Stay l Taekook

"Tae, do not suffocate him with this" Namjoon threw a small stress ball in the air, catching in back in his hand.

"But I need to get to the bottom of this!" I was sitting next to his lying body and had to really focus not to grab that stupid ball and throw it out of the window.

"Either he doesn't like you back or he's not going to admit he does. Either way you're screwed" Yoongi grabbed onto my desk and spun the chair around multiple times.

"Why do your opinion are always two options that suggest I do nothing?"

"Because, you shouldn't do anything. This is pointless, if things were meant to be they would be easier. Take a look at me, I asked Jimin out and he said yes, end of the story" He stopped spinning and opened his arms, feigning a big reveal.

"Yeah but you knew he liked you. That was obvious" I pointed out.

"Then you should have waited until you were sure Jungkook like you before confessing your feelings" Namjoon chuckled and this time I grabbed the ball and threw it across the room.

"Hey, not fair!" He got up and went to get the ball back.

"Guys, what do I do???" Throwing myself back on my bed, I look at the ceiling.

"Wait, Tae. Just wait. You can't force him" I lifted my head up and was about to object. "Fine, you shouldn't force him" Yoongi corrected himself.

"I can't believe you told Jungkook you liked him" Namjoon snickered. I rolled my eyes and groaned, why did I do that???

My friends stayed with me until ten pm when my mom kicked them out because we had school tomorrow. I went on my phone and stalked Jungkook's Instagram for some time. Even though my friends thought it was dumb, I was kind of glad I had told Jungkook about my feelings for him. Now he knew and was free to do something about it.

After spending the whole day talking to a wall whenever Jungkook would ignore me, I decided I would probably not be able to ask him why he had gotten so upset. I thought music club would have been my chance to talk to him but today was the first rehearsal day. I silently cursed my teacher for having this dumb play but still went to the rehearsals.

The first hour was spent talking and explaining the deep nature of the characters and then we eventually started the rehearsal. When Mr. Yoo finally yelled cut, I raced off the stairs and grabbed my belongings before running the music club. I saw a couple of students were there but no Jungkook.

"Where's Jungkook?" I turn Jimin around and ask him without even greeting him first.

"He left already" The blonde eyed me up and down before leaving.

Damn it! I'd have to try again tomorrow then.

Wednesday came and Jungkook kept on ignoring me. Usually, I would have forced myself on him a bit more but I did feel a bit weary about using that technique this time. Something told me that if I pushed too much, the ravenette would break and send me to the hospital.

Just like every day the bell rang, and I headed to lunch with my friends.

"So, have you talked to him yet?" Yoongi opened his water bottle and took a long sip.

"Nope. He's avoiding me like the plague and the only time I caught him alone, I got nervous and left"

"Wait, you left? After having chased him into what was probably a janitor's closet?" Namjoon shook his head in disbelief.
