Chapter 3: Bond
"Oh come on kook! I need it... and I can't possibly go there by myself. I need your help~" Junghyun keeps on tailing Jungkook around. He's desperate and Jungkook is really not helping right now. Jungkook groans while sitting down on the couch.
"But hyung~ you can just use the thing we call Nets... just type something on your advanced tech, V5 and boom it appears. Why bother getting something called books?" Jungkook hands him his hand phone, the V5.
"As a respectful historian, I'd rather have my information from a valid and solid sources such as history books. I know they're old and outdated, people don't use them anymore. There's only a few of them left, please help me get it. I have to leave in exactly half an hour, if I don't I would do it myself. Please kook, I promised it will be last time you'll step your feet inside there" Junghyun pleads.
"*sigh* okay. Fine. But this is the last time. Seriously, there's a reason why they don't produce books anymore. Do you know what books are made of? Trees, we paid for planting trees nowadays, it's so fucking expensive to turn it into books. Besides, we have all the gadgets. There's no need for book anymore."
"Say what you want kook, but I believe our ancestors are still lucky to have books during their times."
Junghyun left shortly after that. He'll be leaving for two days for work and that left Jungkook alone at his apartment. Jungkook still couldn't believe that he's getting his feet at the national museum again. Junghyun even gave him his identity chip for him to borrow the books. Those books are government's treasure. Only historian are allowed to borrow the books, that's why Jungkook needs Junghyun's chips.
Speaking about chips, Jungkook remembers the chips that Yoongi hands him yesterday. He checks his cube and notices that the cube is still there. He takes the chips and connect it to his Pro-tel. there's two files inside the chip. One is an audio file and another is a written file. Jungkook opens the audio files and listens to the songs. He's amazed on how good Yoongi's and Namjoon's raps are. He got Goosebumps all over his body with the sick beats and lyrics. He notices that there's a gap between the two raps. Perhaps the written files is the lyrics for that part. He click open on it and tries to sing according to the beat. For the second time in his live, he never feels something like this before. As he started to sing, he can feel the emotions flowing inside his body, something he never felt before.
Jungkook froze for a second once the song ended. He never thought about this before. His body reacts so well towards the song, the lyrics. As if something inside him is alive, burning through his soul. Jungkook shuts the pro-tel off. He's scared. He's scared of himself. His mind starts to think of something else, what if he's turning into one of the 'capers' too? What if he got too caught up in his feelings and destroys himself afterwards?
Jungkook shakes his head, puts the chips back into his cube and gets ready to school.
---------------------------------------
"Have you heard about it?" Yugyeom takes his sits next to Mingyu. Class hasn't started yet, so they took this chance to chill around for a bit.
"Another strike? Man these 'capers' are so annoying!" Mingyu shakes his head, annoyed at the news.
"Well, that's one. Honestly, I don't see why they're protesting on advanced techs? It's not bad, not bad at all. In fact it's just a method for making our lives easier."
"But don't you think it's a little bit hard for the hybrids to keep up with these techs. I mean they're a bit 'different' right?" Mark said, trying his best to not trigger something among his friends.
"Well, they have to. Besides that's what we're learning. To help them coop with the advances techs."
Mark nods his head, agreed. Jungkook said nothing. His mind is a bit off right now. He couldn't decide what's right or wrong right now.
"Speaking of hybrids, I think one of Jung Hoseok's friend is a hybrid. A pure breed one." Yugyeom adds, his eyes widen in excitements.
"I wouldn't say I'm surprised. After all, three years ago, he's one of the most active participants in the demonstration for 'Hybrids' right'. Man, he's awesome back then. The way he fight for their rights are just—amazing." Mingyu nods his head in agreement.
"True, it's hard to find someone who fight that hard for someone else. Like, we're living in a century where people only think of themselves first." Jungkook agreed. He admires Hoseok to be honest. And to tell the truth, the main reason for him to choose this major is because of Hoseok. He made him realize how important it is to help someone that needs them. And right now, there's too few of people who's willing to help hybrids and that is so sad.
