"So what are you going to do?" Yoongi asked, looking at me.

"Maybe eat chocolate ice cream later on. I've been craving ice cream since the song 'Ice Cream' came out." I replied and shrugged.

"You know that's not what I meant." He deadpanned, making me sigh.

"I don't know, Yoongi. The fuck am I even supposed to do?"

"Well, you know your true feelings for him. Why don't you confess?"

"It's the fear," I said after a moment of silence. "The fear that nothing is going to be the same. I know things change all the time but this one is just so...so terrifying. What if he rejects me? What's going to happen between us? Can you guarantee that everything will be fine?" I questioned, only to be met with silence.

I sighed before continuing. "You know this isn't a movie. No one is guaranteed a happy ending. Heck- even fanfictions have sad endings."

"And what if he also has feelings for you?" He retorted, making me shake my head.

"If he does, what happens next? Do we date? What if that doesn't work out? This is years of friendship...I just don't want to throw it away because of my stupid feelings." I grumbled, making him sigh.

"Your feelings are not stupid." He lectured. "There's a reason you have them in the first place. And I cannot guarantee that everything will be alright because I don't know the future, but I think if you stay this way...nothing is going to be okay." He explained.

"Huh?" I said, scratching my head slightly. "You lost me at the future because I was picturing my non-existent wedding with my idol."

He hit my shoulder before muttering 'stupid', making me let out an offended noise. Before I could justify myself though, he continued.

"I mean," he started. "You had feelings for Jungkook right?"

"Yea- wait. How the heck do you know about that?!" I asked, making him shake his head.

"I have my ways."

"Huh," I muttered before shrugging. "Yeah. I did. What about it?"

"That wasn't love. Yet, keeping it a secret and hiding your feelings affected you a lot. Yes or yes?" He asked, making me snort.

"Yes." I nodded, confirming what he was thinking.

"And this is love. Love ain't no joke. It's so confusing and deep that once you fall into it, you become blind. You don't realise it's stupid, even if it comes and slaps you in the face. Imagine trying to keep those feelings at bay." He said, making me shudder.

"Take me as an example. My ex-girlfriend was someone I loved for 3 years. I did stupid things which seemed right to me, and they were so, so wrong." He explained in detail as I listened carefully. " Soon, I took every little detail to notice- all the red flags. She was hurting me for her benefit, which is why I broke up with her." He said.

"Oh-"

"Anyway, take your time but confess. It'll be so relieving, I promise. If you get rejected? No big deal. This is years of friendship. One failed confession isn't going to bring it down. A few awkward weeks, yeah, and nothing is going to be the same." He said shrugging.

"It doesn't mean the end of the world though, and you both will be close. Maybe even closer than before, knowing that you've spoken your true feelings that you're scared to even admit to yourself. That could make people's connection even deeper." He said, making me think.

"If he accepts and it doesn't work out? Well, fuck it. It means you're not meant to be, and being friends is a great thing for you. It might be hard to accept it and go back to normal terms, but you'll get there. That is something I can truly guarantee." He said honestly.

"It honestly depends on people and in these past few days, I've understood that you're not the kind to dwell on things for too long. Same with Taehyung. So you've got nothing to worry about." He assured.

"Wow. Thanks, Yoongi. That...that means a lot." I said sincerely, making him turn slightly red in embarrassment.

"Whatever." He waved me off, making me smile.

We were going to be best buddies very soon.

"Now that we're done talking about my love life," I cleared my throat. "I've seen the looks you're giving Jimin-"

"Would you look at the time?" He said, looking at his empty wrist with wide eyes. "It is time for me to get the hell out of here. Bye." He waved before running away, making me chuckle evilly.

Min Yoongi, I'm onto you.

Ping.

I looked at my phone to see a notification from Jimin.

Flirt Master 2🥂 is online

Flirt Master 2🥂:

There's a crisis
Hurry up

Me:
Oh boy
Omw

Flirt Master 2🥂 went offline

Furrowing my eyes in confusion, I slowly walked back to the cafeteria.

I was just gone for 10 minutes. What could have happened?

Looking at our table, a pit of worry grew in my stomach as I saw Y/N looking slightly stressed and Jungkook missing.

"What happened?" I asked everyone as soon as I walked up to them, only to be met by silence.

Jimin was fidgeting with his fingers, Taehyung was staring at his food and Y/N looked uncomfortable.

"Guys." I sighed, trying not to show my concern. It couldn't possibly be that bad. "What. Happened."

"A guy came over," Jimin started, making me look at him. "And he started a conversation with Y/N."

That couldn't be so bad.

"It started friendly, but it escalated to a little bit more, with lingering touches. Just when Y/N was being to voice her concern, we all saw Jungkook storm off." He explained, making me facepalm.

Of course, this hot-headed fool would think she has feelings for a random guy who she barely saw.

"I think I'll go find him," I said, making everyone nod.

"Want me to join after giving you both a little bit of time?" Taehyung asked, making me smile.

"Yeah, that would be great," I responded before looking at Y/N.

"Hey," I said softly, making her look at me. "It's going to be fine. I'll talk to him." I reassured, making her smile thankfully. Nodding at Jimin, I walked away to find Jungkook.

