Jungkook thought Yoongi is way over his head if he thinks it could work out between Vee and him. Anyone can see that she likes Hoseok. The way she looks at him, the sound of her laughter when she's with him and her smiles— it's all different when Hoseok is with her. He was hoping it wasn't true but that day, it really couldn't be denied anymore. It's not that Hoseok is a bad guy for her. He's really the best there is. Although, there's a part of him that wished he was better. That he could compare to him.

Jungkook realized he liked Vee whenever his eyes would follow her everywhere she goes, when his head shot up at the sound of her voice, when her laughter became melodious in his ears, when his heart clenches every time their eyes meet and when her smile makes his worst days feel like the best. Sometimes, he'd feel grateful that Yoongi helps him in his own ways but sometimes, it breaks his heart a little every time she chooses someone else over him.

"Hey, you okay?" Jungkook snapped out of his own thoughts when Hoseok nudged his arm while they were preparing in the locker room. "You're awfully quiet. Something bothering you?"

Jungkook went back to putting on his training shoes and replied, "Nothing really."

"You like Venus, don't you?" Hoseok brought up and made Jungkook stop in his tracks, frozen.

"I don't." Jungkook continued, shrugging it off.

"I don't believe you." Hoseok teased him. "I've seen how you look at her lately and I can tell you pretty damn well it's not because you hate her guts." He gave Jungkook a smile. "You like her."

"I would never like her! Ah, so annoying.." Jungkook replied with such conviction, making Hoseok surprised. Jungkook felt angry that, of all people, she likes someone he was fond of. If only she chose someone who he hated, then it would be easier.

Hoseok didn't know how to react to the younger one and he lost the chance to when Jungkook pulled onto his shoelaces tight before walking out. Since when did he start having these feelings? He felt guilty afterwards. He shouldn't have said that to Hoseok. It was stupid and childish.

"Did anyone fight with Jungkook?" Jimin asked as soon as he entered the locker room. "He totally ignored me when I said Hi to him on his way out. He looked kind of pissed."

"You know how moody his ass is." Taehyung let out a big sigh. "One moment he's smiling then the next he wants to murder your ass. It's totally normal for him."

Jimin shrugged at that, "Well, that's why the girls like him. I don't get why girls fall for psychopaths."

"I don't like him." Vee mused quite proudly and made the Jimin and Taehyung smile.

"Liar, liar pants on fire." Taehyung sang merrily, grinning at the girl.

"What? It's true. I don't like him." Vee retorted.

"You didn't have to brag that you don't like him but you still did." Jimin teased with a big grin. "I think you're whipped for Jungkook."

"Whipped? What! No way." Vee was flustered at the term. "No way am I liking him. What is whipped even?"

"Well, whipped is the state of-" Taehyung was stopped short when Vee stood up.

"I know what is. It was a rhetorical question." She said, almost shouting.

"Look at you blush." Jimin said, smiling as he nudged Hoseok. "Hey, let's play a game. I spy with my little eye, someone whipped as hell."

"Ugh! I told you I'm not!" Vee said, "Tease me one more time and I'm going to-"

"Kiss Jungkook?" Taehyung suggested with a huge smile.

"Ugh, whatever. You two are so childish." V said to the two before walking out.
