Jungkook One Shots

~Growing up~

"What a wimp! Why don't you go cry to your mommy!" You heard a kid yell from the distance.

You were on your your way home from school when you heard multiple voices and sounds of crying nearby. Listening closer, you started to recognize the person who was wailing.

Jungkook?

You started sprinting towards the sound as you came up to one of the parks in the neighborhood and there surrounded by a bunch of older kids was Jungkook. His face drenched in tears as the kids picked on and laughed at him.

"HEY! GET AWAY FROM HIM!!" You yell at the kids as they start scrambling away. You try to chase after them a little to scare them before stopping midway. "That's right! You mess with him again and I'll go after all ya'll and beat your mini asses!!" You blurt out.

After catching your breath, you walk back to Jungkook who was on the floor cradled into a small ball shape. "Jungkook? Are you okay?" You bend down to be the same level as him.

You can see the tears still running down his face so you hastily grab your handkerchief from your bag, handing it to him. He stares at it hesitantly but your impatience gets the better of you as you scoot closer to him and start wiping away the tears for him.

"You really need to start sticking up for yourself, I'm not always gonna be there to save you, you know that right?" You make him look you in the eyes to make sure he's listening. Your heart aches seeing him be teased by the other kids.

You finish wiping his tears and help him off the ground. "Feel better?" You ask as he nods his head. "Now, don't let those guys get to you. They're just immature brats that are just jealous of you because they don't have an amazing best friend, a.k.a. "Me", like you do." You grin trying to cheer him up as you start to see the corners of his mouth curl into a smile.

"Just promise me one thing?" He raises his brows with interest. "When we get older, you need to become strong alright? Cuz I know that deep down inside there, there's a strong, brave guy in there so just promise me that."

He looks at you with glistening, determined eyes, "I promise. But you have to promise me something too."

"What is it?" You ask.

"Promise me you won't ever leave me behind." He says and you take a moment to reply.

"I would never leave you." You answer sincerely.

"But I want you to promise me!" He pouts and you can't help but chuckle at how cute he acts.

"I promise~"

Ten years have passed since that day. He's now 17, turning 18 in about two months. I'm 23, going on 24 in exactly one month. If there's anyone in this world I care for the most, it's Jungkook. He's been by my side for as long as I can remember.

He can be a bit frustrating to be with at times but I still love him to death. Of course, similar to how a sister loves her brother kind of way. I just can't see him as being anything other than my best friend.

The age gap between us is six years. It doesn't really bother me much. Other than when people see us together, people tend to think that I'm some lady trying to hit on high school boys.

There's times when I think, watching him grow up right before my eyes, that one day, he'll realize he won't need me anymore. Of course I'll be sad, but then again, he's a grown man. It was bound to happen one day. When he does, I'll be the proud best friend that will be cheering him on.

As for me, I have gotten a descent job that pays average wage. Our college is on break right now, which is why most days, I only go out for work or to buy food.
