Jungkook asked me to meet at the park in the morning. He said that he will introduce me to his friends, Jaehyun and Eunwoo. He told me that it might be a good opportunity for me to have friends too.

I don't know what to think about what happened last night. Was our kiss a form of answer and solution? Or was it just a random action led by our strong emotions? Nevertheless, it was me who initiated it so I'm supposed to figure it out all by myself.

Once I reached the park, I chose a capacious place void of any people. After a few minutes of standing and waiting for him, I finally saw Jungkook wandering in the middle of the park. "Pst!" I called for his attention. It seemed like he is finding my voice so I called him again. "Here!" I hissed. His eyes finally met mine and he jogged towards my direction.

"Why are you hiding here?" He chuckled and holds my wrist and pulled me out in the open. I observed how he wanted to hold hands with me but I took my hand away from quickly.

"Let's go?" I awkwardly smiled and he nods. I made a huge distance from him as much as possible the moment we are walking down the corridors. But Jungkook keeps walking closer to me.

What if someone picks at him because they figured out that we're in a relationship? Jungkook might be physically strong but he is weak when it comes to emotional troubles. So what will happen if a lot of people will taunt him because he is in a relationship with the same sex?

But the real question is, are we even in a relationship?

No one from the both of us technically declared it last night. We just kissed and that's it.

Later on, I started to see two handsome guys picking at each other in a distance. I begin to feel anxious, it's like I'm meeting up with his parents and we're gonna tell them what's going on between the two of us.

"Jungkook!" The other guy called. Jungkook pulls my arm again towards their direction while I put on my hood with my other hand to hide. I'm trying my best to be discreet, but Jungkook is acting carelessly.

"Hey, guys." Jungkook greeted. "I'd like you to meet, Deonne."

"Hi," I awkwardly shake their hands the moment Jungkook set my arm free.

"Deonne is my--"

"Friend!" I cut him off and laughed. Jungkook looked at me with a creased forehead but I ignored him. "I believe I still haven't gotten your names." I turned to the other two.

"Oh, I'm Jaehyun. And this other tall guy here is Eunwoo." Jaehyun introduced while the Eunwoo guy waved his hand at me. "What time is your first class, Deonne?"

"Nine, why?" I asked back.

"Join us, we'll have breakfast outside." Eunwoo was the one who answered.

"I alre-"

"He'll join us." Jungkook cut me off. Seriously, what is he doing? "Let's go?" The two guys nodded at him and they start to walk towards a different direction while we follow them from behind.

"I already had breakfast," I hissed at Jungkook.

"Grab another," He giggled and I frowned at him.

The direction we're going at was the parking lot and my jaw almost fell when I saw that we'll go out using a very extravagant car. Jaehyun was the one driving, Eunwoo called shotgun while Jungkook and I are seated comfortably at the backseat.

Throughout the ride, I was silent. While the three mischievous boys here are loudly singing whatever is playing on the speaker. It's fine though, their voices are good.

It would sound like there is war if ever I joined them in singing.

The car stopped in front of a restaurant that I haven't been to before. As we entered, the ambiance of the place is relaxing. Indeed a perfect place for breakfast.

They chose a table next to the glass wall where we can see things outside while we eat. Eunwoo is in front of me and Jaehyung is sitting next to him, while Jungkook and I sit side by side. They ordered sumptuous meal as their breakfast, on the other hand, I only ordered pancakes and water. At first, they insisted that I should order more but I told them that I already had breakfast in my dorm.

"So what happened to Vanessa?" My body stilled when I heard the name from Eunwoo.

"I, what do you call that?" Jungkook forgot a word.

"Dump? You dumped her?" Jaehyun said. There were no signs of surprise in their faces.

"Something like that? I don't know." Jungkook muttered. "It didn't work out. Besides, I like someone else- Ouch!" Jungkook winced loudly when I pinched his thick thigh underneath the table.

How can he announce something like that abruptly? What if the two guys who he is talking about? I should talk to Jungkook after this.

Jaehyun and Eunwoo started chuckling silently because of Jungkook while I stayed mute.

After that, the food arrived and we began to dig in. Once I finished my pancakes, I waited for them to finish theirs while I listen to their conversations. A second later, I noticed how Jungkook is slicing small portions of his steaks and putting it on my already empty plate.

"Hey!" I exclaimed. "I'm full already," I forged a smile.

"No, you eat more. You have to gain weight." Jungkook said and the two guys in front of us seemed... unbothered?

"Jungkook, if you're full too, don't give me your leftovers." I tilt my head on the side. Suddenly, Jaehyun and Eunwoo placed small portions of their meal on my plate as well.

What the hell is happening?

"Jungkook is right, eat more. You look like a boy and not a man." Eunwoo smirked.

"That's offensive," I raised an eyebrow at him but he just shrugged.

I had no choice but to force myself to eat what they put on my plate. I mean it when I said I'm full already but they won't listen to me.

Once we all finished what is on our plate, Jungkook told us that he will go to the comfort room for a second and I'm left with Jaehyun and Eunwoo. To avoid any conversation from them, I focused my eyes on my empty plate.

"Stop acting, Deonne." Jaehyun laughed.

"Acting? What do you mean?" I asked and I'm still not looking at them.

"You're acting as if Jungkook and you are friends." He clarified.

"What? We really are friends." My statement made them happier and I have no clue why.

"Jungkook already told us that you are his boyfriend." I brought my eyes up to them and noticed how teasing their smiles were. "He told us everything."

"If you taunt him because he i-"

"What?! No!" Eunwoo exclaimed. "Jungkook is our friend, why would we do that to him?" He leaned back on his seat with his eyebrows knitted together.

"You mean, you agree with his relationship with me?" I can't believe that these words finally came out of my mouth after so many years.

"Of course!" They answered in unison.

"But it seems like you want to keep it as a secret, don't you?" Jaehyun asked and I shamefully nodded. "Why?"

"A lot of people hate relationships like ours, I don't want him to suffer again, because of that." If Jungkook really treats them as his friends, I figured that they already know his history.

"Deonne, wake up. It's the twenty-first century, you have the freedom to be in a relationship like that. It's one of this century's perks." Eunwoo informed as he tries to convince me.

"You said it like it is easy," I mumbled.

"It is! If you really love him, all that matters is him. Those who interfere and make fun of the both of you will go to hell, believe me." Eunwoo laughed.

"So what do you want me to do?" I wondered.

"Show the world your love for each other. Let them envy you," Jaehyun answered my question. "I'm sure that is what Jungkook wants."

"He is proud of your relationship, so be proud too," Eunwoo added. "I'll bury those who harm the both of you alive, just tell me."

Eunwoo's statement finally made me laugh and I silently thanked them when we all saw Jungkook coming back.

We all decided to come back to the campus and once we arrived, I noticed how Jungkook was a meter away from me while we walk in the corridors. I shake my head with a smile before approaching him to link my arm to his. "Deonne, what are you-"

I intertwined our fingers together and lifted our hands up for him to see. "Let's say that I'm glad we met in the twenty-first century." I genuinely smiled at him and he returned it.

I was caught off guard when he suddenly kissed my temple. "I'm glad too,"

With that, we walked the corridors hand in hand.
