7. we need to talk

Luckily, no one saw me snooping through Hana's phone. I continued class as if nothing had happened.

But I am not about to let this slide. Jungkook needs to know.

-

"Kook! Jeon! Hey wait up!" I catch up to Jungkook and walk next to him, since he is my neighbor after all.

"Yoona! Hey what's up? We haven't walked home together in forever. Where is Taehyung?"

"He had to stay for math." I pause. How do I approach this?
"Jungkook, we need to talk-"
His phone starts ringing.
"One sec Yoona, hold that thought."
His face lights up, "hi Hana!" I cringe. How could she do this to him? He is so pure.
He nods his head as he talks, "yeah, no it's totally fine. You should go! Alright! Talk to you later jagiya!~"
He hangs up the phone and slides it into his bag.
"How is Hana?" I ask to break the tension in the air.
"She's good. She said she is going back to Japan to visit someone, so she won't be at school tomorrow."
I nod. 'It's probably that guy she is cheating on Jungkook with'

"My parents are out of town, do you wanna come over and have dinner? I'll make your favorite!"

Jungkook smiles, "pizza and pork soup rice?! Like old times!"
I nod and laugh at his childish-ness. He grabs my hand, "well we better get going then!"

-
After preparing the meal, we sit down and eat in silence. I feel very uncomfortable.

Jungkook finishes rather quickly and helps me clean up. After, he plops down on the couch and turns on the tv.
"Wanna watch a movie?" He asks and tilts his head towards me.
I sit down next to him and turn off the tv, "actually...we need to talk."
He faces me with concern, "uh oh that's never good. Is everything ok?"

I take a deep breath.
'You're helping him Yoona remember that...this is for his own good.'

"Hana's cheating on you."

A pause.

Jungkook erupts with laughter.
"I'm serious Jungkook. I saw texts on her phone with another guy...the one from Japan." He stops laughing, "oh my god you're serious..."
"I'm sorry Jungkook. I thought she was a better person than to hurt you-"

"How could you?"

"I don't know- wait what? How could I?"
"I never thought you were this jealous. How dare you make up lies about my girlfriend?! I never thought you would steep this low!" He says angrily. I stand up, "Jungkook I'm not lying to you! WHY would I lie about something this serious!? I'm trying to PROTECT you!!" He stands up and towers over me, "yeah right! WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE YOU?!"

"CAUSE I'M YOU'RE BEST FRIEND!"

He starts walking towards the door, "A BEST FRIEND WOULDN'T LIE TO ME!"
I pursue him, "A BEST FRIEND WOULD BELIEVE ME!"

He stops and I bump harshly into his back, "then I guess we aren't best friends."

Everything stops. I freeze; unable to move a single muscle.
"Jeon Jungkook. Don't walk away from me."
He proceeds to open the door but I grab his arm which he jerks harshly away, knocking me over.

My ears start ringing.
I feel something warm on my head.

"Goodbye Yoona."
