The Boys

Chp 4: Idols Ignite D-1 @ Shenzhen

Jessica's POV

I couldn't sleep. It was too much sitting between V and Bambam. It hurts. V, the one who was always there for me no matter what happened. Bambam, the one who risked his life for me and forgot about me.

V fell asleep 30 minutes after the plane took off. I laid his head on my lap and played with his hair as he slept. Bambam comes back from the toilet.

He sat down and fidgeted with his hands. When we were together, if he was shy to say something, he would do that or scratch the nape of his neck. Does he want to say something?

"What do you want Bambam?" I whispered, still playing with V's hair.

Out of the corner of my eyes, I see him looking at me in shock. "That's your habit back then."

He nods " I remember."

I looked at him in shock. I remember? What does he mean?

"What do you remember? Do you remember what you said to me when we celebrated New Year?"

He chuckled and hugged me " I remember everything. Why won't you let me finish my sentence? back then too."

I looked at Sunny who was hugged by Jungkook. She's crying. We make eye contact. I feel my own tear wetting my cheek. I gave a small nod and smile. We have to face our problems. Sooner or later.

I pushed Bambam gently. I focused on V again and played with his hair. "Let's just break up. Let's stay as friends."

Bambam grabs my wrist " F-f-friends?"

I pulled my wrist out of his grip. " I moved on. You will have to. Someday, we will break up anyways. Plus, I-I-I like V."

He retreats his hand and hung his head low. " I lost you. I lost you Jessica."

I ruffled his hair and gave a small smile. "Silly. I told you we will stay as friends. Best friends. I know it sounds stupid but I like you. As a friend in a brotherly way."

He locks eyes with me. This time, I pulled him into a hug. He hugged me back. He pulled away and smiled at me.

"But I have a favour. Can we not make our break up public? At least let our "public" relationship survive."

I smiled back "Sure. So you're saying you didn't survive?"

He chuckled a little. I held his hand. " I know it might hurt but it will be better after a while, right?"

V's POV

I was almost dozing off but Jessica laid me on her lap. The sudden movement kept me awake. I liked the feeling of her fingers running through my hair.

She was talking with Bambam. I didn't mean to eavesdrop but I was awake, I couldn't sleep, they need to talk and I wasn't going to complain about the position I'm in. [haha sry. it sounds byuntae]

" Plus, I-I-I like V. " She likes me?! I feel like screaming in joy and doing my happy dance. But, I was pretending to be sleeping so I celebrated quietly in my heart.

I fidgeted and sat up as I rubbed my eyes, pretending to be sleepy. I smiled at them and pretended to be innocent.

" Were you guys talking? *yawns* I'm so sleepy. Can I lie down on your shoulder?" I pointed at Jessica who nodded twice.

I laid my head down with a smile. She likes me!

Getting ready for Shenzhen...
