Nothing Like Us

Try

"You know that I have feelings for Taehyung oppa, right?" I said to him as I looked at him straight in his eyes.

Jungkook is a really big help to me. He's always present whenever I needed someone and when I need comfort, he gave me. 

"I know but I am willing to take the risk." He said smiled at me.

He is worth the shot, right? Or am I will just be unfair to him?

*KNOCK* *KNOCK* KNOCK*

Someone knocked that's why both our attention went there and when the door opened I saw my brother.

"Oh Jungkook, what are you doing here?" He asked and went in.

"I just walked her here, I better go to my room now. Good night Sooyoung-ah and Jimin." He said as he kissed me on the forehead and left my room.

After Jungkook left, Jimin oppa is giving me questionable looks. 

"What was that? Are you guys together?" He asked in half-serious and half-jokingly. 

I didn't answer yet so he walked towards me and sit on the bed and so I did the same.

"We are not but he just confessed his feelings," I said and looked down.

"Then what did you say?" He asked.

"I said the truth, that I like Taehyung oppa but he said he is willing to take the risk," I said and looked at him.

He sighs as I think, he is worried about me.

"You don't need to worry, oppa. But I have something to ask." I said and so he looked at me again.

"What is it?" He replied.

"I want to give Jungkook a chance. He is with me every time I needed someone and I want to return all his love." I said.

"Where's the question there?" He asked.

"Wouldn't be unfair for him? Like, I want to try but I cannot assure him nor even myself." I said. 

"It would be unfair if he does not know the situation that he is in. But as you said, he said that he is willing to take the risk, right? then there's no problem." He said.

Well, he is has a point. I sigh.

"I am well aware of what is happening, Sooyoung-ah. You care for Jungkook, I know. Why don't you try things out and forget my fucking bastard friend." He said and gritted his teeth.

"I'll think of it and oppa, I already told you! Don't let the matters between Taehyung oppa and I destroy your friendship," I said and slap his shoulders.

"Ouch! You are my sister Sooyoung-ah. It couldn't be helped." He said.

"Oh oppa! One more thing." I said as I suddenly remember something.

"What?" He asked.

"What's with you and Seulgi eonnie? Do you like her?" I asked. 

He did not speak but I still waited. 

"I am interested in her. She's unique among all the girls that I've met." He said.

And those words made me smile. I know Seulgi eonnie is a good person and he will not hurt my brother that's why I like her for him.

"I approve of her as my sister-in-law," I said and giggled.

And with that, I suddenly remember that we are all in soon to be arranged marriage. I think oppa remembered it as his smile turned into a frown.

"But, what if she's not my bride and Jungkook is not your groom?" He asked.

I am not approved of this set-up since the beginning so I don't mind fighting for the one I love.

"So what? We can just make them your bride and my groom. They are still from well-respected family so I think dad will not interfere." I said.

"You have a point." He said and shrugged.

"Are EXO oppadeuls are now in the guest room?" I asked.

"Yup." He said.

"Oppa, what do you think of them? This will be the first time that you'll have business with them, right?" I asked curiously. 

As people at school would always say that EXO and oppa's group will never sit at one table. 

"Yup, it is but I actually like them especially Baekhyung hyung, he is so funny. We should start to eat at school together." He suggested happily.

"But what about Joohyun eonnie and Taehyung oppa? They eat with us. They might feel uncomfortable." I said.

"They work with some of EXO members too and Joohyun is friends with Jennie who is Jongin's girlfriend so I don't think they will mind and they might start to eat with their team as the fashion show is getting near." He said 

I nodded as a response.

"I must go as well, good night Sooyoungie~" He said and hugged me real tight.

"Good night, oppa." I said and smiled at him.

SEULGI'S POV

Jimin and I have gotten close and I really love what we have now since it's been a long time since I had a male friend to talk to but don't get me wrong, Sooyoung is also a big help for me.

I was about to go to my class when my dad called me.

PHONE CONVERSATION:

M: Hello?

D: Where are you?

M: I'm at school, dad. 

D: Okay, so I heard you are going out with Park Jimin?

M: He is just my friend.

D: Just keep on befriending him.

M: Huh?

D: You're doing good, Seulgi.

M: Thanks, dad.

Call Ended

What is the meaning of that? But it made me happy since I got a compliment from my father. He rarely compliments me since most of the time, he'll point out my mistakes excessively.

I shrugged it off since I am already in the good mood.

"Seulgi!" I heard someone called me so I searched for it and I saw it is Mina. 

"Mina." I replied.

"How are you doing?" She asked mockingly.

"We are not in that kind of terms. What do you want?" I asked directly because if I'll get late. due to her, it will be just a waste of demerit points.

"So you are tough now since you got the Parks behind you? It's a nice move I must say, you have Sooyoung and Jimin to protect you but they are not here." She said and laugh.

"I'll repeat it again, what do you want?" I asked and I felt mad for a little bit as she was belittling my friendship with them. 

But she suddenly slapped me that made the people around us look.

"That's what I want but not only that I also want this!" She said and tried to tear off my clothes in front of everybody. 

I'm trying to stop her but I felt so defenseless as of the moment,
