Taekook/ This Is Us

1. Who's Kim Taehyung?

Jungkook lay back on his bed with his head against the headboard, mindlessly scrolling through pinterest. his boredom was increasing with every cat picture he moved past, trying to find something that piqued his interest. nothing. he sighed and slid down so his head was now comfortably resting on his pillow. his phone buzzed, making him jump slightly. he glanced at the notification and saw it was a message from Namjoon, his cousin and friend. they used to live a few hours away from each other, but since Jungkook had moved, they would now be attending the same school, Bangtan High.

Namjoonie: hey cuz, excited to start at Bangtan tomorrow?

Jungkookie: yo, kinda, more nervous tbh, anyone i should try and avoid?

Namjoonie: you don't wanna get on the wrong side of Lee Eui and his gang, but other than them, the only other person you should be worrying about is Kim Taehyung, and probably not for any reason you're thinking of.

Jungkookie: ok so Lee Eui.. but er wdym about the Taehyung guy?

Namjoonie: never mind ;) here's his Instagram account though, if you wanna stalk him, cuz i know you do that

Jungkookie: first of all, i do not stalk, i... observe, and second i saw you drooling over Seokjins pics the other day, don't even.

Namjoonie: whatever Kooks, here's his acc, enjoy ;)

Jungkook rolled his eyes, and clicked on the account Namjoon sent him. mentally assuring himself he wouldn't stalk, this Taehyung guy, he'd simply gather information, and figure out why he should supposedly avoid him.

he's kinda cute, Jungkook notes, scrolling further, I'm guessing he plays basketball, and he definitely looks popular. There were also a couple of pictures with a girl, his girlfriend maybe? Jungkook clicked on his recent selfie and scrolled to the comments.

10.1K likes? geez, he is popular. Jungkook mentally exclaimed, he noticed a conversation in the comments between a guy called Jiminmochi, it seemed to be the same guy who was in a couple of Taehyungs pictures, he clicked on the guys account.

these guys were definitely best friends, Jungkook decided. he also noticed two other guys in Taehyung and Jimins pictures, and figured it best to check their accounts out too, for research purposes obviously.

the first guy he figured, was called Yoongi.

Yoongi was 100% a basketball player, possibly captain, and he seemed pretty close with the other guy he'd noticed in the others pictures.

this guy seemed like a dancer, but his account only really showed that he was way too happy to be real.

Jungkook sat back and furrowed is eyebrows, his lips puckering. why did he have to avoid these guys? they just seemed like a group of cute guys (Jungkook wasn't ashamed to admit that) who had way more instagram followers than himself. where was the problem? he clicked back onto Taehyungs account, and soon enough found himself 13 weeks into the boys account, he glanced at the clock and saw it was 11:30pm, and he should probably sleep, he moved to click the home button, when instead, he liked a 13 week old video. he froze, his mouth open, then quickly unliked it.

"it's fine." he assured himself, "he has loads of followers liking and commenting on stuff, he probably didn't notice."

Jungkook nodded to himself and slid under his covers, placing his phone on his bedside table. he soon fell into a deep sleep, and dreamt of a boy with dark hair and a rectangle smile.
