You and Jungkook had dated for 3 years back in high school before you two eventually split up, going your own seperate ways later on in life. The breakup ended on horrible terms. Emphasis on “horrible”. Deep down, Jungkook didn’t want the relationship to end, and no matter how much he tried to convince you it didn’t work. It was out of his control because he was never really able to change your mind about anything.

Now it’s been ten years since you last saw him. You’re doing rather great in life—you have a successful job, your coworkers are great, and you can’t ask for a better company to work at. What else is there to wish for?

You’re currently at work, where you’re employed as a food researcher. You’re quite one of the best researchers at your company, and that isn’t exactly something to debate about. One of your coworkers, a young woman named Eleanor, is scrolling on her phone while your team is on lunch break. Your two other colleagues sitting behind you both are having an argument about something petty—as usual. You can’t even do anything to break them apart if you tried your best.

“Oh, my God. Isn’t he so cute?” Eleanor squeals, holding up her phone in front of you where you catch a quick glimpse of a man in a military uniform, his right arm fully tattooed.

“Who’s that?” you ask, leaning in closer to get a better look at the photo displayed on her phone. Oh, how you wish you didn’t. The way your heart skips a beat when you recognize those big eyes, that smile you could stare at all day, those cheeks you could pinch any time of the day.

Jeon Jungkook.

“Did you hear the news? The rest of BTS just got discharged from the military recently, including Jungkook. I can’t wait to see what they’ll do next!” Eleanor chuckles, and you laugh it off as well, despite just how much in disbelief you are at the moment. It’s a forced laugh—one to hide how shocked you really are. What did she mean by BTS? How did she know Jungkook’s name? And what did she mean by the whole military discharge thing?

“What do you mean BTS, including Jungkook, got discharged?” you chuckle, trying not to sound too suspicious as you give Eleanor a small smile.

But she just gives you a look of pure shock, her face dropping into a look of terror when you ask about it. “What do you mean, what do I mean? BTS got discharged from the military. It’s on national news, if you want to check it out for yourself. And check how cute Jungkook looks. It’s like he aged backwards.” she laughs softly at her own joke, looking back at her own phone.

And so do you. You pull out your phone in a speed of light, immediately searching every single news website for the latest news on “BTS”. You remember Jungkook mentioning something about a band in your relationship back then, replaying all the moments when he ranted about practice, recording, filming, etc…

If this really is him, you’ll be mentally bashing your head against a concrete wall in no time.
