Closet Monster

Chapter 25

"There's something going on between the two of you, isn't it?"

Jungkook whipped his head towards the narrow eyed Doyoung pointing his chopsticks at him and the one sitting beside him aka Lily. Soobin put his kimchi down and diverted all of attention on the two of them hearing Doyoung's remark. Gaeul did the same.

"Huh?"Jungkook asked, putting on his best actor face, pretending like he doesn't know what Doyoung is talking about.

Doyoung narrowed his further, judging all of Jungkook as he put a slice of pickled radish in his mouth,"Soobin-ah, don't you think there's something going on between these two?"

Soobin chuckled,"Hyung, what do you mean?"

Doyoung let out a sharp breath,"Don't you see something different about these two? Don't they seem weirdly closer?"

"Hyung, they were always close,"Soobin said.

"Yeah, But there's something up here. Hundred percent. I just can't put my finger on it. So you two better come clean."

"There's literally nothing to come clean about!"Jungkook defended the two of them. There is totally something up between him and Lily. He literally told her he loves her a few nights ago for crying out loud. These few days have absolutely amazing for the two of them. But they've never talked about how much or if they want to tell others about them yet. He knows they are gonna notice that something is up but he doesn't know if he should announce this news so causally while eating dinner at Doyoung's place.

Doyoung shook his head, not buying his words,"You two are planning something, aren't you? You two are purposefully excluding us from the plan. My guess it right, right?"

Jungkook frowned,"What? No. That couldn't be further from.."

"I see all through your web of lies,"Doyoung gave him a scrutinizing gaze, the gaze honestly could've scared Jungkook if he didn't know that Doyoung was the nicest person ever.

"Hyung, really stop talking about this and concentrate on the food. Isn't the bossam really tasty?"Soobin asked trying to divert Doyoung's attention, being able to guess what was actually happening.

Doyoung hissed and then looked at Lily who was eating her gimbap like that's the only thing that matters in the world and they are not even around her.

Jungkook slightly nudged Lily with his elbow, eyes begging her to help him,"Hey, Lily are we planning something? Why don't you tell Doyoung that there's nothing going on."

Lily just continued stuffing her mouth with gimbap. Doyoung turned to Soobin,"See? The way they interact is also a bit different. Ah, why can't I put my finger on it?"

Soobin was trying to make Doyoung understand that what he is thinking isn't correct. While they were talking Jungkook raised his eyebrows at Lily after nudging her again. He really didn't appreciate her not answering after he asked her to tell Doyoung there's nothing up. That just worked in the favor of raising his suspicion more. Lily just shrugged casually and lifted her chopsticks with the gimbap signing him with her eyes to take it if he wants it. That made Jungkook raise his eyebrows even more.

"No, I don't believe this,"Doyoung turned to Lily from Soobin,"Lily, now you better tell me. What's going on?"

"This gimbap place must be really famous,"Lily commented.

"Lily, really. Be serious. I want to know if there's something I should be aware of to save me from future trauma,"Doyoung said,"What are you doing, Lily?"

"Jungkook."

The whole room fell into pin drop silence at Lily's nonchalant but an atom bomb of an answer. Lily smirked after saying that, knowing very well what she's done. Doyoung dropped his chopsticks. Gaeul was confused by the sudden silence. Soobin was stunned trying to process what he just heard.
