BOOK 1: "STILL WITH MY MEMORIES" is a story of finding and choosing love between present and the past. An ordinary love story it seemed, but it is not.
I immediately get my phone and dialled a familiar contact number.
(Phone ringing)
"...Hello" A deep familiar voice answered.
"Hello...
...hyung"
"Jungkook?"
"Yes, it's me..."
"A-are you home?"
"No, I'm driving right now... Ahm- I'm with Hyuna" He sounded a bit embarrassed.
"Oh really???" I chuckled as I massaged my neck. I quickly glance at the wall clock. It's past 6pm. I guess it's not the right time to call him.
"Am I interrupting something?!" I teased him with a wide grin.
"O-of course not! We just ate dinner... T-that's all..." I just imagined his face turning red.
"Okay, okay! If you say so...hahah. I'll just call you some other time hyung. Take care!"
"Okay! Bye..."
I ended the call with a smile. I'm grateful he's slowly getting his life back.
Well, I guess I need to deal with this 'Jimin effect' feeling on my own. "Ugh!!" I got my things and decided to jog outside.
Maybe I needed some fresh air.
Jimin POV I took a night walk as I feel a little lonely at home. Grandma went to our hometown to visit my uncle and will stay there for a month.
(Deep sigh)
After few steps of walking, I found myself standing in front of the convenience store I used to hang out when I was in highschool.
It feels nostalgic as I go inside the store. I can't help but smile when I remember the triangle kimbap I used to buy and eat while walking.
"How may I help you, sir?" "Hmm... I'd like to buy one coffee, please." "Would that be all, sir?" "Yes."
While waiting, my eyes landed at the familiar spot where I first met Taehyung.
"U-uhm, Excuse me...can you make that two coffee,please. Thank you."
After getting my order, I sat on the bench and put the coffee on the exact same spot where Taehyung sat. I sip my bitter coffee quietly and watched people walking in front of me.
"Is this seat taken?" Someone asked.
Jungkook POV I just ran and ran until my legs hurt. I didn't realize I went too far from my house. "Ahh, I need some water." I stopped to catch my breath.
Luckily, I see a convenience store nearby.
With sweat all over my body, I went inside and bought water. The cashier kept on staring at me probably because I looked gross.

"Where am I?" I looked around the area. With my great fortune, I realized I left my phone at home. Great. I said frustratedly as I closed the cap of the bottle and walked a little.
The area looked a less cramped than my place. There were few less houses than mine. I wondered where am I? I kept looking around. There must be a bus station nearby but instead of bus station or taxi, I see a familiar face.
Jimin?
I slowly walked towards him but it seemed to be in deep thought. I also noticed the cup coffee beside him. Is he with someone? My brows furrowed with the thought of him being with a date.
"Is this seat taken?" I managed to ask. I leaned closer so he could hear me since he seemed to be too occupied.
His eyes widened when he saw me. Cute.
"J-jungkook ssi?"
"Jimin ssi?" I must be grinning widely. I didn't know why but crossing path with him made me happy.
"W-why are you here? A-are you living here too?"
"Are you?"
"Well, yeah...my house is just 2 blocks away from here," He said leaning a bit forward to point the direction. The scent of coffee and jasmine filled my nostrils as the air swift his scent.
"R-Really? I'm actually lost..." I chuckled. I kinda felt uncomfortable with some strands of hair sticking on my forehead so I whipped it all backwards. Now I could see him more clearly.
"..." I feel his gaze for a moment. Was he grossed out with how I look?
"I-I'm supposed to take a light jog to relax my mind but I didn't realize I went too far... Do you mind?" I pointed the empty space beside him where he put his coffee. My legs was really hurting after a long jog. "O-oh no, sure... Y-you want coffee?" He said offering the cup of coffee which I accepted with a smile.
"Thank you."
He was about to say something when sudden flash of lightning and thunder surprised us. It was the followed by heavy rain all of a sudden.
We ran fastly to shelter ourselves in the nearest roof. Our shoulders brushed as we cramped ourselves to avoid the rain.
I stole a glance at him.
His hair is wet and his white polo almost sticking to his skin. My throat suddenly felt dry. Here came the weird feelings again. Without realizing it, I started watching his every movement. From the way he shook his head a little to lessen water on his hair to how he bit his lips to smudged the raindrops on it. How come he looked ethereal in this situation?
I immediately looked away when he suddenly gazed at me. "You're soaking wet." He said worriedly. I almost jumped when he suddenly touched my shirt.
"You'll catch a cold. The rain seemed to be not stopping anytime soon. I can lend you some clothes."
