Since the moment you learned to crawl, the two of you have been inseparable—literally. Your bond began long before either of you could even remember, as your mothers were best friends in high school and unexpectedly got pregnant at the same time. They liked to joke about how unplanned it all was, but in a way, their pregnancies set the foundation for your unshakable friendship.

Growing up, you did absolutely everything together. From late-night talks on rooftops to pulling pranks on your mothers, from standing up for each other in tough situations to sneaking out late at night—you were each other's partner in crime. You even shared your first taste of alcohol together, and honestly, you still do. There's nothing the two of you haven't experienced side by side.

But there's a shift in the air, something Jungkook can't ignore anymore, no matter how hard he tries. Over the years, his feelings for you have deepened into something much more than friendship. He's tried to suppress it, to push it aside, but it's impossible when everything about you captivates him. He notices every little detail—the way strands of your hair dance in the wind, the way your eyes light up when you see those flowers you love, your ability to listen to the same song on repeat without getting bored (even though it drives him crazy), and the way you shyly tuck your hair behind your ear when you're embarrassed.

Tonight is one of those familiar Friday night gatherings, a tradition your mothers started years ago. While they sip wine and exchange stories about the week, you and Jungkook find ways to entertain yourselves. His large hand ruffles your hair, leaving it in a messy tangle as your eyes remain glued to the cartoon playing on the TV. With a playful grin, he leaps onto the couch beside you, landing with all the grace of a clumsy animal. "I told you to stop watching Pokémon episodes without me, but when do you ever listen?" he mutters, rolling his eyes. Without hesitation, he snatches the bag of chips from your hand and shoves a handful into his mouth, crumbs scattering as he chews. Moments like these feel natural, easy, and yet, for Jungkook, they're laced with emotions he's struggling to contain.
