Some people are worth melting for 4 days until the ball
Jungkook My tears streamed, down my face as I sobbed inside the pantry:
- Oh god, stop being so pathetic, you really thought he would like you? - Yoona said scoffing. - Go work already, and try not to break something else, dad has enough bills.
She said leaving. Of course, he does, you spend every fucking penny he gives us. I tried to dry my eyes a little bit so that I could focus. She's right, he wouldn't like me that way, I should stop dreaming and come back to reality.
- Jungkookie!! - I hear a high pitched scream calling me from the store.
I giggled at my dramatic friend, tying my apron I go see what he wanted:
- Kookie guess what happened I was in... Wait, were you crying? - he asked suddenly worried.
- Don't worry about it now Jiminie, I really don't want to talk about that. - I said putting coffee to brew. - Tell me, what happened?
- Oh! So, when you left, after the council reunion, Yoongi came and said he wanted to talk to me, remember? - I nodded.
- Well, guess what, he invited me to the ball. - he squealed - I'm so happy Kookie! I bet Taehyungie is going to invite soon enough and...
He widened his eyes realizing I was uncomfortable:
- Are you sure you don't want to talk about it? - I nodded.
A bell rang inside the store, and a customer walked in:
- Hello guys - Seokjin said with a kind smile.
- Hi, hyung. - I said.
- Why so sad? Did something happen? - he asked.
- Not really, it's more something that didn't happen. - I answer. - But oh well, life must go on I guess, what do you want?
- I want a blueberry muffin please, to go. It's my turn to invite someone to the ball. - Jimin widened his eyes.
- Really? Who's the special one hyung? - he asked.
- He's a senior already, his name is Namjoon. - Jimin and I gasped.
- Wow, the Namjoon? He and Hoseok are like the most wanted seniors of all time! - I said. - You're so brave for inviting him! I wish I could be more like you sometimes.
He smiled:
- He's my boyfriend silly. You shouldn't give up just yet, I bumped into Taehyung in my way here, and he seemed odd. - he said - I don't need to know what happened, but I'm going to give a few tips, the best way to get someone to realize their feeling for you is, 1- food - he shook the muffin in his hands giggling - 2 - actually telling him, which in your case is not a possibility. - I sighed.
- And three, the riskiest yet must I say effective, jealousy. A dangerous thing to play with. - he said winking. - Thanks for the muffin dear, see you at school.
I widened my eyes. Jealousy? How could I make Taehyung jealous? I didn't even know if he liked me or not!
- You're not thinking about that, are you? - Jimin asked. - I think it might be a good idea, just make sure you don't use someone for your own profit.
I nodded.
Friday came soon enough and I couldn't stop thinking about what Jin told me, maybe I could give it a shot, it wouldn't hurt anyone right? I see Jimin talking to Yoongi, they seemed to have figured their feelings out. I wish I was more like that. Taehyung was beside them and guess what Yoona was clinging into him:
- Hey Jungkookie! - he said as soon as he saw me. - Come here!
I was about to when something, more like someone stopped me:
- Hi! You're Jungkook, right? Jin told me about you, I'm Hoseok. - I smiled shyly and nodded - He told me about your little problem, I want to help you. Guess what, I also can't seem to make my crush notice me. - he said sighing.
- Really? That's so nice of you hyung! - I said.
- Okay, follow my lead! - he said and we started walking towards the other four.
- So you'll go to the ball with me? - even though I knew it was fake, I couldn't help but blush. No one had ever said those words to me.
- I will. But I-I'm sorry if I'm not able to stay with you for a long time. I-I have to help t-the council and the food stands. - I said fiddling with my fingers.
I raised my head so that I could see my friend's reactions. Jimin had a knowing look on his face, Yoongi seemed confused, so did Yoona. Taehyung had an unreadable gaze towards Hoseok, it seemed... aggressive?
- I'll see you later then. - he said waving at me.
- Oh my god, Kookie! You got someone to take you to the ball! - Jimin said coming to my side.
- I-I guess I did? - I said confused.
- I'm actually impressed. - Yoona said, she seemed really confused - I thought you... - she looked at Tae - Well, never mind, congrats.
She left bidding goodbye to Taehyung:
- I know she's your sister Jungkook so sorry for saying this. - Yoongi said to me - But Taehyung, I know she gave you the shortcake, but I really don't like her.
- My mom died of birth, and she blames me a lot. - I said sighing
Then something hit him:
- Wait... Did you say - Did you say she gave the shortcake to him. - I asked.
- Yes, she told him yesterday, why do you seem so surprised. - I frowned.
How could she? She can do whatever she wants, I don't mind, I let her blame me for mom's death, I let her treat me oh so badly, but why did she need to steal the guy I liked from me. My frown got bigger and bigger. I feel my breath become uneven:
- Kookie let's go, our class will start soon. - Jimin said taking me out of there.
We went to our class:
- How could she? I mean, H- Jiminie? I do whatever she wants me too, I-I put up with all her bullshit, and this is how she repays me? Stealing my fucking crush, she knew it was him, she... - I sobbed.
- Shhh, don't cry Kookie, everything is going to work out, did you see Taehyung's face when Hoseok asked you out? He was super jealous, we're going to reveal the truth sooner or later. - He said comforting me.
- Now come, just continue with our ball plan, you'll see, in the end, everything is going to work out just fine.
