Scars

Chapter 8

Rosé's POV:

We met up every day. Same time, same place. He helped me improve and as we practiced and practiced, we became... friends. I know it's pretty unusual for Gryffindors and Slytherins, but he is actually a very nice guy. But somehow, every time we meet, my chest hurts more and more. It feels like someone is squeezing my heart simultaneously. It hurts a lot.
I haven't told anyone yet. Not even Jisoo. Maybe I should, but I don't want to be a burden to her.

One week left to practice for the tournament. I was walking down the Great Hall. There were barely any people. No wonder, it was almost 7 in the morning and school starts at 9. I didn't see any of my friends, they were most likely asleep, they weren't morning people. Even though my day just started, I was already looking forward to practicing with Jungkook. I sat down at the table, about to stuff myself with belgian waffles and blueberry pancakes, when Tzuyu came stomping in my direction. She wielded her wand, causing me to be slammed against the wall, the table behind us breaking into pieces.
Then she slapped me very hard and started ranting at me.

"You ugly bitch! How dare you take away MY Jungkook-ah! Why did you have to do this to me? You don't deserve him!"

She continued shouting at me. At first, I was a little confused, what did I do wrong? Did she know about us practicing together every evening?

She was about to cast a spell on me when I pulled out my wand and murmured a protection spell, causing her spell to get deflected. I was so full of her rants.

"Just to get things straight, Jungkook and I are in a team and we are friends. Also, as far as I know Jungkook rejected you a few days ago, so he was never 'yours' and probably will never be anyway. Suck it up. Stop taking your anger out on me, blame yourself for being a bitch. And to be honest, with your attitude I don't think anyone would like you"

Then I walked off. I don't know what happened to me. I've never stood up for myself against Tzuyu, guess Jennie's savagery was rubbing off on me.

I was walking back to my room, lost in my thoughts, thinking what else I could've done to Tzuyu, when I bumped into someone.

I was about to curse, when the person crouched down to look at me. Jungkook. I felt blood rushing into my face, my heart beating at least 10 times faster. At least, that's what it felt like. My face is probably as red as a tomato right now.

"We seem to always bump into each other" He said, smiling brightly.

"Yeah, maybe it's because destiny wants us to" I murmured quietly to myself, but seems like I said it a little too loudly.

"Or maybe it's because you are always lost in your thoughts..."

I looked away, a little embarrassed.

"What were you thinking about earlier? Let me guess, me? Practice?"

"In your dreams!"

He laughed "I was joking. But seriously, what happened? Your face looked like something was bothering you"

"No, it's nothing. I just had a little disagreement with Tzuyu"

"Tzuyu? What did she say?"

I hesitated. Should I tell him that she claimed I took him away from her? Better not, he might take it differently.

"She claimed to be your girlfriend, I corrected her"

"As always ... wait a second ... do I sense some jealousy?"

"NO! I just don't like people who don't tell the truth and seek attention. Anyways, I have to go and prepare for school. See you later!" I said and ran off.

Well done, Rosé! You escaped the devil's trap!

Jungkook's POV:

I smiled. How adorable. I went to the Great Hall to have some breakfast. My stomach was growling loudly because I didn't have dinner yesterday. What was the reason? Well simple, I spent too many hours playing Overwatch. And eating dinner at 11pm ruins my throat and stomach...

The Great Hall was a mess, just as I had expected. The tables were flipped over, some chairs were broken, food was spilt everywhere. Seems like the 'little' disagreement wasn't so 'little' at all.

I saw Tzuyu, crying in the corner of the hall, her best friend Nayeon comforting her. She has been like that since I rejected her. Crying literally all the time, being super sensitive about everything, letting her anger out on innocent people. I low-key feel sorry for her, but at the same time I don't. She should face reality and move on.

I ignored her and wielded my wand. Reparo! Scourgefy! Everything made its place like it was before. The waffles and pancakes were stacked on plates, the bread slices were placed in small baskets and the sunnyside - ups and pieces of bacon were sizzling in the frying pan. I was satisfied with myself, I don't want her to get into trouble only because she was defending herself against Tzuyu, who most likely lost her temper again.

I sat down and started making Instant Ramen, my favorite breakfast. People might not call that healthy, but I don't care. Ramen for breakfast is life.

While I was inhaling the noodles, I thought about Chae. Why did I clean up her mess? "Obviously because you like her", I heard a voice in the back of my head. No. Never.

Suddenly, I felt someone jump on my back. I immediately knew who it was. There was only one person.

Jimin.

"Jungkook-ah!"

"Jimin-ssi! You scared the hell out of me!"

He gave me his contagious laugh and patted my shoulder.

"What were you thinking about? Your girl?"

"She isn't my girl. No, just a dream I had recently."

"What dream?"

"There was a little girl with black hair. We were on a meadow and the sun was shining. She was running towards me, smiling, but she never reached me. I don't know who she is, she had no face."

"Hmm, weird. Maybe it's a childhood memory."

"But I don't remember anything about my childhood before I met you."

"God Jungkook-ah, you have had amnesia since you were 6. I think your memories are slowly coming back and that's a good thing."

"I'm not sure if I want to know what caused my amnesia."

"Don't you want to find out the truth?"

"Jimin-hyung, I'm scared. Why don't you tell me what happened?"

"Because I can't give you details. I only know from my parents, who were told by your parents. The possibility of me telling you complete bullshit is pretty high. Do you want to be kept in the dark forever? Sooner or later, you were gonna find out anyways. Face it, find out yourself. This is the least hurtful way."
