Ambiguous(K.T.Hx Iu, Finnished)

Chapter 12

We had class as normal, but the evening was different—instead of doing mountains and mountains of homework, we got to party. Honestly, I'm not a party-person, but who doesn't want to take a break from homework? In fact me and Jimin's performance is on tonight.

I glanced at my watch for the time and it was almost morning tea. The problem between me and Jungkook was solved -sort of?- this isn't the main problem that's in my mind, I can take care of it after the party and graduation.

After saying goodbye to Jungkook I headed towards the music room. I pushed the door open and found Jimin sitting on the piano stool reading a book. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at your sports practice?" I asked in a confused tone. "Should I not be here? Do I not have the right to practice with my partner?" Jimin replied as he looked at me with his puppy eyes. "I didn't say you weren't supposed to be here, I just feel surprised because you rarely come and practice. A sudden flow of guilt rushed through my heart as I mumbled.I hurried towards Jimin and glances at the book Jimin is reading. "Didn't know you were the type that's interested in books." I chirped as I try to break the awkward silence. "I have to admit, I wasn't the type that's crazily into books. But if I find a book that catches my attention, I would sink right into it. Jimin laughed while he packs away his book. "What book are you reading?"I questioned. "It's written by an international author, the book is called 'journey under the midnight sun'. You wouldn't know it anyways."

Surprisingly I actually know the book name and I had actually finished the book myself.

"What! That book is amazing! After finishing that book I decided to read more of that author's books."I burst out with excitement. "Really? That's awesome! We could discuss the books together sometime." "Why not." I smiled as I sat down beside Jimin.

We started to practice our song and how the performance is going to be. I have to admit, the song we choose does sort of symbolize our relationship, but we both agreed to use this song because the song's tune matches my interest and how the song is written also sounded elegant. This might be the best option we can choose right now. The practice was quite good, me and Jimin's cooperation got increased. I told Jimin I was going to be here at lunchtime and after school as I waved goodbye.

Jungkook wasn't in the classroom when I got back, that wasn't a surprise though I know he is properly practising his performance; just like me. I wonder if Jungkook had found a partner yet, does he even need one? 

*Wait! Why do I care? Why? Why is Jungkook always spinning around my mind? Is it because that he is my best friend!!! It must be!!! STOP THINKING ABOUT HIM!* I thought as I gently pat my head several times.

Jungkook roamed into the classroom, he glances towards me and waved. I replied him a wave and saw the sweat that's sitting on Jungkook's forehead. I handed him a tissue and asked:"How was your practice?" 

Jungkook took the tissue and said:"Thank you, the practice was nice, I don't take it too seriously though." 

After a few seconds, I added:"Have you found a dancing partner yet?" 

Jungkook scratches his head awkwardly and answered:"Yeah... This was my first time dancing with a girl, I am actually really nervous......"

As Jungkook goes on, my head became completely blank and wonders off. Yes! I am jealous of it; I can't lie to my heart. My jealousy towards that girl felt weird; this type of jealousy was completely different from Rose. Rose made me angrier than jealousy, but this strange girl made me completely jealous; I don't hate her since it was me who rejected Jungkook's invitation and caused this ending.

My mind got pulled back by a sudden push, my eyes flashed and I made an eye contact with Jungkook. He looked a bit mad and grumbled:"Were you even listening?" 

"I was listening, it's just that your words reminded me of something."I apologized. The bell ranged and the teacher came in with our test papers, forcing me and Jungkook to end this conversation.

The blocks in the morning were all stolen by the end of year tests; that's not a bad thing though, at least I don't have to worry about the tests when I'm performing tonight. I practised with Jimin tonight and he told me to go home after school, relax and dress up perfectly for the performance tonight. And a math test ended my day.

"Bye Jungkook." I yelled. 

"Bye."Jungkook yells back. Jungkook left the classroom in a blink, I guess he does care about his performance after all.

 Packing my bag, heading outside and then I found Jimin standing outside of the classroom. Jimin gapes towards my direction and as soon as he sees me he chirps:"Hey, I've been waiting here for a long time. Why are you so slow?"

"Why are you here waiting anyways? Didn't you say you were going home?" I wondered. 

"Firstly, I said that we should both go home and relax. Secondly, I came here to check if the hard-working Jieun has secretly gone to the music room and practice for the whole afternoon. I'm worried cause if you don't relax, you might be stressed. And since you are my partner, I want you to dress as best as can."Jimin answered,"I'll walk you home." 

 "I can walk back home myself, it's not like I can't take care of my self."I smiled as I shake my head. 

"Come on, let's go!"Jimin begged while he pulls my sleeves.

As we walked home I asked Jimin:"What are you going to wear to tonight?" Jimin looks confused and says:"Why do you ask?" I smiled and replied:"Didn't you say I should dress up nicely, but if I don't know what style or colour you are wearing, I might wear something that's completely different from yours. No matter how nice I dress and how nice you dress, our two completely different styles clashing together will totally be a mess." "Hey, nice brain! I mean Ummm... nice thinking."Jimin thought for a second and agreed. I let out a small chuckle and added:"Thanks, but you still didn't answer my question." "I'll just wear a traditional black suit and I'll let your outfit be the bonus of our group."Jimin Laughed. "Sure, but don't put too much hope in me though,"I said. "I believe your taste in fashion. By the way, are we gonna include any eye contact during the performance?" "Well, since our song is a duet about love, I think we might need some sort of eye contact during it." I opined. 

"No problems with me."Jimin smiled.

I and Jimin walked as we talked about the book 'Journey under the midnight sun', we were both super hyped to discuss what happened in the story. Just a few minutes later we arrived at the front of my house. "Hey, your house isn't that far away from school!" said Jimin,"Maybe we can walk to school tonight, it's not safe for a girl to walk alone in the evening" I thought for a second and answered: "Why not." "I'll text you when I arrive," says Jimin. "Are you sure you know the way home?" I quizzed. "Come on I'm not a kid anymore, besides it's not the first time I walked you home."

True, when me and Jimin were in a relationship, he did walk me home quite often but that's like a long time ago. 

"See you later."I waved while I make my way towards my house's entrance.

"Bye, excited to see your outfit!" yelled Jimin.As soon as I opened the door, I saw my mother with excitement plastered onto her face. "Jieun, is that boy your boyfriend?"Asked my Mum. "No Mum it's not what you think, he is only my friend."I explained,"I have to go to school tonight, I need to prepare for it." My mother looks like she still has lots of questions to ask me, but she winked and chirped:"OK~ my busy daughter."
