It's Complicated

17

Jimin only got to the game at halftime. Everyone was chatting and hollering as he made his way past to sit next to me and my Mom. I gave him a hug and a poke to his side before we sat down.

"What took you so long?"

He smiled so wide to me and then to my mother; stars in his eyes as he looked at me again, "I got a scholarship Y/N. My top choice got ahold of my state audition, and they were so impressed they called the director and spoke with us. I did it Y/N!"

"Congratulations Jimin," my mother hollered with a smile.

"Thank you!"

I squealed as I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him tight, "Oh my God I'm so happy for you! Ahh! That's so amazing!"

He hugged me back tighter, "I can't believe it. This is really happening."

I giggled as I pulled away to pinch both of his cheeks, "It's real! Your hard work has paid off Jimin!"

He smiled wide, his eyes disappearing completely behind his red cheeks, "I'm so happy."

"Ah~ I'm so happy too."

He put his hands on mine and pulled them down in between us, "I wanna take you with me."

I glanced back at my mom hesitantly and then to him. But she was polite enough to excuse herself, although be it with a teasing wink and a big laugh. But now that my focus was all on him, I was a bit at a loss of words.

"Huh?" The sounds of the cheering and the talking around us seemed to stop as my ears tuned it all out. "....with you?"

He grinned, "Of course I can't, seeing as you're a year behind me. But I won't lie, I've thought about us going to the same college. I mean," he sounded unsure, "You were still planning on going to State right?"

I gulped, looking down at our hands, "Yeah of course."

"Then we can be together after highschool too," he said with hope in his voice.

"Right," I automatically responded. But my nerves were getting the best of me. I quickly stood up and faced him, "I have to use the little girl's room, I'll be right back."

"Don't fall in the toilet."

"I'll try not too," I returned his sarcasm.

I couldn't leave fast enough though. My mind played images of us in college together. Being that couple on campus. I don't really cringe as I think about it, but it's still embarrassing. Me and him in college, possibly dating. Starting adulthood together. Maybe that would lead to some bad mistakes, fighting, but ultimately making up and maturing together. Doing the whole life thing with him seems nice.

But where would that leave Jungkook?

As I finish up my business in the bathroom, I feel stuck in my head as I leave. I'm distracted enough that I run into someone on the way in. "Oh I'm so sorry, I'm-" My eyes opened wide, "Seulgi?"

"Y/N?" She looked surprised at first, but the look of annoyance soon took over, "Still too busy in that head of yours huh? Gotta ruin everything."

"Excuse me?"

She huffed, turning her head to the side, "I know it was because of you that Jimin broke up with me. And what does he get? You're sleeping with Jungkook."

I was completely confused and getting irritated, my voice naturally getting louder, "I'm not sleeping with Jungkook."

"That's not what it looked like when I saw you get out of his car down the street from school."
