Neighbors with Benefits // BTS

Butterfly

I ran as if there was a bee chasing after me. I couldn't control these painful emotions when they were together, kissing, hugging. I never wanted this to happen. Not right in front of me. My eyes caught a glimpse of Jungkook, who was walking casually down the hall.

"Felicia?" I heard him called my name when I hurried passed him. I grabbed the door knob to my door and had the trouble of turning it from my slippery hands. Finally able to turn the knob, I slipped right inside my room and closed it immediately when I saw Jimin coming at me within seconds.

"Felicia!" Jimin's voice shouted through my door, bang after bang. I crouched down against my wooden door while holding onto my heart necklace.

"Leave me alone." It hurt to speak. My throat was twisted from that scene. My eyes were still crying rivers. I couldn't show my face to anyone after seeing what Mei and Jin did.

"Jimin, what's wrong with Felicia?" Jungkook's voice reached the other side of my room.

"I don't know. . ." Jimin answered. "She saw Jin and Mei kissing. Then she ran off-"

"Err. . ." I heard Jungkook groaned in disgust. "Probably jealous. Girls do that."

"Probably. . . ."

I stopped listening to their conversation and got up from my position to lock the door. I walked over to my vanity mirror to check my red, puffy face. It didn't matter now. My feelings would never reach him at this point, as long as Mei was here with Jin.

O~~~~~~~O

I could only assume everyone left when I woke up, feeling dry tears on my cheeks. How long was I sleeping? I looked at the clock on my wall. I was taken back from the time. It was literally almost 3 pm. About 3 hours I was sleeping.

Jin came into my mind instantly and made me wanted to grab my phone to text him. I then remembered today earlier about him and Mei.

Was there even a point to text Jin?

Either way, I still wanted my phone.

"Where's my phone?" I murmured, searching to the thick layer of blankets. My pink phone wasn't there. Probably in the living room or on the table where I last left it. I walked over to my door and gently grabbed onto the door knob, remembering the last time I left the scene was when we were playing hide and seek. They couldn't be here waiting for me. Right? That would be ridiculous.

"Cutie, you're finally awake."

My heart took in the punch so hard, I almost tumbled back when I saw Jimin standing in front of my doorway. He was also holding my phone, just seeing his hand on the side with my pink phone.

"Hi. . ." Was all I could crack out.

Jimin sighed and gave me a sad look. My heart was racing so fast, I'm starting to think he was the only one here.

"I'm sorry. I should have told you this. . . from the beginning. About Jin and Mei."

". . . .Don't apologize." I murmured, but he didn't catch what I said when he handed me back my phone.

"It started from Jin and Mei being close friends." Jimin said. "They grew up together and they also grew to love each other. That's the best way I can explain it. It just happened like that. . ."

So they were childhood friends. That made a lot of sense. Nodding was my only response, yet the tears came to me like a bomb. I wiped them quickly when Jimin glanced at his phone when his phone rang for a second. I waited, not knowing what else to do.

I should probably thank him.

"I, um. . . Jimin, thank you." I felt a little better. I was glad it was Jimin because I could not imagine anyone else. Okay, maybe Namjoon or Hoseok, the smiling sun. Or Jungkook bugging me to make a pile of crepes.
