Just Friends

"Final"

Not so long, your days in Seoul are counting. It was the last week of the semester and you have to finish your clearance in order for the school to dismiss you properly. You were asked to paint the chairs in your homeroom alone, at first it was okay for you but soon as you stayed long in the area where paint was everywhere you started to get annoyed. It's really hard to paint 30 chairs alone and its scent really makes you hard to breath, so you decided to call your friends for help.
.
.
.
.
.

"I'm sorry Haesoo, I'm so busy today. I have to clean my room." Ahreum said the first one whom you called.
.
.
.
.
"Since when did you had the feeling to clean your room?" You asked her because it was really unusual for Ahreum to clean her room, because she always makes her brother do it but then again, you gave up on her and called Chanmi instead.
.
.
.
.
"Argh." You hissed when you immediately ended the call with Chanmi. "How can she date Kangwoo while I'm here suffering?" You threw your phone on your bag and sighed.
.
.
.
.
Everyone is busy, annoyingly busy.
.
.
.
.
They knew that you're going to transfer but they seemed to doesn't care at all. Finally, you thought of calling Jungkook to ask for help but the same as the others he was busy.
.
.
.
.
"Aish, dammit!" You cussed and kicked a rock which you thought was light but was actually not. "Oh, mother cow! Stupid rock!" You yelled, falling on the ground whining in pain. Good thing is that no one was around. You sighed frustratedly and decided to go back to painting once again.
.
.
.
.
For three hours, you already painted 10 chairs ALONE, you got hungry and decided to have lunch for a while. You locked the room and went to go to the canteen, but you were surprised to see everyone was there. The people you called earlier were there.
.
.
.
.
"SURPRISE!" They all cheered.
.
.
.
.
"Wow." You said unlikely.
.
.
.
.
Everyone's smile went down and went to blame Jungkook. "See? I told you she doesn't like surprises." Ahreum said.
.
.
.
.
"I didn't know that." He scratched his head in embarrassment. You really hate surprises because you don't know how to react to it. You really suck in reactions.
.
.
.
.
"Ya." You suddenly cut them.
.
.
.
.
"What? You're mad?" Chanmi said, with her hands on her hips. You shook your head and went to hug her and Ahreum.
.
.
.
.
"I'm going to miss you." You started to sob.
.
.
.
.
"Eww, no crying, please! You're so gay!" She whined, patting your back but eventually torn up as well.
.
.
.
.
"Shouldn't this be a happy surprise party?" Jaesuk spoke.
.
.
.
.
"I am happy." You pulled away and immediately Jungkook gave you his handkerchief. Everyone cooed at the scene making both of you blushed.
.
.
.
.
"Ya, we're best friends," Jungkook spoke with his face radiating pink.
.
.
.
.
"Haesoo-a, he was the one who planned this," Kangwoo said giving you a piece of rose. You cried even more and went to hug Jungkook tight. You don't know what to do but hugging him felt like the best reaction for this moment.
.
.
.
.
"You planned this?" You asked him as you pulled away. He nodded, wiping your tears with his thumb. "Wow. Great." You said, making a slow clap that sounded like you're being sarcastic again. Jungkook puffed his cheek and glared at you.
.
.
.
.
"I really hate you when you do that." He frowned.
.
.
.
.
"Why? I can't help it." You grinned and pulled him into a hug again. You felt his arms wrapped around you that you were not warned before he stole a kiss on your cheek.
.
.
.
.
"Ya, get a room!" Your friends yelled, throwing boo sounds at you.
.
.

