When you know someone so well, every part of that person becomes familiar to you to the point that you don't even need all five senses to recognize them. 

The moment he heard your voice, Jungkook's head snapped up, his eyes landing on the monitor above him where a beautiful girl in a simple white dress was singing with a guitar in hand. 

Y/N?

He thought as he slowly removed his earplugs, feeling his heart thundering in his chest. He leaned his elbows on his knees, his stare unwavering from yours, mesmerized by the sight of you. 

It's been five years since he’d last seen you. Five years since he last heard your voice. But even though that's the case, he knew you by heart and from the first note that came out of your mouth, he knew immediately that it was you, even if that girl on the screen looked different. 

You're hair had become shorter and fell just shy of your shoulders. It was also dyed with a golden brown color, which complimented your skin tone. Jungkook stared at your face, which he found breathtakingly beautiful though he still preferred your bare face.

Still so beautiful, he thought just as the camera zoomed in on your facials. You looked straight into the camera and Jungkook felt like the breath was knocked out of his lungs and his mind produced bits and pieces of memories that flashed before his very eyes:

Hands entwined...

Head against his chest as an arm drapes across his torso; the smell of apples consuming him.

A smile and a laugh that sounded like chimes, melodious and happy...

Soft lips against his... The taste sweeter than anything he had ever known...

"I wonder if she'll take a picture with me if I asked." Taehyung said, snapping Jungkook back to his senses.

Picture, he thought and he suddenly stood up, making the other two on the couch jump. Jungkook had a wild look in his eyes as he looked down at his hyungs and they wondered what on earth has gotten into him.

"Picture? Let's find out, hyung." He said as he grabbed Taehyung's arm and pulled him away.

"What?!" Taehyung said in shock as he tried to pull away from his grip. "But I'm not ready to meet Jane."

Her name's not Jane, Jungkook wanted to say but decided not to drop the bomb on him and tell him that his idol was actually his best friend from way back...

His ex-girlfriend, even.

"Fine I'll go alone."

"Whoa whoa!" Taehyung yelled as he grabbed his shoulder. "No way. If you're seeing her I'm coming with. I'm not gonna let you steal my girl."

"She's not—“ Jungkook felt his knuckles close and he had the sudden urge to punch him but the moment the words came out of his mouth, he realized just how wrong his statement was and he immediately shut his mouth close before Taehyung recognizes his mistake. 

She's not yours, he wanted to say. 

Well she's not yours either , he said to himself.

At least not anymore…

"Let's go." Jungkook said and Taehyung smirked as he followed him out of the room. "Slow down, Jungkookie." He chuckled. "I told you—"

"What?" He asked as he pressed the GF (ground floor) button on the elevator, seeing his hands shake slightly of nerves. 

Taehyung glanced sideways at him, a knowing smile gracing his lips. "Told you she was hot."

Jungkook felt a little uncomfortable at how he thinks that his ex-girlfriend was hot and he wasn't sure what exactly he was feeling every time he talked about you in that way. It's almost like he wanted to tell him to back off—

Shut it, Jungkook! What you had was long gone. You moved on.

Right?

"Hey." Taehyung tapped his shoulder and as he glanced at him, he saw his hyung giving him a concerned gaze. "You alright?"

