Chapter 15

"Here, take it," Jungkook said, handing me a napkin.

"What's this for?" I asked, looking at it.

"Here," he said, leaning closer to me. He wiped something off my face and then threw away the napkin. I touched my face where he had wiped. "Ice cream...you had ice cream on your face..."

"Oh..." I said, feeling my face turn red.

How was I in this position again? Well...it was Hyeri's fault. We were both walking out of class when she suddenly bumps into...guess who? Kim Taehyung. She fell on the floor swearing. Taehyung, maybe trying to piss her off, started laughing very hard. In turn, Hyeri punched him in the stomach. He held his stomach like it really hurt him, but I could see that it didn't even scratch him. They acted like a real couple like how I saw Taehyung's face brighten up and how Hyeri smiled after punching him.

But that wasn't the worse part.

Jungkook oppa was there to. He was leaning against the gate like he always did.

Hyeri had to run up to him and say, "Jungkook Sunbae? You're here to see Jieun aren't you?"

He just looked at her with shock. He probably never met anyone so blunt before. That's my friend...

"Why don't you take her for ice cream? She loves ice cream," Hyeri said smiling.

"Wait—" Taehyung said, but Hyeri stepped on his feet. He yelled so loudly that the courtyard full of girls turned to look. Thanks a lot Hyeri...that's more unneeded attention.

"You...want to go for ice cream?" Jungkook asked, looking at me.

...

......

...

I could feel my face going red.

"S-Sure..." I muttered, looking at Hyeri's nodding head.

Eom Hyeri, you are going to die.

And that's how I am here walking with ice cream in my hands.

"Your friend is blunt, isn't she?" Jungkook asked, licking his spoon. He looked very childlike doing that, something I thought I would never see. Maybe he had a different side to him...one that I've never seen before.

Arin mentioned to me small things about Jungkook. He loved basketball. He's usually cold and expressionless. He never smiles. He would say anything that pleases him whenever he wants and whatever he wants. It didn't hurt that he was a great fighter too. And that was all she knew. Not that I asked her for the information...she told me herself...

"Yes...but then it can get her into trouble sometimes," I muttered, trying to keep up with the melting ice cream.

"But I guess it is a good thing huh?" he asked, looking at me.

"Huh?"

"Or we wouldn't be here right now," he said simply.

Arin was right. He said whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. He reminded me of Hyeri...

What was he trying to say...?

"Oh..." I said.

"You usually like eating ice cream when it's freezing?" he asked, looking at me.

"It doesn't need to be hot to eat ice cream," I said smiling. This time seemed a little different from the way he talked to me. He was...actually talking to me.

"You like strawberry?" he asked suddenly after a moment of silence.

"Yes. It's sweet, but not too sweet. My turn," I said suddenly, thinking of something.