If I were a jealous coconut head who can't leave campus, where would I be hiding?

In an empty room.

Quickly checking every room, I tried to find him.

"Jungkook?" I barged into an empty room, my voice echoing as I found no one.

This was going to take some time.

"Jungkoo- oh my God." I closed the door immediately after seeing two of my professors make out.

Snorting at how both of their names were Professor Kim and they already seemed like a married couple, I checked another class.

"Gotcha," I muttered to myself as I finally found him in a class on the last bench, his head on the table.

Walking towards the bench, I sat down beside him with a comfortable distance between us. He looked up to see me before dropping his head onto the table again.

We waited in silence for a few minutes, before Jungkook spoke up.

"How much more time till break ends?"

"Fifteen minutes." I checked the time before looking at him. "Plenty of time. Wanna start?"

He sighed before looking away. "It's stupid."

"I know." I nodded. "Tell me anyway."

"I...I knew." He started, looking very awkward and guilty. "I knew it was just a random guy that Y/N barely knew and she was just being friendly. She's been doing that a lot recently since her walls are slowly going down." He chuckled before grimacing.

"And yet, I stormed away. Not only because of jealousy though. Because of..." He paused, not knowing how to explain.

Oh boy.

"Look at me," I ordered, making him reluctantly turn in my direction. "You like her more than you thought, don't you?"

He blinked, before nodding slowly.

"Yeah...I do. And I'm just so confused and scared. You know, it was just a crush in the beginning. I was fine with it. It soon developed into a friendship. I loved where we were. We were comfortable, I finally stopped stuttering too much-" I snorted.

"Except that one night." He glared at me before continuing again. "And now...I realize I like her more than I thought I did. I'm...I'm so confused. What do I do?" He asked, ruffling his hair in frustration.

"It's normal," I reassured. "I've been there once. Falling for my friend. The realization hits all of a sudden, and you don't know what to do."

"What did you do? And why am I knowing about this only now?" He asked, looking interested.

"Because you're a dense little shit," I said before smiling. "So am I, though. Took me a talk from a queen to realise that I've moved on." I spoke fondly before grinning.

"Anyway, I did nothing about the feelings. Kept it a secret. The feelings faded away in a few years. Or maybe earlier. I don't know when." I answered honestly.

"Oh." He said, nodding before looking straight ahead. "I understood absolutely nothing about the queen part, by the way."

"Yeah. I know." I waved him off.

"So the feelings...just faded away?"

"Yeah...but then again," I sighed. "My goal was to make the feelings fade away. So it was my choice. I liked him, but I was afraid of being in a relationship. So I wanted the feelings to fade away so that I won't come in his way of a happy relationship. I felt like I couldn't give him that even if he liked me back." I explained, making him look at me again.

"My advice to you? Figure yourself out. Get your shit together. Do you want a relationship? Confess. Do you want to stay as friends? Confess and get closure."

"Why can't I keep it a secret like you?" He complained, making me chuckle.

"It makes you miserable. Looking at them with others...the jealousy, everything. It just makes you miserable. So it's better to let it all out." I explained, making him nod.

"Fair. So who is the guy you liked?"

"An idiot who also can't figure his shit out." I smiled.

He blinked before slowly looking at me.

"Oh my God." His eyes widened.

"Yeah." I nodded before looking away. "You guessed it."

I can't believe I finally got the balls to say it. Indirect or not, I don't care.

"It's Yoongi?!"

"Ye- wait no." I facepalmed. "Nevermind. I'll tell you another day." I shook my head, making him chuckle.

So much for finally telling him.

Wondering why it was so silent all of a sudden, I turned to look at him, who was already staring at me.

"What?" I asked, chuckling nervously at the intense gaze he held.

He muttered something as he stared at me.

"Huh?" My eyebrows furrowed as I couldn't hear what he said. I scooted a little closer so I could hear him better. "What did you sa-"

And nothing could prepare me for what happened next.

Because Jeon fucking Jungkook leaned in...

And he kissed me.

Take a moment to let that sink in.

Everything just stopped as I stared at Jungkook with wide eyes, who was cupping my face with his right hand. His eyes were closed as he moved his lips against mine gently.

I had played this scene out a lot in my head, but I never thought it would happen.

My brain started working and I was just about to pull away when Taehyung barged in.

"Geez. Finally, I found yo-" He paused midway with wide eyes as I pushed Jungkook away.

Silence.

We all stayed silent for a full minute, just staring at each other. Soon, the realization hit all of us. Me being the first.

I stood up from where I sat, not looking at the both of them.

"Mira..." Jungkook started. "Wait-"

Not knowing what to do or say, I did what I always do best.

I ran away.

I slightly pushed past Taehyung and ran away, not bothering to hear anything coming out of Jungkook.

I didn't want to hear anything right now.

I had no idea what just happened, but I knew for sure that it would bring problems for me. And right now, I didn't want to deal with it.

Coward or not, I was not going to stay and sort it out. Not yet.

Just for a little time. I want to stay in the bubble of denial.

I'll come back to the real world, but for now, I'd rather not.

Sometimes, the real world is too much for everyone. If you can afford it, take a break. If not, I wish you the best of luck to deal with it.
