Aria

Time skip of about two weeks

Nothing much had really happened the past two weeks, other than usual classes and Jungkook always next to me. 

Tuai and Taehyung sat with us during lunch almost every day and I struggled not to watch them, always turning my head and watching Jungkook speak even if I didn't fully hear what he said. 

He hadn't made a move on me since the time he kissed me in my 'sleep', and I was beginning to get a little disappointed. Did I have feelings for him? 

I still hadn't heard from Lua, nor seen her too often. I'd catch a glimpse of her during the switching of classes, her hand clasping Hyei's who'd always stumble to keep up. 

I guessed she'd forgotten about me, the thought instantly saddening me. She hadn't even come back to our suite in a long time. 

I'd occasionally hear her come in during the middle of the night, slowly collecting more and more of her belongings. Now, it was almost empty on her side save for her bed and a few scarves. 

What did I do wrong to her? 

After my last class, our one week break began. No classes for an entire week, some kind of thing to allow the professors and facilitators prepare for special classes. 

I was walking outside to meet Kook by the "Friendship Tree" as our school liked to call it. It was a huge, very old oak tree situated in the center of the student union. 

Branches of the tree curled to the ground, its leaves shielding off the majority of the area as if it was a cavern. 

There were a few hammocks set up on the branches, hidden from the outside. I caught site of Jungkook and quickened my pace, not liking the way the sun felt on my skin. 

As I got closer to him, I turned my gaze a little to two blurry figures pressed against each other under the leaves. 

My heart beat quickened as I recognized one of the voices, Jungkook grabbing my arm before I pushed my way under. 

He didn't stop me all the way and I dropped my bag when my eyes met with the view before me. Lua and Hyei were intimately pressed against each other, Hyei kissing and sucking all over my best friend's neck. 

"Wh.. What the hell?" I gasped out, my eyes wide. They jumped apart, obviously shaken, and Lua went to reach for me. 

"Is this why you've been ignoring me? You're ditching your best friend for someone to makeout with? Or maybe you thought I wouldn't accept your sexuality?" I nearly yelled, inching my way back away from her. 

Lua's face was red and she quickly shook her head, trying to move closer to me. "No no, that's not why!" she exclaimed, tears springing from her eyes. 

I turned and pushed the leaves of the branches away, spotting Jungkook who was waiting there for me. I grabbed his hand and tried tugging him away from this place when I felt someone gripping my shoulder. 

"What?!" I shouted, turning and coming face-to-face with Hyei. She looked down ashamedly and reached my bag out towards me. 

"You dropped this.." she murmured, not meeting my eyes. I grabbed it from her and closed my eyes, trying to understand why my own best friend wouldn't trust me with something as important as her own sexuality. 

"Why didn't she tell me that she just didn't want to be around me?" I whispered, my eyes finally opening to look at Hyei's face. 

She sighed, reaching back to scratch her neck. "It's not that she didn't trust you, Aria.." she looked genuinely troubled as she nervously bit her lip, almost like she didn't want to tell me. 

"What is it, then?" I asked, sick of being kept out of my own best friend's life. 

"She was in love with you, Aria.. I'm helping her stop the pain.."

Jungkook and I were sitting in my room now, me in my desk chair and him lying in my bed on his side, gazing at me. 

I fiddled with my fingers before smiling at him, tilting my head down to rest it on my own shoulder. 

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I whispered, smiling shyly. He just shook his head and smiled, almost stopping my heart, "Just because I can." 

I didn't want to talk about what happened with Hyei and Lua, I felt somehow betrayed by them both.

 I get that Lua had feelings for me, but she should've at least trusted me enough to tell me something about it. I wouldn't have just ditched her, I would've accepted her. 

I do admit that I don't have any sort of romantic feelings for her, but she was still my friend and I treasured her dearly. I sighed, obviously too distracted by my own thoughts to notice Jungkook on his knees in front of the chair I sat in. 

My feet were on the edge of the seat with my knees pulled to my chest, my arms around them. He grasped my wrists and pulled them away from my knees, next grabbing my ankles and pulling them down so that I was sitting normally in my desk chair to catch my attention. 

I blushed as my shorts rode up a little, revealing the pure sugar colored skin of my lower thighs. Jungkook ran his hands up and down my calves before pushing them over my knees and to my thighs, gripping them a little too tightly. 

He rose a bit and I opened my knees a little to allow room for his body. His nose touched my chin and he gently kissed it as he rubbed his thumbs against my knees. 

"Why don't you call me Kookie anymore?" he asked, leaning down to brush his nose against the curve of my throat. "It was a cute little nickname, I miss it.." he pouted which made him look even cuter. 

"I only called you it once," I teased, biting my lower lip to ignore the shivers piercing my skin at the feel of his nose on my neck. 

"But I miss it.." he whined, finally raising his head to look at me. "Fine fine, Kookie.." I grinned, rolling my eyes. 

He gripped my thighs more in his hands and roughly pulled them, making me sink in my seat and push my body closer to his. 

"I like you.." he whispered, leaning down to softly kiss the tip of my nose. "Why don't you like me?" he whispered again and I tried my hardest not to moan as he pressed his lips to my neck. 

"I-I do.." I managed to say, the "ooo" dragging on a bit longer than necessary. I felt him smile against my skin, kissing my neck once more before pulling back to look at me. 

"Be mine, then?" he asked softly, grinning at me when I nodded. He finally came down all the way and kissed me square on the mouth, allowing me to finally taste those lips that I've come to adore.
