Falling Slowly ↭ jikook [COMPLETE]

11. Getting Hurt

I walk to school with a smile on my face and joy in my heart. I feel so excited to see Jimin today, after such a long weekend. I miss him so much. I feel like there was a hole in my heart that I didn't even notice before, then Jimin came and filled it. And now, I feel so complete.

I reach the gate of our school. I'm so sure that I saw Jimin's back. I try to run to him but then I get a glimpse of a girl talking to him. I am about to walk up to him but they enter the school. The girl is holding his hand and she looks so happy and, it hurts me to say this but her eyes are so bright, she looks like she is... in love, and worse, with him.

Should I confront Jimin about him and that girl or let them be? Maybe she is just being friendly. This is the first time I see her in my entire life, it looks so suspicious. Or maybe they are keeping their relationship a secret and just decided to come out this day? What about the memories we made? He even kissed me not just once, not twice, but multiple times that I couldn't count it anymore. There are so many questions going on inside my head.

I peak inside Jimin's class. He is staring outside the window in deep thought, not giving his teacher a glance. I can only see the side of his face. His facial features are so beautiful, it hurts me so much. Everything Jimin does seem to be in slow motion. He stops, feeling my gaze burning onto him. He turns his gaze to my direction and I immediately hide behind the door.

I run to my class, my eyes are tearing up. I stop by the door, worrying about what my classmates will think. My face are all tear stained and my eyes are bloodshot red. Instead of getting inside, I run to the football field. Nobody is there by this hour.

What happened? I thought we were something. We kissed. We even made love.

"Hey kid!" A girl shouts. I search for where the voice came from. She stands up from her seat and throws her cigarette on the floor. She spits on it and steps on it. Poor cig.

"What are you doing here?" She brings out a gum from her pocket and offers me one. I refuse to take her offer.

"It doesn't matter. I just want to be alone." I wave her off. I walk to the other direction and sit on the bleachers.

"Okay, fine. You won't mind if I smoke here, right?" She asks.

"It's fine!" I shout to make sure she heard me.

"Shh!" She hushes me and puts a cigarette between her lips.

"No one should know that we're here or else we'll get a detention, you don't want that and I don't want that." She shakes her head and lights the cig between her lips. I watch her blow a smoke. She notices that I'm staring at her.

"Do you want to take a hit?" She offers her cig. I refuse her offer again.

"No. It's bad for me, and I don't want to die young." I let out a deep sigh and lean my back on the chair.

"Okay, fine. Do what you think that makes you happy. I don't give a sh*t." She sits two chairs away from me and closes her eyes, leaning her head back to take a nap. But I'm not happy. Why am I here, anyway? I should be in class, not vexing because of one person. Earlier I was happy, then I feel like someone just died. Maybe it's just my heart that is shattered into pieces.

"Dude, are you crying?" She lets out a chuckle.

"It's just... I love this guy and this morning I saw him with a girl. They both looked so happy and... in love." I sob.

"Don't be a pussy. You love him, then fight for him. Go get him, man." She points her thumb at the exit. Yeah, she's right. I nod and stand up from my seat. I give her one last look. She smiles and I thank her. I run to the exit. I search for Jimin in the hallway. Students are scattered all over the hallway, making it harder to look for Jimin. I reach the school campus, he is there, but he is with that girl again. I take a deep breath. I can do this.

"Jimin!"
