The Rivals

CHAPTER 4

CHAPTER 4:

Today is Friday. Friday is our PE day. PE is my least favorite subject. I was walking in the street when I saw Jungkook walking on the other side.

"Jungkook!" I called him but he didn't seem to hear me.

When I arrived at school I saw my friends. They look relieve when they saw me.

"Eunha, how are you feeling?" Sowon Unnie asked.

"I'm okay now. Don't worry." I smiled.

"The boys were worried about you too." Yerin Unnie said.

"You mean BTS were worried about me too?" I was surprise.

"Yes, why won't they be worried?" Yerin Unnie said.

"I'm not use to it but thanks anyway." I laugh a little

"Yes, you're right. I'm not use to it too. Let's go." UmJi said. We went to our classroom. I kept thinking about Jungkook. I said something bad to him.

RECESS TIME..................

I was looking for Jungkook because I wanted to apologize about what I said yesterday. I saw Joy talking to him. I hid beside a locker so they won't see me.

"You promise you'll date me. Why are keep avoiding and embarrassing me?" Joy is acting flirty.

"Are you dumb? Do you think I would date some flirt like you? I wanted to date someone nice and someone who knows her limit. You are over your limit. Find someone who can handle your annoying attitude." Jungkook said while walking away.

"You like her, don't you?" Joy shouted. Jungkook turned and walk closer.

"No, I don't. She only sees me as a jerk. Why would I bother liking her if she doesn't like me back?" Jungkook disappeared.

*What does he mean by that? Who is that person anyway?* I asked myself. I look everywhere but I can't find Jungkook. I went in the school garden and saw him sitting by the ilang-ilang tree. I went to him. He saw and stood up.

"What are you doing here?" he asked me.

"I wanted to apologize. I didn't mean to tell you that we can't be friends. We can be friends but........." I stopped.

"Why?" he said while walking closer. My heart was already fast.

"We can be friends but it's complicated because were rivals. My mind keeps on reminding me that we can't be friends but my heart wanted to us to be friends now I can't chose. I'm sorry.......... I have to go." I ran away. It's hard to choose if my mind and heart aren't getting along. But before I could ran he stopped me and whispered something. He left after that. I couldn't tell what he told me. it was like I ------ ---- you. *Nan molla* I thought.

I went to the dance studio to practice. They were all waiting for me. We started practicing. The music started. We got along, we were laughing when we make mistakes, and we help each other when one of us forgot their part. For a day we forgot we were rivals. I finally saw their good characteristics. They're weird too. They're weirder than the Gfriend. We took a break. We've been practicing so hard we forgot to eat. We ordered some pizzas and burgers. This was my treat. After what happen I wanted to make it up to them. Jungkook was really quiet the whole practice. It bothers me to say his but he seem so disappointed. I don't know why but maybe it's because of me. After practice I went to the bathroom for a minute to call WonHo Oppa. As I went out I saw Jungkook waiting. I tried to walk past without him seeing me.

"Wait, Eunha can we talk?" he saw me. I turned to see him.

"Why now? Can we do it tomorrow? Oppa is waiting for me at home." I said.

"We can do it the way home. We live in the same street anyway." Jungkook said pulling my wrist.

"Wait............ We live in the same street?" I asked shockingly.

"You don't know? You are really clueless." Somehow he said with a sad tone.

"What do mean I'm clueless?" I asked defensively.

"I didn't mean it in a bad way, okay. Don't take so seriously. Anyway, let's go." Jungkook said. Why did he keep on pulling me? Did he have to hold my hands? He could have held my wrist. I can't understand that weird feeling when he held my hands, somehow it felt so weird and nice but what does it mean? My heart skipped a beat.

"Are you okay? You seem so out the world?" Jungkook asked while laughing.

"What... Yes, I'm okay. I just remembered something that's all." He noticed me? "Anyway, what did you want to talk about?"

"Never mind, I'll tell you sooner or later." He looks so disappointed every time he talks to me.

"Can I ask you something?" I said.

"Sure, what is it?" he asked.

"Are you mad at me?" I stopped walking. Jungkook stopped as well. He turned around and met my eyes. They were right; when you look into his eyes a spell would be cast. I look away before something happens.

"I'm not mad it's just that something is going on right now that I can't explain, okay." He said. I nodded so he may know that I understand. "I'm sorry for doing this but........."

What does mean? I look at him because I was confuse then he hugged me. I was dumbfounded. I was frozen like ice in Iceland. My heart skips a beat. What kind of spell is he giving me? Somehow it's taking affect on me. I was blushing madly but thanks to the darkness he couldn't see me.

I arrived home when I saw father waiting for me. I'm in big trouble now. I'm not sure but I don't feel right. All I know for sure something is gonna happen.

"I'm home!" I shouted.

"Good, I have great news to tell you two." Dad said as I gave him a big hug.

"What is it?" WonHo Oppa asked as we sat down the sofa.

"I have a promotion at work. My boss is having a party tomorrow and he asked me to invite you as well." Dad said.

"You had a promotion?!" I asked excitingly.

"Yes, wait......... I heard you were practicing for a dancing competition with your rivals?" dad asked mischievously.

"Yes, but it's going well." I said.

"Who is that guy you're talking about? Your worst nightmare. How is it going?" dad asked. He had to ask.

"Well, his my partner for the dance, and it's going just great but there are times that we have some misunderstanding." I said.

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?" dad said.

"The past days he seems to act weird." I said.

"What kind of weird?" Oppa asked. I forgot he was there.

"He said that I was really clueless, just because that I don't know that we live in the same street. Then he hugged me for no reason." I said confusingly.

"He likes you." Oppa said.

"No he doesn't." I said defensively. "Why did you say that?"

"I know it because when boys said your clueless it means they do something to show they like you but you don't seem to notice it even he did several times. Then you said he hug you without any reason. He wanted to do it because he is showing you that he's hurting inside because you can only see him in another way that makes him upset." Oppa explain.

"No way, he hates me, he's been mocking since elementary and he never even look at me. I'm going to my room. Good night." I said.

"You're not eating dinner?" dad asked.

"I'm not in the mood to eat." I said. I went up to m room.

*Why on earth would he like me? There's no way he would like me.* my heart started to beat faster by the minute. My heart is telling me that something is bothering Jungkook. Wait............. No Jungkook is a jerk and my rival nothing else more. I took my pillow and buried my face.
