# First Love
_
Gaon, who had been playing with the hamster doll that had been on Jungkook's bed for a while, got up from the bed and headed to the living room. As expected, Gaon's hunch was right. Jungkook, who said he would be home soon, was pressing the front door password, and Gaon quickly ran back to Jungkook's room and landed on the bed rather violently.
Ring, safe. Gaon, who managed to jump into bed before the door opened, lay still on the bed so that Jungkook could find him. Meanwhile, Jungkook, who came home, immediately looked for Gaon.
"Kim Ga-on! Where are you?"
"Kim Ga..!"
"Okay... here...."
"Are you okay? Wasn't it because you went out to run errands in that hot weather earlier?"
"Dong-geul... I'm sick..."
"Where does it hurt?!"
Seeing the female protagonist lying on her bed, hugging her doll tightly and frowning, it didn't seem like she was faking it. Jungkook's already wide eyes grew even more serious.
"My heart keeps pounding fast..."
"My eyes started spinning and my face started to flush..."
"I don't have a fever."
Jungkook suddenly placed his hands on Gaon's forehead and then his own. After a while, Jungkook confirmed that Gaon's forehead was free of fever, and finally sighed in relief. His round eyes returned to their original size.
Well, there was a reason why Jungkook suddenly started overreacting whenever Gaon said he was sick. The reason goes back to when Jungkook and Gaon were in 5th grade.

It was an unusually hot day, so Gaon, who suffered from the heat easily, looked for more ice cream than usual. Jeongguk, who was watching him with pity, eventually showed Gaon the refrigerator that was full of ice cream, and Gaon, who was only in the 5th grade of elementary school, ate almost all of the ice cream.
That afternoon, Gaon came down with a fever and stomachache from all that ice cream, and while playing with Jungkook, he collapsed and was taken to the emergency room. From that day on, Jungkook felt guilty for telling Gaon where the ice cream was, and whenever Gaon complained of pain, he would always check for a fever.
"Donggul... I think it's probably because of that person..."
"That person..?"
".... taehyung"
"what?"
"taehyoung kim!"
"Kim Seok-jin's friend, I think I've fallen for him..."
Gaon's eyes sparkled as he began to ramble on about Taehyung, whom he'd seen earlier. Jungkook, who had been listening silently, seemed to be getting tired of it, and suddenly stood up, banging his hand on the desk.
- Bang.
"evil!"
"Hey, what's wrong?!"
"Iced tea... would you like some?"
"No, if you're going to ask that, just stand up..."
"Are you going to drink?"
"Uh uh... okay"
As soon as Gaon answered, Jeongguk immediately left the room and headed to the kitchen. Gaon couldn't understand Jeongguk's behavior, and he muttered as Jeongguk abruptly stood up and straightened the chair that had fallen over.
"What's wrong with him.."

Gaon, who had been concerned about Jungkook's strange behavior since earlier, quietly approached Jungkook in the kitchen and hugged him from the waist down in order to let him go.
"Hey, Jeon Dong-geul, you're hiding from me... Aaaah!!!"
There was a reason Gaon suddenly screamed. As Gaon grabbed Jungkook's waist, Jungkook, who was making iced tea, pushed Gaon away from behind, causing Gaon to fall backwards. Realizing it was Gaon who had grabbed his waist, Jungkook immediately turned around and grabbed Gaon, who was about to fall. Gaon, barely unscathed, grumbled instead.
"Are you crazy? What's wrong with you??"
"What do you want me to do if you suddenly hug my waist there?!"
"...Are you mad at me right now?"ย
In the suddenly solemn atmosphere, Jeongguk let go of Gaon's hand, and Gaon looked only at Jeongguk, as if tears were already welling up in his eyes.
Jeongguk, who was blankly looking at Gaon who was looking at him like that, brushed his hair back, handed Gaon some iced tea, and left the kitchen.
"No, that's not what I meant... this is not it"
"No, take this."
"Hey, where are you going?!"
Gaon's eyes were filled with tears, as if dripping from chicken droppings, as he yelled at Jeongguk, who had left him alone in the kitchen. Why had their relationship suddenly become like this?
๐ It's a bit late, but Happy New Year to you all~๐
