(A/n:- Back to Mira POV)

"Why the hell do you look so miserable today?" Yoona asked, her eyebrows furrowing as she observed me.

"I'm in love." I sighed out, letting my head drop onto the table harshly.

"Tell me something new."

"With Taehyung." I raised my head to look her dead in the eye. "Did you know that?"

"..." She blinked before sitting beside me and patting my shoulder. "There there. It'll get better. I think. I don't know what to say honestly."

"Yeah, I know. It's shocking." I sighed yet again before getting a bowl of cereal.

"Not really." She muttered.

"Hm?"

"Nothing." She smiled. "Continue."

"I feel like a hoe. How could I think I was in love with my best friend which turned out to be just feelings that I refused to let go and then actually fall in lovE WITH MY OTHER BEST FRIEND?!" I shouted and kicked the table in frustration.

"Ouch ouch ouch ouch." I teared up. The pain was slightly more than I anticipated it to be.

"Well. Sucks to be you." She said before getting up. I glared at her, making her chuckle.

"Kidding. By the way, happy realization." She said, making me choke.

"You knew?!"

"Not that you love Taehyung, no. Now that I think about it though...it was pretty obvious. Jungkook was always more of a small crush you had for a long time that you just got so used to, that your coward self didn't want to let go because you were afraid of change. And Taehyung was always the main bitch." She chuckled, using the nickname I gave him.

"You did talk about Taehyung a lot without even knowing, you always had this protective and fond look whenever he was mentioned, your nickname suggests that too-"

"Alright alright, I get it. I was an idiot who thought I loved one person but turns out it's the other because I don't know shit about love and I just want to shift to Antarctica at this point."

"In this world, no one truly knows what love is though. It's just that moment of realization you have, you know?"

"I know." I sighed yet again, aggressively hitting my head on the table.

"Don't do that. What if you'll become dumber?"

"What do I now, though?" I asked her for advice, ignoring her previous statement.

"Ask him out." She shrugged.

"..."

"Heh. Like you would have the balls." She giggled, making me give her an unamused look. She cleared her throat before speaking again.

"How about this time you make sure about it? Write about your feelings for a month and read them all to see if you're truly in love." She said, making me blink.

Woah.

"That was pretty good advice."

"I know. I'm smart." She flipped her hair. "Good luck."

"Thanks. I need it." I sighed for God knows how many times.

Hearing a knock, I silently groaned.

I was not ready to face him. Not yet.

"Can I pretend to be sick and just live in here forever?" I pleaded.

Yoona smiled at me. "No."

I groaned yet again. She patted my head before going to open the door.

Muttering curses, I shoved some cereal into my mouth.

"TODAY IS A GOOD MORNING!" Jungkook shouted happily, making me choke on my breakfast.

Managing not to die and being disappointed over it, I quietly prayed to God in hopes of not having any awkward moments today.

"You alright?" Tae asked, a concerned look on his face as he was a few inches away from me.

I choked yet again as the proximity startled me.

He quickly passed me a glass of water which I gladly took. Calming down, I glared at the cereal bowl.

Alright. That's enough eating and choking for the day.

"I'm done." I looked at Yoona. "Try to keep the noise low. The neighbours complained yesterday when you were out. They seemed to hear...noises." I wiggled my eyebrows, making her throw a piece of crumpled paper onto my face.

Jungkook excitedly came over to me with a huge smile, making me smile back hesitantly.

What was he up to?

"Good morning!" Jungkook smiled before hugging me for no reason. I stood there, confused as to what was happening before hugging him back.

"Morning," I said, not wanting to lie about this morning being good.

"Good morning!" He again said happily before clinging onto Yoona.

"Uhh- yeah sure bud." She awkwardly patted his back so that he would let go. Humming a random tune with a smile on his face, he pulled us out of the house.

"What's wrong with him?" I whispered to Taehyung, who looked tired.

"He's been like this since he woke up. I think it's because of Y/N." He replied, making me nod in realization.

He was slightly ahead of us, saying good morning to every random person he saw.

Not that they were complaining, of course. It was Jeon Jungkook after all.

"You alright?" I asked, not forgetting to ask since he looked exhausted.

"Yeah. Couldn't sleep well last night, though." He said before yawning.

"Me neither," I muttered, remembering how I spent the last night crying over stupid rom coms and cursing my existence yet again for falling in love, I think for real this time.

"Hm?"

"Nothing." I smiled brightly. "Why though? Did you have a bad dream or something?"

"Mm not really. I was just wondering if..."

I stayed quiet, waiting for him to continue.

Kim Taehyung was a genius, and this was no secret. He sat and observed, so quiet that no one would even notice him until he finally had his final verdict.

Nothing has ever slipped past him until now.

And the way he looked at me last night before closing his eyes again...it was the same look.

The same look he gave to people he deciphered.

Did he already know what I realized last night?

"If?" I asked, feeling slightly intimidated that he was staring at my face for quite some time.

Crap. I feel like an open book around him.

"...if I was imagining things." He finished, making me blink.

I thought for a bit, wondering what it could be.

"Hm...and w-"

I paused mid-sentence as the wind hit me harshly, making my hair go crazy. Just then, I understood that he could be talking about me.

Asking him about what it was would result in nothing, so I had to be smart to figure it out.

"And what did you conclude? Were you imagining things?"

"This one was pretty hard to conclude," He began as I tamed my hair and tried putting it into a ponytail. "But..."

He stopped walking, making me pause too. Confused yet again, I turned to look at him.

"Why did you sto-"

He walked a little closer to me and refused to look away from my eyes, making me involuntarily stare back.

We stayed quiet, as we could hear Jungkook enthusiastically shouting good morning to a random person.

Everything just faded into the background as we just stared into each other's eyes, not muttering a word.

I was in a trance, and I couldn't look away.

"I think I'm going to think about it a bit more, but I have a gut feeling that I'm not imagining it." He said before smiling, making me feel weird.

This was nothing like what I felt when I liked Jungkook.

This was a whole new level, and I wasn't ready for this shit early in the morning.

"AYO GUYS! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Jungkook waved from a distance, stopping our staring contest.

I relaxed a bit before taking Tae's hand and running toward Jungkook so that I can stop him from doing anything that scares people away.

This feeling I had with Tae... was quite scary, but I wasn't going to distance myself from him.

I will get to the bottom of this mess and hopefully take the right decision.

This time, I wasn't going to blindly walk on the path of moving on just because he's my best friend.

No. This time, the universe takes the wheel.

I was going to relax and take the back seat. Fuck the fate of the second lead, I'm the main lead in my story.

Mira at family gatherings

"Your acne seems to have worsened." I heard, making me mentally sigh. Food was something I like to enjoy in peace. Who lets this idiot talk?

"Honestly, you should try using more skincare products. It's ruining your face." My judgemental and annoying older cousin said. Putting me down was his favourite activity.

This is why I hated family gatherings.

'"Oh. You finally got a job?'" I asked him before patting his shoulder. '"Good for you! I suppose the job is to judge people?"

'"What-"

"What a coincidence!" I clapped my hands and gave a wide, sarcastic smile to him. " The only thing you ever do in life! Tell me, is God still hiring?"

He blinked, not knowing what to do as everyone else at the table laughed. Forcing himself to join, he secretly glared at my smug self.

I'm Lee Mira bitch, you can't do shit to me.
