Out Of Love [BTS ff]

《 27 》

Jungkook’s pov

“Everyone, here's the game plan,” Seokjin announced the second they left. “We’re going to let soahfmejdkwhfk dksjdkw djfhekd…” I tried my best, but I couldn't pay attention at all. All of me was wondering why Ho Seok hyung bothered to give Hye Soo a ride, considering how much he reportedly hates her.

I was sure I wasn't the only one. Taehyung nudged my elbow, shaking me back into reality. He glanced and stared at me for a good while, then looked away. Jin seemed to have just stopped talking.

“Jungkook,” Taehyung called,” clean the bedroom with me?”

“Huh, oh, yeah, ok,” I replied. We stared at each other for another minute or so.

“Yoongi hyung, clean the living room with me,” Jimin wrapped his arms around his neck endearingly.

“You clean, I sleep.” Classic Yoongi reply.

“Namjoon, help me clean the bathroom,” Jin said.

“Ugh,” Namjoon whined, “you picked the worst place thoughhh~”

“Hellllooo, Jungkookie? Let's go,” Taehyung gestured for me to follow him, which I did.

In the room, we started cleaning by not cleaning at all and just sitting on the bed. In fact, the second we stepped into the room, Taehyung sprinted and face planted onto the soft mattress. I, myself, laid down on it and started fiddling with my phone.

“Sooooooo…” Taehyung spoke first.

“Sooo…? Are you going to continue?” I said.

“Well hey, I figured that when you followed me in here you already knew what I was going to talk about.”

I laughed a bit in my head. Let's play with this kid, shall we? my mischievous conscience spoke to me. “I have no idea what you're talking about. All you did was ask me to clean with you. I figured I can get out of cleaning by making you do all the work for me, no?”

Taehyung didn't buy it. “Yeah ok, NO, first of all. Second of all,” he stuck his head in the direction of the door to make sure no one was around before continuing. He lowered his voice as he spoke, “what was that whole deal with Hobi hyung earlier. I mean, he was the one who accepted the idea of having her stay with us.”

“Yeah! Now that I think of it, actually, he acted really weird when she was talking about the whole stalking thing or whatever. I kept glancing over at him and I couldn't get a single read on him. It's not just this time, too,” I recalled every moment after Hye Soo told me about her situation that I tried to read Ho Seok hyung. “Each time, he goes silent and has a weird expression. I just don't know what it means.”

“Hmm,” Taehyung’s eyebrows furrowed together in deep thought. “I remember that one time when you tricked us into thinking you were dating Song- I mean Hye Soo, Ho Seok hyung just glared at you. At least I think it was a glare.”

“It was, stupid. I was trying to get a reaction out of him, and that was the only one I got. But it just doesn't make any sense to me.”

“I wonder how Hye Soo’s doing in the car. It must be so awkward… why did he even bother to drive her?”

“I don't know. I mean even if she WAS possibly just someone who looked like his sister, I don't see why he would still offer to drive her given the situation.”

“Should we text her? Y’know, to keep her company?”

“Nah, maybe it's best for them to just talk.”

Hye Soo’s pov

WHY WHY WHY AM I HERE AND HOW DO I GET OUT?!?!! I seemed quite calm and collected on the outside (though awkward), yet I was dying and screaming on the inside. My head was filled with thoughts…. Stupid thoughts.

Maybe I should just open the door and bolt at the next red light. No, that'll seem too suspicious. But it's better than staying here in awkward silence? Well then maybe I should just talk to him? But how do you start a conversation?? Ugh, how did I do it for all my friends? This is too hard-

“Where do I turn after this light?” Ho Seok asked, interrupting my thoughts.

“Ah, turn left,” I replied. The silence returned, as I just sat there, my hands in fists.

Ho Seok chuckled unexpectedly. “You know, the boys say you resemble my younger sister,” he said.

OH NO OH NO OH NO. WHAT DO I DO?! “D-do I? I mean I've never seen your sister before, so I'm not sure,” while trying to keep my voice calm, my mind became a cluttered mess in a state of panic. QUICK! WHAT'S SOMETHING I WOULDN'T SAY, SOMETHING I WOULDN'T SAY… something I wouldn't say… I shifted in my seat to face Ho Seok a bit. “If she looks like me, then she must be super pretty,” I held my palms up and connected the ends of them to make a v shape, where I rested my chin on.

Ho Seok let out a small laugh; one too happy to sound sarcastic yet too short to be genuinely entertained. “Sorry, but you're not that pretty… Hye Soo-ah.”

A/N:

Hiii! I tried to get this out before I started school but *heh* that didn't work out well. It might be harder for me to update now, since school has started and I have a lot more priorities this year. I hope you guys understand! ( This doesn't mean I'll be gone FOREVER though... :) )
