"I...I used to have a crush on you." Jungkook said.

Silence.

Complete, utter, pin-drop silence.

The silence our teachers crave for.

And then...

I started laughing like there was no tomorrow.

Jungkook.

Jeon Jungkook.

Having a crush on me.

I couldn't even imagine that stuff. It's too ridiculous.

Seeing that no one was laughing, I slowly came to a stop.

"....you're serious?" I asked, baffled.

"Damn right I am." He said, making me blink before turning to Taehyung.

"Did you know?" I asked him, who looked like he came to know that his pet, Yeontan is his grandfather.

"Nevermind. You didn't." I waved him off.

"Why is that so shocking?" Jungkook asked, looking confused.

"Maybe because crushes usually start because of looks, even though there are quite a few cases that a crush started because of a good personality. And to be honest, I don't think I have either." I shrugged.

"I disagree with that statement." I heard Taehyung mumble, making my heart swell.

Ew, love.

"I- that's not necessarily true." Jungkook began. "You aren't ugly, though I would say puberty hitting you was the best decision it made because when you were twelve-" He chuckled while grimacing, making me glare at him.

Clearing his throat, he continued.

"Let's not go there. I wouldn't say you're drop-dead gorgeous since I've seen better- but you're pretty. Especially now than before." He concluded.

"Well aren't you the sweetest?" I smiled sarcastically before sighing. "Thanks anyway."

"Anytime. As for personality..."

A long pause.

"...yeah. I got nothing." He ended it there, making me nod in approval.

"There's our honest boy," I said before pausing. "Since when did you have a crush anyway?"

"It started in 10th grade and lasted till 2 months before I met Y/N."

...

"WHAT?!" Tae and I shouted in unison, making him yelp and fall from the chair he was sitting on.

"How could I miss that? Wait- how could you miss that?!" I looked at Tae who was ruffling his hair in confusion.

"I have no idea." He said, walking away to sit in the corner near the wall.

"I'm just good at hiding stuff," Jungkook said, making me snort.

"Says the guy who fanboyed over Y/N for two months and was genuinely surprised that we knew he had a crush on her," Tae said from his corner, making me chuckle.

"That was one time." He admitted, rolling his eyes.

"Didn't you cry when you were my Secret Santa last year because keeping a secret was too much pressure on you?" I reminded, making Tae nod vigorously.

A pause.

"Alright..." he started grudgingly. "Two times."

"He's also the guy who-"

"Before you both expose my whole life and awful hiding skills, let's get back onto the topic." He said shaking his head. "I had my ways to hide it."

"Teach me." Tae and I said in unison, making us look at each other.

"Me first." We said again, turning to glare at each other.

"Guys guys guys. Why fight when it's obvious who you both love?" Jungkook sighed.

"I guess he makes a fair point," Taehyung admitted, making me nod slowly.

"True..."

"I say you both should confess to Yoongi and let him choose himself instead of fighting." Kook continued.

There was a pause.

"Oh my God. He is the dumb hoe of our group." Tae said in realization, making me nod in agreement.

"I told you so!" I flipped my hair.

"I'm just kidding!" Jungkook rolled his eyes. "I already know who Mira likes anyway. And you too Taehyung, though your case was way more obvious than hers and- what are you both doing?" He asked in confusion as I walked to Tae and sat beside him.

"I bet on my laptop that he'll get this one wrong." Taehyung declared.

"I bet on my phone that he'll get this right. There is no one else left for him to make a mistake. Unless he thinks you love that waiter from the cafe." I said.

"He could think so. Knowing Jungkook, Did you really just take that risk?"

"...shit."

Jungkook had an unimpressed look on his face as we discussed over how I would give up my phone next Friday.

"Who is it? Who does Taehyung like?" I asked, making him sigh.

"You." He said, pointing at me.

"HE GOT IT RIGHT! WHAT THE HELL! MY LAPTOP!" Taehyung exclaimed qs he sat on the floor in shock.

"HAH! HOW YOU LIKE THAT! GUESS WHO STILL HAS THEIR PHONE BITCHES!" I said, rubbing my victory in his face before pausing and sitting on the floor too.

"Oh my God, you just accepted it which makes it even more real," I said, rocking back and forth.

"Oh my God. I just accepted it. It got real." Tae said, looking horrified.

"Let's just get back to the point-"

"Wait a damn minute," I said, cutting Jungkook off.

"What now?"

"How is any of this related to why you kissed me?" I asked, making Kook blink.

"I forgot about that," Tae confessed, making me turn to him.

"Same honestly. I just remembered it randomly."

"About that- it just happened in the spur of the moment and I guess my past feelings had something to do with it. Maybe it was testing the waters and seeing if I still felt something...?" He said, making me contemplate his answer.

It was better than a simple 'I don't know'...

"Acceptable." Tae shrugged. "What were your conclusions?"

"That her lip balm is bomb and I want to know what it is. It tastes like honey." He said.

My eyes shined.

"I used a honey and sugar scrub for my lips since I was feeling good about myself today."

"Best decision you ever made. I highly suggest you continue it." He said firmly, making me nod.

"I will!" I chirped as we both smiled.

Tae facepalmed.

"Not those conclusions, you moron." He groaned.

Was that a hint of jealousy in those words?

"As in what did you feel?" He clarified.

"...her lips?"

I sighed in exasperation.

We had a dumb best friend.

"Not that- but how was it?" I asked, lowkey nervous. "It was my second kiss."

"Who was your first?" Tae blinked in confusion, making me freeze.

"Yoona," I muttered, a slight blush of embarrassment on my face as I realised that I exposed myself.

"WHAT-"

"It was an accident!" I said hurriedly.

"How the hell did her lips aCciDenTaLLy land on yours?" Jungkook asked, making me chuckle rather nervously.

"Okay so maybe it wasn't an accident-"

"Oh my God. You had a crush on Yoona?!" Kook exclaimed.

"You kissed Yoona?!" Tae exclaimed at the same time, making me facepalm.

"No! She was just trying to figure herself out and I just happened to be there so she kissed me! She apologized anyway and started dating 'the girl whose name I don't know yet' within a week after that incident." I explained more calmly, making them nod in understanding.

Silence.

"So I think we sorted it out?" I said, breaking the silence.

"We did." They nodded, sighing in relief.

"So let's get out of this old classroom!" I said happily, tired already. It was getting dark and that small dusty window wasn't doing much. The light was unfortunately not working, and-

"Oh fuck." I said, my eyes widening.

"What?"

"We all just missed our shifts in our jobs. Without prior information."

Silence again.

"Time to kill those people who locked us in," Jungkook said, cracking his knuckles before pausing. "Except Y/N."

"Fun."

Sometimes all you need is a simple conversation to solve problems.

Note how I said 'sometimes.'
