*Flashback*
She smiles widely. “WORLDWIDE HANDSOME,” Jisoo says and starts giggling. I chuckle alongside cuz really, it has turned into a meme now. Jesus, why did I have to act so brave and say all those things in a..shop.
“I’m feeling much better, thanks,” she says reluctantly. “What can I say, I have that effect on people,” I boast and she punches me playfully.
“Anyways, it’s late now, I should get going..” She says while climbing down the bunk bed and wearing her sneakers. As soon as she does, her lips pull up into a smile and she adds, “See you tmrw, SeokJin.”
I hop down from the bunk bed and smile. As soon as we go outside, a familiar voice greets us. “Oh hey guys..”
I turn around, astonished. “Um hi Lia,” I say. I felt like killing myself right now. What just happened?
“Uh um, Jungkook had called me over and uh can you tell me where he is?” She asks. I could, for some reason, make out that she was hurt by smg..or someone. It was evident by her tone. My eyes turn to Jisoo, who was so startled that she couldn’t even utter a word.
“Hi Jisoo,” lia says, softly.
“Uh hi.”
Lia passes me a look and then briskly turns around, creating a heavy sound with her heels.
I walk toward her, forgetting altogether that Jisoo is here too.
“Jungkook’s not at home right now,” I say. It’s true, no one other than me and Jisoo were in the dorm. Now Lia is here too.
“Oh I see,” she looks down.
“Okay, I’ll come back later, thanks bye,” she was about to turn away when all of a sudden, I grabbed her arm. “Um hey, did something happen?” I ask.
She looks down sadly, but then turns to look at me. “No nothing. I just don’t feel that happy to be ditched,” she says. I nod and then add, thinking that this is the perfect opportunity.
“You wanna go for a walk?” I ask. She smiles sweetly. “Sure.”
By the time I turn around to tell Jisoo, she was already gone. Oh...uh ok.
“Okay, let’s go.”
I slip into my shoes and accompany her outside.
It was cold, ngl. I was almost shivering, but her mere touch made me feel warm. “So..what’s up?” I ask.
“Well nothing much ig, what about u?”
I look down. “Nothing..Um I’m excited for prom tho.” Um no I wasn’t really excited.
She nods, “Ye-yea me too.”
Right then we were interrupted by someone.
“Jinnnn Liaaaaa,” the drunk man’s voice echoes. “Jungkook?”
He comes closer and smiles. “In the flesh,” he sarkily replies.
I could smell the fresh smell of gin and tequila coming strongly from him.
He looks at Lia and smirks.
“Oh good that I saw you,” he says and approaches her, putting his hand on her neck and kissing her.
I feel angry and jealous all of a sudden as I see Jungkook completely enjoying her.
“Hey, man, stop. You’re drunk,” I say while putting a hand on his shoulder. He shoves it away and moans.
Lia tries stepping back but is unable to due to his grasp on her hips. “Stop I said!” I push him away. He wipes his mouth and passes me a dirty look.
“Why do you care? You already have your toy,” he says. Lia looks at me, surprisingly.
“What?” i ask, even though I knew what he was gonna say and I didn’t want to hear it either.
“Uk..J, I, S”
He starts saying alphabets that got me even more angry. “Shut up dude. Ur drunk, go home.”
Jungkook scoffs and then looks sideways at me. “Ok..Keep telling yourself that you don’t like her.”
“You know who I like,” I snap.
“Lia? Oh really?”
I look down. My eyes however catch her reaction. Shocked.
“...”
“U don’t know anything about love,” he says, rudely.
I pass him a speak-for-yourself look.
“Hey, neither do I. I can admit that,” He yells while walking away. Sheesh, I hate Jungkook when he’s drunk.
My gaze swiftly turns towards Lia.
“You like me?” she asks.
I look down. I think she considered that as a yes cuz her expression changes.
She comes walking toward me. “But..why didn’t ask me to the prom then?”
“Cuz I knew you wouldn’t say yes.”
“Guess again.”
I look up to see her smiling.
