Time is a terrible thing, I must say. 

When you are sad, it barely seem to pass. But when you are perfectly happy, it gathers the strength in its feet to run away from you as fast as possible.

That's called Einstein's Theory of Relativity.....I know.

For the first time in my entire life, I hated a science theory. 

Unimaginable.....right?

But, I suppose that's life is....when you are in love.

When you are in love.

It seemed like yesterday when I had been knocked by the door of the Taekwondo club by Jungkook. 

From then, my mundane life seemed to take an unexpected but sweet turn, giving me friends, happiness and memories I would always treasure in this lifetime. 

Until now.

I kicked a stray piece of stone from the ground as I waited for Jungkook to come out. School was already over, it's just that Jungkook had been practicing Taekwondo.

Soon, I saw Junseon and Seungmin come out with their bags on their shoulders.

"Hey there Y/N! Waiting for your boyfie?" Seungmin chirped.

I gave a subtle smile towards them, and just nodded. I had long come to realise that it was of no use to deny them anymore. Firstly because they won't ever shut up, and lastly because it was partly true.

I loved him.

I realised it recently, that I am hopelessly and thoroughly in love with him. 

And there is no way out.

The bunny boy seems to have taken over my whole existence at this point, and that is very alarming to say the least. 

It's alarming how my heart flutters everytime he smiles or laughs. It's alarming how I feel like staring at him all day while he practices Taekwondo. It's alarming when we 'accidentally' come close to each other's face while tutoring him, I feel like touching those perfect lips with mine. It's alarming that everyday, these sensations seem to rise within me.

And the most alarming thing is that......he doesn't care.

He doesn't feel anything when I visibly stare...okay make that gawk at him while he practices. He doesn't care when our faces come inches away from each other, while I become flustered. He doesn't care about the fluttering he causes my heart when he secretly comes to visit me at night and we hide in the phone booth to either study or chat. (Most of the time it's the latter one)

He just shrugs casually, or laugh and ruffle my hair. Nothing more.

And till now, I haven't got the slightest bit of courage to tell him how I feel, lest that destroys whatever friendship we have.

Getting true friends is difficult in this harsh world, so I wanted to cherish him as much as I could, even if that meant getting my heart fluttered while saying that we are 'just friends'.

Coming back to the present, I waved Junseon and Seungmin goodbye as I again went back to waiting for him.

After about five minutes later, I heard a voice from behind.

"Y/N! Why are you here?"

I turned around and smiled at not only Jungkook who just asked the question, but also Chisoo, who was beside him.

Giving me a smile and a nod, Chisoo went away while Jungkook hopped to me.

"Have you been waiting long?"
