The Bet | Jungkook

A Pᴀssɪᴏɴ

Taehyung's P.O.V
I haven't spoken too or seen Lily since the graduation party. It's like she vanished from the earth like she never even existed. I started to think I was going crazy at first, imagining someone that would keep me sane. But she was real. I look at the picture I took of her and I place it back into my photo book.   I was leaving in three days to visit Australia for my photography. I haven't decided what to do just quite yet with my life, but I knew I would start traveling as soon as I earned my degree.

"Moping about that girl still?" Jungkook asks, sitting next to me on the couch.

"Shut up." I mutter, and Jungkook nudges me.

"I bet she's where she's always been you are just missing her." He says, and I look at him. As my eyes widen and I came to a realization that I never checked the school campus photography room where we first met.

"Jungkook you could be so useful at times." I say, and he rolls his eyes.

"I see the way you looked at her, and I want you to find someone you deserve Taehyung." He says, and I smile.

I opened the door to the campus photography room, and there she was hanging up pictures on the wall, I walked in quietly trying not to startle her, closing door softly. I watched her work from the other side of the class room for a while. She smiled as she finished hanging up her work and that's when she turned around and looked me into my eyes. "I thought you gave up on me you weirdo." She teases and I chuckle.

"Are you going to continue to stare at me or are you going to compliment my work the work I did without your help." She says, and I scoff as I walk over towards her.

"It's beautiful." I say, and she smiles.

"Thanks.." she says, as she then closes her photo book.

Her big beautiful brown eyes then meet mine, and we share a long stare in silence. It was so much to be said with such little time. And the tension between us started to grow tense.
"I'm leaving for Australia in three days." I tell her, trying to stir away from the growing tension.

"Is that why you ghosted me for two weeks?" Lily asks.

"I didn't ghost you Lily, I'm grown." I chuckle, and she rolls her eyes.

"So you're suggesting I ghosted you?" She asks, and I raise my eyebrow.

"Fine! I totally did. I tried my best to avoid you Taehyung." She blurts out.

"Why?" He asks.

"My soft ass decided to tell you I have growing feelings for you. Summer break starts next week and I just thought maybe what I feel would go away if I could avoid you till I went back home for the summer." She blurts out, and I chuckle.

"It's not funny, I'm not one of those stupid girls who's going to fetch when you tell them too Taehyung." She tells me, and I roll my eyes.
