My Bestfriend is an Idol | JUNGKOOK Fanfiction

Chapter 22- Young Hearts

^^ JUNGKOOK ^^

I trudged up the mountain making sure not to fall back as I glanced at Shanshan, who was already ahead five meters from me and taking pictures of the forest. "Tss, until now, her passion for photography is within her."

"Faster, what's taking you so slow?" she turned to me before taking a snapshot of me.

I did another smile and a 'peace sign' with my fingers before she could take another picture. I fixed my backpack on my bag before pacing to her. She waited for me, then continued to walk with the camera in her hands.

I had been thinking about that comment last night. "Is it really impossible for a guy to stay friends with a girl without feeling anything for her?"

"There's our treehouse. We're here!" She exclaimed before facing me with a cheeky look, the flat clearing and a hint of the tree house' roof appearing before my eyes. "Wanna race?"

"If I win, the extra cup of noodles is mine," I said confidently.

"Ok. The winner gets to eat the extra ramen." She repeated as we both positioned ourselves. "One... two..."

"Three!"

We sprinted towards the treehouse while playing dirty tricks on each other. There was no way we played a game without cheating on each other. It always happens.

"Stay here! The ramen's mine!" Shanshan yelled as she clung to my backpack, pulling me back.

"That's what you think!" I laughed before tripping her with my legs.

"Ahh! You don't know how to treat a lady right!" She shouted on the ground.

I giggled to myself. Suddenly, Shanshan gripped my leg with her hands. "Get away from me, you sloth!" I yelped while trying to get her hands off.

"I'm not a sloth! Cause I'm fast enough to overtake a rabbit-like you!" She panted, locking her legs on mine. "AHAHAH! You can't get away!"

"Tickle!" I said before tickling her armpits.

"Ah- no! Stop! Hahaha! Stoooooop!" She jerked, trying to resist while I continued to tickle her with amusement.

Our laughter echoed through the forest, only us hearing our own screams and voices. Finally, the stupid sloth became tired and let go.

I winked at her with a sneer before pacing towards the treehouse with victory. I laughed in success, looking back to tease her. "Sloth!"

"You didn't win. You cheated!" She replied, walking towards me while catching her breath.

I smiled, wiping a bead of sweat from my forehead. "This brings back our old memories."

^^ SHANSHAN ^^

We climbed up the ladder as soon as our breaths calmed down. It has been a habit for us to visit our little treehouse each time we go home to Busan. Just like in the old days, we love to go to this small hideout, providing us a healing space and relaxation. I was glad, very very glad, that the things I used to do with him during our childhood were still what we are doing. I am overwhelmed that he is still my best friend, my family. There's nothing more I want to ask.

"Noodles for you," Jungkook spoke behind me, who was already done preparing our snack.

I left the window and took a cup of noodles from the table. I settled myself on the single bed and started to eat too.

"Whoah, this tastes so gooood!" He tried to speak with his mouth stuffed with spicy food.

"What should we do later?" I asked. "We only have a few hours left before returning to Seoul."