"Back to his hybrid friend. I met him yesterday! Boy I tell you, he's beautiful! Too beautiful! I was star-struck when I saw him yesterday. He's a transferred students here. Just came here yesterday and people are already talking about him." Yugyeom said with a smirk on his face. Obviously he's attracted to the said hybrid.
"I heard about that, but I haven't meet him yet. Is he really that beautiful? My roommate didn't stop talking about him. I'm tired of their praises over the hybrid." Mingyu rolls his eyes. Jungkook just smile and listen. He wasn't interested in that. Well, probably a little. Who wouldn't though? Jung Hoseok himself is the epitome of beauty and they said this hybrid is better looking than him? Jungkook definitely slightly curious about it. Keyword, slightly.
--------------------------------------------------------
".................. didn't expect you come here this fast. Come in"
Jungkook stands in front of Namjoon and Yoongi's apartment. He didn't even know why he's here. His body just naturally walks here. The next thing he knows is he's standing in front of their door. Jungkook bows at Namjoon and enters the apartment.
He spots Yoongi, typing something inside his tabs. He approaches him and sits right next to Yoongi while Namjoon sits across them.
"Have you listened to the track?" Yoongi asks. Jungkook nods his head, he places the chip on the table and look straight at Namjoon and Yoongi.
"I have a question."
Jungkook takes a deep breath. Both Namjoon and Yoongi wait for him to talk. They are a bit curious on what brings him to come over. By the look of Jungkook's face yesterday, he seems to object the ideas of having this kind of music.
"Sometimes, living for a day means that we're a step closer to death. A heart of love also means a step closer to being apart from each other." Jungkook stops for a while, inhales deeply.
"That's the lyrics that you gave me yesterday right? How do you—how do you manage to think about that? I mean, I doesn't make sense on how it clicks so well with the beats and—and it makes me feels something inside me. I don't know... I want to know! What is that feeling I feel?"
"I don't know. I guess you got to find it out by yourself. I just wrote something that I feel. Something that I really feel deep inside." Yoongi points to his heart.
"Teach me. Teach me how to sing that" Jungkook said, getting ready to learn and sing with them. At this point, he didn't care what's going to happen. The only thing he wants to know is that he want to understand the feelings that he felt when he listen to that song.
Jungkook spends the rest of the day with Namjoon and Yoongi. All those time teaches him something that he never experience before. Music and songs for soul, the various emotions inside him, and friendship. He never feels so—so close to someone like this before. Not even with his best friends.
"Life is amazing kook. Life itself teaches you a lot of things. How to live, how to feel. How to be you. It's a mysterious thing how human can feel those unexplainable emotions flowing through our body. We can't see them, we can't touch them, but we can feel them. It's there, inside our body."
"We learn to put those emotions inside a song. A song that can be feel by everyone. A song that can reach everyone's heart. That's our goal. That's our treasure." Yoongi smiles at Namjoon's word. He couldn't forget the first time he met Namjoon. These words are the reason why they're here, together making music. A real music.
"I want to learn. I want to feel the music too. All these time, I never thought about this. I only think of myself. What I should do, how I should dress, what are my responsibility and how to survive in this world. Somehow, I forgot how to really live. How to enjoy myself, how to be a person instead of a robot. And I guess people often forgot about that. We're too stuck with these fake world that we created. We thought that we helped enough. But the reality is we haven't do anything to make the world a better place. It's the same old us." Jungkook lies on his back. He stares at the clouds, floating around the city.
A thousand year ago, people couldn't even imagine to even touch the cloud. But now? People are actually living in floating cities, where we're able to beyond touching the clouds with our hands. The things that people dreams to have before are achieve by the people now. But one thing remains the same. No matter how high you climb, no matter what you achieved, you couldn't change anything if you haven't change yourself first.
