deal [stray kids hyunjin]

chapter ten

it's around eight-something o'clock in the evening. jungkook and i are walking home together. we are walking to my home.

i begged mrs. jeon to take jungkook home. i didn't tell her the reason why i want him out, but my room is starting to smell like him and it doesn't even look like my room anymore. but, she told me that jungkook really enjoys spending the night in ours and that she and him catch up with each other during the morning.

that also translates to:
"no, jungkook is still going to sleep over your house."

jungkook can sleep over my house as much as he wants to. however, once he leaves, i wouldn't be able to sleep properly because i'd get used to sleeping beside him. then, once i get used to sleeping alone, he'd come back home and sleep over mine again.

it's a neverending cycle.

"you and that hyunjin guy." jungkook said, quickly glancing his way towards me before looking back on the road. "you two are in a relationship, huh?"

i just nodded and continued to walk forward without even looking at him or saying anything back. he might figure out that i'm lying about being in a relationship with hyunjin, so it's better to say and do nothing.

"just what did he see in you?"

i hit him on his arm and he just laughed. "what? you always wear your hair up. the only time i see your hair down is right after you shower. sometimes you don't even comb it!"

i hit his arm multiple times until my right arm, which is the arm that i'm using to hit him, grew tired. he didn't even budge, though. it was as if i wasn't hitting him hard enough. to be honest, i think i inflicted more pain to myself because hitting his arm hurt.

damn those biceps

he hissed, carresing his arm. "i keep forgetting you were once a volleyball player. you miss spiking the ball so much that you hit me or minho."

i didn't bother replying because i feel tired. also, i miss minho. he was busy with the guys after school, so he wasn't able to swing by thecaf and let me know what's up. it was silent for a while. though, once we reached the house, jungkook spoke up again.

"speaking of minho, where is he?"

"with hyunjin's friends."

"wow, you actually said something."

"i'm going to bed, kookie. goodnight."

right after i said that, i headed up to my room and plopped myself on the bed. i didn't bother changing or washing my face because, for some reason, i feel very exhausted. though, suddenly, my mom started to scream. i didn't mind checking what's wrong because jungkook's there.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN Y/N HAS A BOYFRIEND?!" i heard her yelling.

oh, for fuck's sake, jeon jungkook.
