PHOENIX POV
Seoyoon. The name kept repeating in my head. Who could it have been? That night I thought for a long long time.
The next morning I was awoken by my phone buzzing under my cheek. Guess who?
Jungkook.
As soon as I answered he started talking, "Hey, those messages weren't meant for you. Delete them." His voice sounded a bit raspy and nasally. Hangover.
I just sighed, "I thought so."
There was a silence for a few moments. Though I was excited to be talking to him, my heart still clenched thinking about Seoyoon.
I liked him.
After all the thinking the night before, I came to that conclusion. He was someone I was willing to work for, even though I didn't understand him. All I knew was that I couldn't stand hearing him call some girl's name and that I wanted him all to myself. I was horrible.
He spoke again, a little quieter,
"But, um...thanks. I guess. V hyung told me what happened. You didn't have to, you know, call him."
His words took me by surprise. I never expected a thank you from him. I felt my heart racing again. "You would've been roadkill without me. You better be thankful."
I could hear him laugh a little, "Roadkill? Huh. That sounds nice." I noticed something was wrong right away. He sounded so...depressed.
What could've been bothering him?
"Ya! What is wrong with you? Why do you sound so depressing?" I got out of my bed and and went to sit at my desk. The cold chair made me jump up a little.
Jungkook sighed, "You can really read me, huh?"
"Of course! Anyone can read you, you sound so lame and sad!" His sadness was literally dripping through his words. Not even kidding.
"It would be nice to date someone like you."
Then I fainted.
Just kidding, I just sat with my mouth wide open for 17 seconds.
"Ya! Jeon Jungkook! You're so crazy and uncool! Who would want to date you?! I swear you drive me insane! I hope you stay depressed, gosh you're so annoying!" I yelled into my phone.
Why the heck would he say something like that? My goodness, he loved pushing my buttons.
I was about to fire back when he started laughing. Real laughing, like the type of laugh that you get when your friend tells you an incredibly stupid joke. His laugh made me grin unconsciously.
He was still laughing, "I swear, your reactions are the best! Have you ever thought of being a variety show host? Or an actress?"
I groaned, every time he ever said something that made me blush, it was always just to get a reaction out of me. What a jerk.
But atleast he was feeling better. I was glad to hear his voice clear up a little bit.
"You're too much Jungkook. And you shouldn't be saying anything either! You should've heard yourself last night! Calling out to Seoyoon Noon-" I stopped. I knew I messed up.
He was silent.
"J-Jungkook?" I said, almost whispering now. "Are you...okay?" I shouldn't have said anything. He was feeling better and I just had to come along and ruin it.
I heard him sigh again. A deep long sigh. "Did I say anything about her last night? Wait, of course I did. That's probably how you even heard her name."
