Jungkook's POV

I walked home slowly as I thought about what had just happened. Surely— Surely he's not talking about me, right? I mean.. That's impossible, but it makes so much sense.

The pronouns he uses when he talks about the person he "likes," the way he talks about them like he's confused, the fact that he doesn't want to say the name to a stranger, possibly because he doesn't want to out himself, and he doesn't like Mason at all.. because of me?

Maybe he's confused?

Is he confused because he's questioning his sexuality? If so, how do I come into this?

Why- Oh God, don't tell me that my picture was the one he got turned on by.. No... My innocence is being broken right now.

I shook my head and turned on my phone.

Me
Tell me who it is.

Now.

Or else I'll tell everyone ur secret

Taehyung
What secret??

Me
Idk

Can u tell me something to use??

Taehyung
What??  No?!?!

Me
:(

Fine. Why do you like this person?

Taehyung
Bc they're nice to everyone

They ARE super cute

They have a pretty smile

They're smart

They are friendly

But I probably suck ass in their eyes

Me
Why aren't you using "She?"

I furrowed my eyebrows and wished I hadn't pressed send. I facepalmed and stomped my foot on the sidewalk. I should've worded that so much more differently than I did.

Taehyung
Bc what if they don't go by "She" ???

U brat

Me
Are you saying it's a boy? 😶

Taehyung
Is that a bad thing?

I nearly dropped my phone, wishing I hadn't even read that message. Is it me? How can it be? All I did was send one message to him a week ago and he was suddenly texting me— a stranger— saying that there was no doubt in his feelings towards me.

If only he knew who he was texting.

Me
Idk what to say besides go w ur heart

Don't let this person hurt u 🙃

I turned off my phone and sighed.

I'd never thought about Taehyung in that way before. I always saw him as the bad guy who hated me, not the softie with a thing for me.

I frowned when I thought about my last relationship. My old friend had told me that being gay was bad and that I shouldn't be in a relationship with another boy.

I ended up leaving the boy and my "friend" still left me as well, saying that they didn't want me to rub my "Gayness" on them.

My foot hit something, causing me to fall onto the ground. I cried as I landed on my finger, causing it to swell up like a balloon.

I balled up next to a lamppost and cried even more, not ready to face the fact that I was back to square one. A boy likes me- but this time, I have nobody to tell me what's right or wrong.

Taehyung is a cute guy, but is he nice?

Does he actually like me?

He had never been nice to me until recently. Maybe.. Maybe it's because he likes me? Or maybe he's just trying to mess with me..

But how could he mess with me if he doesn't even know that I'm the one he's been texting?

I cried and rubbed my hurt finger. After a while, I heard footsteps come up next to me. I raised my head and gasped at the person standing next to me, getting ready to kneel down.
