21. Awkward
3RD PERSON's POV
"Guys, a holiday break is coming up." Jin tried to catch all of the group's attention.
"Should we go somewhere together?"
"I don't think I can, I have so much homework to do over the break." Hobi sadly stated.
"I might go to Gwangju." Joohee commented.
"Can I come with you??" Taehyung excitedly asked.
"Nope." J-nope replied instead and the other guy pouted.
"I'm going back to Busan to visit my family." Jungkook responded.
"You're copying me again!" Jimin exclaimed.
"I wanted to go to Busan before you."
"You copies what I do these days. I was born in Busan first then you was born in Busan." Jungkook could only laugh at his hyung's silliness.
"I guess only you and I can go somewhere together this holiday break, hyung." Namjoon smiled.
"What about Yoongi then?" The oldest boy asked.
"Is he even here?"
"He's probably with Jihye noona now." Hobi replied.
"She's his girlfriend after all."
"What??!" The rest of group yelped except for Joohee who just wanted to rest. She wanted a moment of peace in her mind.
"He didn't tell you guys?" Hoseok asked.
"Yeah, they started dating."
"Yah." Jimin slightly hit her shoulder.
"You alright?"
Joohee nodded.
"Look hyung!" Jungkook pointed to the couple who just walked inside the cafeteria. The group looked to see the two walking closer to the table. The girl was smiling brightly while the guy was emotionless as always.
"Don't tell me she's going to sit here with us..." Namjoon mumbled.
"Hi guys!" Jihye greeted all the guys, except for the other girl. Yoongi sigh before sitting down in his usual seat. He try to nicely tell the girl that they should not hang out together during this time, but she still insisted to come.
"H-hi noona!" The guys let out an awkward smile as Jihye sat beside Yoongi. Everything was so sudden that Bts didn't know how to react.
Joohee look up to be greeted by the hateful look by Jihye. The atmosphere of the table is now quiet and awkward.
Jimin sometimes would take glances at Joohee, making sure that she is alright.
*She's acting weird today, too.* Yoongi observed the lifeless girl across the table. She kept stabbing the piece of tomato on her plate and look at it without eating. Joohee didn't want to eat anyway, it's the first time since years that she lost her appetite.
"Anyway hyung, where are you guys planning to go?" Jimin asked Jin and Namjoon, finally breaking the silence.
"Honeymoon probably?" Hobi laughed as he teased the two.
"We don't know yet..." Jin and Namjoon answered.
"How about you guys come with me and Jungkook to Busan?" Jimin offered.
"You can come too if you want, Joohee."
"Or come to Daegu with me~" Taetae smiled.
Joohee give a weak smile before responding "I already told you guys that I'm going to Gwa-"
"Daegu? Yoongi-ah, isn't that your hometown?" Jihye interrupted.
"You should take me there!"
"Oh, maybe some other time." Yoongi relied while the other Bts guys look at frozen Joohee awkwardly.
"I can't go..." Joohee quietly spoked then going back to being dead inside.
"What about you hyung! Any plan?" Hoseok nudge Yoongi on the arm. He accidentally use too much force that it makes the food on the spoon Yoongi was holding spill on his long sleeve.
"Oh no." Jihye urgently grabbed the napkin nearby with one hand and Yoongi's sleeve with the other.
The others could only look in bewildered at the sight in front of them.
"What's wrong with our table today." Jin said under his breath.
"I don't think I can eat anymore." Jungkook murmured.
"Are you okay?" Jihye diligently wiped off the stain of his sleeve, purposely holding his hand in the process. Yoongi tries to take his hand back because he knows the members must be so uncomfortable. Heck, he's a thousand more times more uncomfortable then them.
"I'm leaving." Joohee abruptly stood up and swung the backpack over her shoulders. She couldn't handle what she's seeing right now.
Nobody caught the grin on Jihye, it was the exact reaction she's looking for.
"Where are you going?" Yoongi asked and that wiped off the little smile off his girlfriend's face.
"Fresh air, I never know this cafeteria can be so suffocating." With that she left with out a single glance at the table.
"She's right." Hoseok secretly commented.
"Well," Jimin give an eye smile as he stood on his feet too.
"I think I need some fresh air, too."
"See you guys after school!" Jimin grabbed his backpack and followed Joohee's footsteps.
".........can I leave too?" Jungkook sighed.
"What's wrong with her?" Namjoon worriedly questioned.
"Maybe it's that time of the month again. Sometime girls get moody when it happen." Jin answered.
Yoongi look as her figure slowly fades away. His gaze then change its direction to her empty chair. He hoped that what Jin said was right and that Joohee will go back to being her normal self soon because he missed the true Joohee.
She's been acting different nowadays and Yoongi have no idea why. He doesn't even understand why it would affect him this much, but he hoped everything will go back to normal very soon.

"I finally found you!" Jimin panted in between his words. He's been searching around for 10 minutes and successfully spotted the girl sitting in the baseball field
"Yah!" He tried to catch his breath.
"You're not crying right?"
"No...." She sighed.
"I'm already done with the water work."
"Why are you here anyway?" Jimin sat down beside her.
"I'm trying to see other people like you said." Joohee's eyes focused on guys running on the field.
"The baseball players are good looking aren't they?"
"Poor thing." Jimin chuckled.
"I feel bad for you."
"I feel bad for myself too." She pouted.
"But why did you follow me?"
"I thought you might need someone to comfort you. After all, I'm the only one who know you like him."
"Oh... thanks I guess." She sighed again.
"Jimin." Joohee called.
"You're such a liar."
"What? How am I a liar?!"
"Didn't you said I have a chance with him? What chance!" She faked a cry.
"I was caught in your lie all this time. I never have a chance in the first place."
"Well... I guess if that hyung wasn't so dense then that chance could've happened. It's too late now." Jimin shrugged.
"I know." Joohee pulled the grass out off the ground out of frustration.
"Actually, it's not too late!" Jimin changed his mind.
"They won't last long anyway."
"Now you're just talking nonsense."
"No, for real! I can tell because I was friends with her ex-boyfriend. Base on what he said about her, I bet Yoongi can't handle her craziness for long."
"Oh! I think I met that guy before!" Joohee recall what happened that time in the library.
"But even if they break up, I don't think Yoongi will like me. Arghhh I have to see other people quickly to get over with this dumb feelings!"
"If you decided to do that then you don't have to look far away." Jimin charismatically run his fingers through his hair.
"You can date me."
".......... Jimin, do you like me or something." She give him a suspicious look.
"Nope."
"Then why are you willing to help me like that?" Joohee asked.
"Because I have a big heart and willing to sacrifice my single status to help a poor girl like you." Jimin chuckled.
"Just kidding, I'll help you because I see you as a friend. I'm pretty sure the other members would do the same if they know your situation."
"Thank you Jimin, you're actually not just a teasing asshole like I thought." Joohee replied.
"But no thanks, your fangirls would probably bury me alive."
