Jiwoo POV

I woke up to the sound of a door slamming shut. My eyes wondered around the unfamiliar room I was in. The walls were plain with no pictures or posters. Both the walls and carpet were a shade of dark grey. I sat up looking at the large black and white bed I was laying in. Who's house am I in? Oh my! Did I get kidnap? Am I going to die? Is this is?

I jumped up out of the bed running to the bedroom door. I swung it open just standing there. I guess I didn't expect it to open on the first try. Maybe I'm not kidnap? Stupid Jiwoo, then where would you be. Pluto.

"You're awake." I jumped as I saw Jungkook walking out of the bathroom with a towel in his hands. His hair was still dripping wet. I looked down to see him wearing a white t-shirt and black pants.

"Jungkook?" I mumbled walking into the long hallway. Man his house must be big. Wait why am I in his house? "Why am I here?" I asked.

"I saw you sleeping on a bench outside of a grocery store. I couldn't let you just sleep the night away there. I hope you don't mind. I don't know where you live so I brought you to my house." He said smiling. His smile was so cute it reminded me so much of-

"Jungkook, are you-"

"So you want some breakfast. I'm not really good at cooking so I asked a friend of mine to stop by and make some breakfast for you." Jungkook brushed off my question before I could even ask it. Maybe it's for the best. There's no way he's him.

I followed behind Jungkook as we walked down his stairs. I never kept my eyes away from Jungkook's back. Though he does look just like him from the back. Maybe I'm wrong.

"Hey, Is it done yet?" Jungkook asked as we walked into a large white kitchen. Everything was spotless making me rethink my messy kitchen...and bedroom, living room, bathroom, and even laundry room.

"Almost. I've already made the eggs, bacon, and the kimchi is still fresh." I looked over at a tall male with red shaggy hair. He flashed me a smile before throwing a juice box at me. I caught the juice looking down at it. It was apple juice. I don't think I've drunk apple juice since middle school.

"Jiwoo, this here is Tyler. He's my roommate and close friend. I promise he doesn't bite." Jungkook said laughing a little.

"But Jungkook's cat Minnie does." Tyler said in a serious tone. I found myself smiling a bit.

I pulled out a chair at the table sitting down beside Jungkook. A few seconds later Tyler sat down on the other side of the table with a plate full of toast. "Okay dig in guys!" Tyler shouted. I watched carefully at Jungkook and Tyler who were grabbing food left and right. I then watched Jungkook slam two pieces of bacon in his mouth. I started laughing as I saw his cheeks puff up.

"What's so funny?" Jugkook asked with a mouthful of food. I shook my head waving my hand back and forth telling him nothing. Yeah nothing but his puffy adorable cheeks. I stuck my straw into the container before taking sips of the juice. I didn't even realize how thirsty I was until I noticed I drunk the full container of juice within a few seconds.

"Wow. One eats a lot. One drinks a lot. You two make a perfect match." Tyler said smirking before taking a bite of his eggs. I felt my cheeks flush as I looked away. I don't know why but I found myself smiling a little. I was about to speak when I heard a noise from down below my feet. I looked up at Jungkook who was wide eyes holding his fork mid air.

"Jungkook. Does someone live in your basement?" I question laughing a little.

"CAT!" Tyler shouted. I looked over at Tyler who was already jumping out his chair.

"I think that was Jungkook's cat getting into trouble. Let me go find that little guy." Tyler ran off before I could even blink.

"So Jiwoo, do you have school today?" Jungkook asked trying once again to change the subject. But this time I was happy.

"Oh shit! I've got to go!" I jumped out of the chair running to the front door. I grabbed the handle only for Jungkook to pull me back.

"I can drive you, plus you remember you have a few bags of groceries. I stuck some of them in the fridge to stay fresh." Jungkook said before walking back into the kitchen. He open a cabinet to pull out two bags. He stuck in a few more of my items I bought yesterday. "Come on." He said before walking to the front door. As I followed him I heard a scream.

"Sounds like Minnie bite Tyler once again." Jungkook laughed as he closed the door behind me. But for some reason it didn't sound like Tyler's voice.

The drive to my house was short but for the whole ride I didn't look away from Jungkook. His nose, his eyes, his lips, his hair, even his teeth. I never knew his real name so is he-

"We're here." Jungkook said cheerfully as he pulled up to my house. I still watched him as he unlocked the car doors.

"Kie?" I asked. I watched as Jungkook's expression changed in a heart beat. And in a second my heart was pounding. I was right, I knew I was.

"I didn't want you to remember." Jungkook mumbled looking down. His fingers were so tightly gripped around the streling wheel I noticed how white they were turning.

"I do though! I wanted to know what happen to you guys! Kie you were my best friend! The only person who was always there protecting me!" I shouted. My tears were so warm as they streamed down my cheeks.

"I tried looking for you. Around five years ago I found you. You were just starting a new school year. I found a friend of yours named Yeonie or something. Anyways she told me all about you, and I knew right then I found the right person. I told Yeonie everything including Insu. She was all on board with us meeting up until one day she called and cancelled the whole thing. I didn't understand why until I saw you a year later. You were happy. You seemed to have forgotten the whole thing. I didn't want to bring that back into your heart. I wanted you to keep that smile on your face. I wanted you to forget what those evil people did to us." Jungkook's spit anger at those last words. Instead of me being the one really destroyed I believe it's Jungkook.

I reached over grabbing his hands. "Listen Jungkook. I don't hold anything against those people. That's why we wanted our parents to come along with us, we knew they weren't evil. They were just all being misguided. Insu was doing that to them." I said softly as I looked up at him.

"You don't understand do you? After we ran away, Insu's cult still kept going. And even though Insu was killed in prison didn't mean they weren't still looking for you. They knew you were meant to be there." His voice changed a little as he pulled his hands away. I didn't know what to say so I just sat there. Lost for words. Lost thinking of the past.
