You couldn't think.

Couldn't even breathe, actually, until your brain sent you signals that if you didn't take a breath soon, you would pass out.

You couldn't believe it.

Jungkook just kissed you.

Okay, it was a peck on the cheek, but he touched you with his lips, and that was enough to send you spiraling into a deep, dark pit of overwhelming emotions.

What was he thinking? Catching you completely off guard like that? You could've had a heart attack! And what were you thinking, just sitting there all dumb and stupid and not doing anything.

In your defense, your brain had momentarily shut down, but he had no right to go and do what he did.

Wait.

He thought you were cute?

Aww. That was so sweet of him. Nobody called you cute anymore, because, frankly, you weren't cute, (jk you're freaking adorable) but that didn't mean you didn't like being called that way. You wrapped your arms around yourself, smiling a little as your cheeks warmed at the thought of the compliment.

aH STOP! What were you doing, Park Y/N? Thinking he was sweet and all that? What was wrong with you?? You were supposed to be loathing him!

But... you couldn't. Not after what happened. He was being too sweet to despise. You couldn't bring yourself to hate him.

Could you really, though? After all, he was the cause of your humiliation and heartbreak. You pursed your lips as the memory stung like a splinter that was too deep to tweeze out.

But one year is a long time. Twelve months, and more. In that time, he could've matured, changed, became a better person.

Could he? People don't change very easily. He could still be the same, putting on a kind façade to make you think he was better, then chewing you up and spitting you out again.

But you didn't think that was what was happening. He seemed too genuine for that to be true. You were sure kindness couldn't be faked that easily.

You chewed your lower lip in frustration. You didn't know what to think, what to feel, what to do. He was-

The driver cleared his throat, making you jump. "Excuse me? Are you going to get out, or...?"

"Oh, sorry about that." You quickly got out of the car and watched as it drove away and disappeared around a bend. Sighing, you jammed your hands into your jacket pockets and walked up to Unit X.

To like or not to like? A week ago, you would've scoffed at yourself for even thinking about that question. Now...

You didn't know.
