first love

Summary:

When Hoseok's best friend (and unconfessed first love) moved away without even a goodbye, he thought he'd never see him again. A trip to Seoul years later puts a change to that, though the Yoongi he finds there is by no means the Yoongi he knew.

---

or, Yoongi moved away when he was recruited to become an idol and never told his best friend.

(A text/social media fic with plot!)

[ message to: kim taehyung ] 

jhobi: holy shit, i was clearing out my room and i found all this stuff from when i was like 17 and i found this picture
jhobi: look how cute nd small i was
jhobi:

 taetae: holy shit hyung i think this is the first time ive ever seen your forehead
taetae: who’s that edgelord in the pic w you? don’t think i’ve seen him before? cute tho

jhobi: thats yoongi, we were really close friends for like a year
jhobi: and by friends i mean i had an excruciatingly huge crush on him and he’d write me all these really romantic songs and i wanted to go out with him so bad
jhobi: and then he moved away before i got the courage up to ask him out when school started again and never told anyone where he was going 

taetae: oh no (T⌓T)
taetae: i take back what i said about him being cute that is such a dick move wtf

jhobi: shit i found another one
jhobi:

jhobi: these are makin me sad… will i stop digging around in this box though? the answer is no

 

taetae: or you could,, uhhh,, try not fucking doing that
taetae: you have no one to blame except for yourself jung hoseok

jhobi: you don’t get it though tae, he was my first love and all that shit
jhobi: there’s nothing u can do to stop me im gonna listen to sad music and dig through this stuff

taetae: you’re hopeless
taetae: ….. J-hopeless

jhobi: you’re such a dickhead
jhobi: see u on the other side, i’m goin into the box of sadness
jhobi: wait tae !!!! where are you i found something so much worse than the pics

taetae: not to endorse your bad behaviour, but spill, what’s up sad guy?

jhobi: i just found a sheet of lyrics written on the back of a maths worksheet that he wrote me
jhobi: they’re really fucking sweet tae

taetae: show it to me you coward

jhobi: okay one sec let me type them out
jhobi: i cant believe im showing this to you ugh
jhobi: Like always mask on
He who welcomes me with cheers
Your own star
Shining without any trouble
The time when I have to shine the most
I take my mask off
Lost star
I put down my burden I enjoy the darkness
There is no light that
shoots like a killer
Just as your heart goes
The way it feels, as you don’t hold me
Tick tock the dark is over
In order to become your best again
I hold onto myself
Love makes a person go insane

taetae: so tell me again why you two weren’t a Thing
taetae: like, together?
taetae: i mean, if he was writing you shit like this, surely you knew he was into you?
taetae: wait dont worry i forgot for a second there that you’re oblivious as fuck ( ̄^ ̄)

jhobi: well yeah there was that
jhobi: but he started giving me stuff like this right at the end of the school year, and through the holidays but by the time id decided to suck it up and ask him out, he’d uped and disappeared

taetae: are you telling me this asshole wrote you lyrics about how you’re a star and that love is making him insane but didnt even leave a note or nothin when he left?
taetae: i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, asshole move buddy

jhobi: that’s what happened :c
jhobi: no one knew what actually went down. Rumours started circulating like crazy - some people thought he was an undercover cop the whole time, or that he was the lost prince of some tiny nation, or that he’d been scouted to be an idol and had to go back to Korea
jhobi: i even heard one where people were convinced he’d never existed at all and that it was all a big social experiment

taetae: sounds fake but okay (・о・)

jhobi: i think he just wanted to cut ties to this place, and the people here i guess
jhobi: nothing can be done about it now, its just sad to think about….

taetae: who are you and what have you done with my optimistic hoseok? Give him back i don’t like this
taetae: that’s it… i’m coming over and i’m bringing chicken and beer and we can Skype Namjoonie-hyung for his never-failing advice and sympathy


jhobi:
see you in 15 you’re my hero the door’s unlocked
