(A/n: Last part of Taehyung's POV)

A few weeks before meeting Jungkook's mom

"Let's go!" Jungkook said, throwing an arm around Mira's shoulder. She smiled before taking my hand to hold it.

I almost didn't notice the change, but it just suddenly hit me.

She wasn't feeling shy that Jungkook was close.

I looked at her, trying to decipher what she was feeling.

"Something on my face?" Mira asked, looking at me in confusion.

"Yeah. It's called ugliness." Jungkook said, making Mira slap the back of his head.

"Brat." She muttered, rolling her eyes.

I blinked, making sure I was seeing his right.

Mira moved on.

It made me happy, since Jungkook never put any effort into trying to hide his crush on Y/N, and it was hurting Mira. She never spoke up for obvious reasons.

Now, she wouldn't get hurt.

I didn't ship Y/N and Jungkook. I never showed any dislike for her but I never put any special effort that other classmates put to bring them both together.

I didn't want to hurt Mira.

Now that she was starting to view him as a friend, it made me feel happy...and hopeless.

She managed to move on, yet I couldn't.

Why?

Did I fall so hard that I can't get up?

~The next day~

"Where are we going?" Mira asked lazily, already knowing where I was going.

"The janitor's closet," I said jokingly. She wiggled her eyebrows at me suggestively.

"I had no idea you were into that stuff. Especially with me." She said, making me mentally panic.

I was, but I couldn't let her know.

What the hell should I reply with?

"What can I say? My standards have fallen drastically." I said and immediately wished for the ground to swallow me up.

Why the hell would I say that to a girl I love?!

She huffed, making me fear that she was truly offended.

Did I just wreck my non-existent chances with her?

Looking at her face, I almost passed out in relief that she was playing along.

"I reject you then." She said.

'Oh, I know you will'. I thought sadly before mentally slapping myself. Not the time!

"I reject rejection," I said, playfully shrugging. The conversation went on, and I finally managed to calm down.

How long will this go on? How long can I manage to be a friend?

The day of the party

Mira had steadily moved on from Jungkook, and I was happy for her. I realised that she didn't love Jungkook, and her feelings were finally not bothering her anymore.

Yet, I couldn't make sense of one thing.

These few weeks, Mira shared a few looks with me and they seemed so familiar.

It was exactly how I look like when I stare at Mira.

Of course, it was just my imagination playing tricks on me yet again. So I pushed any thought of her liking me out of my head. It just couldn't be.

The party started, and these two idiots were high on sugar by then.

Or the brownies. I couldn't tell.

Either way, just when I was hoping for a sane person to make an entry, Y/N arrived.

Only to disappoint me by joining them.

So now I don't have one, but three high crackheads to control.

As time passed, Mira pushed Jungkook who fell on top of Y/N. It was like a K-Drama scene, but the gender roles were exchanged.

It was cute.

I quickly looked at Mira, who stared before smiling.

I checked once again, and there it was.

That beautiful, genuine smile of hers.

She did move on. I'm so proud of her.

I looked up to the ceiling, thanking the angels for that. She won't hurt anymore.

Taking out my phone, I decided to text Jimin. Before that, I checked up on the three crackheads again.

Only to find Mira making something with her Disney princess clips.

I blinked.

"I made that." She said proudly with a huge smile. I shook my head with a smile. This girl...

Not able to resist, I settled with ruffling her hair.

"Good job, buttercup," I said, making her smile bigger.

Ping.

I looked at my phone with furrowed eyebrows, wondering who was messaging me. Walking towards the couch, I settled down to check.

(A/n: Mochi is Jimin. Jimin is Taehyung's friend who is not as close as Mira and Jungkook but close enough to text and share a few secrets)

Mochi🐥 is online

Mochi🐥:
Hey Tae
How's it going?

Me:
😀
Guess

Mochi🐥:
😐
How bad?

Me:
😔
They're playing with Disney princess hair clips

Mochi🐥:
😔
You have my regards
You lived a long life
I'll play your favourite song at your funeral and get Panda Express🤩

Me:
Thanks, bro🤩

Mochi🐥:
Anytime
By the way
How's it going with Mira?

Me:
Just my delusional brain making me feel like she might have some sort of feelings for me again🙃

Mochi🐥:
Well I mean...not to give you any false hope but she does pay a little special attention to you🤭

Me:
When? O.o

Mochi🐥:
E V E R Y T I M E

Me:
I-

Mochi🐥:
Fr tho
I've seen you both in class
I bet the only reason JK doesn't open his mouth and complain is that he's too busy staring at Y/N😑

Me:
That's the one thing I can't disagree with
He needs to stop cuz it's creepy sometimes😓
Then again, so is Y/N

Mochi🐥:
Made for each other lmao
Anyway, I do have one thing to tell you though😙

-×-

"Tae?" Mira called, making me look up quickly. Was she hurt? Did something happen?

"Hm?"

She then pointed at Jungkook and Y/N, who were hugging at an awkward angle on the floor.

I'll admit, they looked cute together.

Mira then spread her arms to call me for a hug.

I melted at the sight of her, trying my hardest to not lift her into my arms and twirl her around before kissing her.

What the fuck do I do now?

Do I go and hug her? Do I listen to what Jimin had to say? WHAT DO I DO?

"Not now Mira. I'm trying to sort something out. Later, okay?" I said before looking back at my phone for Jimin's text, not before seeing Mira's sad face.

Ugh. Great going, Tae.

In the chat

Me:
Anytime now would be great😀
I've got a sad buttercup here to deal with

Mochi🐥:
She might like you more than you think she does. It's not always your brain fooling you. I might be wrong, but we all know that I'm practically never wrong. So trust your gut (or me since I'm more trustable) and don't push any chances away when you see them. Don't hesitate, just go for it, bro.

Me:
...
That was more than just one thing
That was a whole ass paragraph
Jimin, you gotta learn the difference man😔

Mochi🐥:
This ungrateful bitch-

Me:
Thanks, Chim
Means a lot
I'll keep it in mind

Mochi🐥:
Anytime☺

Me:
I gtg hug my queen now
Bye😊

Mochi🐥:
He said MY queen-🥺
Bye😌

Mochi🐥 went offline

I sighed before slowly walking up to Mira, who was having a staring contest with the wall for whatever reason I couldn't tell.

Probably thinking of hugging the wall or something.

After hesitating a bit, I decided to back hug her. Trying to push away any doubt and fear, I went ahead and wrapped my arms around her.

She turned her head slightly to look at me with a smile.

Fuck.

My heart felt overwhelmed, making me feel like a boy in love. I didn't even realise that I was staring at her deeply till she poked the mole on my nose and smiled wider.

Letting out an airy chuckle, I hugged her tighter and closed my eyes, resting my head on her shoulder.

She snuggled closer and I heard her sigh in contentment, making me feel at ease.

It's been a long time since I felt such deep emotion, so I just want to be in this moment.

Feeling her stare, I opened my eyes to see her looking panicked. I tilted my head slightly in confusion, not understanding what was wrong.

She shook her head and indicated it was nothing, but I knew better.

I looked at her for a little bit before closing my eyes again, wondering...

Wondering why she looked so shocked and in love at the same time?
