Tough Heart

He was SMOKING HOT.

Tall, muscular, tattoos all over his arm, sharp jaw and an intimidating gaze. I was NOT expecting Jeon Jungkook to look this sexy.

Joo-hei: "Uh, hi..." I greeted him, very awkwardly.

Jungkook: "Hi there pretty lady, what's your name?" he asked me, smirking. "Kinda surprised that bitch here has such a sexy friend." he said, referring to Nayeon.

Did he just call me sexy?! Did someone as fucking hot as him, call ME sexy? Wow, today is a damn lucky day for me.

Nayeon: "Shut the fuck up." she warned. "So, where are your sluts- oh, I mean friends?" she asked him.

Jungkook: "I didn't bring anyone this time, so shut up." he replied, rolling his eyes. "Anyways, what's your name?" he asked me.

Mrs. Jeon: "Jungkook-ah, it's Joo-hei." she answered. "Don't you remember her?"

Jungkook slightly froze when his mother said that. He looked at me, blinked once, blinked twice, scanned me up and down with his mouth and eyes wide open and then stopped.

Jungkook: "Joo-hei, as in Choi Joo-hei, from high school?" he asked in disbelief. "The one I used to hang out with all the time?"

Mr. Jeon: "Yes, son. Why? Are you catching feelings?" he teased. Jungkook glared at his father and then shook his head.

Jungkook: "Nope, just asking." he finished, walking up to the dining table and taking a seat.

We all talked to each other for the rest of lunch and we were having so much fun that we didn't keep a track of time.

I sit on the guest bed, wearing my pajamas as I brush my hair. Today was very fun. We all went to the amusement park nearby and then to the bakery. I was exhausted, but it was worth it. I then blushed, thinking about what happened earlier. No one knows about it. I don't plan on telling anyone anytime soon. I mean, I didn't want to be teased. 

Nayeon: "Had fun?" she asked me as she walked inside the room I was temporarily living in. 

Joo-hei: "Tons of fun." I replied, grinning.

Nayeon: "So, what do you think about Jungkook?" she asked me, smirking.

I chuckled, which came out as a very nervous one. Why am I being nervous? It's just meeting someone who I used to be friends with. Yes he is fucking hot now but that's really the only thing. I mean, he did become much more flirty and a completely different person but- wait, what am I doing?

Nayeon: "Julie? JULIE? Earth to Joo-hei!" I heard someone call out and looked at Nayeon.

Joo-hei: "H-Huh?" I asked her, confused. Nayeon smirked.

Nayeon: "Nothing. Nothing at all. You can go back to daydreaming about my brother now." she teased, running out of the room before I could hit her with my hairbrush. 

I just rolled my eyes and finished combing my hair, putting it back and going to sleep.

Dad: "Jungkook-ah, it's Joo-hei." he answered.

I froze. Joo-hei? I looked at the woman in front of me in disbelief. I almost gasped when I thought about how she used to look back in high school.

She used to have bangs, coffee brown hair, and wear the nerdiest outfits. I mean, I can't be talking about nerdy because I was just like that but now? Joo-hei was hot as hell.

Now, she has black hair, no bangs, red lipstick, and just about the hottest dress that I have ever seen on a woman. She was 100% bang-able. 

Jungkook: "Joo-hei, as in Choi Joo-hei from high school?" I asked him, shocked. "The one I used to hang out with all the time?"

Dad: "Yes, son. Why? Are you catching feelings?" he teased. I glared at him and then shook my head. 

"Nope, just asking."

I walked out of the bathroom after taking a bath and changing my clothes. I was about to go on my phone and do some shit when I heard someone talking. I smirked when I recognized the voice. It was Joo-hei's.

Joo-hei: "Yeah, I'm okay here. Why are you calling me?" I heard her voice speak, very harshly. I thought for a second before realizing who it was. It was her parents calling.

Joo-hei had never had a nice relationship with her family. I remember how much she used to cry because they forced her to study and get 100% every time. I remember Nayeon comforting her. I remember her being invited to all our family parties because her parents never celebrated. And finally, I remember how much fun we used to have when we spent time together. 

I opened my bedroom door and walked towards her as she declined the call. She turned around to see me smirking at her.

Joo-hei: "O-Oh, h-hey Jeon." she greeted, startled. I internally smiled. "Jeon" is what she used to call me. I guess she still remembers our memories.

Jungkook: "Hey, Julie." I greeted her, walking closer. I was the one who gave her that nickname and it still makes me possessive whenever I hear others using that name. 

Joo-hei: "Uh- how have you been...?" she asked me, awkwardly. I chuckled.

Jungkook: "Why are you being so awkward?" I asked. She looked at me for a second before chuckling. 

Joo-hei: "I just- it's been a while." she answered. "10 long years actually."

Jungkook: "True." I answered. "Should I suggest something to break the ice?" I asked her, walking closer and closer towards her. 

Joo-hei: "I- uh, t-there are people h-here." she blurted out.

Jungkook: "So you would allow me to what we both know you're thinking if there was nobody here?" I asked her, tilting my head to the side.

By now, I was so close to her that if she moved, we would be kissing. 

Joo-hei: "Sure, actually." she responded, staring at my lips. I looked at her in disbelief. Girl has gained some confidence. "I need to go." she said, pushing me away and walking into the guest room. I just chuckled and walked back into my room.

I stared at the ceiling, thinking about Jungkook. Wait- why am I think about him? I just shook my head, closing my eyes and falling back into sleep. 

Don't think about him Joo-hei. He's just a friend. Just a friend.
