Goosebumps

Chapter III

Two weeks had passed without a single text and you had just ignored that fact by then. You were creating expectations for nothing. Of course he wouldn't text you. Of course he wouldn't like you and want to have you in his life. You were not that special.But still hurt to think that he had your number, he could text, and yet... He didn't. Your friend, on the other hand, was getting even closer to Jungkook, which made you happy. You liked seeing her happy and giggly every time he texted. He started texting you too, after a while, asking for tips on his English at first, talking about Dessa and asking for your brownie recipe – which you never gave him and would probably never do. Actually, by that time, you had been texting with Jungkook, Jimin and Jin. Jungkook was too excited about your friendship so he just shared your number with the guys, not without asking if he could beforehand. He was a cutie like that. And you were right, Jimin and you talked A LOT. Almost too much to be considered random chatting. You guys shared your life stories, he showed you songs that he liked and you did the same, you talked about games, comic books, movies, the weather and even their schedule and your Korean classes. He really did kind of became your best friend and he loved knowing that. Jin was kinda like your dad on whatsapp, he sent lots of emojis and jokes out of nowhere just to make you smile, sometimes asking if things were good with you.

One day, while on a brief recess between classes, you and Jimin were texting and Yoongi came up.

[09:35] Chim Chim: Did Yoongi text you yet?
[09:35] No.
[09:35] Chim Chim: Aish.. I don't get why he's so stubborn.
[09:36] Chim Chim: We've been talking to you and he knows this. He even asked us how you were and everything.
[09:36] Wait, what?
[09:37] Chim Chim: Yeah! It was right after Jungkook and I were talking about a shoot that we wanted to invite you and Dessa to.
[09:37] Chim Chim: Which we will as soon as the managers say it's ok btw.
[09:38] Chim Chim: He kind of just asked us how you were.
[09:39] You didn't think that was something you could have mentioned before Jiminie?
[09:39] Chim Chim: I'm sorry, I thought it would make you sad to know.

He was not wrong. You were pretty sad about it. You were friends with some of the guys, practically best friend with Jimin, and he had your number and had to ask if you were good through the others? That was ridiculous.

[09:41] Chim Chim: Are you mad at me for not telling you?
[09:41] Of course not. Don't worry about it.
[09:41] I have to go now, class is starting again. Talk later! <3

You tried to focus on the class but you couldn't. You copied everything, did the exercises you were supposed to, but all the while your head was thinking about Yoongi and how you couldn't understand him at all. You thought you could, you really did. You thought you guys had a connection, somehow, but apparently it was all in your head.

You and your friends had lunch together at the course, some of you had classes after lunch because you chose to have electives included on the schedule. Dessa didn't have classes and was going to go home right after lunch, as usual. She did say, making you giggle a little, that she was going to walk around a little before going home. You asked her to keep you in the loop, so you didn't get worried about her walking around Seoul alone, and she just smiled and agreed. You knew that she was going to meet Jungkook, you just couldn't figure out the logistics of it. You'd have to wait for her to tell you later.

Class was fun, like it usually was after lunch, and you got home after it just to find the dorm empty. You shot your friend a text asking her if she was ok, receiving a thumbs up emoji right after and laughing to yourself. She must have been having fun, you thought and went straight to the shower. She hated hot showers and you constantly had a small, and completely not serious, fight about it, but she wasn't there so you just made the whole bathroom feel like a sauna. You had your songs playing and you were feeling good and happy. You had promised to send Jimin a text when you got home but he would have to forgive you because the hot shower was just too good to pass up. But you did text him right after, still with the towel wrapped around your body.
