Yoongi pov

I was shocked when I saw Jungkook blurting out sh*t about Aami. She doesn't deserve to hear all of that. She stopped crying after some time.

"Don't get involved in this. Let him be. I guess, he needs time." I widened my eyes. How can someone doubt a sweetheart like her?

Jimin, Aami and I went back to class. We ignored Jungkook all day. Jimin and I decided not to talk about this to Hobi and Tae.

After classes Han teacher called me and spoke about getting into universities. I told him I was participating in music competition. He told me I am eligible to get into Seoul university.

I left the staff room and was walking out when I saw Hobi limping upstairs.

"Um.. Hi. You need help?"

"Actually, Yes. Can you take this assignment and give it to our mathematics teacher?" he asked.

"Yes." I took the assignment and ran upstairs. I went to our math teacher table. He wasn't there. I searched for the assignment piles on his table. I found the other section pile and placed his on it. When I left the room, I felt someone's gaze on me. I looked around but didn't find anyone.

Hobi was waiting for me downstairs. I went down to him.

"Let's go." We left for home. On the way back home, I came clean in front of Hobi about my thoughts and confusion. He seemed relieved. Fortunately, he understood my position and gave me some time.

When we reached my home, I turned towards him.

"Thank you for understanding and once again sorry for hurting you that day."

"It's okay. It was new for both of us. I was confused too." He came closer. "But now I am sure."

"Ha?" I gulped at closeness.

"Yoongi, I swear I am not lying to you about this. Trust me when I say this." He looked nervous but firm. He stepped more closer which made me step back but he grabbed my waist. "I like you, Yoongi. I really like you. From the first day. I know it sounds creepy but trust me. I am not lying." My eyes were wide. They might pop out. How could he just confess in front of my home?

My heart is beating as fast as Deachwita song. He smiled and left me all flustered.

Hobi pov

My heatu...oh my heartu! It is about to explode. I just confessed my feelings to Yoongi. I don't how he will take it but I had to confess. I am feeling like a huge weight is removed from my shoulder.

Now, I need to study for tomorrow's evaluation test.

Next day, Yoongi and I reached school and met Jimin and Aami. Something's not right. They seemed a bit off. I guess it's because of test.

They went into the class. We told each other 'All the best' and I left for my class. Before entering the class, I heard few students gossiping. Usually, I ignore gossips but I heard Aami's name. I went to them and asked what they were talking about.

"She didn't tell you? Of course, she might be embarrassed."

"Don't beat around the bushes. Just tell me already."

"She is after Kim Taehyung and also she stole Jungkook's notes. Yesterday they had a huge fight on the ground. I am shocked, no one told you."

"What?! Don't go around school talking bullshit about my friends." I was ready to fight them.

"I am not spreading rumors. This is true. If you don't believe me ask your friends. Jungkook accused Aami. We didn't do anything."

Is this true? Why didn't anyone tell me? Does Tae know about all this?

After exam I went to Aami's section. I didn't see them. So, I left for cafeteria thinking they might be there. On the way I saw Kookie worried about something. He was sitting on a chair near wending machine.

I approached him.

"Kookie? Are you okay?" he looked at me and then down.

"I don't want to talk right now, Hobi. Please leave."

I frowned and sat beside him. "Is it true? I mean... people are talking about you guys fighting. Is it true?"

"Why? Didn't they tell you?"

"Oh god! It is true!" I was more than shocked. "Why?"

"Leave, Hobi. Go ask them."

"Why will I go there when actual problem is here?"

"What? You think I am the problem?" I nodded. "I am leaving." He was about to go but stopped when I said.

"Tae and you broke up?"

"She told you this?"

"No! She didn't. It was obvious. You guys weren't talking. We figured it out. Why do you keep blaming Aami?"

"I didn't blame her."

"You did. You know she cares for you so much and still you talked about her in this way."

"I did nothing wrong. I said nothing wrong."

"Look, Kookie. Stop thinking that you are the only person on earth who has issues. Everyone's suffering. All of us need someone to lean on. I've observed you. You don't share your issues because you think we pity you. But we don't. We never did. Not even once."

"I don't want to ta-"

"Where were your notes? Because I know Aami didn't steal them. "

"They were in my bag."

"And you blamed her. " I clapped my hands slowly. "Do you even know what happened to Tae? Did you talk to him?" he looked at me. "You didn't. See? The problem is you. You think, just because you are not privileged all the issues are in your life alone. But that's not true. Come out of your misunderstandings. And what is it about Tae and Aami? You know more than anyone. Aami likes Jimin and no one else. Tae loves you and no one else. You messed it up, Kookie. Do something. We don't want to lose you." I left him and went to cafeteria.

I saw Jimin, Aami and Yoongi talking. I went to them.

"Oh! Hobi. Where is Tae?" Jimin asked.

"He had a shoot. He left as soon as he finished test. Well, how was your test?" I asked.

"Good. Better than last week." Aami answered. I smiled at her.

"I don't know. Every time I solve test, I feel like I should work harder." Jimin told us.

"I don't think that's the case. You already do a great job, Jimin. Don't doubt your efforts. Because your hard work inspires me a lot." Aami encouraged Jimin.

"Mine was-" Yoongi was cut off.

"We know." Jimin, Aami and I said in unison that made us all laugh.

I hope we all come back to how we were.

We hope too Hobi ❤❤
