Chapter 22: Bumped

“This is a thank you for every hour we have spent together, for every kiss, for every embrace, and for every tear shed for one another.”

After more than a year passed.

Jungkook was a photographer, he already graduated with honors. It's been a year since what happened to him. About moving on, he can still remember Taehyung's face, however, his hyungs didn't know about Taehyung's existence like everything was just him and his hyungs. Every moment with Taehyung went gone like how he left.

He was currently in his room, thinking about the next place for his project.

"Jungkook, I found something interesting." Namjoon barged inside Jungkook's room.

"What is it, hyung?" Jungkook sighed leaning his back on the chair, turning around to look at Namjoon who was sitting on his bed.

"The experts found something odd. They saw 2 skeletons hugging each other but they were both boys and they believe the skeleton was from a long decade ago." Namjoon explained.

"So?" Jungkook replied confused.

"Don't you get it, a long time ago, LGBT wasn't created yet, they believed it was a sin. That was confusing." Namjoon stated.

"Hyung, I'm not interested in that, I rather want to think about my project than that shit you're talking about." Jungkook sighed turning around the chair.

"Fine, by the way, do you already receive the email?" Namjoon asked changing the topic.

"What email?" Jungkook inquired confused not even glancing at him.

"Of V's manager, didn't I tell you that they want you as their photographer because V was planning to reveal himself?" Namjoon replied.

"About that, I declined it." Jungkook retorted.

"What? Why?!" Namjoon inquired as he stood up on the bed.

"You know I hate him, I don't want to work with him." Jungkook replied, rolling his eyes.

"Be professional, I know you hate him but that doesn't mean you won't accept their offer. You don't have a reason to hate him." Namjoon sighed.

"I just don't like him, hyung, geez, why does he have to cover his face? I believe he's ugly." Jungkook mocked.

"Unfortunately, you can't decline their offer because I told them you agreed with their offer. The email is about the photoshoot." Namjoon snickered.

"Do whatever you want, hyung." Jungkook stood up as he leaves the room.

He grabbed his coat and umbrella, leaving the house. He inserts his ear pods, opening the umbrella since it was a rainy day. He doesn't know where he should go but for now, he wants to be alone.

While walking, a boy with a black hat bumped into him, he rose his brow, glaring at the boy.

"What the heck man, you should move aside." A boy grumbled.

The boy looked up, clenching his jaw. While Jungkook lifted his umbrella, everything went slo-mo when he got eye to eye with the boy, he was shocked when he saw him. The same face, feature, and eyes. He found him, they literally bumped into the future.

"I know I'm handsome, but please, stop staring at me, you creeping me, man." V rolled his eyes.

But they have different characteristics. They might have the same face but Jungkook doesn't want to believe that this boy was his Taehyung.

"You're the one who bumped into me, that's not my fault." Jungkook fired back.

"If you didn't block me, I shouldn't bump into you." V shot too, kind of annoyed with the guy in front of him.

"How are you so sure I block you?! You're not looking in your way." Jungkook mocked.

"Geez, you getting on my nerves!" V growled.

He wants to punch him, V's hands were balled in a fist.

"Where is he? Go and find him, he's really bringing us in trouble."

V widened his eyes when he heard the familiar voice. He cursed under his breath, looking around finding something where he can hide. He bit his bottom lip when he didn't find a place to hide. He gulped looking at Jungkook, he had no choice but to do what he was thinking right now.

"Forgive me" V muttered pulling Jungkook's collar.

He closed his eyes, kissing Jungkook's lips which made Jungkook surprised. V tightened his grip on Jungkook's collar when he heard the footsteps coming from them. He opened his right eye, seeing his guards left. Jungkook immediately pushed him away.

"What was that for?" Jungkook inquired annoyed wiping his lips.

V didn't think twice, he grabbed Jungkook's wrist, pulling him away from the street.

"Let go of me, you piece of shit!" Jungkook groans but V tightened his grip until they got inside the convenience store.

Because of that, Jungkook's umbrella flew away.

"You're a criminal, right? That's why they were looking for you! Who the heck are you to drag me here?!" Jungkook asked growling.

"Aish, calm down, I'm not a criminal, lower your voice, they might misunderstand us." V rolled his eyes.

"Then, who the heck are you?!" Jungkook inquired crossing his arms.

V can't tell his idol name, or else, he fucked up.

"If you didn't tell me, I will tell them where you are." Jungkook sneered.

"No, don't tell them, I'm Taehyung, Kim Taehyung." V told him his real name.

And that makes Jungkook's world stop. Did he hear it right? Taehyung.

"You're lying." Jungkook uttered.

"Dude, I'm not lying, that's my name." V stated.

"Huh-how?" Jungkook muttered under his breath.

"Because my parents give that name to me?" Taehyung replied mockingly.

"T-this can't be happening, y-you're not him." Jungkook stuttered, he felt his heart heavy.

The pain he felt came back again, he was starting to forget him. He scanned V's features, he just notices the same necklace he bought for Taehyung. He started to pants heavily, his knees went numb causing him to fell on the floor.

"Hey, are you okay?" V inquired as he tries to approach him.

"Wuh-why you had to come back when I'm fine?! I already set you free! It hurts me! It hurts here! I-I suffered because of you! Why you h-had to show to me when I'm healing?" Jungkook cried.

V was confused yet he was worried about this guy.

"What's wrong?" V inquired, he was also panicked, he doesn't know what should he do.

Jungkook suddenly fainted which frightened V. He immediately went to him, shaking Jungkook's body.
