When at the end of the day I go to my locker to put my books, I notice that Jungkook is standing by his locker. I stop dead in my tracks when I notice the way he's firmly holding Tzuyu in his arms, his embrace gentle yet a loving gesture. Her head is resting at his chest and his face is nuzzled in her neck.

I command my brain to look away, but my eyes are fixed at the couple in front of me as an envious feeling takes over my heart. I am not supposed to be this person, I am not supposed to be jealous of the girl my childhood best friend is dating yet I cannot help but feel that I should be the one whom he holds that way.

This is worse than watching them kiss, because when they are like this, I get to see how comfortable they are in each other's presence, how they hold onto each other for warmth and love. When I see him leaning onto her like that, I observe how he lets go of his thoughts and tries to find comfort within her. And that is so much worse than seeing them suck each other's faces off.

As if he can feel my gaze on him, he looks up at me, his eyes meeting mine and he passes me a small smile, and I try to return it but something tells me that it rather came out as a grimace than a smile.

"Well, looks like he isn't the only one who's jealous." I feel a breath tickling the nape of my neck and immediately turn around to find Jennie leaning behind me. Se winks at me and walks away, and I close my eyes momentarily, composing myself.

I take a step forward towards my locker but Jisoo catches my arm before I can reach Jungkook and Tzuyu. She turns me around and her eyes search around my face, as if trying to place something.

"I am going to ask this once, and I hope you give me an honest answer." She says and I nod, motioning for her to continue,

"Is there something I should know about Jennie and you?"

I smile, shaking my head, "I promise there is nothing. But there is something you should know. Please don't mention to anyone that she spent the night at my house last weekend after the party." I say and she gives me a hesitant nod which makes me frown.

"Sure, I won't." She promises. "And there's absolutely nothing between the two of you?" She confirms.

"Absolutely nothing. We really dislike each other, that's the only thing we have going on between us." I assure her and she nods.

I feel a hand on my shoulder and I turn around to find Jungkook and Tzuyu. She gives me a full on grin which I return with a smile.

"How was your day, Lily?" She asks and I freeze, my eyes moving to Jungkook. I wait for him to say something to his girlfriend regarding the name she just used, because last time I let it slip but this time, I am giving him the right to object.
When he feels my gaze on him, he realises what I am indicating at and just shrugs. So, I decide if he isn't going to say anything, I will.

"It was good Tzuyu, how was yours?" I ask politely.

"Same. I got this fun essay to write for English on Shakespeare." She says and I hear Jisoo snicker behind me.

Tzuyu is kinda like that, she loves to find fun in stuff where there isn't any fun but it's a quality of hers that I really admire. We need more people to look at the world from her perspective.

"That's good to hear." I say and a silence falls over but I break it when I confront Tzuyu's,

"Um, Tzuyu, can I say something? It might come out as rude so I apologise in advance because I don't want to make you feel bad or anything." I say, trying to soften the blow.

"Yes, sure. Go on, what is it?" She frowns, but I can tell I have got her full attention.

"Can you please call me Lalisa, or if that seems too long, maybe Lisa? lily is actually a very sentimental name for me so I am not comfortable with everyone calling me that." I clear out and Jungkook's eyes meet mine. He almost looks pissed that I brought it up but he should have been the one to tell this to his girlfriend.
