||Your POV||

It's been 2 weeks. We went back to being the old us. Fast eh?

Well, I guess I'm good in pretending.

Even if I stop myself from loving him, I fall deeper.

Dreaming about him didn't help.

His small movements and was noticeable from licking his lips time to time, to chewing an invisible gum.

I noticed too that whenever we pass by a Gucci shop in the mall, he'd stop by the window and stare at the coats which gave me an idea because Christmas will be coming soon. I bought him the most Taehyung coat I can see.

Speaking of him, I see him by the window of the shop.

Shoot.

I quickly hid behind a rack. I tried to find a sweater for me.

Found one!

I grabbed the an oversized one and practically dumped them on the counter.

"I'll get these sweaters, please be fast. It's supposed to be that guy's gift." I pointed at Taehyung and he was still focused on a bag.

The cashier quickly grabbed them. I gave the cash and he put Taehyung's sweater under my large sweater.

His sweater: (a/n: his jacket in dna mv)

Your sweater:

The cashier gave me the bag and I thanked him.

"Thank you! Please come again!" I bowed in response.

I looked at Taehyung as I reached the window. "Taehyung!" I exclaimed.

Startled, he looked at me then smiled.
"Y/n! Didn't expect you to be here."
He looked down at my bag.
"Oh?! You bought from here? I didn't see you!"
"Yeah, I saw you from inside."

He went by my side as we walked to no where in particular. "So, what did you buy?" he asked.

"I needed a new sweater. I'll show you. But let's go eat first."
He agreed and went to our favorite restaurant.

Yes, we both have a favourite restaurant. We actually shared a lot in common. We both like Japchae, bubbles, the number 10, colors green and black, arts, drawing, and a lot more.

We reached the restaurant and ordered Japchae. This restaurant has the best Japchae, honestly.

We found a table by the window so we occupied it. I grabbed my sweater and showed it to him. "Cute!" he grabbed it and observed. I chuckled. He gave it back to me and I put it in the bag.
"So, what's your plan? Christmas is literally just around the corner! Just one week before Christmas!"
"I'm actually planning to go on shopping for gifts today so I might split up with you later on."
"I was planning the same thing."

Soon, our Japchae came and we ate it.

...

After eating, we walked together. "Oh? Is that MinHye?"
"hm?" I looked at where Taehyung's pointing. Oh, yeah. That's her. Why do I feel this isn't going to go well?

Taehyung walked towards her with his hands in his pockets. Even his back view looks so attractive. "Noona!" Taehyung shouted. She turned to our way. She was wearing a white and black dress. It was simple, yet it didn't fail to make her look like a goddess.

"Taehyung! Y/n! Why hello!" she smiled brightly at us. I smiled back and greeted her. I looked at Taehyung beside me. He seems mesmerized with her beauty. Although he is taller than her, his expression made him look like he is smaller than her. It seems like she took over him completely without even doing anything.

He really admired her. He told me she was his type. Which of course, made my heart squeeze. But I kept a smiling face.

The both of them started to talk. Taehyung excused the both of us for a while.
"Y/n I think I'm ready."
"For?"
"I'll confess to her now..." he smiled widely. My heart squeezed. This is it. Let him go,
y/n.

"...wish me luck!"
I smiled at him. "No need for that! I know you can get her! Remember what you told me before? You have the charms. Go get her, boi!" pushed his back and gave him one last smile. He started talking to her again. I stared at them for a while. I turned my back and walked away.

A tear escaped my eye.

I need to move on!

While I was walking, my phone rang. I fished my phone out while wiping my tears. I saw the caller's ID. It was Jin oppa. I cleared my throat and answered the call.
"Oppa? Hello!"
"Y/n! Turn around!"
I made a confused face and turned around.
"Pft! You really turned around?! Hahahaha! Just kidding! I'm upfront of you!"
I rolled my eyes and turned once more. I saw him smiling down at me. Damn tall guy.
I pressed the end call button and smiled up at him.

"What are you doing here?"
"Well, I was about to shop for Christmas gifts but I changed my mind."
"Hm? Why is that?"
"Weeelll, I don't want to bump into some lovey dovey people." I said and sighed.
"let me guess, you were with Taehyung but he saw MinHye and decided to join her?"

That is Jin. He knows I like Taehyung. He knows everything. He knows I confessed to him already. He knows I'm pretending. I share my problems with him. He's another best friend of mine. He is so brotherly and motherly at the same time. And if you ask, nope, we don't have romantic feelings towards each other.

"Not just that, Jin. Tae said he's ready to confess today."
"WHAT?!"
I just nodded. "well, let's just see what will happen." I said.
He nodded his head.
