and now here he was.
jeongguk had been told countless of timesㅡ90% of these times being from one certain male who had a ridiculous obsession with the color pinkㅡthat online relationships were destined to fail. it wouldn't work. the chances of the person on the other end being who they claimed to be were much too slim to trust.
"just break it off, jungkook," seokjin had once warned himㅡjeongguk had been adamant in his request for his friends to address him with an emphasized 'k'. "i'm serious. before things get out of hand."
conflicted and confused, jeongguk had approached yoongi, only for him to brush him off with a "it's your life, kid."
it was his life.
"it's my life, seokjin hyung. i know what i'm doing."
"no. no, you don't. will you just listen to me for once in your stupid life?"
"my stupid life. my. life."
"hopeless."
it wasn't that seokjin's words had no effect on himㅡjeongguk was scared. scared because he liked jimin too much to use the word 'like' anymore. scared because if jimin wasn't jimin, who did he like?
he used every opportunity possible to get a selfie out of her. at a café? "send a selfie." reading a book? "send a selfie." and she always managed to, perfectly corresponding with whatever she said she was doing.
"okay, so maybe she looks like how she says she looks. but is that all that matters?"
"piss off, hyung."
jimin was jiminㅡhe was sure of it. if jeongguk was being sincere to their relationship, why wouldn't she?
even when the doubt started setting in again, a five minute conversation with her extinguished it, just like that.
it's okay, jeon, jeongguk told himself. you're okay. she's okay. it's okay.
and slowly but surely, jeongguk fell in love.
...
ding!
ding!
ding!
jeongguk stared straight ahead, seemingly unheeding to the notifications.
ding!
ding!
ding!
his gaze flickered to the source of the noise before switching on the phone, but not to attend to the messagesㅡto check the time.
21:32.
"not late enough," he muttered, switching it back off.
ding!
ding!
he sighed.
ding!
"okay, jesus christ." his mouth twitched into a small smile as he opened the phone again, eyes lighting up simultaneously with the screen. so much for his attempt at being fashionably late through text.
