We have been sitting in my living room for the past five minutes, both of us trying to avoid eye contact. A loud audible breath breaks through my lips, making her snap her gaze towards me.

"How do you feel?" She asks, probably talking about my hangover.

"Fine." I give her an abrupt response.

Her jaw twitches at that and I resist the urge to roll my eyes at her, because she has no reason to be pissed at me. Alright, well, waking up half naked in another guy's bed might be enough reason to make her mad, but even she must know that nothing went down between Jungkook and I.

"Do you want me to get you something, medicine or juice?" She asks, only stretching the awkwardness between us.

I shake my head, "Jane, I'm fine." I tell her, this time more persistently and she nods.

Her tongue swirls down on her lower lip, the stud immediately distracting me as she keeps her gaze on the coffee table. When she does look up, my eyes are on her mouth so I look away, blood rushing to my cheeks. I hate that I blush so easily.

"You didn't pick up my call or reply to my texts." She begins and I gulp, nodding.

"I needed time."

That makes her frown, "For what?"

Suddenly I wish that we weren't sitting on the same couch, because I'm sure she can close the distance whenever she wants, and that makes a little anxious because I don't want any distractions while we talk. But we have a lot of space between us. I'm sitting with my legs folded underneath me on one end of the couch, facing her while she's just facing the television.

"To think about everything."

"Well, are you done thinking?"

I take a deep breath, keeping my tone in check as I rub my temples, "I don't know what to think. I'm confused." I tell her honestly.

She turns a little so that she's looking at me, "What are you confused about?"

"This whole thing we have going on, about everything."

"You're doubting the fact that we are in a relationship?" She asks, sounding hurt, which makes it even harder as I continue to look at her face that is drawn up in a deep scowl.

"What the hell am I supposed to do? I haven't hidden anything from you, Jane. I told you on our first date where my past relationships stand. You already knew about my feelings before you even kissed me, so please enlighten me that how the hell are we having so many problems?" I snap, not being able to control it anymore.

She fists her hand as she stares at me, "We were fine, everything was fine. I have no idea why are you letting Irene come between us? She fed you bullshit, and you let her."

"Alright, fair enough. Let me keep aside whatever the hell your crazy ex-girlfriend told me. Now, tell me, why did you not tell me about Sama?" I ask, looking right into her eyes.

"Because it's in the past, Lisa. It doesn't matter." Her voice is extremely calm and soft, catching me off guard, but it just really pisses me off more.

"It matters, and you know it. Please stop pretending like it doesn't, because that is definitely not helping your case. You never even once mentioned her, considering how close the two of you are. She lives in New York, but you would be shitting me if you tell me you don't stay in contact with her." I voice out the thoughts that have been literally driving me crazy, "How often do you talk to her?"

She closes her eyes, drawing a breath through her lips before she opens them again. Her gray orbs are swirling with emotions that I'm literally failing to detect right now.
