-you t-talking about?"

He stuttered and looked at the younger with horrified face.

"What was the name you wanted to say?"

"It doesn't matter"

"Tae, please tell me. I'm doing it for the sake of both of us"

Taehyung hesitated and had an inner fight, but gave up and said the name slowly.

"Jungkook. I wanted to say Jungkook"

"Do you know why I changed my name?"

"W-what? How are you.. Wait what?"

He shouted with anger as he loosened his grip on Jungkook's waist, and it surprised not only the other, but himself too.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"

"I remember only this, and I'll tell you later how, but please listen" he started and Taehyung nodded.

"I changed my name because I didn't want anybody to call me how you used to. Only a week after you left I changed it, because every  time somebody said my name or one of the nicknames you gave me, immediately I thought of you and started crying. It drove me crazy that it's not you who calling me like this, but someone else, so I decided I'll change my name until you'll come back"

both of them were crying on each other's shoulder for ten minutes straight. When Jungkook's cries calmed down, he continued.

"When I held your hand yesterday, I felt like I already did it, but I shrugged that feeling off. Then I started to get dizzy so I thought I was just tired and let the sleep get over me. What I dreamed was really weird, but when I remembered what you said at the hospital, I thought about it and figured out that it may be me. But that's all I remember, I'm sorry"

"Can I finally call you Jungkook instead of Jongkook now?" Jungkook nodded and smiled.

"Jungkookie...I missed you. A lot. I'm sorry I left you for six years, I really am. Every minute I spent at Daegu made me regret more and more that I left with my egoistic parents"

he cried and hugged him tight like his life were depending on it.

"Can you tell me what exactly you do remember?" He added and looked at the younger with hopeful eyes.

"I know that we were friends back then until you left with your parents, I remember that I changed my name and the reason I did it, as you already know, and I remember that time when I held your hand before you left me. That's all I remember, I'm sorry tae"

Taehyung just kept silence and hugged him tighter.

I will make you remember me, I promise.
