falling for u {hyunjin ff} (watty's nominee!)

9

all of them looked stunned,shocked,
surprised, or whatever emotion is going through them right now.

"she's your what? say that again?" jisung gasped. "my girlfriend." hyunjin smiles, letting go of my hand and resting his arm on my shoulder.
i smile awkwardly, knowing it's not completely true. but hey, if i wanna keep my cover might as well play the part.

aside from that, a part from me wants to apologize to them even though it's not my fault. but a part of me alsk hesitates because they ignored me instead of giving me a chance to explain. and that people, is a mix of guilt and hesitation.

"look," i began.

"-i know you guys ignored me because of that post. and i wanted to say sorry,
to all of you. i never meant to use you guys for attention. that was never my motive at all. and i hope you can forgive me."

the boys exchange looks, deciding on who should speak up to accept my apology or just continue to be upset at me.

"we know you didn't do it, kyung. the reason we ignored you was because we were dealing with something, or just forgot you were in the same room with us like that one time with me and jisung." chan explains.

Flashback (chan's pov)

me and jisung entered the class. we both had earphones on, blasting with music. we couldn't really hear what was around us. we were also glued to our phones so we just headed to our seats, clueless of our surroundings.

i heard someone say something, i was pretty sure jisung did too. but it was muffled. just to make sure it wasn't something important, jisung spoke up and said "y'all hear something?"

we saw the students shake their head, so we went back doing our stuff

_________

"oh." i said.

"anyways, apology accepted." felix smiles.

"hey enough about that. when did you guys started dating?" minho asks. me and hyunjin look at each other, panicking mentally.

"well we-"
"the thing is-"
"ok so it started like-"

were our answers. minho and the others look unfazed by our nervous remarks. "oh hey would you look at that, i promised to meet hana at this time so gotta go bye!" i said before dashing out of the awkward situation.

i sigh of relief and decided to look for hana.

i was outside the school, taking a walk. the cold breeze in my face felt so nice, autumn leaves were falling too. it's that time of the year. fall.

"kyung!" someone screams from behind. i turn around and i saw jungkook running towards me, with an envelope on his hand.

"my birthday is later this evening, will you come?" he says, handing me the envelope. "you could've told me it was your birthday, that way i could've buyed you a gift in a advance. " i pout.

"coming there will be my birthday gift." he pats my shoulder and walks away. heat rushes to my cheeks, and i pan my face to make it go away. "dang, why does this man have to be so charming." i mumble.

"kyyuuunggg!" hana runs to me. "did you get invited to the party? did ya? did ya?" she squeals, not even trying to hide her excitement. "i sure did. how about you?" i smile. "duh, this girl is stylish enough to get invited to a handsome boys' party! but, i will make sure you are pretty enough too."

"hana, you know i hate going to these things." i groan. "this is jeon jungkook you're talking about. you have to atleast be there."

"fine. i will pick my OWN clothes though." i speculated . "oh baby no, with that style of yours, people will doubt that you're even invited."

-and the next thing i knew, i was in the car with hana, in a red dress with curled hair. "does this really have to be necessary?" i sigh, looking out the window.

i mean, i love hana but this is out of my comfort zone. she looks up to the head mirror of the car and says "of course, you gotta dress to impress and i've gotta admit, you already impressed me." she chuckles.

we soon arrived at the venue and it was a literal MANSION. "i never knew jungkook was rich," hana began. "but with his impeccable taste in fashion and with a charming personality- it makes sense"

i looked around in awe, admiring the modern design of the abode. then there were people drinking some punch, dancing or just mingling. it's like he invited the whole school. minus the teachers though.

"you came!" i heard jungkook approaching us, with tons of presents in his hands. "of course we did silly. nice residence you got here." hana compliments. he shrugs and fixates his gaze on me. "thanks for coming. you must be hungry. help yourself!"

i nod and say a quick 'thank you' as i hurriedly went to the food table. what can i say? this girl is a sucker for savory foods. i looked around- drooling at the food infront of me. i get a plate and got some fries, chicken, spaghetti and- who am i kidding? i almost took every single food option there was.

me and hana went upstairs which was much quieter. i took a seat, and she does the same.

suddenly, yeri came up to us with a smile. "hey, you wanna join us later?" she asks. me and hana exchange looks as to why she's suddenly being nice. "what's it about?" hana questions.
"we're playing 7 minutes in heaven. you know, you get blindfolded and shoved in a closet with some guy."

hana looks at me, knowing i was claustrophobic. "no thanks, yeri. we'll pass." she says. "aww come on! hyunjin and jungkook and the others will be there!" yeri insists. i sigh and look at her. "ok, we'll do it." as soon as i agree, yeri's face lights up with joy while hana's face showed a 'this-is-not-a-good-idea' face.

"great! how about you go first." yeri points her index finger to me, and i nod slowly, unsure about what's about to happen. she wraps the blindfold to my face and shoves me in a closet. i can already feel nauseous from the tight space. the closet door opens and a voice speaks up. "hello?"
he says. "hi.." i said nervously. "...is that you kyung?"

that voice...it kinda seems..familiar. "yeah." i simply reply. i start to get abit dizzy, feeling a knot in my stomach. "it's me, hyunjin."

"look kyung i have something to tell you," he began. "i..like you."

what? he likes me? is this a symptom of claustrophobia or something because i for sure know that that's not true. "what do you..." i got cut off with my stomach pain worsening, and i started to get more and more dizzy.
"i can't do this i'm so-"

and just like that, i puked. while blindfolded. infront of hyunjin. the closet door opens revealing two girls restraining hana, a few people recording, and the others were laughing. i look to my left to see that that boy wasn't hyunjin. it was a random boy that i barely knew, pretending to act like him.

feeling embarrassed and humiliated, i stood up and ran away. i mean, who wouldn't? i was so dumb to know that there were alot of red flags of this so-called-prank. first, yeri coming up to me and being all nice- second, 'hyunjin' told me he LIKES me, and third, them insisting that i go first even though they knew i had claustrophobia.

all those things, i didn't even TRY to understand what was going on, and i was too dumb enough to see it.

i arrived at my dorm, not caring if hyunjin saw me rushing to the toilet,
and there i puked again. like alot.

i struggled to stand up, still wobbly from all the running and puking- plus the headache. and i felt that weird feeling again.

i kept puking and vomiting, till' i was done. i managed to stand by myself and tried to walk to the kitchen.

"hyunjin, do you know where i can-"
