Tales of Us ( Taekook )
The stories
Inside a small cozy room sat a little girl not older than 6 on her bed. Beside her a man probably in his 40s sat on a chair.
?
The story you promised me daddy
?
First get under the sheets little girl
?
I'm going to tell you the stories for sure
The man tucked the little girl in bed and smiled fondly at her.
?
Yes...or you can say about a stupid boy
?
Once upon a time there lived a really dumb boy
?
Not dumb actually but a coward
?
He fell in love with another boy
?
But he didn't have the courage to confess his feelings
?
He was... let's say...a very delusional guy
?
So he made scenarios in his head about him and the boy he liked and wrote him a book
?
Yes, a book. A book full of delusions, full of stories he created in his mind, stories about them falling in love.
?
Tell me about the stories he wrote
Summer of Love
Summer love is the feeling of a sunset that refuses to end—a warm, honey-thick glow that makes everything feel soft, possible, and temporary.
"It is a wildflower romance; it doesn't ask for permission to grow, and it doesn't promise to survive the frost. It simply exists in its most vibrant colors right now."
It was summer when Taehyung met Jungkook, the love of his life.
It was the kind of heat that turned the school’s sprawling lawns from vibrant green to a brittle, scorched tan. Students huddled in the narrow slivers of shade provided by the oak trees, moving only to wipe condensation from their water bottles.
Jungkook pushed through the door and entered the classroom. It was his first day here in one of the best school in California. It was all new to him who grew up and studied in South Korea, his birthplace.
That was when Taehyung first saw him. The moment his eyes landed on the boy everything seemed to have blurred. It was like the whole world stopped moving.
Jimin
Aren't you my new neighbour?
Jungkook
Yeah! What a coincidence!
Jungkook did. Taehyung was right behind him. He could catch a slight smell of floral mixed with citrus, a sweet yet refreshing scent like the cool sea breeze.
Jimin
If I knew you were going to attend the same school we would have come together
Jungkook
I'm kind of nervous
Jungkook
It's totally different from my previous schools
Jungkook
We're not even wearing uniform
Mrs. Lawrence, the literature teacher, a blonde woman in her 40s entered the room flexing her new bag.
?
The girls in the back, please stop talking
?
Oh! And I heard we have a new student
?
A handsome Asian boy ! How cute !
?
Your name is Jeon ? Or Jungkook?
?
Jungkook we've completed some portions of your syllabus before you came so you should take the notes from your friends
?
Then let's start the class
Jungkook
Do you have the notes?
Jimin
I usually bunk classes
Jimin
I'm in the soccer club so I'm mostly there
?
I have the notes. You can borrow my notebook
Jungkook turned back and saw him, Kim Taehyung, the guy who has already fallen for him at first sight.
Taehyung
But I was born here
?
I'm teaching a very important poem here
Summer of Love
Jungkook
Thanks for the notebook Taehyung
Taehyung
Can I have your number?
Taehyung
I mean we can uh...you know...uh
Taehyung smiled like a fool and saved the number.
Jungkook was in his room after having dinner when his phone rang. It was an unknown number
Taehyung
Jungkook, it's Taehyung
Jungkook
Oh! Hey Taehyung!
Taehyung
Just wanted to call you
Taehyung
What are you doing?
Jungkook
Nothing. I just had dinner
Taehyung
Are you coming to school tomorrow?
Taehyung
I have a match with another school tomorrow
Jungkook
You want me to watch your match?
Taehyung
Great! See you at school tomorrow
Taehyung
Goodnight Jungkook
Jungkook ended the call and sat up.
Jungkook
People here are so friendly and open minded
Jungkook
We just met today and he's talking to me like he's known me for ages
Jungkook
And everyone's good looking too
Jungkook
And Taehyung is so handsome...wait he said he has a match but I didn't even ask him what he plays
Jungkook
I'll just ask tomorrow
Jungkook
I should probably sleep
