My lips went dry as the latter only scoffed in return, organizing the bottles in the fridge while at it. His back was facing me, ignoring me and I pursed my lips into a thin line, waiting for him to break the silence but Jungkook never did. 

Sighing, I locked my hands behind my back and tilted my head to the right a bit while staring at his stiffened figure, tears slowly b. My eyes stinging from crying early on at home.

Will our friendship end just like this? 

"Are you freaking kidding me, Kim Saera ?" Jungkook asked so suddenly, his voice booming loud and clear in the convenience store, his eyes that were glaring seemed to be sending daggers at my small figure as I shivered unintentionally. Slamming the door of the fridge, I jumped in place, surprised by the sound of it and the dark haired male finally turned around to look at me properly. I flinched from the look of his gaze and let out an accidental whine of pain, feeling guilty when I noticed the tears in his eyes, "I'm so sorry, Jungkook, "

I pleaded and he scoffed again. With shaky legs, I stumbled forward, my hands reaching for his and he brushed me off as if I was just air,  walking away from me. My eyes sting and my heart broke into two, feeling empty from the treatment that I was receiving from him. Jungkook immediately went towards the snack's section with the box that he got from behind the counter, stuffing the snacks into the shelves, angrily as he did it. Taking another deep breath, I quietly trailed behind him and stopped before I got too much near to him. Worrying my lower lip, I stared at him for a moment, in awe of how beautiful he really was and I looked away when Jungkook glanced at my way. Clearing my throat nervously, I attempted my luck again.

"Please, Jungkook. Don't do this to me, "

I tried to coax him but it was just empty words for him as he ignored me, singing to a random song. I sighed again, my heart feeling heavier than ever. Slowly nearing him, my hand reached for the hem of his shirt, wanting to tug at it but before I could, Jungkook had already walked pass me. I closed my eyes in anguish, into thin air and I turned around, feeling defeated. My eyes searched for him the second time today and my gaze finally landed on Jungkook, who was taking another box from behind the counter and went to the magazine's section now instead. Blowing a raspberry, I walked towards there as well while, contemplating on doing something very risky.

Glancing at his stressed figure and with a nibble on my lower lip, I just let what my heart wanted to do as I shuffled towards him and crashed into his back, my limbs winding around his waist and locking him in an embrace. Jungkook stiffened even more while my body in return,  relaxed and my eyes bursted into tears again, soaking his shirt. I could just feel him softening against me when, he noticed how I was sobbing into his back. One of his hands settled itself onto the back of my right hand, his thumb brushing against the skin of my hand in attempt to comfort me and it worked perfectly.

"Gor-"

"Please don't do this, Jeon Jungkook," I cutted him off before, he could say anything further.  My voice muffled and tears trailed down, dropping onto his shirt, wetting it. 

I was afraid.

Afraid if he would open his mouth and asked me to leave him alone, afraid if he didn't want anything linked to me.

I was just afraid of losing him.

"I don't want to lose you at all. I really love you. Well, for the moment as a friend but I'm willing to give you a chance to be someone important in my life. I really hate the idea of you not being in my future.. "

I babbled by myself, hoping Jungkook would understand me and my knuckles went white from holding onto him too much as my breath went harsher. Tears falling even more and the brushing of his thumb on my hand was softer than ever before. I could feel myself relax and without myself noticed, I nuzzled my nose into his back, searching for his warmth. My eyelids slowly falling, feeling comfortable and sleepy and I sighed from relief out of nowhere. My heart falling into the same rhythm at the heartbeat that I was hearing. His heartbeat almost sounded like a lullaby.

"I really don't want to lose you,oppa, " I accidentally blurted out loud. My eyes widened in shock as I unlocked my limbs from his waist, putting my hand to cover my mouth in embarrassment while Jungkook turned around at me, his cheeks flushed. A smirk settled on his face.

"I can't believe you just called me, oppa, "

Jungkook snorted a bit as his laugh, his smile brigther than ever and I couldn't help but smile in relief. He was back to his usual self. My heart doing little somersaults with him still laughing and I couldn't help but let a small thought resurfaced that I had kept buried for awhile now. I unknowingly tilted my head at that little thought.

Was I slowly falling for him? 

***

I awkwardly flashed Jungkook a square smile that almost resembled Taehyung's ones whenever, the both of us were struggling to talk about our own problems. Jungkook just raised an eyebrow in question, his arms folded against his chest. The wind softly carressing our skin and I silently enjoyed it, wishing every day was like this in summer.

"You don't want to tell me?"

He quizzed me when noticing how stiff my figure was. I slowly nibbled on my lower lip and locked my hands together, breathing in air to prepare myself. I opened my mouth but nothing came out of it except for, a gust of used air and I closed my mouth back. Jungkook raised an eyebrow again in curiosity and tapped his right foot a tad bit louder, an evident sign he was getting impatient by the second. 

Blowing a raspberry, I finally brought out the paper that I kept inside my bag which I brought by with me. Not believing myself to tell him the story yet.

