73. Missing the point

Thank you for your patience! 🙏🤗 I'm back from my Euro Trip, full of good vibes and energy, and ready to go back to my normal writing routine! Excited for this last ride with you!! 🥰️ Let's gooo!

11 PM | Jungkook

I scratched the label of the beer in my hand.

Should I stay?

I could see my tired face reflected in the green glass.

Should I go?

My thumb kept on scraping the paper. I bit on my lower lip, wondering what I wanted to do.

I checked the time on my watch.

11:36 PM.

The party was probably coming to an end now. We had a long day tomorrow. Taehyung and Micha's parents were there too. So it was probably not gonna last all night.

"Yah, Jungkook-ah..."

I looked up to Eun Woo. He walked back from the convenience store with a warm plate of tteokbokki [spicy rice cake].

"Are you gonna be like that all night?" he grimaced before smirking, his arm extending to give me a pair of chopsticks.

"Like what?" I mumbled back, already engulfing a big serving of food.

My friend answered with a long sigh, sitting down on the plastic stool in front of me.

"Sad."

My eyes fluttered on him, my cheeks filled with tteokbokki.

"I'm notch schad..." I grumbled back with a pout.

Eun Woo laughed. I frowned.

"The last time I saw you like that was when that girl rejected you..." he said, taking a sip of his beer.

That girl?

"Micha?" I spoke, taking a sip of mine.

"Oh!" Eun Woo's eyebrows rose up with the realization. "Now that you mention it... Her too!" he giggled. "But there was another one..."

"The dancer?" I offered this time, getting pensive too.

I remembered Eun Woo mentioning it during the Show or Tell game before summer. Unfortunately for me, he seemed to clearly recall the fling I had with that hot dancer... Who was engaged.

He frowned, munching on a bite of tteokbokki, a deep-thinking look on his face.

"Her too... But wasn't there also a trainee? A long time ago?" he remembered, tilting his head to the side.
