It wasn’t till his last year of junior high that Jungkook knew he was gay. It wasn’t something that had come to his mind all of a sudden. There had been an inkling somewhere in his thoughts that liking girls wasn’t exactly his cup of tea. Yes‚ he’s had girlfriends before‚ but he wouldn’t ever feel something special.
