all throughout our way back, the warmth in my cheeks never seems to fade away. the thumps in my chest were getting louder with every minute passing by; i feel like i'm going deaf.

what's going on, matsuoka?

i couldn't fully fathom everything i was thinking all at the same time. my mind's foggy and so messed up, not even a single idea could pop up.

rob—who's actually not my driver but whom i can call to drive for me on rare occassions like these that i needed to go somehwere very far away—noticed i was fidgeting in my seat. he shot me a glance through the rearview mirror.
“hey, you okay there?”

i was caught offguard with his question and quickly answered in the manliest way possible.
“yeah.”

“by the way rob, please don't tell dad but you could drop us off at school again.” jungkook suddenly said that made me raise a brow.

“eru, it's already 7 in the evening. your father might get angry at you.” rob replied.

“i'll text him. there's a project i needed to finish with this guy here.”

project?

when i realized what jungkook meant, i suddenly felt dizzy and right then and there, i wanted to puke.

i think i'm going to explode because of jungkook.
“okay. be sure to text him. i don't want to be at the receiving end of his anger.”

“sure thing.”

after dropping us off at school, we both nodded at rob before he rolled the windows up and drove the car off.
“jungkook, whe—”

“we're riding the bus.” he said, cutting me off.

“HAH? where are we going?” i exclaimed.

“my place. i wanna end this whole soul-switching bullshit.”

all blood crept up my face as i heard jungkook's words.
“WHAT? WHAT'RE YOU GOING TO—” before i could finish my sentence, a bus pulled up and jungkook held my arm, pulling me away.

i couldn't understand why jungkook decided to ride the bus when his house was just thirty minutes away from school.
the whole time we rode on the bus, neither of us spoke a word to each other.

i admit i had so many questions running in my mind but i couldn't even ask one question to him. i assume he got nothing of importance to say so he remained silent.

when we got to his house, he opened the door and quietness greeted both of us.
“where's your mom and sister?” i ask, looking around.

“out.”

“where're we going, jungkook?”

“my room.”

that line was enough to make me dizzy that i started swaying for a bit before my legs could stand straight again. i held my temples, not uttering a word for a few seconds.
this time, i could hear nothing but my loud heartbeat, anticipating what's about to come.
