i loved you.

O21

jisoo's brows met for the nth time as she once again failed with balancing the sales.

i fucking hate math. i really do!

she doesn't even know why she's suffering with this one. as far as she can remember, she's part of designing team.

gusto niya ng ibalibag ang keyboard kung hindi lang siya nahihiya kay namjoon na kasalukuyang natutulog.

there were only five of them inside the office. namjoon, jungkook, lisa, taehyung and her.

the sales team — yoongi, chaeyoung and jimin, went out together with  jennie, hoseok and seokjin — the marketing team to find sponsors and clients.

under the designing team, jungkook, lisa and jisoo, were also busy for their assigned activities. while namjoon and taehyung, the finance team, doesn't have much to do since it's still the start of the week.

"lisa," mahinang pagtawag ni jisoo sa kaibigan na mukhang walang naririnig dahil nagpapatugtog.

she was bumping her head while facing her computer. jisoo sighed and glanced at jungkook, but he seems so focused on his work.

natahimik nalang muli si jisoo at napasandal sa upuan. should i wait for the others? o gisingin ko nalang si namjoon?

"you need help?" napabalikwas ito ng makarinig ng pamilyar na boses.

kim taehyung was now standing beside her, holding a cup of hot choco.

ni hindi napansin ni jisoo na dumaan pala ito kanina para dumiretso sa kusina.. and she didn't even think of asking help from him.

"ah, hindi na! i'm good!" jisoo smiled at him after shaking her head as a response.

it took taehyung a few seconds before nodding. he stared at her for a while bago tumango at ngumiti.

"okay, good," he chuckled. "i'm taehyung."

jisoo rolled her eyes and scoffed at him. "corny mo."

but taehyung just laughed at her again. bumalik na din ito sa kanyang lamesa at hindi na rin muling lumingon pa si jisoo.

awkward.. was that too awkward? dapat ba nagpatulong nalang ako? nahalata ba nyang umiiwas ako? but why am i even avoiding him? i shouldn't.. right? because we're friends..

she lowered her head down para hindi na siya mapansin pa. nagtago ito sa sariling cubicle at hindi nalang muna pinansin ang ginagawa.

she was too focused on hiding that she unconciously took a nap. nakasubsob ang mukha sa mga brasong nasa lamesa, hindi niya na napansing nakaidlip siya sa lamig at tahimik ng kanilang opisina.

"ji, lunch na," jisoo woke up when she felt someone shaking her shoulders. unti unti itong dumilat at nakaramdam ng mabigat na nakapulupot sa katawan.

she looked down and saw a blanket wrapped around her. nilingon niya si jungkook na nasa gilid na niya at ginigising siya, itinuturo ang kusina para kumain na.

jisoo stood up and stretched her body, before wrapping the blanket around her again. nagiingay na si namjoon at lisa na mukhang nagaaway sa walang kwentang bagay.

taehyung was busy doing something on his own. she wanted to ask if he already ate his lunch but she didn't want her friends to tease her either.

tahimik na lamang itong nagsandok ng ulam at kanin bago nakihalubilo kila namjoon. nagabot ng tubig si jungkook sa kanilang tatlo bago nakiupo sakanila.

"tae, di ka pa kakain?" lisa asked the other.

"not hungry," he says, eyes still focused on the computer. tumawa lamang si namjoon at sinabing masyado siyang workaholic.

"it's because you always tease him that he prefers flirting than working," jungkook laughed but lisa immediately shook her head.

"totoo naman ah! hindi ba, taehyung?"

nambato lang si taehyung ng papel kahit pa medyo malayo ito sakanila. jisoo said nothing and was only focused on eating.

when namjoon finally changed the topic, doon na niya sinubukang humingi ng tulong sa head ng finance team.

"joon, patulong naman ako. may hindi ako maayos kanina eh," she mumbles in a low voice, not wanting to let taehyung hear her.

tumango si namjoon sakanya at sabay na silang pumunta sa kanyang lamesa matapos ilagay ang plato sa lababo.

lisa and jungkook offered to wash the dishes. tumango lamang si jisoo ngunit mukhang nainis pa si namjoon sa dalawa.

"angas ah. ngayon lang kayo nagsisipag pag konti lang yung plato. pag kumpleto tayo ni isang beses di kayo tumutulong."

"dami mong sinasabi pasalamat ka nalang masipag kami," lisa stuck her tongue out to tease him. ginaya naman siya ni jungkook kaya natawa si jisoo at hindi na pinansin ni namjoon.

"asan, ji?"

"dito," she pointed at the opened excel to show him her problems. umupo si namjoon sa kanyang upuan habang ang dalawa naman ay nakihalubilo pa.

"this one?" he asked and she nodded, holding the blanket tight around her.

"tapos na to ah?" namjoon says, creasing his brows.

"ha? eh kakakuha ko lang nyan kanina," jisoo answered. tumango naman si jungkook dahil siya mismo ang nagbigay ng trabaho.

"kaninang bago mag lunch tinatapos na to ni taehyung. diba?" namjoon lightly raised his head to glance at taehyung.

doon napabaling si jisoo sakanya at nakita ang tahimik na panunuod nito sakanila.

"gawin pa ba natin ji? ginagawa na to ni taehyung," yumuko muli si namjoon para tignan mabuti ang laman ng excel, habang nakikielam sila jungkook at lisa.

"i thought you didn't need help?" taehyung raised a brow at her.

hindi nito alam ang isasagot. she tried opening her mouth but closed it afterwards when she realized that she doesn't have any excuse to say.

bumalik ang tingin nito kay jungkook ng bigla itong umayos ng tayo at nilingon si jisoo.

"oy, blanket ko pala yan ah! bakit nasayo?" he pointed at the cotton wrapped around her body.

muling kumunot ang noo ni jisoo at tinignan siya pabalik. "you didn't gave this to me?"

"ako? binigay ko? kailan?" naguguluhan ding tanong ni jungkook.

"earlier while i was sleeping.."

"ha? hindi!" pagiiling ni jungkook.

was it namjoon? lisa? ... taehyung? no. it's definitely not him. it's either namjoon and lisa. i'm sure of that.

"si taehyung ata," bulong ni lisa.

hell no.
