Since that day, Jungkook has been avoiding you. You're not sure why yourself. Even when you try to send a message, all you get is being left one read! That hurt even more. The only possible explanation you could come up with is when you hit the puck straight into his groin. It just had to be the only explanation.

Every time you tried to talk to him - wait, even just walk up to him - he's out like a prey running from the predator. Right now, you're just confused. You've been leaving notes on his desk and went as far to leave a juicebox on his desk! So, this time, you're going to confront him.

Even if it means running after him.

Damn, you should be like an assassin or spy in your next life or something. In a totally not creepy or weird way, you were carefully watching Jungkook out of the corner of your eye. It was three minutes before the bell that he started to pack things up and you followed suit.

As soon as the bell rang, he sprung into action and headed out of the door. Mumbling some half good-bye to your friends, you went after him. Thanks to the crowd of students, you almost missed him a couple of times but managed to spot him due to the way he walked fast, almost pushing others out of the way. You continued to follow him as he went to the library and you waited behind a bookshelf as he went trudging up the stairs.

Okay, maybe you were too watchful of him or something since he paused to look around him. Deeming the coast was clear, he went upstairs. As soon as he disappeared from sight, you headed upstairs quickly. Like a cat stalking a mouse, you carefully looked around. In the shadows of the bookshelves, at the surrounding tables and even some of the groups of students. You ventured deeper and was almost at the end of the room when you spotted the lone boy. You should've known that this is where you first talked to him and where tutoring took place.

Seeing as he is barely taking out his notebook, you wasted not another second. Fast as you could, you walked up to him and slammed your hands on the table to capture his attention. It worked as he jumped in his seat and looked up at you with innocent eyes.

"Why have you been avoiding me, Jungkook?" You questioned.

"Y-Y/N!" He was still a little shook by the noise from earlier.

You leaned a bit more forward to be intimidating. "Answer my question, Jungkook." His mouth opened to speak but nothing came out. You raised an eyebrow in response and patiently waited for him to continue.

"I-I don't know why." Jungkook finally said.

What? You stared at him and straightened up. "What do you mean?" You could hear the confusion in your voice. An awkward silence now replaced the conversation. Like, what do you say to that? You're kind of confused and the boy before you looked confused as well.

Suddenly, Jungkook stood up and bowed apologetically. "I-I'm sorry." He stuttered nervously. "There's just some things going on and I just wanted to be alone. I'm really sorry that I made you feel bad."

Oh. Now you feel terrible. "I'm also sorry Jungkook." You apologized. "I was being a little selfish but I also worry about you."

Jungkook had looked up now. His bright eyes widened a bit. You... were worried... about him? He wasn't sure why but his heart skipped a beat. Ugh, he did know why his heart was doing that. And why he could feel the blush rush up to his cheeks and tips of his ears.

He came to the fact that he liked you.

Did this mean... you liked him back? Jungkook spoke first. "You worry about me?"

You were a bit confused. "Yeah I do. Why wouldn't I? You're my friend, right?" Oh gosh. What if he really didn't think of you as his friend?! But you think he did as you saw some type of expression flash across his face and it was gone in a flash.

"Yeah, you're my friend!" Jungkook replied with a smile but it just seemed off.

"Good. Glad to see you're not mad at me or anything." You voiced your concerns.

A sad expression then crossed his face. "You thought I would be mad at you? I wouldn't be mad at you! You're the nicest person I've ever met!" His little declaration was a bit loud. Somewhere in the library, you heard someone shush.

You felt happy by those words. "Aw, thanks! You're nice too. Well, I'm glad we're still friends." Then some thought struck you. You had chores to do before your mom came home. Quickly, you pulled your phone out and checked the time. Oh no. "Sorry, Jungkook! I have to go! Bye, glad we talked about this!" And then you took off and got shushed by the poor student in the corner of the library who was trying to study. Oh well. You had to get home fast!

You took off so fast that Jungkook didn't have a response in time. He watched you run away. He just couldn't believe that you thought he was mad at you! How could he ever be mad at you? He just couldn't. Never.

He zipped up his backpack, processing the whole interaction that occurred moments before. Jungkook realized that he did like you. (or was he obsessed with the fact that you were his first friend?) This was kind of embarrassing... He's never had a first crush before. What should he do? Looks like he's going to have to use the internet for help. Feeling nervous and excited, he put on his backpack and ran home. Not before the poor student on the other side of the bookcase decided to quit if they couldn't get peace in the library.

Jungkook nervously watched the screen. He kept refreshing the page every five minutes for something new. Alas, nothing was there. Ugh, maybe he shouldn't have posted the question? Or did he make a mistake in the title and people were assuming he was a troll?

He checked the question again. It read: I like someone. What are ways to confess to them? I'm in high school by the way

It looked okay to him! Then why was no one answering?! This was ridiculous and he should have never- oh! Someone replied! His eyes grew wide in excitement and his heart thumped in his chest. His eyes quickly scanned the reply.

Ah, young love. If you really like this person, I say to leave notes in their lockers of what you like about them then at the end of the week, confess! It's a little cliché but it's still cute. And if you want them to be by your side forever, continue being more than what they expected. :) Hope it works out!

Jungkook processed the message in his head. 'This is good advice.' He thought in his head. He took a look at the calendar and saw that it was Tuesday. Okay, he had two days to place notes in your locker and he'll confess Friday afternoon! It was perfect! Thoughts swarmed in his head on how he should even confess and something struck him. And so he began to write down what he liked about you.

I'm sorry about another late update! My classes have been biting me in the ass :')) so I'm going to continue working on this in my free time and when I finish this, I'll take a break to dedicate it all to writing my other story so that way I can finish it up and just post a chapter a day if that works :)

again, I'm sorry about the late update
