Ellie

"I'm sorry that was a stupid question" Jackson chuckles as he shook his head and I gulp. "Well, you already know my answer though..." I mutter and he nodded. "I wish I could be Jungkook." He sighs, squeezing my hand and I focused on our hands.

What is Jackson to me?

He tugs on my arm and we both go out of the ice cream parlour. It was already dark, the sun has set and only a few people were outside. I can't believe we're out this late wearing our uniforms. "I really like admiring the sky." He states, me looking at him. Wow, he is beautiful.

"I think I should take you back to the dorms. Jungkook must be worried."

Jungkook! I almost for- oh shit, "speaking of him, im flooded." I stared at my phone screen, devastated and nervous at what Jungkook would do. Jackson chuckles, "you're dead." I shrugged, not wanting to deal with it. I grabbed his hand and ran back to the university.

"I'm in the dorm next to you." He says and I widen my eyes. So that's where he is? "I guess I'll see you tomorrow?" I ask, and he nods with a small smile. "Bye Ellie." he waved as I closed the door behind me.

I turned my heel, turning to look at the beds only to be surprised to find no one there. I sigh, he's out with section 19, I guess. He usually does go back to the dorm at around later than usual by that i meant past 1 am. Pressing the digits in my phone, I waited for him to answer.

And he did.

"Hello?"

"Where are you?" I ask, laying down on my bed as I played with a curl of my hair.

"Out with Yoongi and others."

"What time are you going home?"

"Babe, we're hunting for drunk ones. This will take a while, please forgive me." I sigh, I already know Jungkook. "forgiven." I smile although he won't see it and I can tell he smiled too, "I'll see you later. Entertain yourself with pizza and movies until I come back."

Becoming a giggling mess, I turned on the TV and smiled, "yes sure, I love you."

"I love you too."

"Two fucking weeks, Jungkook, two weeks." I slammed my locker door shut, emphasizing the words two weeks as his gaze became indeniably hopeless.

He chews on his bottom lip, tears forming up in his eyes as he turned his head left and right before grabbing my hand and kissing the back of it. "I'm sorry." He mutters, not turning an eye towards me as I wanted to pull every single strand of his hair off of his head. "All you can say is sorry now!" I shout, stomping away from him.

I know he didn't follow me.

Not like I was expecting him to - I do. My heart ached when he didn't, turning my head only to find no traces of him who stood there. I wanted to scream out my lungs.

Maybe Hoseok was right, maybe this relationship wasn't good at all? Maybe, I had to really forget about him. Should I?

Pushing the door open, not surprised to find it vacant as we both stepped in. "Yugyeom had to push me in, Jaebum was real pissed though couldn't blame him." Jackson finally ends his story as I sighed, throwing my bag on Jungkook's bed as I flickered the lights open inside the bathroom.

Jackson chuckles a bit, "guessing things aren't going well with him eh?" He mumbles, I looked at him. My eyes forming tears as I wanted to break down. It's been months since me and Jackson became best friends, Jungkook couldn't care less, all he did was to call me and tell me he would hunt down people and feed and go home at a time where I wouldn't find him.

Jackson knew, he was always there though despite all the lack of attention I get from my boyfriend, it happened that Hoseok knew about it too but I'm surprised he doesn't want to attack him or anything that would harm Jungkook. In any possible way, I just want things to go back to normal.

"Damn, I wish I knew how it felt like to have a girlfriend" Jackson chimes, raising his hand up to feel the atmosphere as I finally entered the bathroom. I pulled out my phone, texting Jungkook and groomed up. I stared at my text message for a while.

Until he finally replied.

Are you with someone?

Happens to be I am. Why?

Who is it?

Jackson

NOT IN THE DORM

What do you mean?

I don't trust him

What do you mean you don't? Jungkook, you should and you do.

You're not me to know my decisions.

If you're going to be this ignorant how about we break up?

Read 7:49 PM

"How pathetic." Jackson laughs, catching my attention only to find him beside me inside the bathroom. "Does that mean sure?" He asks, and I shrug. "I'm not him to know his decisions." He giggles and shakes his head. "I like your references."

I lay my head limp onto his chest before crying, thoughts about Jungkook flooding my head as I crumpled up his shirt. I miss him.

I'm sorry

Waking up to that text made it the worst to ever come to me. I spent the night waiting for him to come home - including me kicking Jackson out of the dorm because for sure it would start a fight if he comes home to seeing me with Jackson - but yet until now all I get is a text message apologizing.

Again.

The door swings open, my eyes immediately darting towards it even though they were almost too heavy to move.

Disappointment showered upon me to find Hoseok behold me. "What's up?" He smiles.

"Kuya! What are you doing here?" I fake a smile and he shrugs, putting down a plastic bag on Jungkook's bed - reminding me it was bare and saddening me to find the sheets untouched - "I had to drop by, why haven't you gotten out of bed? Hang out with Bern or something."

Right, Bern and I do hang out a lot now but today doesn't like one of those. "What's that?" I point to the bag, completely ignoring what he had told me and he just smiles at me. "You're not from Section 15, you can't know."

"Neither is Jungkook?"

"15."

"He's from 19."

"Say what you want, I'm not correcting you. Have a good day, sis."

With that, I was left wondering.
