A mysterious transfer student who captures everyone's hearts and an identity that only he seems to know, Jungkook is a new student at Bangtan High who's popularity climbs to the near top the moment he walks in.
Jimin is part of a long time ulzzang...
My breath hitched when he said that, his eyes piercing into mine with so much intensity that it felt like I'd lost when I blinked.
"What do you mean by leading to me?" I whispered, words passing my lips but my mind not registering the situation.
"Everything I did with you today...this wasn't just a day to hang out,"he replied, leaning in closer.
My heart beat rapidly but my body wouldn't move away, locking in place from Jungkook's gaze.
"I know my answer now," he said, his voice in close proximity and in a deeper tone.
My eyes flickered to his moving lips before hastily looking into his eyes instead.
"And?" I dared to ask.
The sun was down and covered, dark shadows now dancing against his face.
Stars could be seen in the distance and it became dark very quickly. Soon, the whole sky was almost pitch black as we sat at the cliff, watching the blue ocean become a reflection of the stars.
The corners of his lips pulled up into a small smile.
Jungkook suddenly got up and held out a hand to me.
I took it after a bit of hesitation and stood up. His hand let go and traveled towards the direction of the horizon, pointing at something upwards. I followed his guide and watched in amazement as shooting stars cascaded in slow motion through the sky.
It was a beautiful sight and I marveled over the aesthetic of this whole place.
My mind was already engrossed in the stars but in a split second, Jungkook took my hand...
And held it to his heart.
"You are my answer," he whispered.
Time seemed to stop in that moment as he hugged me and all I had in my thought process was how warm it felt to be in his arms. It felt like he'd protect me from anything and everything, as if he would be with me side by side through thick and thin.
I touched the spot that he kissed gently.
My guard was beginning to go down unconsciously.
I didn't pull away from his hug... but I didn't embrace him back either. Even though I started to open up, my worries overpowered that.
What if he's just doing this to get back at me later? What if he's just joking around?
All of these questions, and an infinite more, filled my head and I finally pushed Jungkook away, taking a step back.
"Even if you have your answer," I started, looking towards the darkened sky. "I don't have mine."
"Jimin, I'm not saying this can work out right away," he said. "If time is what you need-"
"What is this?" I said, pointing back and forth between us and cutting him off. "What are we?"
"It's been 2 weeks since I've met you. It's-That's not even a month yet. If you think there's something going on between us already, you're wrong," I continued.
I shook my head with an air of ignorance, my emotions getting the best of me and running my actions.
"We're both guys. And we're not even friends either. Why are you assuming that we can be more?"
The look in his eyes changed and he looked so...hurt. As if I broke the very thing he cherished and scattered the pieces.
I felt a pang of guilt.
Seeing him hurt like this... my heart felt so empty and hollow.
My lips sealed back together, unable to say anything and immediately regretting those words.
I didn't mean to say it in such a demeaning way... but it was true.
I don't know what we are but I'm more afraid of what we can become.
Because with change...comes consequences and pain.
I don't understand these feelings that are inside me and I don't know if I ever will.
"I'm not saying anything about us yet," Jungkook said, moving so that my eyes were facing him. "All I want is to stay by your side."
He glanced at the sky where the stars shone and then back to me.
"That's my wish," he whispered.
I looked into his opalescent brown eyes, seeing so much certainty and trust in them.
He bit his lip and let out a shaky breath.
"Just tell me one thing," he said, sounding desperate. "Tell me that you want me by your side."
My lips parted and I felt a sob in my throat as I spoke after a moments hesitation.
"I don't want you..."
