I shall not

"So, how's college?"

Jangmi asked, scooping a spoonful of rice from her plate, copper eyes staring back at me.

I shrugged, eyeing the peas on my plate.

"Well, Jin told me you've made quite a few friends." She asked again, keen to hear my voice.

It was true. Apart from Jimin and jungkook, for some odd reason, Jung Hoseok and Kim taehyung were keen on talking to me whenever we'd bump into each other in the corridors or the cafeteria. It felt weird knowing that I was talking to the uni's bad boys, but turns out their just two softies instead.

"Yeah, I've made a few.."

She smiled small, eyes directing to her Swarovski crystal embedded watch, "And how's the astronomy club going?" Her unbuttoned collar of her white office shirt hung loosely on her frame, displaying her exhausting day of work as the director for a big company.

"Good." I noticed her brows furrowing as she looked at the time.

Thinking that she deserves to know, I opened my mouth to speak but was interrupted by the sound of the passcode being entered at the door. And once it opened, I wasn't really surprised to see a just-came-from-work Seokjin huffing.

"Woah, this place looks squeaky clean!" He exclaimed, looking around the once untidy appartement of mine.

"A result of five hours of cleaning." Jangmi bragged, taking Jin's bag as he sat down on the dinner table.

"Wow, so we're having uninvited guests for desert? How convenient." I spoke sardonically, earning a gasp from the male.

"Hey, I'm your professor! Respect me!"

"Yeah, only in uni. At home you're just my sister's annoying boyfriend." I giggled as I saw his face turn red in fuming anger. The older woman placed a plate of food in front of him before taking her own seat and resuming her meal. "What was it that you were gonna tell me, hwannie?"

"Uh...my club's president is jeon jungkook." I spoke lowly, hoping that my sister will get the hint that I didn't want to talk about my ex-crush in front of Jin.

However, the loud-mouth couldn't contain her gasp. Silver slamming on ceramic, she looked at me with wide eyes. "You mean the jeon jungkook? Like the one from middle school? The one you had a serious crush on?"

Seokjin's gaze soon fell on me, his hand too ceased from movement. "A crush?"

"Oh lord jangmi, you don't know how badly I want to kill you right now." I muttered, sneakily slipping off my chair and almost running to my bedroom.

Almost.

"Wait a sec. Jeon jungkook? The cute kid that has a funny smile and is very naughty in class?" Jin spoke, making sure we were talking about the same person.

"Yes. And looks like you already have a crush on him since you've noticed him so many times." I joked, not amused.

"Jihwan, he's my student. Of course I'll notice him. And jeon jungkook? Seriously? Woah." He took a bite of his curry rice. "Good choice."

"Jin, she liked him back in middle school. I don't suppose you like him now too, do you?" Jangmi spoke calmly, placing a gentle hand on Jin's.

"I-" I stuttered. Did I like him? Because since these past few days of interaction with him, all I feel is these sudden stops in my heartbeat, and frequent heat on the tips of my ears. "I don't know."

"Well, its fine. As long as you don't stress yourself out about it and are true to yourself, everything will be good." This time it was jin who spoke. His hand intertwining with his girlfriend's. This was the time I realised how jin could also be really matured when he wanted to be. Well, he was the one who looked after me when I was bullied back in first year.

I nodded, picking my plate and placing it in the sink, I let a small smile grow on my face. "Thanks for helping me clean the mess, unnie."

I saw jangmi' face morphing into a cute grin. "Of course, tiny."

I then smiled at jin, "thanks."

"No problem, oji-hwan-kenobi." He used the cringy nickname he made for me back when we were obsessed with Star Wars.

And with that I made my way to my room, mind in a whirlwind of thoughts. But somewhere deep inside, I knew what I wanted. Who I wanted.
