[CONTENTID1]Youhtful perks and drawbacks...[/CONTENTID1]

[CONTENTID2]

 

The guys had been telling me tips on how to move on, and then Jongin suggests I try to randomly date girls in which Minseok was fast when he immediately said he knew a girl he wanted to introduce to me.

 

The first time we met, she was already clingy. I didn't want to drag on the little date the guys had set-up for me.

 

Besides, I had to move on from you. So, I went on with it and waited until we had to go back home. To say the least, I was relieved the date was over.

 

The second time we met was a coincidence. Me and the guys were practicing at a dance studio we rented. It turns out she takes dance classes to and that she was on the studio room next to ours. She took my number and as common courtesy, I took hers. But I never dared contact her, because I was still hung up with you.

 

I even thought that if I nagged you too much every-day, you might notice me. But that happened to me instead.

 

She sent the first message. It wasn't even a simple hi. To be honest, she sounded so girly through her text; a long text telling me that she enjoyed hanging out with me and that we should do that more often. I did ignore her every time she pinged me, because I didn't like girls like her - the complete opposite of you.

 

You were boyish in a sense that you were also as graceful as a girl should be. You were innocent and naive that I can't help but hurt even more when I see those flustered expressions when he is with you. You never showed that to me. And it made me want to forget you with a person completely different from you.

 

So, I eventually replied to her. Thinking that maybe it wouldn't be too bad and it wasn't when I got to talk to her often. Those were the moments you caught me on my phone. And while I was beside you, a small part of me hoped you'd get jealous. But your irritation seemed so different from irritation caused by jealousy.

 

We met up occasionally. And the more she clung onto my arm, the more I realized this college noona wasn't so bad after all. I found myself warming up to her just a little bit despite her more than lively attitude.

 

She was clingy to the point that she contacts me every-day. By that time, she had confessed that she likes me. And, brought on by my slight feelings for you, I asked her out to be my girlfriend. She knew about you, but not my feelings for you. But, she didn't make you an exception from her list of girls who might steal me away from her.

 

When I don't answer her calls, she gets mad at me. But all the time, she forgives me as soon as I call her back. To that, I am amazed at and sometimes, because of that, I like her just a little.

 

I didn't want you to kiss him - or him to kiss you - that time. I wanted to walk away and just let you and him do things couples do. But I couldn't look away and I wouldn't want to witness those lips I've been wanting to kiss be kissed by someone else. I guess you never noticed my pinkie twitching when I told you my reason for pulling you away from him.

 

That night I kept thinking that maybe you've shared a kiss already, somewhere private and out of my sight. And this infuriated me to the point that I was determined to steal at least one kiss from noona.

 

It was in the movie theater did I do that. By that time, I was admittedly telling myself I really like her, but half my feelings for you lingered behind. However, I won't even lie when I say I've been leaning a little bit towards her, and I don't regret ever feeling something from her because for once again I feel happy the same way you made me feel before.

hotmama to injoory:
- go sleep over @ kookie's again. kkk. i won't be coming home tonight.

 

"I'm sure Junghwa has some spare clothes she can lend to you again. Do you need to get something from your house before we go to mine?"

 

Eunjoo raised a brow at Jungkook right after she replied with a 'don't enjoy this too much mom. see you tomorrow.'. "Were you reading my messages?"

 

He shrugged, removing one ear bud from the ear beside Eunjoo, "Your 'BBA SAE' ringtone was very attracting, I couldn't help it."

 

Eunjoo didn't understand how Jungkook suddenly became all smiles. But she liked the warmth and goosebumps his tiny bunny smiles gave to her.

 

"No, I have everything in my bag except the clothes, but maybe I can borrow from Junghwa again." Eunjoo adjusted the cuffs of the hoodie she was wearing, letting her hand get completely engulfed inside Jungkook's red sweater. She then proceeded to her habit of her braces before looking outside the window.

 

It had been a day since she got sick, and now she was feeling better especially with her very fast recovery. Having have shared to Jungkook every pain from Baekhyun she had kept inside, seemed to have lifted a bit of weight from her shoulders.

 

During the time she was down with the flu, she noticed how Jungkook stuck closer to her than before. This time, he was still holding her hand even though they were in the bus. And when they exited into their stop, he was still dragging her with their fingers intertwined. Eunjoo blamed the chilly weather as to why she couldn't seem to let go of his warm hands.

 

Mrs. Jeon welcomed her into the house, briefly staring at their connected hands and their flushed-definitely-from-the-cold faces. Jungh

Chapter 35: I don't really like Hana. She is too possessive, and annoyingly petty.

Chapter 43: This story is so nice but sometimes i feel that you have focused too heavily on Jungkook and Eunjoo and that the timelines were confusing. Still, this story is pretty cute and all fluff :-)
