(OC - Seoyeon)

We weren't necessarily together, and he wasn't necessarily my ex.

But when I saw him again after years of breaking off a 'fake' relationship, I was beginning to remember why I fell in love with him in the first place.

I felt like we were together, and he was my ex. But to him, I was just an old enemy, just a memory that was bound to be forgotten.

I chuckled to myself, how stupid was I?

It was true. Having to pretend to be someone's girlfriend was probably the worst decision I have made in my whole entire life, but in the end, I didn't regret falling in love with him in the process.

I frowned, so stupid.. so stupidly in love with you. And I still am. Still so stupid.

A year earlier...

Jeon Jungkook.

You could practically describe him in any different way. He was the school favourite, the guy who made all the girls fall head over heels for him just by the way he smiled or the way he walked down the halls, or just by the way he was. He was your average student who passed classes with average grades, and hung out with average classmates.

But he wasn't really an average teen when it came to love. He was a fucking professional.

The funny thing is, he's only been in one relationship.

One relationship, and he was considered the charming boy who brought his girlfriend tons of flowers and chocolates whenever she entered into the school hallways. He was considered the boy who was in too deep in his relationship, and it worried some of the girls who were practically following him wherever he went.

Why? All because 1. he was in way too deep in his first relationship, 2. he's was extremely in love with his girlfriend, and 3. if they broke up, Jungkook would be a huge life wreck, and everyone knew it.

But I didn't care. Heck, I'm not even friends with the school favourite or the guy who made all the girls fall head over heels for him just by the way he smiled or the way he walked down halls. I'm not friends with the average student who passed classes with average grades, and hung out with average classmates called myfriends.

He was an enemy. Not an ally, but an enemy.

I hate Jeon Jungkook. And there's no reason I could find just to like him one slight bit.

Why? Because 1. he's a fucking jerk, 2. he think he's all that, and 3. he's a fucking jerk who thinks he's all that.

I remember the two of us being childhood friends, we went way back since the time we were still in diapers.

But I also remember that time where we were the best of friends in our early 10s, and he practically bullied and embarrassed me in front of the whole seventh grade. Sure, he was my best friend, I guess.

I remember those nasty words he called me, and they left a pretty deep cut in my heart. This is probably the reason as to why he's a fucking jerk. I also remember him picking on me right after, trying to show everyone that he was better than I was, his ex-best friend. Another reason as to why he's a fucking jerk who thinks he's all that.

I guess I've rambled too much, but we've come to a conclusion as to why we're enemies and will be forever, right?

"Seoyeon, have you heard the rumors going around lately?" I glanced towards my friend, Bora, who was whispering through my ear.

I shook my head, "no, but if it has to do with—"

"Jungkook and Haeun are reaching their boiling point in their relationship, do you know what that means?!" Bora whispered excitedly, and I felt my eyes roll back to it's sockets just by how annoyed I was already beginning to feel.

"Does it look like I care?" I blankly stared at her and she pouted her lips. "You do know that I don't, don't you?"

She sighed, before placing her head on the desk, looking outside the window with a dreamily look on her face. "You know, if they break up, that only means that Taehyung loses the bet and we can go out on a date."

My eyes widened and I felt my lips tug into a smile, "you guys made a bet on their relationship?!"

"It was the only thing I could do just to go on a date with him," she chuckled, before shrugging her shoulders and smirking. "But it sure was a good strategy. Date with Taehyung, here I come!"

"You sneaky little brat," I giggled and she placed her chin on the palm of her hand.

"You know, if you and Jungkook end up together, I think you guys would look cute." She teased, poking my cheek.

"You know, if you continue teasing me with this shit, I think I'll be so close to punching you." I leaned in and poked her cheek back. "Seriously, Bora? That's never going to happen."

"You never know.." She grinned, her eyes leaving mine as they looked at the door, starting to widen like beads. "O-Omo.. what happened to lover boy?"

I scrunched my nose in confusion, turning around to see none other than Jungkook looking like a life wreck. I bit my lip to contain the laughter that was bubbling up inside of me. I guess we were all right, Jungkook would become a huge life wreck if he breaks up with his girlfriend, which I'm sure he did.

"I guess lover boy's heart got broken." I giggled and Bora playfully slapped me. "Ow! What was that for?!"

"Don't jinx it, or else I'm not going on a date with Taehyung!" She exclaimed, her eyes never leaving the lost and sad Jungkook who was slowly making his way towards his seat. "What happened to him? His eye bags are darker than mine.."

"Does it look like I know what happened to him? Heck, does it look like I care?" I rolled my eyes, opening my textbook and flipping to the new math lesson that we were going to learn today.

"Come on, Seoyeon, he's your best friend—"

"Ex-best friend. Get it right!" I hissed, sending her a death glare. "Just because we were your so-called 'best friends', doesn't mean that I'll end up caring for him again."

She glanced at me with a surprised look on her face, "so you did have a point in your life where you cared for him, hm?"

I shook my head, "I never cared for him, only when we were best friends, and that's that."

"Geez, that sucks." She sighed, before looking back at Jungkook who was playing with his couple bracelet that was loosely tied around his wrist. "O-Omo! He broke it!"

