Chapter Seventeen: Wherever He Is

The whole idea kept you up, you looked at the sleeping boy and your heart raced. Everything just made sense now but you really didn't want to believe it. How could you love him after so long? Have you loved him all along?

You sat down on the ground besides him and watched as he rested.

You felt stupid for not realizing it earlier. You examined the way his fluffy brown hair fell over his eyes as he breathed in and out slowly. You let your fingers remove the strand of hair from his closed eyes. His pretty eyelashes stayed still and your heart softened at the sight of him.

He was truly beautiful.

But it was too late now, he was with Yuqi. It's a lost cause.

It was pretty late at night and you were hungry. You got up from the ground and walked outside of the room. You went downstairs and opened the fridge to get a glass of milk.

Your mom was sitting at the table drinking tea. You forgot that she did that.

"Not asleep yet, y/n?" She asked as she sipped out of her best mom mug.

"No, not yet. I'm sorry, I just... I can't stop thinking," You chuckled quietly as you poured yourself some milk.

"Talk to me. What's up?" Your mom patted the seat next to her. You picked up your glass of milk and sat beside her.

"Everything is so confusing, mom.. I truly thought I loved Taehyung. But, it was all just a fail. I lost all feelings I had for him, there's no part of me attracted to him anymore," You sighed.

"Do you know why?"

"Yeah.. I think I know now."

"So, you finally realized it?" Your mom asked with a smile.

"Realized what?"

"You love someone else, don't you?"

You stopped for a full second.

"How do you know?" You questioned as your heart nearly leaped out of your chest.

"Aw baby! It's so obvious, I'm your mom, of course I know. Are you going to tell him?"

"I don't know, mommy," You felt yourself begin to cry.

She pulled you to her and cuddled you as you cried softly.

"He loves you."

Your sniffles slowed down as you analyzed what she said.

"W-What?"

"I know that boy like the palm of my hand. Jungkook is in love with you, have you never thought of that?"

"N-No.."

"I thought I raised you to be smarter," Your mom shook her head jokingly.

"Why do you think that? Has he told you that?" You freaked out.

"No honey, it's the way he looks at you. No boy looks at his friend like that. I've never seen someone's eyes light up the way that his do when he's around you," She smiled and looked straight into your soul.

"Tell him," she whispered to you.

"Do I really love him though? I don't understand how I feel. I don't get it at all," you panicked as you realized that if you told him and everything didn't work out, your friendship would be ruined.

"Okay baby, how does he make you feel?"

"I- I don't know? I know I have a crush on him, that's obvious now. How do I know if its love?"

"Think more about it," She paused, "I'll ask again. How does he make you feel?"

You took a deep breath and thought about everything.

"Mommy, he drives me crazy. Everything he does- It's like... Wherever he is... It's where I want to be."

You and your mom looked at each other for a long moment.

"I think you know your answer."

You hugged your mom and sped off to your room.

She smiled to herself.

"Suck it, Harold."

You opened your door to find Jungkook sitting up rubbing his eyes.

"You're awake?" You asked him as your heart raced quickly and you sat in front of him.

"Mhm, I felt you leave and you were taking a bit, so I was starting to get worried a bit," he chuckled tiredly.

You stared at him for quite a bit of time, he was waking up as he noticed your intense glare.

Even when looking messy and sleepy, he thought you were the most gorgeous girl to walk on this Earth.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked as he felt himself get flustered.

"I need to talk to you."

"Talk?"

"Yes."

"What's up?" He was visibly confused and you wanted to face palm.

"Jungkook, you know you're my best friend right? The one person in my life, besides my parents, that I wouldn't ever want to lose. You know that right?"

His heart dropped to his stomach.

"Y-Yes?" He answered, confused.

"Whatever I tell you now is simply so I can get it out of my chest and in no way do you have to actually do anything because of it. Promise you'll be my friend even after I say what I say?" You asked as you felt yourself begin to shake. Jungkook noticed this and placed his hand on yours.

"I promise. What's going on?"

"I-" You tried to make yourself say the words that you wanted to say. The moonlight was shining upon the beautiful boy in front of you. This was hard to do.

"I love you, Jungkook," You said painfully after a few moments of silence.

Your chest felt heavy and you were extremely nervous.

"Well, I love you too? You're my best friend!" Jungkook chuckled as he wished you were going to tell him something more serious.

"No! Let me- Let me reword that."

You paused.

"I'm IN love with you, Jungkook"

The boy stared at you for the longest period of time. His heart was beating at an abnormal rate and he felt himself smile.

Without hesitation and without giving a single care about the world, Jungkook kissed you.
