Forget Me Not✔️

Bite the Bullet

After Jimin left, you sat on your bed deep in thought, trying to process what had just happened and what you were supposed to do now. Your fingers would occasionally venture back up to your lips, still a little swollen from his rough kiss. You tried splashing some cold water on your face, watching some TV, nothing served to release your mind from your own torturous thoughts.

After a while, you tried to lay down and sleep. You weren't sure if you actually managed to sleep or not, but before you knew it, the sun was rising and you were staring out at the window across from you. Nova was still passed out cold.

Sitting up in your bed, you grabbed one of your pillows and tossed it across the way towards her head. "Hey!" You called out. "Wake up." You tried to wake her from slumber as the pillow landed on her face. She groaned and buried her head underneath it. Well that backfired.

It was still early and you knew she would be pissed when she saw the time, but you were restless. You needed to talk about what happened, and who better to give you advice than your best friend?

"Wake up! I need to you talk to you." You persisted, tossing yet another pillow. Another loud groan escaped your friend as she swatted at the air.

"Whhhaaatttt?" She whined, tossing one of the pillows you threw at her across the room. Rolling onto her side, she glanced at the clock on the night stand that read 6 a.m.

"It's 6 in the morning?" She complained, rubbing her eyes. "What in god's name is so important you needed to wake me up this early?" She said, clearly more than a bit grumpy.

"Something happened last night and I need to talk to someone about it." You fiddled with your fingers, twisting on your bed to face her.

"Whatever it was, it wasn't my fault. And if it was...my bad." She said, still rubbing at her eyes.

"What? No." You said shaking your head. "You didn't do anything. It's about Jimin." You started to explain.

"What about him?" She finally sat up in her bed. She glanced over to the table beside her bed and her irritated expression softened. She picked up the glass of water and pills that you had set out for her last night, popping the pills into her mouth and chugging the water. She gave you a grateful smile and motioned for you to go on.

"Well, after we got back to the hotel last night, you instantly passed out upon hitting the lobby -- THANKS FOR THAT BY THE WAY" You said, giving her a glare which only earned you an apologetic smile and a shrug. "Anyway, Jimin stayed for a while longer. We just talked for a while before... well..." You tried to figure out how to say it.

"Well what?" She said, encouraging you to get to the point.

"He...told me he liked me then he kissed me." You rushed, speaking that last sentence so quickly after your hesitation that it came out at one single jumbled word.

"What?!" She blurted out, her eyes popping wide open. Welp, she was definitely awake now.

"I don't know!" You said, grabbing your remaining pillow and hugging it to your chest.

"How the hell did that happen?" She questioned, looking at you with surprise.

"Again, I don't know!" You shouted, waving your hands in the air. "It was just a normal conversation! But it took an unexpected turn."

"Yeah, no shit." She said, rolling her eyes.

"Hey! It wasn't like I was flirting with him. It just came out of nowhere!" You tried to explain.

"Did you kiss him back?" Her brows were furrowed in confusion before they lowered in accusation. Did you kiss him back? You remember that tiny voice in your head screaming at you to stop before she was run over with a truck. You remember fisting your hands into Jimin's shirt to force his body closer to yours. Yeah, you were pretty sure that might constitute as kissing someone back, maybe.
