"Yura"

"Yura, wake up dear"

"What is it?" I said getting kinda ticked because I don't like it when people wake me up. It just irked me so much.

As I slowly opened my eyes, I started to see my grandmas soft features. Well look who's happy today.

"What's up grandma"

"There's a boy standing at the front door and he says he wants to talk to you"

"Yeah sure I'll be right down"

A rather loud yawn left my mouth after I said that I'd be down. I was too tired from last night. Wait. Last night?

I felt my cheeks getting heated as I thought about yesterday. I did that? I, Park Yura, had phone sex? Crazy. Really, really crazy. If I wasn't myself I wouldn't believe it. Wouldn't even consider it. What was even worse was that I enjoyed it and didn't regret it.

I got up to go to the bathroom and freshen up, feeling a little dizzy as I did so because my body and senses were all still sleepy. After I was done I threw on a hoodie over my pajama set and started making my way downstairs.

As I walked down the stairs I started to realize that the male with slick brown hair and a white tee who was sitting on the couch was in fact jungkook.

His back was facing me since the couch was faced away from the stairs. My eyes caught sight of the coffee table im front of him, my grandma got him juice and cookies. I didn't even know that we had those.

I made my way towards the front of the couch and as soon as jungkook saw me he stood up. As if on que we both apologized and then as if on que again we both asked "what are you sorry for?"

"You go first" he says.

"Well I'm sorry for pushing you away yesterday, I shouldn't have done that"

"It was kind of my fault though" he says looking down at his feet.

"Yes, yes it was"

We both laughed as an attempt to fade the tension away for a few moments. It was better to talk without having the burden of worrying about the others reaction.

"Mind clarifying?" I asked as I took a seat on the couch and signaled for jungkook to do the same by patting the seat next to me.

"Well, I know you heard what happened last night and it was only because I was drunk and needed company. I know it's not an excuse. Know that you have every right to be mad at me, but Yura I'm really sorry" He says as he twiddled his thumbs and looked at his lap.

"I understand" I said before I took this as an opportunity to tease the shit out of him.

"I actually faked the orgasm last night because I started sobering up towards the end" he says.

"Wait, wasn't jihyun some type of sex goddess?"

"Only at the beginning" he says "She just does the same thing every time and sometimes I feel like she's not enjoying it so it gets boring after a month or two"

"I bet you'd be better" he adds jokingly.

"Bruh, get the fuck out" I said with a straight face as I threw a pillow at him.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" he laughs, trying to shield himself from the pillow thats being thrown his way.

"Oh I forgot to ask. How are things with taehyung going?"

"Oh my god, are you actually blushing right now?" Jungkook says throwing the pillow back at me.

"Pfft no"

"Have you talked to him last night?"

"Yes"

"Well it's kinda obvious that he makes you happy, I mean after what happened to you yesterday you should've been a crying mess upstairs" he says.

"You must really like him, if just talking to him makes you this happy" he said almost frowning. Almost.

"I wish I could make you that happy" he mumbled

"Huh?" I asked not really sure of what I heard. Jungkook was weird sometimes and had an odd choice of words but this was especially weird.

"Nothing, I better go now" he said standing up to hug me.

"Okay bye" I hugged him back and decided to not think about what he said since I simply might have heard him wrong.

It was now Monday and I was back at school sitting at my usual spot in the corner. The spot where no one really noticed me. Not that they did notice me anywhere else.

Mrs kim came in early today which saved me a ton of unnecessary bullying. Mrs. kim said that she had news, like every other day.

"Now class your rooming arrangements for our trip to Japan have been settled and I'm going to announce them"

"But before I announce anything I don't want any complaints later since its not the school that's organizing this trip so please just bear with it. The trip's only a few days okay?" She smiled warmly glancing at me from time to time.

She then started to list the arrangement making some people frown and some people high five or whatever.

I didn't really care about who got paired with who since none of them were my friends so I just waited for my name to get called out. And to my dismay, it finally did.

Yura and Jihyun

Well that officially settles it, I am most definitely not going to this trip. I mean I could already list all the worst possible scenarios in my mind and it's only been 3 seconds since our names got called out.

Jihyun smirked at me from the side while I just ignored her along with the sounds of our classmates 'comforting' her by saying phrases like.

"Aww poor you"

"Good luck dealing with that freak"

"Oh my god jihyun don't, she'll probably do something weird to you"

"It's safer not to go on this trip"

They were all just a bunch of douchebags who believe any rumor or piece of gossip they hear. I loathe all of them with all my heart.

It just baffled me how they can bully someone for absolutely no valid reason?

No

How can you bully someone at all?

ー

The rest of the period had thankfully passed by quickly and it was now the end of the period, so like everybody else, I started to walk out of class.

"Hey wait up"

"What is it asswipe" I replied not even looking back since I was 105% sure that it was jungkook.

