When Jimin walks into Econ on Monday, he sees something on his desk. He walks over and sees that it's the ticket, ripped in half, the halves held together by a pride pin. He picks it up. "The fuck?"

He walks over to Jungkook's desk. "Why did you rip this? You can't get in with a torn up ticket."

Jungkook ignores him and continues looking through Instagram. Jimin huffs. "Jungkook, why did you–"

"Fuck off." He puts his other headphone in but Jimin rips it out.

"Why are you acting like this? If something happened, you can talk to me about it."

Jungkook fights the urge to cry. "Why would I tell you if I was going through something?"

Jimin frowns. "Because we're friends–"

"No we fucking aren't. I told you to fuck off, so fuck off."

"But–"

"Oh my God, stop being so fucking annoying. Not everyone wants to be friends with you."

Jimin looks down at the floor. "... But you said you changed your mind–"

"Yeah, and then I realized I was being fucking delusional. I can't stand you, so fuck off."

"Why–"

"Go away. You're a two-faced bitch and I don't know why anyone would want to be friends with you."

"Just tell me why–"

Jungkook grabs his backpack and stands up, walking out of the classroom. Jimin watches him go, feet glued to the floor. He puts the ruined ticket in his pocket and walks back to his seat.

Jimin messes up his monologue for the 4th time and Hoseok sighs. "Take a break. You're off your game today."

"Jungkook won't talk to me... He called me annoying and two-faced but won't tell me why. I'm really really confused."

Hoseok chews on the inside of his cheek. "Jimin... You need to know something..."

Jungkook is playing Rainbow Six when his phone starts ringing. He lets it ring through. Whoever it was calls again, so he picks his phone up.

He pauses his game. It's Jimin.

Incoming Call from Jimin...
Accept | Decline

"Oh my God, Jungkook I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were there. I-It's just that–"

"It's just that you still think I'm a freak and you talked about me behind my back? Yeah, I know."

"No, that's not true at all! I don't think you're weird or creepy or... dangerous or anything else that I said!"

"You're bad at lying."

"I'm not lying. I'm being serious! It was just my friend and... I didn't want her to think–"

"You didn't want her to think that you were friends with the 'weird' kid. Don't worry. We aren't friends anymore so that's not an issue."

"Can you just listen to me? I'm trying to explain myself. She's one of my best friends. I-I lied about thinking you were weird because I didn't want to start any drama between us."

"So you'd rather hurt my feelings than just casually tell your friend that I'm normal? Even if that was true and you weren't lying, it would still be fucked up. If you're friends with someone who would stop liking you because you defended someone, then maybe you shouldn't be friends with them. Who was it?"

"One of the theater kids."

"Which one?"

"... Julia."

Jungkook chuckles incredulously. "You suck. You're literally horrible."

"It's complicated! I've been her friend since freshman year!"

"You were probably pretending to be my friend just so you could help Julia pull another prank on me..." He chokes up and his voice breaks on the last syllable.

"Jungkook, that's not true at all. I genuinely was your friend."

"Friends don't talk about each other behind their back."

"I know. I'm sorry. It was stupid."

"I don't care if you're sorry. You're fucking trash, Jimin. You aren't even that good of an actor either, so stop acting like you're the king of the world. Newsflash, the things you say can hurt other people. You aren't the only person who matters."

"... Jungkook, I'm really sorry. Nothing that I said was true."

"Even if you were sorry, it wouldn't matter. You're untrustworthy."

He hears that Jimin starts crying. "I know..."

"Stop fake crying."

"I'm not fake crying. I feel like shit."

"I wish that was true. I already caught you. You don't need to act like you care about me."

"But I do care."

"You're wasting my time."

call ended.
