It was Saturday and Jungkook spend all his time in the school’s library surprisingly.

He wasn’t that fond of reading books—he was the type of guy who prefers movies than books. Too much words confused him, English wasn’t too bad but being out of his own homecountry for too long made him very muchly confused when reading things in Korean. Sometime he justs forgets the characters or even switched them around, they’re just too hard for him. Writing doesn’t do him justice too, it’s as hard as reading. Even in texting he writes it first in romaji and his smartphone would translate it to hangul—which obviously makes a confusion when the hangul doesn’t go the way he wants it.

But right now he was busy typing things into the library’s computer, trying to be quiet as possible. Yesterday’s event with the school’s president made him curios about the basketball club. He also noticed back when he mentioned that he’s applying to the club, Hoseok has stared at him like he had just murdered someone and Taehyung’s visible stiffness with the way he gripped his blankets. Not only that, since Taehyung avoided him there’s a lot of rumors going around that passed his ears. Although it was moostly involving the taller boy ‘realizing his ’ and ‘cursed nobody’, he had a feeling that it connected to the club somehow.

Jungkook whispered a yes in a sign of victory as the monitor in front of him displayed the result of his search, listing the club’s history from the school files stored in the computer. There was indeed a basketball club in the school, but the files somehow stopped since last year. He concluded that they stopped at that time.

The files was mostly just a list of activities that they have done—their achievement, participations and a brief history of how the basketball club. Although it did mention that the club acts as the town’s official U19 basket team and it’s association with a middle school nearby called 247 Private Middle School, Jungkook felt that he needed more information. He needed to know the past members if they were still there, and what happened to them.

It was small, but Jungkook noticed a small link under the text—which he noticed as a ‘More Info’ tab. Almost squealing in excitement, the boy clicked it but only to found a list of text, and a short row of where the club hard files are stored. Still filled with hope, he quickly jotted down the location which was actually in the library too—the last row of the library’s book cupboard to be precise. Noticing that it’s getting noon and how he promised his mom to cook dinner together in celebrating her new job as a nurse in a hospital not far from his school, he closed all the tabs he had opened ans swiftly turning off the computer.

As the computer shutted down, he didn’t waste any time. He quickly walked to the place—which located in the very back of the library, abruptly trying to find the right shelf. When he opened a shelf with a newspaper containing the headline ‘BH High Once Again Swept U19 Busan Winter Basketball Games’, he knew he hit the jackpot. Scanning his surroundings and turning his head around him as he make sure no one is around so he wouldn’t get caught, he slowly took out the shelf from it’s place and carefully placed it on the floor, squatting as he rummaged through the wooden box.

He found a lot of things. Photos of past members, newspaper clippings about the achievement and an article of how the club’s had been once Busan’s pride—he reads it all and made him confused. If the basketball club was that great, why did it suddenly disbands?

When he took out most of the contents, he found a small book that looked more like a photo album too him. It might be not, because when he opened it, most of the contents are writings. It started with the club’s history, a message from the former club teacher, and finally—,

“No way...,”

—a list of past members and current member.

He scanned his eyes through the list. There was names of the member since 1996—he thougth that’s probably the time the club started. Most of the names was foreign to him, that was normal because in the matter of factly he has ever stayed in his hometown 2 years the longest. Even though his family and him always makes tim to visit the town back and forth from LA, he still doesn’t know things going on here.

His eyes perked with interest when he suddenly sees a familiar name in the 3 years before the current year.

Min Yoongi’s name was listed at the very last of the list just after a name that he didn’t know—Kim Seokjin, with a trainee written in the brackets beside both of their name.

Not expecting that the blonde boy that he had been following for the past days to show up, he reads further down.

As the club members kept adding through the year, he gasped in disbelieve as he reads the last year that was written.

He almost feel like he’s gooing to be more confused as he sees the contents of the brackets beside the year.

2015-2016 (Current Members)

Main Team:

Jung Hoseok

Kim Namjoon

Kim Seokjin

Min Yoongi

Park Jimin

Kim Taehyung (in Association with 247 Private Middle School)

All of the names—with an exception of Kim Seokjin, who he still don’t know—has involved with him, and it suddenly makes sense why there’s a lot of odd things with their interaction. Taehyung’s sudden coldness with Hoseok and Jimin and his quarell with Namjoon was almost too personal. He also didn’t forget on how Yoongi glared on Namjoon like he had just killed his family. Jungkook is a little oblivious with his surroundings, but the tense between them was too noticable.

Shaking his head, he refused to believe the names in the list. It could be just anyone with the same name—the school has a lot of students and the names written there wasn’t really a list of rare names. As he turned the page, he saw something like an album divider, written in big letters the word of ‘photos’ was plastered there.

He took no time to waste, he quickly opened it and turning it to the very end, not bothering with the past members. As he sees the year began to come closer he slowed down.

And he was met with a really familiar face—even though not so with his hair.

There was a group photo plastered in the page. At the very right end of the front row, stood a smiling Min Yoongi—which looked really foreign to Jungkook because he had never seen the older smile—with soft fluffy black hair, with a brown haired boy who was a little taller than him beside him doing the same expression.

Out of patience, Jungkook turned to the very last entry of the book as the book wasn’t finished. A big photo was sticked, a familiar silver-haired boy stood in the middle with a smile on his face while holding a throphy. There were other boys surrounding him, also with the same expression. The photo was obviously taken after celebrating a victory.

He stared at the photo in disbelievement. Namjoon, the silver-haired boy was smiling with his dimples sticking out and Hoseok has his hand circling the boy’s neck, with Jimin embracing his other arm. Yoongi was ruffling Taehyung’s hair while sending a peace sign and standing at Namjoon’s right. There was once again, a brown haired boy in the photo (who Jungkook assumed as Kim Seokjin) standing beside Taehyung while he half back hugged the boy.

It was unbelieveable—they looked so happy in the photo and comparing on how they are right now, it almost like they were a whole bunch of other people.

Gulping, he secretly took a photo of it with his handphone. He also noticed there was a caption below the photo.

‘Jinnie-Taetae-Suga-Moni-Hobi-Chimchim, 2015.04.19-Forever!!’

‘Ironic,’ Jungkook thought, ‘There was no forever,’

He carefully closed the book and puts it back in the wood shelf, tidying up in a sign that he’s content with what he found.

As he finally finished tidying everything like it never been opened before, Jungkook sighed. Now what? He knows wanted the basketball club to be back, but seeing on how the past members interacts with each other now... There must have been something happened and he’ll feel guilty if he just rudely popped up to one of them and asked them about the problem. That would be just inconsiderate of him.

It was still August and Summer Games has just ended as he bla

Chapter 35: This is one of the best fanfics I've ever read. It's rare to see a story that's focusing on friendship, slice of life and a hint of angst with no romance or even a hint of it. You are really a great author who made this fantastic story. I salute you.
