[6:39 pm] Ahreum

Hey.

[6:50 pm] Jeon Jungkook

Oh. Ahreum.

Hey.

[6:52 pm] Ahreum

I heard what happened.

[6:53 pm] Jeon Jungkook

That…

[6:53 pm] Ahreum

You alright? If u wanna talk, I’m here.

[6:54 pm] Jeon Jungkook

I screwed up.

Big time.

I ing hate myself.

[6:55 pm] Ahreum

Well, kind off. But hey, it’s gonna be alright.

Trust me.

‘Trust me’. That was ironically amusing for me to say those words after placing a huge amount of trust on Seulgi. But I wasn’t going to rub that onto his face. He was practically wallowing in his own pool of sadness right now. I wasn’t planning to make it worse than he’s already feeling.

[6:56 pm] Ahreum

Sorry, I shldn't rub it in your face. 

You had a hard time, huh?

[6:58 pm] Jeon Jungkook

Nah, u shld. I was a fool.

I didn't believe u when ur my bestest friend.

[6:56 pm] Ahreum

It's alright.

Let bygones be bygones right?

I tried my best to cheer him up despite the depressing situation he's in. Yoojung meant the world for him. He truly loves her but circumstances aren't helping his situation. Deep down, I felt bad for him because everyone in school knows how much he chreishes Yoojung - even the teachers knew of this. He put in so much effort to win Yoojung back but now there's another setback - in fact, a huge step back. He was basically back to square one, everything he did was futile. But I knew very well to not put the blame solely on him. Seulgi is a known snake, she must have caused all these to happen and this has indirectly affected Jungkook. Sometimes Jungkook is just too naive to sense his surrounding and his density proved to have been fatal this time around. 

[6:00 pm] Jeon Jungkook

You're too nice Ahreum. You put up with my when no one else does.

I'm ed up now anyways.

I could imagine him bitterly laughing at his own reply.
