"Chemistry exam next week, homework due tomorrow, and try not to explode anything in lab" the professor looks directly at you with his last comment, recalling last semester when you mixed the strongest acid in the lab with the strongest base you could find. Namjoon gives you a friendly goodbye, making the black shell that has surrounded your heart crack. You smile at finally feeling like your ambitious self again; your walk even has an extra bounce to it like it used to. Jin laughs at your goofiness while you skip out the door, following Namjoon. Jimin rolls his eyes which makes you slump a little more.

"Jiminie!"

"Don't call me that, we're not friends" He mumbles, striding past you, but you don't give up.

"Don't run off so quickly! I told you I would talk to you yesterday. How about I buy you some coffee after class" You give him your cutest hopeful smile.

He sighs and cracks a smile himself "Only if you buy me dessert a well"

"Deal!" You spit in your hand and reach out to shake his, but he gives you a disgusted look before walking away.

"That went well" Jin gives you a high-pitched laugh and crinkles his nose as you wipe the spit onto your jeans. "You're disgusting"

"Nothing wrong with a good old-fashioned spit handshake" you shrug and try to pat his cheek with your hand, but he runs away quickly

"Why do I always have to be on guard with you and JK" hearing the name makes you frown and Jin pats you on the back "I'm sure you two will make up, whether it's as friends or not. I can talk to him if you'd like?"

"I don't want to bring you into this mess, can you just be there for him though? I've been lucky with Yoongles and Hoe boi, but I don't think he has anyone." He nods and strides awkwardly away, trying to get to his class before he's late. "Well, at least I got one friend back." You run through your schedule of classes in your head, you still had computer science, linear algebra, and quantum physics, but those weren't until later in the day. One hour of break which meant one hour of rebuilding your next friendship.

Me

Jackson, let's talk right now

Ex (Don't contact)

I'm in class, have you decided on what we talked about? I'll forgive the Jungkook thing if you'll take me back

Me

Yeah I did, we'll talk about it in person

Ex (Don't contact)

Don't bother if you don't want me back


You gulp and scowl at your phone, pressing the keyboard aggressively. How dare he only want to talk to you if you were in a relationship with him? Weren't there such thing as friendly exes?


Me

Fine.

I'll reject you over text.

You cheated on me, because you were insecure.

You made me hate myself.

Even after you did something terrible,

I still did everything for you,

So you wouldn't be seen badly by your friends.

And you still didn't apologize to me.

Now you're treating Chaeyoung badly by dumping her for me.

You realized too late how great I was,
