FRIENDZONED {12}

JUNGKOOK'S POV•

I sat there wide eyed as Auburn marched into the cabin after her confession that she was about to break up with Mark.

This was the last thing I had expected to come of our conversation but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jumping with joy on the inside right now.

Auburn was about to be single for the first time in like three years. Auburn. Is. Going. To. Be. Single!

I couldn't wrap my head around that sentence. It almost didn't sound real. It sounded too good to be true.

Part of me felt bad that she'd be heart broken over her first love, but another selfish part of me was happy that she would be single and maybe just maybe, open to being with me. Of course not anytime soon or anything but a guy can dream.

After about twenty minutes, there was still no sign of Auburn. I didn't know whether to take that as a good sign or a bad one.

I step out of the hot tub and wrap a towel around my waist before I made my way inside.

Right away, I headed towards Auburn's room but I didn't make any attempts to knock.

At first there was nothing but silence until I heard a single sob and my heart broke for her.

I knew she had done what she had set out to do but that didn't mean she had wanted to.

Although she's heartbroken now, that pain wouldn't last forever. She deserves better and Mark definitely wasn't that.

I head to my room where I end up getting into some comfy clothes before I crash into bed and pull out my phone.

When I go to Instagram, I instinctively search up Auburn's page. When I click on it, I see all of the pictures she once had with Mark are gone and they no longer follow each other. That was fast.

I felt bad for her because I knew what heart break felt like and it wasn't fun but at the same time, I knew she'd be happy she did this in the long run.

Knowing I wanted to cheer her up, I went to our messages on Instagram and sent her a gif of a cat with a party hat on and then another gif of the words, "You did it!" In squiggly letters.

Less then a minute later, I get a single smiley face back with the words, "Thank you, I couldn't have done it without you."

I stared at the text for a moment before I double tapped it, a heart forming on it.

I then decided to type of a long message. Something I knew she needed to hear right now.

I know it hurts now but trust me, it gets easier. I've been through this before so I know how you're feeling and I just want you to know it gets better. It'll take some time but the pain is only temporary. You're much better off without him dragging you down and making you feel shitty. You're amazing, Auburn. Yeah it sucks he couldn't see that but that's his loss. One day you'll find someone who cares and treats you right. Someone who loves you the way you love them and wants nothing but the best for you. Don't let one shitty ex ruin your views on love. I promise there's someone out there for you. Until then, just know the pain and heartbreak is only temporary and it won't last forever. You got this, I believe in you!

As soon as I sent it, Auburn read it. It was like she had been waiting for my response and that made me happy.

After a minute, she double taps the text, creating a little heart on it just as I had done. Then she starts typing. Then she hits send. Then my heart swoons as I read the message from this girl I was hopelessly crushing on.

Thank you, Jungkook, truly. I appreciate you being there for me and opening my eyes to what I was trying so hard to avoid. You're right, he's shit and I deserve better. I was too good to him always and he doesn't deserve someone as good as me. I hope you're right that one day I'll find someone who loves me the way I love them. I hope you find that too. We deserve that at least! Fuck our ex's, they suck! 😡 We're awesome.

I smiled, my chest feeling all warm and fuzzy. I felt like I was so happy that nothing could ruin this moment right now.

I rolled over, smiling, as I typed out a response.

Of course! I'm here if you ever need to talk. I get it can be a lot sometimes but once you heal from it you won't even remember why it hurt so much. Hell, you'll laugh wondering why you acted how you did. I've been there. You're right, our ex's do suck. Mostly yours though, he was a prick. Now you're free from that so there's a bright side. Smile because it's over. You'll never have to deal with that asshole again. You've got me!

I smiled as I hit send, watching as she read it just as fast. My heart was beating quickly as adrenaline pumped through my veins. Nothing could ruin in this moment!

When a response chimed in, I was quick to look at it, eager to see what other great things she was going to say.

You got me too, Jungkook. I can already tell now that we're going to be really great friends😁

Friends?

Friends?!
