MATE {Jungri}

19.

jungkook were chatting with yeri at the cafe when eunha suddenly barge into the cafe and smiling like a kid. when she saw jungkook, she runs over to jungkook's table to get him.

she looked as happy as a clam. honestly she missed that man very much.

"oppa!!" she yells. hugging jungkook's neck from the back as jungkook was sitting down on his seat. startled, his eyes widened. so do with yeri at her unexpected gesture. not infront of me!

Jungkook pulls her arms and moves it away from him. looking at the back, when he saw eunha smiling ear to ear towards him, jungkook turned his gaze at yeri, he sense a dark expression flashes out of that lady's facial. wasn't sure why yeri looked uncomfortable. probably uncomfortable to eunha's sudden behaviour.

"hey, eunha." jungkook awkwardly greets her with a short smile.

eunha could clearly see jungkook's eyeballs keep going back and forth from her to the girl who sits on the same table with jungkook. so she turned looking at yeri. eunha eyes balled out. she recognize that woman. Jungkook oppa girlfriend?

"is this....?" eunha couldn't continue asking but jungkook could read what she wants to ask him, yeah yeah if the woman who sits across him is his girlfriend.

"yes." jungkook and yeri answered in unison. jungkook quickly look at yeri's side.

"I'm his girlfriend." yeri forced a smile. jungkook swallows a big lump on throat, nervous that yeri suddenly plays his girlfriend character without jungkook asking her to.

eunha stands there frozen, her smile fell while looking at jungkook. "i thought she would be fake." she mumbles softly, but yeri could hear her.

"which part of the story did you considered me as fake?" yeri tilts her head, raised her right eyebrow. She crossed her arms over her chest.

eunha stays quite, wrinkles appear on her forehead.

"be free to sit down, though." yeri tells her, trying to calm down her heart. jungkook nods, scooted his chair closer to yeri.

eunha sit across both of them, looking at them both unexpectedly very quiet. doesn't look like the eunha that jungkook met months ago. she usually very brave and loud. or she probably just shocked, still and couldn't process what she want to says.

"so, do you have like something for ....jungkook?" she paused. "love thing or..." yeri asking, calmly. jungkook clears his throat, feeling small around those two glaring eyes.

"i like him!" eunha blurted out.

Jungkook caress his back head. "this is awkward, eunha. you shouldn't tell my girlfriend you-"

"it is ok, kook." yeri cuts him. "i want to hear her side." yeri smile sheepishly. "if she likes you, let her say it." yeri turned to eunha, nods her head asking that young to speak.

"do you love him? really?" asked eunha. Yeri smile sheepishly, looking at jungkook and hold his hand. "yes." yeri answers curtly.

"do you even think he loves you?"

Jungkook furrows, "eun-" yeri squeezed his hand to make him stop whatever he's going to says.

"i heard you're going to leave him if you're jealous." eunha paused, looking at jungkook who frowns. "then, leave him! I'll take him." eunha confessed, her voice is high.

yeri was taken aback. she let go jungkook's hand. jungkook palms his face as yeri turned her face to him.

"eunha," jungkook calls her, trying to asks her to stop whatever she's going to say more.

"he talked to me!" eunha ignoring jungkook, not even spare a glance over that man. She keep her eyes on yeri's. "he texted me at night. he told me what he did daily in australia. he probably likes me but too scared to drop you. Isn't it what men do when they began to like a woman? they reply to thei woman's texts at night, willing to listen." eunha tells based on her mere assumption.

yeri couldn't believe what she heard. she knew jungkook loves her, but at the same time she felt like cheated by jungkook's confession to her. she doubt jungkook even loves her at the moment.

what if jungkook likes eunha. what if he doesn't like me anymore?

how dare jungkook confessed to her but then, he flirts with a kid? that is what yeri thoughts.

"what are you saying, eunha??" jungkook stammered.

"what if you're the third wheel in here? you were not there for weeks here and he met me! what makes you think he didn't fall for me?"

jungkook standing up, holding onto eunha wrist to make her stop.

"he obviously forced himself to keep loving you because of guilt!"

yeri was totally shaken up, she stood up of her chair, feeling offensive. she bent out of the remarks eunha told her. walks out of the cafe, leaving the two.

"yem! Yem!" jungkook called for her, yeri didn't even take a turned on him, not even stop for a minute. jungkook was shocked that yeri behaves that way, at the same time he thoughts he could lashes eunha at that time but he didn't.

eunha is too young for him, she is a little sister. she could be unreasonable at times.

"eunha, i told you about not to freely talk gibberish. I don't like you! I love her." jungkook said in a hard slow voice. "i might be good to you but that was not out of love. you're just like a sister to me." handle his anger just fine, storms out of the cafe to catch yeri.

eunha furrows. "i thought, you like me back." she whispers, tears fall down her cheeks.

.

jungkook called her number again but no answers. she didn't pick up her phone the whole day. jungkook has no idea where that woman hiding herself.

he tried to reach taehyung but taehyung cannot be reached as well. when he asked tzuyu and jimin where that woman would be if she's mad, they both told him the place but jungkook already go to the mentioned place. she is no where to be found.

.

Ringing sound_

"hey, why are you calling me??" taehyung questioned through the call.

"hey, tae. yem is home or not?"

"nope, why?? did you lose my sister??" tae asked, almost screaming. jungkook knew he was exaggerating his expression.

"where would she be if she's mad? I went to her usual place but she's not there."

"find her at the park near the arc building. she's usually there."

"at the faculty??"

"yep."

"thanks, tae."

"hey!" taehyung calls him before he turned off the call. jungkook hummed, listening to what taehyung was trying to say. "if she's out of control, you can call me." he grinned, chuckles could be heard by jungkook.

"aight."
