Helpless (Gfriend Eunha Fanfiction)

Twenty Two

EUNHA POVS

"Mingyu is absent again?" Jungkook asks. I nod gloomly. He doesn't even tell me why is he not working. Its the second time already and the past three days, he's acting distant.

"Why?" He asks.
"He doesn't tell me." I answer while running on the treadmill, doing my best to catch up with the speed.
"You don't ask him?" He's panting from doing push ups.
"Mingyu doesn't talk much about his family. If he doesn't tell me the reason, its gotta be related to it." I explain.
"I thought both of you are close."
"We are. But humans have secrets as well."
"Do you have it?"
"Of course." I answer.

"Care to tell?" He asks.
"No."
"Secrets are meant to be told."
"Not this one."
"I want to know."
"Drop it, Kookie."
"I was going to tell you mine." He shrugged and stop the treadmill.
"Not interested." I lied. I'm interested okay? But there's no way I'm going to tell him the secret.

"That's rude." I comment on him stopping the treadmill without my permission.
"Its called being considerate. You could faint from working out too much." He says as he adjust the treadmill into his liking.
"I believe you're much worse than me." I say.
"My stamina is stronger than the hyung. This is nothing for me." Jungkook grins.
"So conceited."
"I'm stating a fact."
"You're right. Well, I'll get going." I smile.

He grabs my wrist while keep running. It stops my movement and I could feel my heart is racing.

"What?" I try to play it cool.
"What if something happens to me?"
"It won't. You have a third degree black belt."
"How do you know? I state the fact I only have one degree black belt." He looks surprised.
"Jimin told me. Not to mention you know Wing Chun and Muay Thai." I say.
"You're right."
"Let me go."
"I can't." He stops the treadmill. My heart seriously needs to slow down.

"Jungkook, I'm serious." I yank my hand but his grip becomes tighter. Oh God. This is embarassing.
"Let go." I say as fierce as I could which is impossible because my voice is kind of girly and childish, not throaty or husky like some girls have.

"No." He stares at my eyes. It feels like his gaze is piercing me. He always stares deeply at everyone but this time, its even deeper.

He gets off from the treadmill but still grip my wrist. I kick his legs and it buckle but he doesn't drop down or let go of his grip.

"It won't work. Just stay." He says.
"I have things to do." I say.
"What things?"
"Checking the CCTV. I'm a bodyguard. Its my job."
"Your job is to makesure I'm safe, not your CCTV. Besides the CCTV guy will contact you if there are something going on." He makes sense but I'll make up any sense for him to let me go.

"Yes, but there are more that I need to do." I kick his left leg instead of the right, he dodge right away and kick both of my legs. I lose my balance and fell to the floor.

I yelp from the pain, even though it doesn't hurt that much. Its just embarassing to fell in front of him especially when I have a third degree black belt. I didn't see that coming though, but he's amazingly fast. He kick me right after he dodged.

"Your heart is beating." I widened my eyes to see his face is in front of me. I crawl backwards while feeling my face is flushing.

"Well, you mmust be tired from all those exercising." He went back to his treadmill.

I walk out of the gym feeling embarassed. Its so horrible. My heart must be beating so fast that he's able to hear it. He must think that I like him.

Wait. I like him? Do I? Honestly, I do know I like him. I just want to refuse the fact that I do. If its an infatuation, I would feel the same way to the rest of the members. They're perfect in everyone eyes.

JUNGKOOK POVS

I adjust the treadmill at the lowest speed so I'm just walking on it. But it didn't decrease my heart beat whatsoever. Why did I do that?! I want to slap myself for being a jerk towards her. I feel like I'm a bad guy attacking her and making her feel embarassed when its technically my fault.

I've never done that to any girls in my life but it comes naturally to me when that happens. I've flirt with fan girl before and its fun to see they turned shy but I've never went too far.

Its frustrating. I need to concentrate for our comeback instead of focusing on these weird emotions when I'm with her. Weird things I did when I'm with her. Its like turning into someone I don't even know.

MINGYU POVS

Eunseo and I are in a hotel room together which suppose to be romantic or fun. But the atmosphere is tense. She tries to make a conversation but I'm just not interested. I feel bad but I don't want to give hopes to her when I'm not even interested in making her my girlfriend.

Mom is terrible. I don't want to sound like a naughty kid but what kind of mother book a hotel room of a boy and girl? Eunseo's mother agrees to it as well which make both of them the worst mother in the world.
Its 9 a.m. and if it was night time, I could pretend I'm tired but its not. I catch up with my works to fill up the past thirty minutes but I'm done. I don't know what else to do.

"Am I troublesome?" She asks, looking into the window so I can't see her expression.
"No." I answer honestly. So far, she doesn't annoy me at all but we'll see later.
"No need to lie. If it is, I won't bother you." She finally faces me. The sunlight makes her black hair look brownish and she looks even more radiant.

"I'm telling the truth." I say. Why I can't just say 'actually yes, you're bothering me'. But she doesn't bother me. If she's a friend, I would play with her but the fact our situation is 'matchmaking', it makes me uncomfortable to be kind towards her. I don't want any drama because girls are easy to misunderstood something.

"The situation makes you uncomfortable isn't it? Don't worry. I'll leave if that's what you want." She grabs her purse and open the door.

"Let's go together."
