The Perfect Chemistry || Jungkook FF [Complete ✔]

Chapter 24 | "The whole truth."

Y/N's POV

12: 13 PM | SPORT MASTER

She had been avoiding me.

When our gaze clashed, her eyeballs will shot away in less than a nanosecond as if I was a Medusa. Even when we conversed in our group, my questions were left hanging. Just a simple "What did you play?" or "Do you enjoy the sport?". Was it too trivial?

I was not a fool. and my senses were telling me how indifferent you acted towards me compared to others. With Jeongguk, she was her cheery self. With me, she became an empty person. The air between us had become so thick that it was almost suffocating. I was not interested to entertain your childish act that day. So I knew I had no other choice this day other than to confront her.

Because for days, I had been thinking about the strange things that had happened to me lately, and I knew she had the answers. I could tell she was hiding something from me, but I had no idea what it could be.

Eugene-ah, what secrets were you keeping from me?

6:54 PM | KOREAN BATHOUSE

"Yahhh~. This is rewarding!" Hoseok stretched his arms, inhaling the aroma of the bathhouse.

We didn't plan to go there, but Hoseok kept complaining that he had back pain and his muscles were sore. After pleading non-stop, we agreed, couldn't decline his continuous aegyo attack.

The humid air of the sauna was thick with the scent of eucalyptus and pine as the last of the guests filtered through the entrance. The walls of the room were lined with ceramic tiles that glistened in the soft light of the overhead lamps, and the air was filled with the sounds of people chatting and laughing.

Hoseok then pulled out his phone and took a couple of selfies. Then he turned back to us. "Alright kids, come around. Photo time." He held the phone higher, making sure we all appeared in the frame. As he finished the countdown, we did free poses together.

Taehyung smiled brightly like a kid in an amusement park. His boxy smile came out shining. Hoseok did his best version of duck face. Eunbi and Eugene just pose as any normal person would do. Smile and a peace sign. Naomi straddled my neck before Jeongguk could pull me to him. But I guess she still had stamina after our vigorous activities early on. She jumped and almost pushed me forward.

"Yah, Naomi!" Hoseok yelled. "The pic is blurred! Crap... Kids! Stay still!"

One more snap and we got a picture of a group of friends that could tell a dozen different stories.

After changing into the Korean sauna attire, I carefully scanned the room for locker number 101. I shoved all my clothes into the small compartment, and the scent of sweat and body odour filled the air. I almost cringed in disgust as I thought of having to put this attire back on later.

Suddenly, I heard a loud creaking sound. When I glanced to the far right, I saw Eugene struggling to open her locker. Without hesitation, I walked over and offered my assistance.

"Let me help you."

She buffered for a moment, still giving an unfriendly attitude. Not for long, she sidestepped to give me a room with a trace of hesitance. I just banged on the locker and miraculously the locker opened for us. Eugene thanked me with her whisper tone – or was that just a wind passed by me?

She shoved her belongings inside in a rush, shut the door and hurriedly walked away from me. I sighed for the umpteenth time at her cold shoulder treatment towards me.
