Love me if you DARE

Real

The next day at school.

Jung Mi was walking to school as usual with headphones in her ears. When she got to her class, she saw a note. She put down her things, as she sat down and opened the piece of note.

{On the note}
I heard everything, come find me if you can.

Jung Mi was confused at what they meant on the paper. Then she remembered that time when she was talking to Irene on the school roof. Jung Mi pulled out the pen and look at the initials "SE".

Then Jung kook quietly walked into the classroom, from the back doors and scared her, while she was concentrating hard on who it could be.

Jung Mi: Aish!
(She yelled annoyed, shocked.)

Jungkook: Sorry. Did I scare you.
(He said smiling, satisfied.)

Jung Mi: Why would you do that?

Jungkook looked and saw her holding the pen.

Jungkook: What's that?
(He asked curious.)

Jung Mi looked at the pen. As she quickly put it in her desk.

Jung Mi: Ah. It's nothing.
(She said faking a smile, flustered.)

Jung Mi was sitting at her desk when a guy came up to her and put a milk carton on the corner of her desk. He sat down in the seat in front of Jung Mi's, facing back towards her.

"Drink this."

Jung Mi looked at the milk carton. Then him.

Jung Mi: Thank you, but I can't.

"What do you mean? Do you think I did something to it? Why would I?"
(He asked confused and flustered.)

Jung Mi: No, it's not that. I'm lactose intolerant.
(She said quite embarrassed.)

"Ah, I see. Sorry." He said even more embarrassed.

Jung Mi: It's okay. Many people don't know that about me.

"I'm Seo Joon. By the way."

Jung Mi: Nice to meet you. I'm Jung Mi.

Seo Joon smiled at her sweetly, not being able to take his eyes off her.

Jung Mi: Is everything alright?
(She asked confused and flustered as she saw him blankly staring at her.)

Seo Joon quickly snapped out of it.

Seo Joon: Yeah, everything's fine. Want to eat lunch with me?

Jung Mi was quite taken aback and flustered at the sudden question.

Jung Mi: Uh.. Sure.
(She said unsure.)

Seo Joon: Great, I'll wait for you.
(He said smiling as he got up and walked over towards his friends.)

Jung Mi: That was weird.
(She mumbled to herself.)

Then Sohye came back from the bathroom and sat down as she heard Jung Mi.

Sohye: What's weird?

Jung Mi looked over surprised to see her back.

Jung Mi: Huh.. Nothing.

Sohye: What is it? You can tell me.

Jung Mi: It's nothing. And Sohye.
(She said facing towards her.)

Sohye looked at her.

Sohye: What is it?

Jung Mi: I.. Might not be sitting with you guys today at lunch. So you Jungkook, Irene, and Taehyung can sit together.

Sohye: Why? Are you not eating?

Jung Mi: Anniyo. It's just, someone wanted to eat with me today.

Sohye suddenly got interested and turned towards Jung Mi.

Sohye: Who is it?
(She said smirking as she grabbed onto her arm.)

Jung Mi smiled.

Jung Mi: It's just this guy.
(She said shyly.)

Sohye: Ohhh.. Is he handsome?

Jung Mi: Well, kind of.

Sohye gasped.

Sohye: Woah.. Are you falling in love too.
(She said teasing Jung Mi.)

Jung Mi: Anniya. We're just going to eat together. That's it.

Sohye: Araso.
(She said with a smirk on her face as she turned back to face her desk.)

Taehyung walked in to see Jung Mi and Sohye smiling and giggling. He walked towards his desk, which was now next to Jungkook's.

Jungkook: Oh! You're here?!
(He asked surprised as he saw Taehyung.)

Taehyung: Am I a ghost then?
(He said teasing as he put his things down, and sat.)
By the way, why is Jung Mi and Sohye so happy?
(He asked Jungkook as he looked over at Jung Mi and Sohye.)

Jungkook: I don't know. But it sure does feel like a good day today.
(He said smiling.)

***

In the cafeteria.

Taehyung, Jungkook, Irene, and Sohye sat together at a lunch table.

Jungkook: OH! Where's Jung Mi? Is she not eating?

Taehyung looked up and around the table. Jung Mi really wasn't here.

Sohye smiled.

Sohye: Jung Mi went to sit somewhere else today with someone.

Taehyung: Who is it?
(He said interested.)

Sohye was quite taken aback at the sudden question.

Sohye: I don't know, maybe a friend she met today.

Taehyung: Where are they?
(He asked curious.)

Sohye: How would I know?
(She answered flustered.)

Taehyung looked around the cafeteria tables, and saw Jung Mi. Across from her was SEO JOON?!

Taehyung was surprised and shocked. How could Jung Mi be sitting and eating with him right now instead of with them.

Taehyung stood up with his lunch tray. Jungkook quickly grabbed his wrist, confused of why he stood up, since they just sat down.

Jungkook: Where are you going?

Taehyung: To see if it's real or not.

Jung Mi: Ever since the beginning of school, you've always told me what to do! Who are you boss me around?!
(She said angrily as her eyes got watery.)

Taehyung: Are you serious?
(He said quite upset.)

***

Taehyung: Araso.
(He said nodding as he looked down at the floor.)
Do whatever you want. But when you get hurt, don't come running back to me.
(He said walking away upset.)

Jung Mi felt a lump in her throat as she swallowed hard. She also felt some guilt.

Taehyung: If you do date him, cut me out of your life. I am no one to you now.
