CHAPTER 19

YOORA'S POINT OF VIEW

"Hey gorgeous." I heard Joshua said and put his arm around my shoulder while I'm peacefully eating lunch with Megan and Tiffany in our school's cafeteria.

"Hey." I greeted back.

"How's your weekend?" He asked.

"It's fine." I said.

"That's good to hear. Are you free later?" He said.

"Sorry, I have plans with my friends later." I said.

"What plans?" Megan said.

"I don't remember planning something for later." Tiffany said.

I secretly rolled my eyes.

Why am I ever best friends with these people?

"So you don't have plans later with your friends?" Joshua asked.

"I do have. It's not that they're the only ones I'm friends with." I said.

"Then let's do it tomorrow. No buts." He said.

"Joshua, look—" He suddenly cut my sentence off.

"Hailey, we're about to graduate soon. Just.. let me prove how much I like you. I know you kept on rejecting me, ever since last year. But please, I hope you consider me." He said and smiled at me.. even when I know that he's hurting.

I kept on hurting his feelings.

"I'm sorry, Josh." I said and stood up to walk away.

I think I need space to think about these stuff.. oh well.

School went as per usual and I'm still shookt as fudge. I still can't move on about the fact that my best friends like BTS and are avid fans of them.

How am I supposed to hide the fact that I know and am close with the BTS they idolize?

I didn't know Megan and Tiffany are ARMYs. We've been best friends since high school and I freaking didn't know anything about them liking K-Pop, more specifically, Yoongi oppa's group.

But here's the thing..

They don't know anything about me, being BTS' Suga's younger sister.

It's the biggest secret I've ever kept in my entire life.

I never told anyone that I'm related to a Korean idol and I never spoke anything about K-Pop, nor my brother's group at all. People just know me as a simple Korean girl, living her life in the US and studying to attain a good future—that's all. Nothing more, nothing less.

I should leave this behind for now since I have a project to do with my groupmates and we're going to present it next week, so we better do something as early as now for us not to cram because it'll just be more stressful.

I entered my house and saw no one in the living room. It's currently 4:00 in the afternoon, maybe they went out to explore.

Good, I can study in the living room.

I changed into comfortable clothes, got my school stuff and my laptop before going to the living room and prepared my things in the coffee table in front of the couch. I honestly like studying here in the living room because this is the usual place at home where I study. I don't know why but if I get the sight of my bed when I study in my bedroom, I get tempted to lay down and sleep. I don't want to be that lazy, so I decided to just study in the kitchen or the living room instead to get rid of the sight of my bed.

I'm peacefully making the powerpoint presentation of our group while checking the results of some online survey.. but I can't get my mind straight.

Where is Jungkook?

Is he okay?

Are we going to be okay?

Is there a way for me to solve our problem?

We can't just ignore each other like this, right?

I want him to know that I like him too—

"What the hell!" I shouted in irritation and threw a small pillow from the couch.

Yeah right, I'm going crazy.
