Chapter 15 "Why? (1)"

Your POV

It was the next day at school and you saw Nayun standing next to her locker. You decided to go to her.

"Nayun! Annyeonghaseyo!"
She smiled and she walked forward to you.

"So, did you get Jungkook's number?"

I lightly hit her arm.

"Yahhh I thought he did something bad to you!"
"Hehe, sorry.."

The bell rang and you waved goodbye to Nayun. You headed over to your classroom and found Jungkook reading a book.

You went over to your desk, sat down and asked, "What are you reading..?"

He ignored you.

Aish, this boy...

"Yah, are you really going to ignore me in school? I'm coming over to your place today, you know.."

"Aniya, I'm coming over to yours."
"Wae? Is there something you're hiding from me?"
"Aniya. I have 7 people including me living in my house so--"
"Oh RIGHT! You live with your members.. well that's a bummer, I really wanted to see your place.."
"Sigh..whatever.."

After School

Jungkook POV

"Taehyung?" I called.
"Yeah?"
"What time is it..?"
"It's 4.30 pm. Why?"

Okay, good, y/n probably forgot our meeting today.

The doorbell then rang.

I opened the door.

"Jungkoo--"

I immediately slammed the door in her face.

SHE REMEMBERED?!

I gently re-opened the door and asked, "the heck? Why are you here? In my house?"

"You were supposed to head over to my house but you forgot."
"Arresso, I'll get there now--"

"Jungkook?"
"Yoongi-hyung?" I said as I turned around to see yoongi with a pillow.

"Who's this?" He raised a brow.
"My seat-buddy. We're supposed to do some project together."
"Oh.."

He walked up to y/n and introduced himself.
"Yeobseyeo. I'm--"
"Suga, right?" She finished his sentence.

"Mwo? You know BTS?"
"Well... I--"

I cut her off by saying "She was checking Jiminie and I in the War of Hor--"

She pressed her palms against my lips.

"Umm.. I've heard of you guys! Yeah, haha.." She said, then glared at me.

Yoongi shrugged and headed over to his room.

She let of my face.

"YAH WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" I yelled.

"For the last time I wasn't checking you out.."

I smirked. "Oh really? Then what were all the screenies for?"

"...research..?"

I could tell that she was lying but I didn't care that much.

"Okay, so did you practice the chorus?"
"..I guess I did a little."
"Alright, let's see what you got."

I turned the bluetooth speaker on and it played I NEED U.

She danced the first part well.

But in the part for the body roll, she lost her balance. I ran over to her and supported her waist, preventing her from falling.

".....w-was that bad.."
"Of course.. that was an utter failure." I stated.

Silenece hung in the air.

"J-Jungkook.."
"What?"
"..you can let go of me now."

As soon as I realised that I still had ny hand wrapped around her waist, I immediately pulled away and stepped further from her.

"S-sorry."
"..that's okay.. can you just help me out with that 'you're so beautiful' part?"
"Sure."

We started practising the dance moves all over again.

"It's getting late. You should get going."
"Thanks Jungkook." She said as she smiled.

I don't know why, but I could hear my heartbeat.

...what's going on with me..

The next day, Your POV

-

"..Even though Jungkook doesn't remember, he is still nice, is he..?"

You muttered to myself.

You went over to my locker and you saw Nayun crying beside it.

"Nayun? What's wrong?" You asked as you stroked her back.

"..y/n?.. I'm sorry. I.. just had alot going on.."
"What happened..?"

She took a deep breath. "I... lost my father.. he's.. dead.."

You immediately gave her a hug, feeling her sorrow.

"It's okay... here, I'll wish for your hapiness," I said, taking out my lighter.

Jungkook POV

-

I was about the head into class when I overheard the conversation of y/n and Nayun.

-

"Nayun, I wish that you will be happy!" She then blew out the small flame.

"Haha, thanks, But where did you hear that superstition from, y/n?"

"..A childhood friend of mine who left me. And probably doesn't care about me anymore."

-
That's when it hit me.

"Doesn't care about me anymore?"

How could you...

Why, Min y/n?
