with the word:

'Yesterday was fun. Hope you had a good time with Jimin too.'

I turned off my phone, before placing it on the desk next to me. Today was the day of the charity festival. And even if I didn't want to see Jimin after yesterday's "scenario", I still had to.

Why you ask?

Cause he volunteered to help the our club with the booth. With his constant nagging around me, he was finally successful in annoying me to the core and was thus allowed to help us with the booth.

However, with him being here, our booth was nowhere near done.

"Yo, hand me that paint bottle! Hobi hyung's going down today!" Taehyung yelled as Jimin threw a bottle of paint towards him.

"Oh please, you can never defeat me! For I have the power of god and anime by my side!" Hoseok screamed as he played with a roll of paper, swinging it around like a sword.

Jungkook being the president had some club related work to do in the teachers office, and so had left me in charge of the situation. But I was nowhere 'in-charge'.

I sighed once again, eyes tiredly moving between the three boys before me.

"Guys! You know what else would be fun?" I saw their glimmering eyes looking at me. "If we'd actually get some work done!"

The commotion finally resided after my comment and soon enough, the boys started their respective tasks.

I sighed, messing my hair in a feat of motivation, I stood up from my crossed-leg position and made my way inside the booth.

The inside was almost close to done. With red curtains and an open roof for stargazing - surprisingly the idea being Jungkook's and not mine.

I looked around before crouching down near the extra planks of wood that were neatly stacked on the side of the booth, ready to be thrown away. Trying my best to pick them up, I was startled when I heard the curtains to the entry being drawn.

And of course, my clumsy self had to embarrass myself, resulting in the planks falling on my toes.

I shrieked in pain, as I fell down. Rubbing my toes in means to ease the stinging pain.

"Oh shit, I'm so sorry!"

I heard the familiar voice speak before a mop of blonde hair blocked the view to my feet.

You gently placed a hand on my feet, causing me hissing in pain.

"Do you want me to get you some ointment or-"

"I'm fine, Jimin." I tried getting up, rejecting your offer to hold your hand.

You stood there, your hands fiddling to find what to do next, as I made my way towards the telescopes that were placed around the booth.

After about a few minutes, I heard you speak.

"Why do I feel like you've been ignoring me since yesterday?"

I sighed.

Turning around to look at you, I emotionlessly replied. "Yes. You thought right. I am trying to ignore you."

I watched how your expression changed, getting ticked off by my sudden change in attitude. "And may I ask why?"

I sighed, exasperatedly. "Because of what you did yesterday."

I didn't hear you speak up so I continued.

"I never thought you could stoop so low; trying to kiss me while you already have a girlfriend? How cheap can you be?"

I saw how your face turned shocked. "What?"

"Oh now don't try to act innocent!" By now I was completely ticked off, and I didn't even know why. Was it really because of what happened yesterday? "First you make me fall in love with you, then you try to act all lovey-dovey when you've already established that I'm nothing more than a friend to you! What's your deal?"

"You like me?" Was all you replied.

"Yeah, used to." Did I though?

And after a pause of two seconds, you asked, "its Jungkook, isn't it? That's who you like now?"

I wasn't given a chance to reply as taehyung had entered the booth with a stack of posters in his hands.

"Jihwan, Jungkook asked you and I to put these- oh? Did I interrupt something?" Taehyung's round eyes moved from me to you, his mouth left hanging.

"No. You didn't interrupt anything cause we didn't have anything for you to interrupt." I spoke seriously, my eyes looking straight at you.

Finally tearing my gaze away from yours and to taehyung's, I spoke again. "Lets go put those up."

I pulled taehyung by the arm, dragging him inside the campus and into the corridors, not looking at you even once.

I knew what I did was right, but somewhere down inside I questioned my instinct and jin's advice from yesterday...

Did I really want to be left distant from you?
