~ Lunch ~

Enjoying my sandwich alone at the rooftop while I gazed upon the magnificent sky, a small sigh escaped from my mouth.

I didn't feel like eating at the cafeteria today, since I knew Yerim and Jungkook were going to be there.

I had nothing against them.
It's just, I didn't want to witness the two of them together and be overwhelmed by jealousy like I was earlier.

Suddenly, the metal door right next to me vigorously opened, interrupting my peaceful lunch time.

I gradually looked up to see a breathless Jungkook, sweat trickling down the side of his face as he stared at me with an extremely relieved expression.

"There you are." He panted as he let out a deep, enervated sigh.

"Why were you looking for me?" I confusedly asked him.

"I wanted to eat lunch with you, so I looked all over the school for you. You have no idea how worried I was Seoyeon." He anxiously stated.

"S-Sorry." I apologized, feeling a bit guilty but happy at the same time at the fact that he was searching for me.

"God I'm exhausted." Jungkook said, tiredly leaning his back against the concrete wall as he slid down and situated himself right next to me.

Noticing the sandwich in my hand, his eyes instantly twinkled with sparkles.

"Can I have a bite?" He excitedly asked, eagerly staring at my sandwich like some ravenous rabbit.

With a devious grin gradually creeping onto my face, I gave him a small nod.

"Sure." I said, holding out my sandwich in front of him.

But as he widely opened his mouth to take a bite, I swiftly dodged him and curved the sandwich back to my mouth, taking another bite from it as I mockingly smirked at him.

"Come on~" He cutely whined, but I continued to taunt him by swaying my sandwich from left to right.

But suddenly, Jungkook grasped my hand with his, firmly positioning the sandwich in front of his mouth as he took a huge bite out of it.

Feeling his large hand embracing mine, my cheeks flared.

"Mmm~" He hummed in delight and satisfaction.

Seeing him genuinely smile from utter contentment made my lips curl up as well, my heart greatly fluttering from how adorable he was.

How can anyone not fall in love with such a lovable bunny?

Wait, I'm all alone with him right now.

No Yerim, no Hyeona, no one to interrupt me.

Maybe this is my chance to ask him who he has feelings for.

"Kookie, can I ask you a question?" I asked, receiving a casual "mhm" from him in return. 

"Do you like anyone?" I curiously questioned.

Jungkook was obviously taken back, but he slowly nodded in response with his face completely flushed into a crimson red color.

"Yeah, I do."

Hearing his answer, my heart instantly filled with great nervousness and thrill.

"Tell me." I eagerly pleaded, leaning in closer toward him with my eyes brightly lit up.

"W-Why would I tell you?" He nervously stuttered as he bashfully shifted his gaze away from mine, his entire face madly blushing up to the tip of his ears.

"Because I'm your bestest best friend." I mockingly stated with a wide grin displayed across my face, recalling him referring to me as that just a few days ago.

Letting out a sigh of defeat, he finally gave up.

"Fine..."

Secretly crossing my fingers like a little child, the hastening pulse of my heart loudly echoed through my entire body.

Who could it be?

What if it's Hyeona?

What if he's actually gay?

What if it turns out to be Jimin?

What if it's me?

Taking a deep breathe, Jungkook confessed.

"I like Yerim."

My heart shattered.

... What?

"Please please please don't tell anyone!" He earnestly pleaded, putting his hands together in prayer form in front of his face with his eyes tightly shut.

Weakly faking a smile, I gave him a small nod.

"Dont worry Kookie, your secret's safe with me."

"Thanks Seoyeon." He relievedly said, brightly smiling at me in appreciation.

Placing both hands on the ground, I forced myself up and stood on my feet.

"Sorry, I have to go. I forgot I had to help Taehyung with his homework." I lied, taking a step forward as I walked past him.

But suddenly, I was stopped by a tight grasp on my arm.

Although I really didn't want to, I gradually turned around to face Jungkook.

"You alright?" He worriedly questioned, probably assuming something was wrong from my strange behavior.

Gently taking my arm away from his, I gave him a broken smile.

"I'm fine."

And with that, I left him.

Shutting the metal door of the rooftop, I grievously leaned my back against the hard, concrete wall and crouched down on the floor with my knees tucked into my chest.

Placing both of my palms on my face, I sobbed.

Love sucks.

Love hurts.

Love takes hostages.

It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness.

Those words I was never anticipating to hear from Jungkook's very own mouth.

"I like Yerim"

His agonizing confession, the confession I really didnt want to hear.

It turned into a pernicious glass splinter, somehow working its way into my heart.

It fucking hurts.

I mean, most love scenarios would often end with two best friends finally realizing they had mutual feelings for each other all along, developing an innocent friendship into an affectionate relationship.

But it wasn't like that in my story.
