t w e n t y - t w o

ever since after the body-switching side effect of the potion i drank, i would constantly feel this weirdly painful, stinging sensation on my chest. i can't tell when will it happen or just why would it happen so it caused me so much headache.

jungkook seemed normal to me. it seems as if i was the only one in pain here. he was back to his playful yet irritating self.

it's been almost four days since we switched bodies. every time i wake up from my slumber, i always check my surroundings and my body. the incident left me terrified of what may happen when i wake up so i was always in constant fear of having to put up with jungkook's friends, surroundings, and a few of his admirers.

as for taehyung, nothing's seem to change about him-specifically, his feelings for me. it pains me-just a little bit-whenever i think about the fact that taehyung's feelings for me never changed because of the potion, plus the fact that the side effect was a huge pain in the ass.

i don't know if manang bola knows about this already (surely she has, she's an old sorceress so she's a master in this field) but i hope she does. i don't know what step to do now. the potion didn't work. the worst part, i switched bodies with jungkook.

i don't even know if what happened between jungkook and i was permanent or temporary, or if we would still be switchinh bodies every now and then, or how long is the body-switch gonna last. at this point, i'm so lost and unsure of what to do.

clover seems to notice me fidgeting.
"eru, do you wanna take a shit or something? i've been looking at you and noticing you're quite nervous. something wrong?"

i exhaled.
should i tell my bestfriend what happened to me? she has the right to know about this but i feel like i need to solve this on my own. i can't even do anything about this mess, what more could clover do?

"uhm, no. i.. well.. i've been thinking about confessing to taehyung that i like him." i lied, covering up the real reason why i'm feeling nervous and unsure.

clover raised a brow.
"you sure? i never thought you're already thinking about confessing to him."

"y-yeah, well, it suddenly just crossed my mind for a while so i gave it a few thoughts. what do you say, though?" i asked.

"hmm, it's a no for me now. i've noticed you both aren't at the right state now. it will become a huge mess if you suddenly make a move without thinking about it."

it will become a huge mess if you suddenly make a move without thinking about it.

yeah, i'm in a huge mess right now and i don't know how to get out.

"right." i answered. clover looked at me like she wanted to say something but her phone suddenly rang and she quickly picked it up.

"hello honeybunch smoochiepie sweetypie darling baby love~" she beamed. i rolled my eyes at the long endearment i overheard her say. clover's so obviously madly in love with her boyfriend that i already vision her marrying him like, ten years from now or something.

while i, on the other hand is still chasing the first and only love of my life that is kim taehyung.

i must be the stupidest girl on earth.

"sorry, eru. i can't accompany you right now. my boyfriend called and asked me to eat lunch with him."

"oh, no. it's okay. maybe i'll ask taehyung to eat with me." exactly after saying it, my heart thumped a little quicker.

clover smiled mischievously.
"of course. i'll let you daydream about it being a date. bye!"

i heard loud laughter behind me and i assumed it was taehyung, jungkook and the rest of their friends.
"oh, eru!"

i whirled around and saw taehyung smiling at me. my heart picked up its pace yet again as tae walked towards me.
"rare seeing you without clover." he noticed.

"oh, yeah. she went to eat lunch with her boyfriend." i replied.

"oh, then let's eat together!" before i could even give a reply, taehyung had pulled me to stand up and wrapped my arm around his. all blood crept up my face and i felt it warming up quickly.

"tae-"

"mianhe, idiots," taehyung called, looking at his friends and to jungkook as well, "i'll be eating with eru!"

their faces fell.
"what? i thought you'll treat us the kitsune udon?"

taehyung pulled me a little more closer to him.
"maybe some other time!"

when i sat down in the chair in the cafeteria, taehyung volunteered to order for me. i quickly handed him the money for my food but he gave it back to me.
"it's on me, don't worry."

"let me at least pay you, you know."

"it's fine, eru. you're my bestfriend. you shouldn't be worrying about something like me paying for your lunch."

after a few minutes of waiting for tae, he finally came back, holding tray filled with two deep bowls of chao fan, two bottles of water, and two spoons.

my mouth immediately watered upon smelling the chao fan as taehyung placed it on the table. he sat down and we both got our spoon.
"actually, i wanna ask you about something, eru."

i was about to dig in on my meal but as soon as i heard those words slip from tae's lips, my world somehow stopped moving.
