17: Misunderstanding

Jungkook's POV:

Everything's a mess since that article came out.

I don't even know how they can conclude that IU sunbaenim and I are dating. I just found out that she's also in Japan to promote her new album when I bumped into her on the streets. I was on my way to my favorite cafe since I'm craving for Japanese cheesecake, so I decided to ask her to join me. She agreed. We were both friendly towards each other since we're well acquainted and have met on numerous occasions, but this is the first time we've actually been together.

I guess all the press had a field day because of that, but that's no reason to conclude that we're dating. And who tf is that BigHit insider that they said confirmed 'our relationship'?

I admit that I used to have a huge crush on her but I've learned to let go of that when I realized she was in a serious relationship with someone else. I didn't even know that they've already broken up. I guess because of that, that the press are speculating who her next boyfriend will be and they happen to see us together.

To be honest, that's not my kind of scene and I don't think IU sunbaenim is interested in me either. She was kind as always but treats me like she would her dongsaeng (younger brother).

BigHit's PR Team is busy denying the press claims about our supposed relationship, but for some reason people think that we're just trying to cover up the truth.

I honestly don't give a shit anymore, I only care about one person's opinion. I'm worried as to what she may think when she hears this news. I promised to tell her my real intentions then this news broke out.

I was terrified to call her. I don't want to face her wrath, but I'm even more scared to see her crying.

The following day, I finally had the courage to give her a call. I need to do this before she believes all the rumours and just start avoiding me. I couldn't let that happen.

I was relieved when she answered the call, at least she's not avoiding me.

We talked about a lot of stuff like we always do, but it's just really weird. She never brought up the news about me and IU. And I couldn't bring myself to ruin her day by being the one who tells her about it.

After a while, we ended the call.

I was still baffled. I'm not sure what to think of that conversation.

My hyungs knocked on my hotel room that moment. They knew I just made the phone call I've been dreading to make.

"How did it go?" Jin hyung asked as they all sit beside me on the bed and some on the couch.

"I'm not really sure." I told them honestly.

"Did you explain it to her?" Taehyung hyung asked.

"I didn't get the chance to." I told them.

"You didn't get the chance to? Or, you didn't have the courage to do it?" Yoongi hyung voicing out his suspicions.

I wish I have his courage right now, or at least that I don't give a fuck facade that he's trying to portray every time.

"I'm scared as shit, alright, but she never brought it up too. We talked like we used to before this news broke out." I explained.

"Maybe she didn't hear about it." Jimin hyung said.

"You said she didn't have sns accounts, right?" Hobi hyung asked. "So maybe she really didn't know about it."

"Whether she knew about it or not, if you really like her you should be honest about it." Namjoon hyung commented.