I looked over to Jungkook to see him ripping off the bracelet from his wrist and throwing it to the ground, the beads flying everywhere and the only thing left was the leather bracelet sitting right beside his shoe.

"I think they did break up.." She trailed off, a frown on her face changing into a grin. She looked at me with a cheeky smile, "guess who's going on a date tomorrow night?"

~~~

Funny thing that Bora ended up going on a date with Taehyung. The funnier thing was that the two of them ended up having a great time, and Taehyung was surprised to change his mind about Bora being a huge weirdo.

On the other hand, the rumors were confirmed about Jungkook and Haeun's break-up. It seemed like it was a horrible break-up, just by seeing how quiet and sad Jungkook looked and acted. I guess the break-up hit the heart way too hard.

But the only amusing thing was watching Jungkook follow Haeun around the halls, almost like a lost puppy trying to get her attention. He followed her up the stairs and down the halls, only to have her beg him to stay away from her.

I guess it made me feel bad, but just the slightest bit.

"Taehyung, how many more slices are you going to eat?" I stared at him as he took his fourth pizza slice and shoved it into his mouth.

"Until I'm full, duh." He chuckled, chewing his food.

I glanced at Bora and it seemed like she was enjoying their 'pizza' date. The only person who wasn't enjoying it was me, the third wheel.

"I'll go refill my drink, I'll be right back." I stood up, and headed towards the refilling station with all the varieties of soft drinks that you could choose from.

As I was reaching the refilling station, my eyes trailed around the pizza place, only to stop and fall upon a familiar boy sitting in a booth all by himself. I stared at him, taking a closer look to find out that it was Jungkook. He was playing with his cellphone, glancing from the screen to a few metres ahead from him. My eyes followed his gaze and I pursed my lips into a line, he was staring at Haeun.

She was sitting in a booth with a new guy, her new boyfriend, perhaps? I sighed, shrugging off my thoughts as I headed towards the refilling station that was just a few metres in front of Jungkook.

I clicked the button and stood on one hip, watching the drink fill up my cup slowly but surely. When it reached the top, I placed the lid of the cup back onto the rim and secured it. Turning around, I began to head towards the booth where Taehyung and Bora were only to feel a hand wrap around my arm, practically yanking me back.

I bumped into a muscular chest, only to feel hot breath hit against my cheek. I felt my shoulders and my whole body stiffen at the strong contact, my eyes looking up to see a brown mop of hair blocking my sight.

"Play along," he whispered, and I shut my eyes, finally realizing who was tightly hugging me. His lips were placed against my cheek so gently that I didn't even realize that he was kissing my cheek until he pulled away mumbling, "please, just play along."

I rolled my eyes, scoffing as he pulled me in closer, so close that I knew that if he pulled me any more closer I wouldn't be able to breathe. I scoffed again, and he pulled me closer to his muscular chest even tighter than before. "Please."

I sighed in defeat, wrapping my arms around his neck, pretending to hug him back and he loosened his grip around my waist. My face was blank, mainly because I wasn't facing Haeun and her new boyfriend. On the other hand, Jungkook kept whispering sweet little things in my ear.

Then it hit me. He was using me to make Haeun jealous. Haha, nice one, Jungkook.

I pulled away from the hug—practically prying myself out of his arms—and managed to muster up a fake smile. He grabbed my hand in his, lacing his fingers with mine.

"You're here," he smiled, and his eyes told me to play along or else I would be dead.

I nodded my head, looking at Taehyung and Bora who looked just as shocked and confused as I was. On the other hand, Bora also looked like she was watching a stand up comedian, so amused she wasn't even paying attention to Taehyung anymore.

"I'm glad I made it." I mumbled, following Jungkook to his booth where he had a slice of pizza sitting on a table. "Is this for me?"

He nodded his head, "of course, just for you, babe."

I winced at his choice of word, trying to pull my hand away from his but he only held onto it much more tighter just like how he hugged me. "Babe?"

"Mm?" He glanced at me with fake loving eyes and I pursed my lips into a line. "What is it, babe?"

I gritted my teeth together, "did you order your food, yet?"

"No, I didn't—Haeun.." His face transformed from playful to sad, as his eyes followed Haeun who stood up to leave with her date.

I turned around and stared at Haeun who seemed like she wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. Although, she looked just as hurt, and I was beginning to feel bad for joining in Jungkook's game.

I turned towards Jungkook and smacked his arm, "are you fucking insane?!"

Jungkook raised his hands up in defeat, "it was the only way to get her attention.."

"So trying to use me as your new upgrade was your only option of getting her attention?!" I exclaimed, shaking my head. "You're really desperate to get her back, aren't you?"

He looked hurt, and it was my turn to feel bad again. I reached out for him, but he backed away from me. "I'm sorry for dragging you into this, I'm such an asshole."

"Jungkook, I didn't mean that, I'm so—"

"No, you're right." He chuckled bitterly, and I felt myself wince at his hurt tone. "I guess I am desperate to get Haeun back."

"I'm sorry—" I began and he smiled sadly.

"I'll see you tomorrow, alright?" I watched him as he began to exit the pizza place.

After seeing his hurt face, I couldn't help but feel more bad for the poor little guy who was heartbroken over his ex.

And I knew the perfect way to help him out.

