Jungkook's POV
I was writing down notes in history class when I saw something land on my desk. It was a piece of notebook paper folded to look like a heart.
I smiled, knowing who it was from. I looked to the boy next to me on my right and smiled. Taehyung, my best friend of five years, and crush of two, was innocently taking notes, acting as if he didn't just slip me a note.
I opened the paper heart, starting from the center and opening up the corners. The letter read:
Dear Kookie,
This class is really boring~ We should play hookie and go shopping. But I know you'd never miss out on a class, Mr. GoodyTooshoes. Any ways I have exciting news!!! I have a crush on someone! I think I've known it for a while now but I'm not sure they like me back . . . :( What should I dooooooo??? I really like him, he's smart, caring, cute, and always there for me. Should I tell him? Write back plsssss! <3
TaeTae💜
My heart dropped at his words. I should be happy for him. He's my best friend and he's happy. Therefor I should be. But I can't help the dreadful feeling, like my heart is being stepped on and sliced to pieces through a paper shredder. But I have to be there for him, that's what he'd do for me, right?
I took out a piece of notebook paper and a purple pen and wrote a letter back.
Dear Tae Tae Hyung,
I'm glad you've found someone who makes you happy! Anyone you're interested in must be super special, I know you'd never fall for just anyone. I'm happy for you hyung. Any ways, I would confess to him. If you really like him and want to be with him then just go for it! He'd be stupid to say no. Any one would.
Kookie🐰
Signing the letter with my name and a bunny, I folded the letter into a little paper heart, just as Tae had done, and set it on his desk when the teacher was turned around.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Tae take the note and open it. He looked happy. Excited actually. I wonder who the guy is? I'll have to ask later.
Taehyung's POV
I open the letter Kookie gave to me. Just as expected, he's supportive. I have been running away from my feelings for him for a long time now, and I think it's time I own up to the fact that I love him.
I'm not sure he'll be able to feel the same way about me, I mean, we've been friends for so many years, what would happen if he said no? Honestly, I don't want to find out. But Kookie said I should confess, and Kook always gives the best advice. Maybe I should take it . . . ?
After school
Jungkook's POV
After school I was walking down the street with Tae, on our way to the park. "So are you ever going to tell me who the guy is?" Jungkook asked.
"You'll find out soon enough Kookie, don't worry," the older said with a boxy smile that never failed to capture my heart. "Hyung! We've been friends for so many years! You've always told me who your crushes are. What's different this time? Do you not trust me anymore?" I said, blinking back the tears.
I know it's stupid, I shouldn't be crying over something stupid like this, but we've been friends for so many years, to think the person that's always been there for me doesn't trust me anymore . . . is heart breaking. Not to mention that he has a crush on someone else.
"Kookie, don't cry," Taehyung pleaded, "you know I trust you, you could never do anything to lose that trust either," Taehyung said confidently. At this point we have reached the park and sat down on a bench. It was pretty chilly so I put my hands in my jacket pockets.
"The reason I haven't told you who I like is because I don't know how you'll react. We've been friends for so long Kook, and I'd never want to lose our friendship because of a crush that I know can't be reciprocated." Tae looked sad at this point, eyes cast down and hands clenched in his lap.
I reached over and took his hands, "Don't be sad Hyung, no one could ever reject you. You're perfect, smart, kind, and have the cutest boxy smile ever." I could feel my face heating up at this point, but I didn't care, I needed to get some things off my chest. "There's no way some one could look at you and not want to be with you. You're perfect, hyung, and no one can deny that. You don't even understand, do you? How could I lose our friendship over a relationship? You mean more to me than that. Who cares if I'll be heart broken because that person you like isn't me? I can deal with it. I have been for the past two years." There. I said it. I, Jeon Jungkook, just did THE STUPIDEST thing I have ever done in my eighteen years of life. But strangely, it felt good. Like a weight was just lifted off my chest after being there for as long as I can remember.
But then it hit me. I just told my best friend I liked him . . . crap! I quickly looked up at Tae to see his reaction. His eyes were wide with shock staring at me, mouth slightly parted. I removed my hands from his and stood up from the bench, tears streaming out of my eyes, and began to walk away. How could I be so stupid?! I just ruined my relationship with my best friend. I am such a bad person. But suddenly I felt something grip my hand. More like a someone. I turned around, Tae was standing there in front of me, tears in his eyes, waiting to be spilled.
"What did you mean when you said you've been dealing with it for the past two years?" Tae asked, almost in monotone. "What do you think I meant?" I said sadly, not even sure why he's talking to me. "Are you telling me . . . that you've liked me . . . for the past two years?" he asked. I know there's no point in lying anymore, it's time to tell the truth. "Yeah," I whispered, "I have. And I'm sorry, I never wanted you to find out, I know you don't feel the same way, hyung. I'll leave now, you don't have to talk to me anymore." Starting to cry again, I turned around and started walking, but I didn't get very far until Tae ran in front of me.
"Jungkook," Taehyung breathed out, "the person in the letter? It's you. It's always been you. I've just been afraid to tell you because I didn't want to ruin our relationship either. Heck, if I'd have known I would have done something much sooner." Did I hear him right? Did he just . . . tell me he likes me back? No, he can't have. Then what did I hear? As if to answer my confusion, Tae leaned in and pressed his lips gently to mine. Shocked, is what I was, to say the least. Never the less, I kissed back. His lips were warm in the coldness that surrounded us. Never, would I have woken up this morning and thought my day would end up this way.
When we pulled away, we stayed close, my arms around his neck, and his hands around my waist, both smiling, and letting out an airy laugh, I said, "I love you, Kim Taehyung. I'm happy to have you in my life." Tae smiled his boxy smile at this, "I love you too, Jeon Jungkook, and I can't imagine a day without you by my side." As cheesy as we sounded, I didn't care, for I was young and in love. And nothing else mattered.
