My Hero : Jungkook

Chapter 12

"Where are we going?" I asked, curious.

"What time is it?" Jungkook prompted me.

"Umm...5:30?" Confused, I tilted my head.

"Like in general," He rolled his eyes.

"The afternoon?" I smiled, sure of myself. I squeaked as Victoria jabbed me in the side with her elbow.

"Dinner time, pabo!" She whispered in my ear, annoyed.

"OH! DINNER TIME!" I exclaimed, understanding.

Jungkook nodded slowly, and exchanged an amused glance with Victoria.

"Oh...but I don't have money...We didn't bring money..." I bit my lip, worriedly.

"That's okay, we can pay for you," Jungkook offered.

"No...it's okay," I put my hands up, objecting.

"It's fine!" Jimin insisted.

"But-"

"It's not my money," Suga shrugged.

"We don't mind," V jumped in.

"You guys have already done so much..."

"I want to pay for you!" Jungkook explained.

"But I don't ne-"

"Were friends now!" Jungkook smiled at me, innocently.

I paused.

'Friends...'

Ouch.

I felt a unexpected pang of disappointment at Jungkook's words. I know, they were meant to be sweet, and reassuring...I was supposed to be happy! This is what I had wanted all my life...right? But no, instead his words hit me like a stormy cloud of rain. I took a deep breath in, and looked up.

"Right. Thank you!" I forced a smile, then looked away. Right, friends. Friends that tease each other. Friends that save each other. Friends that constantly get shipped by their friends. Friends that kiss. That left me with a question, that had been hanging in the back of my mind for the last day. What were we? Who was I to him? And what was he to me? Friends with benefits? Did he like me? Or was I just a toy, conveniently there to add something interesting to his life? Or was I his sweet fan that he was giving back too for supporting him and BTS? I shook my head, attempting to clear my mind from the tornado of questions whirling through my head. Of course, I was a fan or a fun, temporary fling, possibly. He was a talented, adorable, hot, famous Kpop star. He had probably had done this to many girls, and fans. I was just one of them to him.

"Ooh. Friend zoned!" Victoria whispered into my ear, noticing my disappointment.

"Yeah. I've gotten myself some weird ass friends then..." I whispered back.

"OH YEAH!" She broke our chain of secret whispers, yelling, "YOU HAVE A HELLA LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO!"

I shrunk back away from her, taken aback by her sudden yelling. BTS's attentions all turned towards us, shocked. Annoyed and expecting her to apologize, I stomped on Victorias foot.

"What? I wanna know. Now," She demanded, shrugging her shoulders, dismissing my slight anger. Sighing I rolled my eyes.

"I would've told you but now everyone's listening." I retorted.

"Welp, shoulda told me earlier," She looked at me, unphased by the fact that they were all watching us.

"Yeah, now you have to tell us all! What happened?" RM Chimed in, earning my attention. I was about to protest when Jin added to the pressure.
