"Y/N? where are you?" Yoongi had rung me 20 minutes after I got home, he probably realized I wasn't in the BANGTAN room like normal.

"Sorry Yoongi, I went straight home after school today"

"Oh okay... is everything alright?" he sounded worried.

"No, I'm okay, don't worry, just a little tired. I'll see you at home okay?"

"yeah okay, see you later"

>Call ended 6:43<

...

The boys came home dead on 8:00, they spotted me sitting by the dining table and instantly came barreling over with a mountain of questions.

"Why did you come home?" Tae asked as he ran up behind me and rested his head on my shoulder.

"Is everything okay Y/N?" Jin asked while kneeling down beside me.

"Yeah everything's fine" By now I had come up with an excuse "It was just that a few students were walking near me and I didn't want them to see me enter BIGHIT, because they might start to spread rumors. I just wanted to be safe and not draw attention to myself" It wasn't a complete lie, actually it was rather true, I just didn't want them to know about those girls.

"What kind of rumors?" Yoongi questioned.

"Just... they already know I am friends with Jungkook and if they saw me entering the place where he works, people would blow things out of proportion... I'll be more careful next time I promise, can we just forget about it..." I hated talking about this, it was embarrassing to bring up the idea that there's more than just friendship between us. I mean it was impossible, plus I don't deserve someone like Jungkook, or any of them for that matter, so I would avoid thinking about it.

"Fine... come on, let's make dinner" Jin offered me his hand, I hesitated, maybe I was a little too close with them all...

...

It was another day of school, but today was special as Jungkook was coming with me again! I finally had someone to talk to at lunch. All eyes were on him as we entered the school gates, now that BTS were confirmed to be debuting, many people knew about him, though he was still a rookie.

I tried to ignore the glares from other students for most of the day, blinding my sight to only see Jungkook. We had a lot of fun today; we were both glad to be spending quality time alone together.

"Finally, the other boys aren't around, they've made you forget who your number one friend is" he held his hand to his nose in irritation before smiling up at me from his seat.

"oh, I haven't forgotten, Taehyung is the best- "

"Wait! No!"

"-Friend ever!" he grabbed my arms as I laughed at him and he chuckled back.

"I'M your best friend... okay?" It was like he was speaking to a five-year-old, making me laugh harder.

"Okay Jungkook-ie, whatever you say" Cue Mr. grumpy...

"I'M NOT JUNGKOOK-IE!"

...

The day passed and I was sad that it was finally ending, but then I remembered I lived with them, so I was happy again!

I told Jungkook I would meet him by the gates, as I went to go change out of my uniform and into my disguise, so we could go to BIGHIT. I was just exiting the bathroom stall when I saw them, the group of girls that despised me were entering the bathroom. By the look on their faces this wasn't a coincidence, they were here for me.