"Yeah." He lied, knowing well that he wasn't. 

~~~

There was something about the crowd's cheers, the lights pointed at you, and the music booming around the studio that made you feel like you're on top of the world. Singing has always been something you loved to do and that love heightened whenever you performed—whenever you shared your music with everyone. 

After the performance, you bowed and waved at the audience receiving a resounding applause from everyone. Smiling, you left the stage to make way for the next performers.

"Awesome work," Jordan smiled as he welcomed you backstage. "As usual."

"Thanks." You smiled just as a couple of idols passed you, bowing and telling you how great you were up there.

"Kamsahamnida." You bowed back before moving to follow Jordan to the waiting room. 

A couple of your stylists made their way towards you, handing you a bottle of water and wiping sweat from your forehead with a tissue. You were just about to enter the waiting room when you felt a light tap on your right shoulder. 

Turning around, you caught sight of a guy with blonde hair and a bright smile, wearing a white long sleeved polo and slacks.

"Annyeonghasseyo, Jane-ssi." He bowed politely and you smiled back, bowing a greeting in return. "Hello."

"I'm Kim Taehyung." He said and you couldn't help but stare at him, finding him completely attractive with sharp eyes, heart shaped lips, and a face straight out from a manga. "I'm a big fan of your music. You're great!"

"Kamsahamnida." You bowed with a smile. "It's nice to meet you, Taehyung-ssi."

"I don't want to seem like an over crazed fanboy," he chuckled and you smiled, finding his laugh to be adorable and contagious. "But would it be alright if I get a picture with you?"

"Oh!" You smiled and nodded. "Of course."

"Jinja?!" He asked happily and you couldn't help but giggle at his enthusiasm. He looked like he just won the lottery or something; his eyes were literally sparkling. "Yeah of course—“

"Yah! Jungkookie! Can you take our picture?

Wait who—?, you thought in panic just as you looked at the direction Taehyung was looking at. Coming towards you was a guy with black hair and doe eyes, wearing a white long-sleeved polo and a black tie, similar to what Taehyung was wearing. He has gotten taller the last time you'd seen him, his chest more defined and his face had matured somehow. 

Nonetheless, he still looked breathtakingly beautiful. Even more so than before and you weren't sure how that was possible. 

"Sure hyung." He muttered as he took out his phone, glancing at you but there was no recognition in his eyes whatsoever. You almost wondered if he didn't recognize you at all, considering that you did look a little different with dyed hair and full on make-up—

But no that different, you thought as Taehyung stepped beside you to pose for the picture. You were still thinking about how on earth you had gotten into this situation when a familiar voice said, "Smile, Y/N-ah."

You looked up at the mention of your real name, staring at the boy behind the camera... the boy who stole your heart for the very first time... And the boy who broke your heart five years ago.

They’re one and the same, you thought as mixed feelings consumed you: surprise, happiness, anger...

Definitely anger. 

You looked straight into the lens and smiled, hooking your arm through Taehyung's and leaned in close. You saw a change in Jungkook's expression. It was slight and would've been missed by most but you saw it: the frown that graced his lips. It was pretty obvious that he was frowning at your close proximity and you smirked inwardly before smiling sweetly, making sure he saw it in your face. Jungkook clenched his jaw then counted to three before pressing the capture button. 

~~~

Jungkook was contented watching you from a corner where he was completely hidden from your view. He watched as you got off stage, observed as you walked with a guy and a couple of stylists, thinking how completely different you were now. 

"I'm gonna go and talk to her." Taehyung said and before he could stop him, he had already sauntered away. Taehyung loved to do that: making friends with everybody and Jungkook kind of envied that attitude in him. Taehyung could get along easily with anyone with his bright and bubbly personality. As in his case, he was often shy around new people and it takes time to be able to be friends with him. Unlike Taehyung who can make you feel like you've known each other for years despite having just met...

Like what he's doing right now,he thought as he watched Taehyung talking with you animatedly, his smile practically splitting his face in half. 

Jungkook felt a pang of jealousy bubbling in his chest when you smiled—laughed—at something Taehyung said. He remembered how hard it was to make you smile before or to get your attention, even. And he wasn't sure what to feel about how Taehyung easily made you do it. 

Stop it, Jungkook. He scolded himself. Hyung's just like that...

He was just about to go when he heard his name being called, his breath hitching in his throat. Taking a deep breath, he tried to make his face expressionless as he made his way towards the both of you. He tried not stare at you and made it seem as if he doesn't know you at all. From the surprise and confused look on your face, he was doing a good job. 

He was going to keep up the act but when he saw your frowning face on his phone screen, he couldn't help himself and slipped. "Smile, Y/N-ah."

Flashback

"Jungkook! No more pictures!" You whined as you covered his DSLR's lens. 

"Oh come on jagi~" he cooed as he removed your hand gently and leaned closer. "Just one smile—“

"No!" You said. "I look horrible today—“

"You look horribly beautiful." He grinned just as he took the shot. He looked at the camera's screen and smiled. "Yep. Beautiful."

"Weirdo. My hair's a mess and I'm not even wearing any make-up—" you were interrupted when Jungkook suddenly leaned in and planted a chaste kiss on your lips. You blushed at the contact and he chuckled at your flushed expression.