Your friends helped you paint the chairs. You finished your duties before the day ends, that made Jungkook surprisingly asked you on a date.
.
.
.
.
"Whew, I feel awkward right now." You chuckled nervously as you both heads to the mall. He noticed that you were somehow annoyed because of your bag that was filled with painting materials which were quite heavy for you.
.
.
.
.
"Let me carry that." He said, but didn't wait for your response and want to get your bag from you. "Oof! Why is this so heavy??"
.
.
.
.
You hissed, "Tsk, it's not heavy! If you can't do it, give it back!" You said as you tried to reach your bag from him.
.
.
.
.
"On the other side, you're heavier."
.
.
.
.
"EXCUSE ME?" You exclaimed, eyes bulging out from your eyesockets as you glared at him. "I'm not heavy!"
.
.
.
.
"You're not the one who carried yourself to the clinic." He chuckled.
.
.
.
.
"Ya, Jeon Jungkook just tell me if you want to get beaten on the face." You hissed.
.
.
.
.
"Ooh, I'm scared." He cooed, making a shaky wiggly action with his body. Your eyes widened at the sight; it was like an american dream for you. Too cute to handle.
.
.
.
.
"Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. I am totally not falling for that." You rolled your eyes in annoyance and pure disgust but you admit that you really fell into it.
.
.
.
.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you're with me." He grinned.
.
.
.
.
"Yeah, whatever." You scoffed.
.
.
.
.


"Wow, this is perfect." You smiled as you watched the sun set in the horizon. Jungkook brought you to a tower near the seaport. You both climb the topmost part where you can the see the view perfectly. The sea breeze was perfect as well, cool and cozy. "What do you think Kook?" You asked, not taking your eyes away from the view.
.
.
.
.
"Yup." He said.
.
.
.
.
"How can you describe it?" You asked. "For me, it's perfect. Like it drowns to the sea.."
.
.
.
.
"Blah, blah, blah.. too deep." He mumbled, making funny faces at you.
.
.
.
.
"Ya." you snapped, hitting his chest. "You really want to die do you?" You glared.
.
.
.
.
"Just kidding." He laughed.
.
.
.
.
"I'm serious Jungkook, don't ruin the moment when I'm deep with an amazing art." You sighed, you really love explaining how you feel about a view or an art or something, so it really annoys you if someone breaks it.
.
.
.
.
"Okay, I'm sorry." He said, kissing your temple. "So I'll describe the perfect view... just for you to forgive me."
.
.
.
.
"Be serious." You warned.
.
.
.
.
"Well, I normally don't like art. I suck at it." He chuckled, but it took a while for him to continue until you both sat on the floor and just leaned on each other's back. You were facing the south and he was facing the west. "But... I didn't expect I could find something amazing.."
.
.
.
.
"Something?"
.
.
.
.
"Well, actually it's 'someone'." He quoted. You don't know if he was just making fun of you but your heart seemed to be calm as it listens to every word that he says. "She has straight long black hair, with bangs that levels with her eyebrows.. she's not sexy though, but perfect for her heavy weight.."
.
.
.
.
"One more about the weight and I'll kill you." You said through gritted teeth.
.
.
.
.
"She's pale.. has big round brown eyes.. she doesn't smile a lot but you will really love her when she smiles.. the way she cries, get mad, or even when she laughs like an old woman.. she's perfect. Park Haesoo's perfect... so that's how I describe the perfect view for me."
.
.
.
.
You fell quiet, he really means everything.
.
.
.
.
"Haesoo.."
.
.
.
.
"What?" You snapped and as you turn you gasped when you found him facing you closely already that you jumped away from him. "God! Jungkook! You scared me!!"
.
.
.
.
"Why? Because I'm handsome?"
.
.
.
.
"No, because you have a big nose. Pfft." You snapped.
.
.
.
.
"Eeeeh, don't get too personal!" He pouted as he stood up. You got on your feet and gazed back at the sunset that was half drowned in the sea, then after a moment, you felt a pair of arms wrapped around your waist and Jungkook's chin rested on your shoulder.
.
.
.
.
"Aish, ya Jeon Jungkook we're best friends. Not lovers." You flicked his head.
.
.
.
.
"But we will be when the right time comes." He chuckled. "You're going to Daejeon, just let me do this for once."
.
.
.
.
"Fine. You're lucky that I like you.." You smiled, pinching his nose.
.
.
.
.
As you both watched the scenery, you can't stop from thinking about what could possibly happen to both of you in the future. You knew that you can't tell the future, but you hoped a lot that everything will be the same with Jungkook. You're too young to commit, but you just let life write your love story. Like you said, if you two are meant for each other, then you are meant for each other. You still have a long way run, and you'll be living the next 3 years in Daejeon. Having these doubts made you wanted to stay beside him, but you just can't.
