He fell first, she fell harder.
Once he knew that she fell too, he fell hardest.
A story of Korea's most famous K-po...
The elevator door opens to the big penthouse and I am welcomed on Jungkook's floor. The door is open since I texted Jungkook about my arrival and watch him standing there with a big smile on his face.
"Ayo, Jimin-ssi!"
"Hello, Jungkook-ssi. Here keep these in the ice buckets." I tell him passing the two bottles of champagne that I purchased earlier and his eyes widen at the two bottles while he takes it from me. "What the fuck, Hyung? Two bottles? Are we gonna die tonight or what?" He asks but I chuckle, holding the bag of snacks to his dining table.
"I'm just happy tonight. So we'll drink till we pass out. I don't have a shoot tomorrow so no worries." I inform him and watch him take out his glasses and plates and place them on the table.
"Happy? About what?"
"I met my first crush. That's why," I reply and an immediate smile lingers on my lips. I feel like I'm going back to my teenage days where I would look at Y/n in the cafeteria and library and then giggle to myself like a shy boy that I was. I still am shy but I've matured a lot but still feel soft whenever I see her.
The feelings aren't that deep but it is there. The ones that I had back in school.
"Wow! Them is he or she?"
"She."
"Where did you meet her?" Jungkook's ears perk up as I take a seat on the chair and he opens the champagne bottle, pouring it into the glass while I open the chicken boxes. "Drama set." His eyes widen and he stops pouring the champagne.
"She is a staff member? Wait! Don't tell me she's your makeup artist?" He asks and I chuckle at him, shaking my head right after. "No, she's a actress."
"What the fuck, Hyung?" He squeals and keeps the bottle down. "You're telling me that your first crush is starring in the same drama as you?" He asks with excited eyes and I nod. His lips curve up and jaws drop while he looks at me in disbelief.
"Damn! This feels like destiny. Did you talk to her—"
"She isn't aware that I was in her school. Jungkook, don't be ridiculous. Just pour the drinks!" I glare at him playfully but he pouts, continuing to pour the drink.
"You should tell her. It's not like you're seeing someone anyway. Do you still like her?" He asks and looks up at me curiously. My cheeks heat up and I feel like a school girl at this point. "I do. I think I still like her like I did. I get shy and nervous around her—"
"Just confess to her!"
"What? No! Are you mad? She'll think I'm crazy!"
"Tell her you're crazy in love~"
"Shut up! I'm not sure of my feelings. Let's not talk about this anymore!" I scowl and Jungkook flashes me a smug smile before we drink the night away and get lost in the night.
"Have I ever told you about my first love?" Jungkook questions and I blink at him. "Nope. You didn't. But you have dated so many girls, Kook. How would I know which one was your first one?" He gives me a offensive look but sips on the drink.
"You've had girlfriends too! Don't act like a saint here," he says and sticks his tongue out at me. I roll my eyes and sigh. "Because I'm a man with needs. Of course, I need to take my frustration and stress out, right?" I begin and he motions his index finger. His eyes closing, signalling at her reached his peak drunk state.
"You're right. Man with needs. Indeed! So about my first love, I want to tell you about her. She was really special," he says and I listen to him. The alcohol has hit my brain too but I'm more sober than Jungkook right now.
"First love is always special. Mine is too," I say and recall the way I was in school after I met Y/n. The way she changed my life and now I'm successful here, all because of her. Maybe, not directly because of her but it began because of my love for her.
"My first love was at school. Busan High school—"
"Hey! I was at the same school too!" I tell him and he glares at me. "Don't interrupt me!" I blink my eyes but sip on the champagne. "Continue, my child." I say dramatically, raising a toast and Jungkook giggles before clinking his glass with mine and chugging it down.
He takes a deep breath, his eyes turning sad and happiness draining from his features. "I love her. But I hurt her. I cheated on her but she still paid my bills and stayed with me till I debuted. She was really an angel. But I lost her after that. I insulted her and degraded her. I lost her to my popularity, Hyung." He says, a few tears leaving his eyes and I look at him in sympathy.
"That's awful, Jungkook. You cheated on her and then insulted her too—"
"I was blinded by popularity, Hyung! I was young that time and it was my fresh years that I gained success that I had to cut her off me. But now that I realise, she was the best one. She is the best one. No one can be like her." He says and sobs, burying his face in his hands and pat his back to comfort him.
"Past is past, Kook. Nothing can be done about it. Move on," I say and he sniffles before pouring more drink into his glass and I try to stop him. "Hey, kid! That's enough! You're already drunk as hell!"
"Cheers to our first love!" He says, clinking his glass and then dropping his head on the table. "I wish, I meet her again. I want to love her better this time," he says and I sigh, caressing his head.
"You still love her?"
"No girl can be better than her. She's not for dating, Hyung. She's a total wife material. The one you'll want to spend your life with," he says and closes his eyes. I scoff at this drunk kid before taking my glass and finishing off my drink. I raise my glass and toast for myself,
"Cheers to our first love!"
