The Better Ones [JeongMin]

Chapter 19: Park Jimin II

Entry 31:

It was me who was supposed to be teasing her but... ahhh how could this woman be so careless??? She tried to kiss me! My precious lips! My face felt hot. Shit.

Entry 32:

So Rosé easily lent me her car when I told her that Jeongyeon slept in our house.

Entry 33:

Is driving beside Jeongyeon a good idea? Why does she stare at me like... never mind.

Entry 34:

I talked to Rosé about The Pharktom again. I told her about my plan of confronting Jeongyeon and helping her. She disagreed and said that I do not have an idea how vicious The Pharktom could be and the best thing to do now is just to let things happen. Meaning, to let Jeongyeon write about me and just ignore it.

She even suggested that I play along.

Entry 35:

It's Assembly day! Dahyun texted me this morning about the "dare". I brought a rose... just in case.

Entry 36:

I already made up my mind. I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't come up the stage. I was about to throw the rose before coming to the venue but I hesitated.

When she started playing, everyone's attention— even those who hate her— was on her. I gulped. It was a magical moment. Everything went blurred and I suddenly started walking until I reached her.

After playing the piano, she stood up. I couldn't figure out what she was feeling. I took a step but was suddenly halted by some people.

Entry 37:

She fucking attacked me!!! And our video went viral!! She also got suspended. Pfftttttttttt.

Entry 38:

So Jin-hyung wants me to continue writing about Jeongyeon. I kind of feel bad, but he's the boss. And somehow, I feel like getting to know her would be fun. As a part of our deal, I asked Dahyun to start spying on her.

Entry 39:

She was a black belter. Hot.

Entry 40:

I missed her.

She said her friends would probably ditch her after reading my poem for her. And if that happens, I'm stuck with her. Huh, that terrified me, really. I swear. Uhhh, why can't I stop smiling when I think about it?

Entry 41:

Jihyo asked what I feel about Jeongyeon. In all honesty, I am confused too. Her article about me and Ryujin didn't help with our relationship. It even became worse. So, even though I enjoy Jeongyeon's company, pursuing her doesn't seem to be the right move.

Also, Jihyo confirmed that Jeongyeon doesn't see me that way.

Entry 42:

Ryujin, who rarely talks to me, approached me because of Jeongyeon. Seems like they're getting closer.

Everything she said hit me.

Tomorrow, I will tell Jeongyeon that I know about The Pharktom.

Entry 43:

I drank too much and became too emotional, but it felt good. It would be so hard to imagine not having her around so I promised that I will not let her get kicked out again.

Also, I can't believe that she hugged me back. But after that, I blacked out. I couldn't remember a thing. I'm not even sure if I was able to tell her about The Pharktom. Sheesh.

Anyway, I was too stunned for a second when I woke up. I really thought something happened between us. I didn't know how to react. But if something actually really happened, I was ready to take responsibility. Apparently, she was just pranking me. Pfft.

Entry 44:

I was smiling the whole time while I was reading Jeongyeon's article about my speech defect.

Also, she blocked me on IG... while I was typing a message. I was only asking her why she had to tell Sowon that we ate together and more. Was it wrong to ask??

Entry 45:

Dahyun asked if I like someone right now. Jeongyeon's image flashed in my mind. This can't be.

Entry 46:

I dreamt about her. She kissed my neck. Even after waking up, I could still feel that kiss.

Entry 47:

Jeongyeon teased me again. She wanted to bite my neck.

I wanted to bite her lip.

Entry 48:

I haven't seen Ryujin as excited as last night when I confirmed that Jeongyeon will be coming with us. All this time, I thought Jeongyeon ruined my relationship with my sister more. But I see it otherwise now.

Entry 49:

Okay, I take it back. Ryujin's a selfish brat. She can have Jeongyeon all she wants. Fine. Tss.

Entry 50:

The heck??? My best friend liked Jeongyeon??

Entry 51:

I found out that the asshole Bang Chan is harassing my girl. I wish I knew where he lives. I wanted to punch his face right after knowing this. I wonder how many victims he has. I'm pretty sure that they just couldn't talk because, it sucks as it is, most of the time, society blames the victims more.

Entry 52:

For the first time, Ryujin talked to me casually. I felt so happy! She's also the first person who knew what my true feelings for Jeongyeon are. I thought Rosé would be jealous. She's probably happy because of this too.

Entry 53:

It's now clear to me.

I like her. I'd do anything for her to notice me. I like her even though she is always so distant. Even if we only talked about our flaws. It is so funny how I like her even without knowing her that much. If I could just talk to her more, If I could just get closer. I am in a deep hole now, unable to get up. I am drowning. And that's okay.

END OF PART III
〰️

A/N: As promised, here's the 2nd part! Sorry, it's not that long.

Soooo. Guys, my first book had it's first anniversary last March 3, and this one was last May 9!! Wow! Time flies fast, doesn't it? This is already a year old book??

A little update about me. Remember when I told you that I resigned because of my episodes, and said that my next mission is for me to look for a job that wouldn't require me to talk for hours? I finally found that job! I know it's early to say this since I only started last May 2, but I feel happy and I think I can see myself in this company for a long time. And... it's a permanent work from home setup!

My next mission-- for me to move out and get to live alone again. Hihi.

Thank you guys so much for not giving up on this book! I'll update again, hopefully during the weekend. New season (? hahaha) coming up!