"Here you go, " I popped the words slowly while handing out the set of papers to him. He carefully took it in his hands, examining the set of papers.

"Evidence ? " Jungkook slowly tested the word that I had lazily written as the header and he went through the pages, eyes scanning every inch of the words as if laser beams were coming out of it. 

I waited in silence as he read through the pages and I watched his face contorted into various expressions. 

Anger, ashamed, disgust but it was mostly anger.

I could see all of it and I couldn't help but close my eyes, hoping that it was only a nightmare but I was wrong.

This was reality. 

Nothing changed. 

Kim Yeonghwan was still texting me. 

Bile was raising in my throat and I almost wanted to barf out my guts, feeling anxious all of the sudden as I slowly take small deep breaths, garnering attention from Jungkook, who brought a hand over my own hand, brushing his thumb ever so slowly over the back of my hand like before, sending small waves of calmness through my body and I relaxed a bit. I squinted my eyes at him and he flashed a small smile. I smiled back in return.

"I'm sorry this happened to you, gorgeous," His tone worried but I grinned when I noticed, he used the term of endearment that he had for me. I shook my head softly, feeling embarrassed by my own thoughts and showed a tight smile, "It's okay..."

"I just don't have any ideas on how to solve this already,"

Jungkook cursed under his breath and I glared at him. In return, he just showed a bunny grin that made my heart skipped a beat and brought my right hand to his lips, kissing it. He made me blushed and I looked away for the moment, combing my bangs away.

"It's okay, we'll figure it out,"

We ?

I bit back a grin and collected the set of papers back from Jungkook, keeping it back into my bag, feeling shy from getting his attention back. Jungkook chuckled cutely with his eyes closed, noticing my flushed cheeks. After he stopped laughing, he leaned nearer to me, his hands holding my hands, our fingers intertwined and Jungkook cutely tilted his head to the side, making me speechless for a moment.

"I'm the first person to know this, right ?"

I slowly closed and opened my eyes, hoping I was calm enough but instead, I was squeaking out an answer for him. "Yeah," Jungkook laughed and kissed my hand again, my cheeks redder than ever.

"I'm glad that you're doing this, gorgeous,"

He murmured, his thumb brushing the back of my right hand, making me lose focus for a moment about what he was talking about but, Jungkook was very good at grabbing my attention. "Now, moving on from the topic. How about you officially use oppa for me ?" He asked and gave him an unsure answer.

"Sure ?"

Jungkook rolled his eyes and move on from the topic by clapping his hands together, "Now that's finish, how about you talk about that freaking bas-" I glared him before he could even finish his sentence. He childishly whined and give in to me. The male in front of me sighed as he continued with his words, making me playfully smile at him. "Fine, dude! I call him dude! What's he like ?"

I cleared my throat before starting on my story, "Yeonghwan was really a nice guy that I met at summer camp. People used to avoid him because he had braces and all so, being the person I am... I went to make friends with him but, the guy thought I was friends with him because I like him and ever since then, he kept stalking and texting me. A few years back, he suddenly stopped texting me and I thought that was the end but then, he suddenly messaged me the other day," I let out a loud sigh, feeling burden at the thought of Kim Yeonghwan and closed my eyes momentarily. Jungkook pursed his lips and propped his face over his arms, looking at me worriedly.

"First day of summer ?" I slowly nodded and Jungkook immediately frowned. He straightened his body and stretched his hands out to play with my fingers, putting my heart at ease.

"I can't believe this guy but ... I was wondering about something," 

"What is it ?"

"So, about that Kim Yeonghwan. Between me and him, whose more charming and handsome ?" I gawked at his childish question and Jungkook only looked at me, being shameless. Still waiting for my answer and I faked a laugh before asking him a question instead.

"Do I really have to answer that ?"

Jungkook shrugged his shoulders and played with my fingers even more, "Of course, you have. It's for personal experiment," He mumbled under his breath, not meeting eyes with me and I couldn't help but let out a girlish giggle, making him smile.

"Really ?" I asked curiously and Jungkook nodded his head as fast as he could like a pup would.

"Well, if you have to. I'm thinking you would be the better option,"

He smiled proudly and kissed my hand again, my heart doing somersaults, "I guess my experiment is a success then,"

"I think so now, how about we go visit Yoongi and the others. I promised them that I'll bring you with me," I said while standing up, he frowned and stood up anyways, trailing behind me.

"Way to go to make my mood sour again," He remarked and I rolled my eyes before stopping in my tracks, turning around to kiss him on the right cheek since his face was looking at the ground. Jungkook's shoulders that were initially slumped, raised in glee.

"Better ?"

Jungkook playfully pursed his lips and pointed a finger at his right eye, the one that Taehyung punched, "How about another one on the bruise," I just gave in with a grin on my face and pecked him there. His smile brighter than ever.

"Much better," Jungkook sing-song and locked our arms together.

I think I am slowly liking him back ...
