I took a sip of my cappuccino before going back to writing. Jungkook was reading the text out loud so I could type it on the computer, it was faster that way. We had been at the café for about an hour and had been typing all the material we had into a document on his computer.

My hands were starting to cramp, and I had to pause every few seconds but each time I'd do that, Jungkook would hit me on the head and yell at me to continue.

"We only have five more lines!" A heavy book wacked me over the head.

"You hit me one more time and I'll whack you over with this computer" I end up saying as I point at Jungkook in annoyance.

"Type" He started reading again and I had to start typing straight away.

Not a long time after that as I am halfway through the last sentence, the computer screen goes black. At first I thought I had pressed on the turn off button in error, but my fingers were nowhere near it.

"What's up?" Jungkook who had been in the bathroom, came back and sat down next to me.

"I don't know, the screen just went black" I pointed to the screen to illustrate what I was saying which looked kind of dumb. Jungkook looked left and right before groaning.

"The charger was plugged in" He showed me the charger and I shrugged, he had arrived here before me and this was his computer.

"Just plug it in and we'll keep on going. I only had a few words left when it shut down-"

"Wait, it shut down before you could finish?" Jungkook looked at me with big eyes but I didn't know why he seemed so distraught. "Did you save before??"

"I never saved" I answered but kind of regretted it when I saw the face he made.

"Why wouldn't you save???!?!" He screamed making people turn to look at us.

"Don't yell!" I urge him and hit him on the chest. "Don't you have auto-save on??" I ask.

"No! How could you not check beforehand?!"

"I'm sorry, I have auto-save turned on, on my computer" I felt bad but at the same time, how was I supposed to know? Jungkook groaned and fell lump in the booth. I watched as he slowly kept on falling down.

"How about we get something to eat and relax and then we'll start typing again?" I suggest. Jungkook turned to look at me with an angry face making me chuckle nervously.

"I'll call the waitress" I ended up saying.

Today was Monday and I sitting at my desk, hanging out on my phone. I was the first one there as usual, even though ever since the start of the year, a tall, angry ravenette would usually be fuming behind me while we waited for classes to start.

Today however, Jungkook wasn't here. Maybe he was still angry about what happened yesterday? We had stayed at the café until five o'clock to rewrite what had been lost when the computer shut down. I still didn't understand why Jungkook had been so mad? It was his fault really.

The door opened and Jungkook came in. He went straight at his desk the was behind me diagonally and sat down in silence.

"We could talk about something" I turn to look at him.

"I have nothing to say to you" He answered back.

"I thought we were friends" I place both of my hands on the back of my chair and make my puppy eyes.

"I still have nothing to say to you"

"Geez, I wonder what Jimin and Hoseok see in you" I scoff and turn back. I take out my phone to play on it until the teacher got here.

The classes started at seven o'clock and for once, I decided to take some notes and try to listen to the teacher's lecture. I do say try because it was hardship for me, concentrating on someone for an hour and half straight wasn't something I was used to do.

The entire day went by fast and the last bell was already ringing. Today was the first meeting for the play and so all of the main characters as well as writing crew had to meet inside the amphitheater. I picked up my bag and waved goodbye to Namjoon who was going to music club.

I watched as Jungkook reunited with his two friends and walked away in the same direction my friend had taken. I kind of wished Jungkook had been cast as a main character, it would have given us some alone time where none of our friends were there. Maybe we could have bonded a little more.

I drag my feet all the way to the theater room and sit down next to Jaehyun. Mr. Yoo arrived and the meeting started. We talked about the script for hours, everyone got to chime in about things they liked and disliked and eventually the meeting was over.

I looked at my watch and saw the time, six forty-five. I sighed, the club was probably already over... Still, I grab my bag and make my way to the D-4 classroom. I kind of expected the doors to be locked but I entered without trouble and found the room completely empty.

I stopped in the center of the room and looked around, everything was cleaned and tidied up but then, the sound of rumbling caught my attention. I walked over to the recording room and opened the door.

"Oh my god, you scared me so much!!!" I yell when I come face to face with another guy.

"You're the one who opened the door without making any noise, I should be scared" Jungkook was putting away the mic and turning off the equipment.

"What are you still doing here?" We exit the room and Jungkook locks the door behind us.

"Well in case you didn't notice, I'm locking up. Since you weren't here to do it, I said I'd help"

"Aww you're so cute" I ruffle his hair and, in a flash, I found myself glued to the wall with Jungkook's elbow pressing on my throat.

"Jungkook" I croaked.

"Oh, god. I'm so sorry!" He let me go as I massaged my neck.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I look at him while still trying to breathe normally.

"It's a reflex, I'm not used to people touching me" He looked like he felt bad which made it hard to be mad at him.

"I patted your head, just how traumatized are you???" I kind of said it as a joke but when I saw him sit down on one of the desks, I saw that I might have pushed things too far.

"I've just been in a lot of fights. I fought my dad a lot when I was younger, until he eventually left. And when I got expelled from my high school, I had a lot of boys come after me and all. So now, I'm kind of weary about people touching me" He laughed but it sounded more like a dry chuckle.

Seeing Jungkook being so vulnerable made him look even more attractive. I knew this was a big moment, he was opening up to me as I had dreamed he'd do for weeks. But the more I looked at his pretty lips, and cute nose, his toned chest and biceps, the more I couldn't help but like him more and more.

"I like you" I ended up blurting out.

"What?" He got up and looked at me straight in the eyes. "Do you pity me? Is that it?!" He threw the keys on the ground, making me jump.

"No!" I also got up and went to stand in front of him. "I like you, I've liked you for some time now!" He scoffed and walked over to his backpack.

"I don't need your pity, Taehyung. And I don't need you, okay? Stay the hell away from me!" He furiously grabbed his bag and hoodie before storming out of the room.

I let my head fall down and exhale.

"I kind of thought he would beat the shit out of me."

Who cares, Tae! I scolded myself. I had once again, ruined something great by having no filter and bad timing. How could I tell him I liked when we were barely friends???? And I still had to work on the project with him, urgh, this was going to be so awkward...

I grabbed the keys he had thrown on the floor and walk out of the room. I locked up and went to my car, should I go talk to him about it tomorrow?
