Just Friends

"Going or Not"

 "What?! You're going with whom??"
.
.
.
.
Jungkook's voice roared in the school's gymnasium when you told him that you're going to the prom with Kangwoo. At first, you wanted to be with Jaesuk but then Kangwoo asked you first but it seems like Jungkook totally disagreed with it.
.
.
.
.
"Shouldn't you be happy that I'll be wearing a gown?" You asked as you lift a box of coloring materials but then Jungkook grabbed it from you and he was the one who placed it on stage. He was surely pretty upset about it that he didn't speak. "Ya, Jeon Jungkook. What are you upset of?"
.
.
.
.
"Nothing." He replied coldly.
.
.
.
.
"You don't want me to go to the prom?" You threw another question making him stop and looked at you.
.
.
.
.
"If it's possible then yes." He said and you really can't believe it. The last time you talked to him he was dying to have you join the prom but now that you're taking risks of wearing a gown and high heels, plus enduring what you're going to feel on that night seeing him dancing with Chanmi, he suddenly doesn't want you to come. You feel upset, that's for sure because you felt you're unwanted all of the sudden. "H-how could you.."
.
.
.
.
"Did Chanmi said yes?" You suddenly asked and gave you a short nod. "Then why do you still have that face?"
.
.
.
.
"Why?" He snapped, "This is my happy face." He said with a straight face.
.
.
.
.
You let out a scoff, your hands unknowingly held onto your hips. "Jeon Jungkook, will you be serious? I'm going to the prom. Aren't you happy??"
.
.
.
.
"I'm not happy! I don't want to see you in the prom!" And for the first time, he yelled at you angrily. You scoffed again and looked around seeing people staring at you.
.
.
.
.
You took a deep breath and flipped your hair, "I'm not going to the prom then." You nodded to yourself as you said it but you were already hurt. You slowly turned your back on him and started to walk away.
.
.
.
.


Why on Earth did he say that to you?
.
.
.
.


"Haesoo-a.." You were walking towards the exit door when you heard him call your name but you pretended not to hear him. Now it was you who got upset with him and you don't even know what will you do after this.
.
.
.
.
Soon as you got out from the gym, you met Kangwoo who was just thinking to see you.
.
.
.
.
"Haesoo, I was about to see you I-"




"I'm sorry Kangwoo, I'm not going to the prom." You said as you held his shoulder, that you're really sorry for canceling or ditching him or whatever they call it.
.
.
.
.
You can see how Kangwoo's face turned upside down, "Why?" He asked, you turned to the side and shrugged, you don't want to tell him that his best friend doesn't want you in the prom without knowing a reason. Having you upset was enough but you guess you already made Kangwoo join you.
.
.
.
.
"But why? Don't give me that answer." He said, trying squeeze out words from you since it was his first time to have a date in prom. "Haesoo-a.."
.
.
.
.
"Kangwoo, I'm so-" You stopped when you saw Jungkook beside the gym doors looking at you. Both of your eyes caught each other but you tore your gaze away from him and turned to Kangwoo. "I'm really sorry Kangwoo, I suddenly don't feel like going."
.
.
.
.
"But you still have time to change your mind tomorrow, just call me okay? I will wait for you." He said with a hopeful smile.
.
.
.
.
"Sure I will." You forced a smile at him. Kangwoo is a nice guy and cute and you really feel bad ditching him but you have no choice but to do that since you lost your mood for the prom because of your Jungkook.
.
.
.
.
Kangwoo left and Jungkook was still there looking at you. You really wanted to avoid him but he was the one who approached you.
.
.
.
.
"Haesoo-a.. Hey." He said calling your name repeatedly as he walks up your pace, trying to follow you want to get your attention but it'll upset you more if you're going to talk to him. "Haesoo will you please talk to me?"
.
.
.
.
You stopped when he said that, "What? I already told Kangwoo that I'm not going." You said coldly, avoiding his eyes. You were about to walk away when he held your shoulder, "Ya will you get that hand of yours off of me?" You snapped with a raised brow.
.
.
.
.
"Look, Haesoo I'm sorry I just-"
.
.
.
.
"Jungkook I'm really upset right now, so please." You said cutting him. Even Kangwoo was your friend, you'd still be hurt for ditching him and not going to prom.
.
.
.
.
"Haesoo.."
.
.
.
.
You heard him call your name as you left and there your eyes start to burn in tears but you held it in since you were in school and there are a lot of people around you.








-






The moment you arrived in your house, there you poured out your anger towards your comfy pillow. You hate it. It's your first prom and someone asked you to be his date and your best friend is not happy with that and he's sorry after you ditched your date making you miserable right now. You really hate it. You cried the whole night and even ate a 1-liter ice cream tub because of it. It was the first time you got upset with Jungkook since you became friends - best friends and it hit you big time. How come he doesn't want you to be in the prom? Is it because of Kangwoo? Is it because he will be with Chanmi the whole night? Is it because he doesn't want to see you wearing a gown? These questions really went through your mind that night as you cry and never thought of a single idea why.
.
.
.
.
The next day, you woke up seeing your dress getting fixed by your mom.
.
.
.
.
"I'm not going to the prom." You said between yawns as you rubbed your eyes sleepily. Your mom stopped and turned to you with a 'what' look. You said it again and this time it made her frown.
.
.
.
.
"What? Are you not? but you'll miss the fun!" She said going to your side and held your hand. "It's the highlight of your highschool life and-"
.
.
.
.
"I don't want to go." You said, turning your eyes away from her and looked at your own reflection in the glass window.
.
.
.
.
"Haesoo don't be such a killjoy."
.
.
.
.
"I'm not a killjoy mom, it's just that someone doesn't want me to be there." You mumbled but it was loud enough for your mom to hear. She went to cup your cheeks and you look at her.
.
.
.
.
"Who does he or she think he is? Stopping my baby girl going to the prom with this dress and-" Your mom was about to say embarrassing words again when you stopped her.
.
.
.
.
"Mom it's no use. I don't feel going anyways." You said, leaning back to the head of the bed.
.
.
.
.
"Is it Jungkook?" She asked making you stop and looked at her. "Why do you think he doesn't want you to go to the prom?" And for the first time, your mom made a point. Of course, you already thought of possible reasons but you don't know what it is. You wanted to know the reason but how? If you're not going to the prom then how would you know why Jungkook doesn't want you to be there? Is he avoiding something from you?
.
.
.
.
"Mom, do you think it's worth to know?" You asked your mom, not knowing that you made her heart happy because you asked for her opinion. "I'm afraid I might lose him."
.
.
.
.
"If he really is your best friend he'll understand." She said and cupped your chin. You smiled and hugged your mom tight thanking her for making you feel okay.
.
.
.
.
"Okay, so are you going to the prom or not?" She suddenly asked as you both pulled away.
.
.
.
.
"I think I have to call my date back." You grinned.
