"Ugh I want a boyfriend" Mia whined as we went out for lunch break. "Don't you have anyone to introduce me to?"
"No" I answered back plainly,not in the mood to think about love.
"Come on why don't you introduce me better to your brother? He's freaking hot"
I snapped my head up to look at my best friend, attempting to look as disgusted as possible.
"Gurl,what are you talking about? You're younger than him and he'd never see you in a romantic way. Besides, he's my brother. It'd be weird if my best friend were to date him"
She then looked at me as if I was the dumbest person on earth, tilting her head slightly to the right and having her notorious resting bitch face on.
"Baby cheeks" she always called me that when she wanted to point out that she is superior and wiser than me. "We're soon to be 18 and your brother will be 23, not 32. That isn't a big gap".
It took me a few moments to digest what Mia had said and accept that she had a point. That, however,made me even more miserable knowing that he's my brother and I could do nothing to have him.
"By the way, how long has it been since you last bought a bra?" she asked suddenly changing the subject, while looking directly at my chest and munching on the green salad, that she had cut earlier that morning.
Her sudden question surprised me, bringing back in mind the incident that had happened the day before and making me blush.
"Why is everyone suddenly talking about my boobs?" I covered my chest with insecurity, realizing that I had been ignoring their growth for a while. Maybe too long actually.
"Well it looks like you're suffocating them in there" she continued staring at them with raised eyebrows.
Wearing a tank top that day was really a mistake. But that was the only clean attire I had, along with my dark blue yoga pants, because someone *points at self* forgot to do the laundry.
"Wait what do you mean 'everyone' talking about your big buddies there? Who else talked about them?" a sudden spark appeared in her electric blue eyes, that I always envied, and her velvet coloured lips slyly curved up.
"Uuuuuummm no one.....i don't know why I said everyone. It was an accident. A spur of the moment" I tried covering up my mistake with a wave of momentary panic boiling inside my stomach.
"Or was it?" Mia leaned in closer to me, making me feel like her stare would soon burn my sinful soul.
"What the hell Mia?" I frowned. "You're my best friend and you know everything. Now stop. You know how I sometimes speak without thinking"
'lies lies lies. Caught in a lie. You know that there's a big secret that she doesn't know'
'shut the fuck up Hailey. She can't know'
"Fine" she shrugged nonchalantly, allowing me to sigh in relief. "But we have to go shopping when we get paid" she said in a cheerful tone and I nodded in agreement.
The truth is that I never hid anything from Mia. Nothing but the fact that I had fallen in love with the wrong person. How could I tell her that though? We had been friends since childhood, knowing everything about eachother and even so, I felt like she would think that I was strange and drift away from me if she were to find out.
After finishing school and then finally getting done with our part time job at Starbucks, that we had recently gotten hired at, Mia insisted for me to take her with me to dance practice so that she could meet Jungkook. I guess I shouldn't have described him as godly as I did, adding A LOT of emphasis on his muscular body and his handsome features. Mia went crazy over the golden description I made of him and wanted to meet him asap. But what can I say, that man was truly golden. I'd fall in love with him if my pathetic heart wasn't trapped somewhere else.
"Mia, nice to finally meet you" she introduced herself seductively to the boy holding her hand out to him.
Jimin and I rolled our eyes at her predictable actions. I only told her about him that day. 'nice to finally meet you' I mocked her inside my head.
" Jungkook" he softly shook her hand and smirked, before turning all of his attention to me and forgetting that the new acquaintance even existed.
"How was your day Hailey?" he asked placing his hands on each of my shoulders and looked at me with his adorable bunny smile plastered on his face.
"Tiring" I stated and asked about his day, continuing the conversation. The other two just sat next to eachother, having their own chat and looking rejected. How pathetic, I wanted to laugh. Then I realized that I was even more pathetic, as my heart was beating in some sort of agony, wanting to talk to my brother, wanting to cuddle him and wanting to know if he was able to forget about yesterday, or if it even bothered him. What about his body? Was he feeling stiff after spending the night on the couch?
Dance practice went on, as Jimin taught us a new choreography and Mia watched us all in amazement. The way he moved showed that his body was aching and it made me feel guilty.
The night slowly drifted by and it was time to leave the studio and finally rest.
A knot formed in my throat when the other two parted ways and I was finally alone with Jimin, on our way home.
"You'll have to give me a massage as soon as we get home little brat"
He finally broke the deadly silence between us.
"Of course I will oppa" I said cutely making him smile
Many unimportant things were said on the ride home but the most essential thing to talk about was ignored. Maybe it was for the best and so, another torturing secret was buried inside me.