"Who did you get paired up with?" He asks, catching up to me.

"Your ex-bitch"

"What are you gonna do about it?"

"I'm not going"

"Nooo I wanted to hang out with you" he pouts.

"Too bad then"

I felt a little guilty for ditching jungkook like that but he had friends so he was going to be just fine without me.

"Wait I have an idea"

"I don't wanna hear it" I sighed glancing up at him.

"Well someone's on their period"

I punched his side as hard as I could which made him laugh since jungkook was built like a fucking wall. The dude practically lived at the gym, so for him my punch was as impactful as a simple touch. But, i still punched him anyways because it honestly pisses me off when guys just assume that girls are on their period when they're mad.

"You can switch roommates with me, I mean jinhwan is like the nicest guy ever"

"Are you retarded or something because last time I checked we weren't of the same gender"

"So?"

"Do you really think we'll get away with something like this"

"Uhh yeah, I doubt mrs kim would ever bother to check up on us at night"

I rolled my eyes and left jungkook alone to talk nonsense but he wouldn't let me leave and caught up with me again.

"First of all it's rude to leave someone like that and second of all jihyun and I are model students so mrs kim wouldn't check on us, in fact she could actually hand us the responsibility of checking up on students"

"Jungkook I'm not going, end of discussion"

He pulled my wrist to stop me from walking and to make me look at him. Well, someone was angry.

"Now I just feel like you don't want to hang out with me"

"Oh please, you're being ridiculous"

"How exactly am I doing that?" He asks, crossing both his arms on his chest.

I sighed, getting pissed off. Does he even understand how bad things could get if I went to Japan with Jihyun?

"Jungkook, jihyun is much more dangerous than you can imagine. For all I know she could strip me in my sleep, take pictures of me and then throw me in a pot of tomato sauce in the middle of the hotel"

"That's oddly specific" he says as he sighs and gives up on trying to get me to go to the trip.

I was now back home and getting ready to go to work. I wasn't as excited to go to work as I usually was but I was happy nonetheless since the thought of working with jin and hearing his dad jokes almost never seemed unappealing.

It's been way too long since I went there and I can almost guarantee that Abby, the smoothie shop owner, was going to kill me. So, I got out of the house and started making my way towards the shop.

Halfway there I felt the usual vibration of my phone in my pocket. So, I got it out to check the caller ID on the screen.

It was Taehyung.

"H-Hey tae"

What the fuck Yura? Why did you stutter? This is so embarrassing, I can't even believe myself!

"Hey Yura"

His voice sent chills down my spine since it was somehow deeper than the last time I heard it, which I doubt was even possible.

"How are you?" I asked remembering that I had once told him to call me when things got too tough.

"Not so great" he says, his voice breaking.

"Are you okay?"

"No"

He then started crying and timed with it was a feeling like i just got stabbed in the heart. I just couldn't bare to hear him breakdown like this. And instantly i could only think if there was maybe a way I could alleviate his pain and take it away . I wanted to do anything so that I could cheer him up somehow.

"What happened?"

"I just-"

"Taehyung, talk to me" I urged. He seemed nervous.

"Just say it tae, its okay"

What I heard next was something that I've never expected to hear in my life. It was something that no one could ever really know how to reply to.

"My mom...s-she went into a coma" He said before sobbing uncomfortably.

I was panicking but I had to be calm for him"What happened?"

"My dad he came back drunk and he...oh god" as if his crying couldn't get any more heart wrenching, taehyung cried, unable to form a coherent sentence but I understood.

I just wanted him to be happy. Wanted to protect him.

I was helpless though.

"Don't tell me you're still with him?" I said feeling the color drain from my face as I realized that taehyungs life could potentially be in danger right now. Who's to say he wouldn't hurt taehyung too?

"No he's on the run right now because the neighbors saw what he did"

"Good, so where are you now?" I asked feeling myself relax at his previous reply.

"I'm at the hospital with my mom but our house isn't safe anymore so I'm heading to the train station soon" he says "I think I'm coming to seoul sooner than I had planned"

He stayed silent for a while and then slowly started to break down again. I just wanted to hug himーlistening to taehyung sob has to be one of the most painful things I have ever experienced.

"I hate this so much, why can't I just be like everyone else?"

I started crying with him. I know I had to be strong for him like he was with me but I just couldn't help myself. He didn't deserve this. He was taehyung, he was the sweet and kind taehyung who deserved nothing but happiness in my eyes.

"Now why are you crying?" He chuckles.

"I justーh-hate knowing that you s-suffer this much"

"I swear if I ever saw your dad I would kick him in the balls so hard, he wouldn't be able to walk his ugly ass for days"

"Yura" taehyung says, his cries coming to a halt.

"Yes?"

"You're a mess"

"Well, you're a mess too"

"You know what?"

"What?"

"I think we'd make a lovely mess"
