Mutual Interests || Kim Taehyung

11.

Jungkook and I walked out of the school and he stopped me as we were going out of the gate.

"Wait here" he said and ran towards cycle stand. 

Cycle stand? Oh wait is he bringing what I think he's bringing.

Yes. His bike. I thought as I saw him ride his bike and stop right beside me. He parked it and got down.

"I'll help you get up." he said and held my bag.

"No no I'll get on by myself."

He sat back and I got on. I held his shoulders. The moment he started his bike, I held onto him tightly.

I showed him the directions to my house and we soon reached.

"You should come in and have some tea or coffee. That's the least I can do for you after you've helped me so much." I turned back and said to him as I stumbled on the staircase.

"Be careful. You don't stay careful at all do you?" he said held up hand while I stood back up.

"Yeah haha. I'm very clumsy." I unlocked my door.

I made some coffee and got some cookies for him. I went upstairs in my room to freshen up. When I came out of my bathroom, Jungkook was standing in my room.

"Wait what--" I screamed and went back inside my bathroom. I just wore a bathrobe for gods sake!

"I'm so sorry !" he screamed and I heard the door slam shut. Okay so he left. I came out and wore my clothes and went downstairs to see him seated on the chair awkwardly.

"I'm really sorry I didn't mean to do anything really. I was just seeing your room because I finished eating and I got bored so don't think I was--"

"Yes I know it's okay. I should've told you I was in the bathroom." I cut him off.

There was an awkward silence and I needed to break the ice.

"Thanks for all the help. I feel better now."

"Did you take some medicines?"

"I did. I need to take another one a little later. I think I'll be totally alright by today."

Again there was an awkward silence and I didn't know what to speak. So this time he spoke.

"I'm sorry about earlier but when I went into your room, I saw many pictures of you and Hobi. You both are close?"

"Yeah we are. Childhood friends you see."

"Is he the one you like too?" he asked and looked at him with widened eyes and then looked down. 

"Yeah...was I that obvious?"

"Your sketch the other day, the boy sitting under the tree. It looked like him."

"I see...." I sighed out. "But he doesn't like me. He likes Yumi. He actually loves her. I don't like that but there's nothing I can do about it." I finished. I didn't care anymore and everything was making me dizzy. 

"I'm sorry I'm ranting so much...I don't really have anyone to rant it to you know. I've been with Hobi and never needed anyone else. I never thought this kind of day would come. Now I'm all alone." I sobbed and put my head down.

My feelings were all over the place.

I felt hands around me and before I could look up, Jungkook had pulled me into a hug. It felt so warm.

"Don't cry......I know your feel."

"You do?" I laid my head on his chest as he began stroking my head.

"Yeah. I also love this girl a lot but she loves someone else. For the first time in my life I want to make someone truly happy."

"Wow. Who is she?"

"Sorry I can't tell. I'm very..."

"Very?"

"......shy." he trailed. He was so cute when he said that.

"I see. Tell me when you can though. She is a lucky girl." I said and broke the hug to look up at his face.

"Yeah only if she knew." he said while looking down at me. His gaze was upon me and I felt nervous all of a sudden. 

What's wrong with me now?

 He turned away and looked at the clock. "I should be going now." he said getting up.

I went out until the gate. 

"Thanks so much for today."

"Sure. It was nothing. Take care and let me know if you need anything." he smiled and started his bike's engine. 

"Bye take care."

"You too." he waved at me.

I smiled back and turned around and got to my door when I heard the gate open. Was he back again? I thought and immediately turned to find someone else.

"Was he at your house?"

"Yeah he dropped me home." I said looking at Hobi.

We sat in the living room. Hobi had gotten me some soup and sour bites that I loved to eat whenever I had a cold or fever. Of course he knew that because he knew me best. He knew me but not my feelings.

"Did he do anything else?" he asked me as he drank coffee.

"No. What else can he do other than drop me home?"

"I don't know." he turned away. He was hiding something about Jungkook from me.

"Hobi please tell me what it is. Jungkook is a friend of mine and he seems like a good person but if there is something else I should know about him then..."

"Okay. He is a major playboy."

"What? But I hardly see him with a girl in school. He turns them all down and only talks when necessary. He only talks to me because we sit close in art class."

"He doesn't play around with girls of our age. He does it with older women."

"What?!"
