It's Complicated [Jimin]

Chapter 8

(HyoJin's P.O.V)

Jimin and I rode the ferris wheel, after I spoke to him about me and Myungsoo's past relationship. We had been dating for four months, and I was so sure he was the one. He told me he was over being a player, that he didn't need to smoke or do drugs because I was the only drug he needed. How stupid was I, huh? I believed that. To cut a long story short, I walked in on him with some skank from school. There's no way to sugar coat it, that's just how it was. He apologized a million times telling me it was an accident etc, but from what I had heard from other people, it'd been going on for quite some time. And now, for him to show up with my 'old' best friend and act like nothing happened, I just.. Ugh, the nerve of that guy!  

"HyoJin, you okay?" Jimin asked beside me on the ferris wheel once we were stopped at the top.

"Oh, yeah. I'm fine." I put on my best fake smile. People usually fell for it. I was good at acting happy when I wasn't.

"You're not fine.. your smile isn't even real." he said, looking me in the eyes.

"How did you-"

"HyoJin, I've looked at you enough over the past week to be able to tell the difference between your real and fake smile. It's a little twinkle I see in your eyes.." he said with a small smile.

I feel lost in his eyes right now. I couldn't say anything, but I felt myself blush as a real smile found its way to my face.

"Like that." he said softly.

-

I lay back on my bed that night, staring at the ceiling with a smile across my face. I just had the best date, with the best guy, I should feel like the luckiest girl right now but for some reason, I feel weird. Girls at school would die to have the chance to go on a date with Jimin. I hugged the stuffed bear he had won me and closed my eyes, breathing in his cologne. He'd held it long enough prior to giving it to me, for his smell to sink in which I was thankful for.

I was sure I was starting to crush on Jimin, but I still had this thought in the back of my head. Kim Myungsoo. If only he hadn't been there, if only his face wasn't interrupting my remanicance of the time I had just spent with Jimin..

(Jimin's P.O.V) 

I looked down at the dog tag chain necklace hanging from around my neck. HyoJin had given it to me tonight, somehow she got it or won it, and it had 'free' engraved in it in English. It was actually really cool. For some reason, it feels like we're a couple - like how couples get each other stuff you know, it's kind of cute.

Suddenly a small hint of anger flashed across my mind, as I thought about that jerks smirk tonight. 'Kim Myungsoo.' The one who I had now found out, broke HyoJin's heart. I can't stand people like that, who cheat. If you're with someone, you're with them! Why cheat, when you could at least have the decency to break about with your partner first. I knew all about this. I've had it happen.

Honestly, I don't know what went wrong - I was loving, honest, kind and all the rest. But not good enough obviously. After that I felt like what's even the point of having a girlfriend for long? They'll just lie and cheat. So I turned into a player. One girl a week, maybe two within a week.. and then I dump them, and move on.

But with HyoJin, I feel different. I haven't made her my girlfriend yet and she's already been here a week. I could've asked her out, first day, then dumped her like today. But spending time with her tonight, I felt privelleged for some reason. Shouldn't she be the one feeling privelleged? Maybe she does feel it. But strangely enough.. I do too. I haven't felt like this about a girl ever since my first love, Gayoon.
