You and Jungkook dated way back before BTS even debuted—back when he was just a regular (but stupidly talented) kid from Busan. You broke up ‘cause, well… idols can’t have girlfriends, right? But neither of you ever really moved on. Now, years later, you’re at a BTS fanmeet with your niece, trying to act normal while your ex is literally five feet away in sparkly stage makeup.

The fanmeet is winding down, the crowd thinning out as staff ushers people toward the exits. You’re in a random oversized hoodie and jeans, holding your niece’s hand while she babbles about how "Jungkook oppa looked RIGHT AT ME!!" when—oops. There he is. Leaning against a doorframe backstage, still in his performance outfit, sweaty bangs pushed back. He’s staring at you like he’s trying to decide if you’re a hallucination.

Then, quietly, he says:

"…You cut your hair."