~~~~

"Jungkook, wait!" I was chasing the lover boy all morning for God knows how long, but he was just so fast that I couldn't keep up with his speed.

His eyes were bloodshot red, and his body looked really weak. Taehyung and Bora agreed with my decision in helping Jungkook, and it was basically the only way to apologize for the rude things I said to him.

Haeun happened to meet someone new, a family friend, and she was now dating him. This was probably most of the contribution to Jungkook's sadness. The rumors at high school spread like wildfire, and Jungkook just had to be the first one to hear it.. and believe it.

"He's a fast runner, is he on the cross country team?" Bora panted, holding my shoulder as she breathed heavily. "Wait, can I take a breath first?"

"Yeah, let's take a breath first, this guy is fast." I sighed, sitting down on the bleachers outside of the school.

"Are you sure you want to help him out this way?" Bora asked, and I nodded reassuringly.

"He looked pretty upset at what I said to him, and I think this is the only way to pay back for what I did." I explained and Bora smiled.

"There's the genuine Seoyeon that I know." She nudged me and I sighed, looking ahead of the school's soccer field.

My eyes stopped upon Jungkook who was now sitting down on the grass a few metres away. I stood up, this was my only chance to catch up to him and have a talk. Bora stared at me bewilderedly as I began to sprint across the field to get to him

"Are you fucking insane?" She yelled out as I turned towards her and gave her a two thumbs up.

I caught up to Jungkook, stopping right in front of his converse shoes, panting like there was no end. He looked up at me with a blank expression, and I plopped right next to him on the damp grass.

"What do you want?" He spat and I shut my eyes.

"Can we talk?" I asked and he stared at me to continue. "Look, I'm sorry for calling you desperate and making you feel like you're a bad person. I understand you really love Haeun and you're only doing that because of it."

"Are you done?" He looked like he was wasting time listening to me and I sighed.

"Look, I know you want to get her back." I began, before shrugging my shoulders, "and if there's anything I could do to show how much I'm sorry for saying those rude things to you.. I'll do it."

"You'll do anything?" He asked and I glanced at him.

Nodding my head, I replied, "anything."

He leaned back onto the grass, his back hitting against it. I looked at him as he stared up at the clouds, then back at me. A smirk was beginning to cross his lips and I felt myself get nervous.

"Be my girlfriend," he commanded. "My fake girlfriend."

I looked at him, biting my lip nervously. I didn't want to admit defeat, but this was practically one of the many ridiculous things that he has made as a decision or strategy.

"Are you fucking kidding me—"

"You said you'd do anything." He grinned, and I rolled my eyes.

"Fine," I sighed in defeat, "you know, for a hopeless romantic, you suck."

"Perfect!" He exclaimed, beginning to look determined. "Now, the only thing left is to wait for Haeun to become mine again, which I'm sure will happen."

"Alright, alright, lover boy, slow your horses." I stopped him, "that's not gonna happen in a matter of a day, you know that, right?"

"I do, therefore, we have to set up some rules and boundaries here." He smiled, cracking his knuckles as if he was getting down to business.

"Rules and boundaries?" He nodded his head as I scrunched my nose up and tilted my head in confusion.

"Rule number one," he began, looking at me, "I hate when people wear and borrow my clothes."

I burst out into laughter, "it's not like I'm going to wear your filthy clothes, anyway."

"Rule number two," he continued, "you have to do what you're told when you're in this fake relationship with me."

I sighed, "do I really have to kiss you?"

He nodded his head, "I know, my lips are really kissable it'll be hard to resist."

"Shut up, you're so full of yourself." I rolled my eyes and he chuckled.

"Rule number three and the last rule," he smirked, "don't fall in love with me."

I scoffed, "fall in love with you? Pssh, I hate you."

"You never know.." he grinned, shrugging his shoulders, "if the whole female gender on the school campus has fallen head over heels for me, than I would watch out if I were you."

"Haha, very funny." I pursed my lips into a line, saying sarcastically. "I wouldn't be in love with you even if you were the last man on earth."

"Alright, alright," he raised his eyebrows. "Whatever you say, just don't fall in love with me."

"I won't, trust me—"

"Because if you do, then you'll be fucked—"

"You mean we'll be fucked because this is a fake relationship and if one of us falls in love with the other then that only means that thisfake relationship won't be as fake anymore." I explained and he looked surprised at my rambling.

He smiled, nodding his head, "I'm glad you know."

"Did I forget to mention that I hate you to death?" I asked as he nodded his head.

"You did, actually." He chuckled, before shrugging his shoulders. "The feeling's mutual."

"Good, because whatever happens in this fake relationship, is fake. It'll never be real, I hope you know that." I reassured him as he smiled.

"Good, I'm glad you're ready." He bit his lip, offering his hand to shake. "No strings attached?"

I nodded my head, grabbing his hand, shaking it gently, "no strings attached."
