If Only I Was A Little Braver | Park Jimin

제 21 장

I'm so stupid to let myself wait for you to tell me the truth when I already know it.

...

the next few days was torturous.

it was firstly jae trying to talk to jimin then jimin trying to talk to jae then to the both of them ignoring and avoiding each other's presence.

cliche as it is, jae's 'I think you know best' made jimin crazy.

and namjoon's 'it's normally the thing you least expect they would know' that made him have sleepless nights.

his eyes instantly flew to jae who was currently laughing happily with her best friend like none of this had happened.

little did he know how much it had affected her as well.

then the next thing he heard was the bell ringing and sohye leaving the class with jae, seemingly to be having a serious conversation.

"this is some fucked up bullshit."

...

"that's fucking fucked up jae." sohye gripped onto her friend's arm tightly.

"I know." her best friend sighed, looking down.

sohye's eyes softened as she witnessed her own best friend silently being frustrated, the last thing she wanted was to see jae unhappy with boy problems when she's over the moon with hoseok.

but the truth was, things weren't going well for them either.

and jae noticed sohye's change in her facial expression.

"did something happen between you and hoseok?" jae eyed sohye suspiciously.

sohye lazily nodded.

"you see, the thing is, hoseok is always sweet and caring towards me and I can't forget the fact that he's making me like him even more than I have ever imagined. but," sohye hesitated.

"but?" jae carried on, impatient.

"he would always leave at weird times of the day. and during our dates too. I'm not saying that I want him all by myself but isn't it worse that I already know where he's going?" sohye sighed, completely relating to jae.

jae kept quiet, she knew sohye had to continue.

"I-i, I would rather he go and meet other girls than actually go and fight with people and be under a high risk of dying? plus, you know what he would always say?" sohye chuckled bitterly.

her anger was growing.

"I have family problems." she rolled her eyes in annoyance at his words.

jae pursed her lips, well aware of this sensitive topic.

"then I'm like, bij, I have family problems too and I don't see myself leaving so often." sohye snorted.

jae chuckled at her good friend's attitude towards things like boys.

"well-"
