3rd POV:

"Jungkook this is my best friend, Ji....."


 "Hyung", Tae was cut off by Jungkook's rather impatient voice who was looking at Jimin with wide eyes just like a child who got his favorite toy back, but what he did next made their mouth touch the floor.

 He jerked Jimin towards him, making his eyes wide with confusion and surprise and hugged him like his life depend upon it.

 "Hyung, I am so glad I found you this soon. I missed you so much", he continue to hug the smaller making his lungs practically deprived of oxygen.

 "Y-ywe are klrushin me", came a muffled response from top of his chest where the younger face was practically squished against his muscular thorax.

 "Heheehe, Sorry Hyung", Jungkook hesitantly let go of the smaller while rubbing his neck sheepishly. 

"I am sorry but who are you?" Jimin was really confused why this bunny looking boy was giving him a full toothy grin, which to be honest, was creeping him out.

 His sentence made the light on Jungkook face dim a bit.

 "Remember this Hyung?" he took out a necklace clasped around his neck showing it to him. 

Jimin eyes widen at seeing a silver necklace similar to his, making him unconsciously take out his own from his neck, "No way", Jimin though in his head. 

Jungkook eyes glittered seeing the similar necklace in possession of the later.

 "I kept my promise Hyung, I am back, I came back for you", he said pulling the latter into another bone crushing hug.

 "Ummm, can we know what exactly is going on here", Jin said confused of what was happening in front of him. 

"Can I have a moment with you alone Hyung", Jungkook said with puppy eyes ignoring Jin's question. 

Before he could answer, Jungkook took it as a yes and took Jimin's wrist in his hands dragging him out of the cafeteria making a number of people turn their attention towards them. 

Jungkook dragged him all the way towards the backside of the building that was completely unoccupied.

 He let of Jimin's hand, now fully facing him anticipating his "Hyung's" reaction to his return who was frozen in his place with wide eyes and a slight scared expression.

 "Jihan Hyung, can't you recognize your Kookie", Jungkook said with a slight pout.

" No way that he was back now after all this time, and did he call me "Jihan", of course, he mistook me for Hyungiee", Jimin's head was spinning with thoughts. 

"J-Jungkook, are you J-jeon J-jungkook???" Jimin said with wide eyes praying that he was wrong, praying that he wasn't who think he was. 

He could see the younger nod his head eagerly extending his bunny grin if it was possible.

 Jimin didn't know how to react; he was confused, hesitant and somewhat sacred. 

This boy standing in front of him was back after ten years in his life and the worst was that he had mistaken him for his brother. 

He didn't know What to say, what to do?

 Why does his fate loves to play with him? 

He had left every old memory of himself back in Busan but the very living reminder came back to haunt him once again. 

What will be his reaction when he will know that he is not Jihan but Jimin?

 What will he do when he'll know that the one he is looking for, that the one he is eager to see died five years ago?

 Should he tell him the truth or play along? 

But can he really tell him and take away this smile that he was loving on the younger's face right now?

 He only had memories of the younger looking at him with hatred and disgust, never did he ever gave him a smile and he was loving the fact that for the very first time he was giving him a full wide grin, and it was all just for him. 

He felt scared of what he might do finding out the truth that the person in front of him right now is Jimin, the one he despised greatly in his childhood. Will he change his attitude this time or will it get worse?

 A part of him was glad that he was back.

 He did forget about the younger these past years since too much has happened and he wanted to leave behind the horrid memories of his past but still he couldn't deny the fact that he was ecstatic to have this boy back in his life even though he didn't have any happy memories associated with him, but his presence alone made him happy, but another part of him that dominated his thoughts was terrified of him finding out about Jihan because that means more resent and hatred from him. 

In the end, he decided to tell him the truth, no matter how hard it was for him to say, 

"I.....I am n-not Ji.....", before he could finish his sentence Jungkook interrupted him.

 "Do you know how much I missed you these past years? Each and every day I counted the minutes that I spent away from you. I was all alone Hyung, I didn't have any friends. All I had in London was your memories and hope that soon I will come back and see you again and see.... Here you are standing in front of me more beautiful than ever", Jungkook words were making his heart swell.

 He couldn't muster up the courage to complete his sentence, and "Did he just called me "beautiful" a sight blush crept along his cheeks. 

He felt, even more, conflicted hearing the younger's words.

 should he tell him, should he not?

He didn't want to deceive the younger but his heart wanted to be selfish, just for this once.

 What worse could happen anyway when he will find out the truth, he hated Jimin once, he will hate him again but at least he will get to have his attention just this once, even if it is for a moment. 

"I.......kook- Jung-kook, I....... I am glad that you are back", Jimin finally said it with a wide smile on his face. 

"I really missed you too kookie", he lied right on his face although he felt guilty but, "won't it be worse to tell him the truth", he reasoned with himself.

 "I missed you a lot", he said practically forcing those words out of his mouth. 

He didn't know how much longer this role play of his will turn out, but for the time being, he decided to play along.

 What worse could happen, right?

A/N: I feel like I kinda dissappointed you with this chapter, I wrote it a while ago and I didn't feel satisfied with it but at the same time I didn't want much to happen to soon since it is important for the plot.

Apologies :/ :/

Love you all <3 <3 <3
