Long Lasting Love

Chapter 9

A few days have passed since that night, and Chaeyoung and Jungkook are now walking to school hand in hand. After Chaeyoung had calmed down, she told Jungkook that she wasn't completely confident about her feelings for him yet and that she wanted to take things slow. Jungkook said that was perfectly fine by him, as long as he could hold her hand whenever he wanted.

Entering school that Wednesday, the couple were in their own world. They were so deep that it took Lisa pulling Chaeyoung away from him to get her attention.

"Wait Lisa," demanded Chaeyoung as she pried Lisa's hand off her arm."What is going on? Tell me."

"Chaeyoung, I can't believe the mess you've gotten yourself into," said Lisa as she face palmed and shook her head in disappointment. This confused Chaeyoung greatly, as well as Jungkook who had caught up to the two girls now and was listening in.

"Not only does Jaehyun want to get you back and get rid of Jungkook, but Tzuyu, the most popular girl in school confessed to him before anything between you to happened," exclaimed Lisa without breathing or explaining anything.

"Wait, what?" The couple said in unison.

"Meet me after school in the dance studio," she said before leaving the couple.

"Okay, I think I understand the situation a little better now," said Jisoo, being the first person to make a comment on the matter.

"I just can't believe that Jungkook would lie to every single girl he turned down," said Jennie, who seemed to find the idea appalling.

"Nah, he lied to us and his parents about the matter as well," explained Taehyung with a 'It doesn't matter' look on his face."Beisdes, the fact that he has been using the same excuse for 6 years is more surprising than it being a lie."

"Well, it wasn't necessarily a lie the entire time," interrupted Jungkook, the person who had pretty much refused to talk the entire time."Though I liked Chaeyoung in middle school, I had refused to date regardless in middle school. I felt immature in middle school, so dating was something I felt was still out of reach."

"I swear you are just way too self-aware," said Jimin as he placed his finger and thumb on his temples.

"Anyways," began Lisa she tried to get everyone back on topic,"What is the plan?"

The room went silent as everyone started thinking of ways to deal with this situation. The fact that it was this hard to even go a week without something happening to the new couple was appalling, and the most popular girl in the school getting involved made the situation even more difficult. The group was stuck in a terrible position and that caused them to have a team meeting after school.

"I think that Jungkook should talk to her."

The group that was once deep in thought had become slack jawed, staring at the person that had such a bold idea. The idea itself wasn't entirely the issue, it was also the person who said it.

"C-Chaeyoung," stuttered Jimin as he spoke to his sister,"a-are you sure?"

She nodded yes as her response and slowly lowered her head in embarrassment. She felt weird with all the people staring at her in awe. However, when she felt someone wrap their arms around her the embarrassment left.

"If you think that's what I should do, I'll do it Chaeng," said Jungkook as he lifted up Chaeyoung's head and smiled at her. His words were full of warmth and kindness, causing her heart to beat faster as she looked at him. She returned the smile and the hug with happiness spread across her face.
