Jungkook

"So, she already rejects you without her knowing?" Tae hyung once again clarifies with me.

I just weakly nodded my head, since apparently, that's what really happened.

Jimin hyung then asks "What if, if it's you, then her mind will change?"

I snapped my head at him and thought for a moment, could that really be possible? They both shrugged their shoulders and Jimin hyung then says, "Who knows?"

"But also, maybe not." he adds.

I groaned out of frustration, how come this happened to me? Is this the punishment I get for being a jerk all these years?

"What about you quit the sullenness and just go out and drink?"

They both stand and tap my back, "Come on, cool your head." Tae hyung insists.

Without any other better things to do, I just slowly stand, pick my cap, wear my hoodie and follow them.

I let out a heavy sigh, well, I guess this is better than to think about her all day and all night long.

"Do-doesn't she..." I paused for a moment and stared blankly ahead, then snapped back to my senses, "See that I'm the one for hurrrrr...."

"Hey, Jungkook, you've drunk a lot, stop now." Tae hyung tried to grab the soju from my hand, but nooo, no way I'm giving him my dear friend for the night.

I scoff "I'm nooo--t dru--nk."

My head is totally spinning right now, but you know what's funny?

Park ing Chaeyoung is right here in front of me.

Wtf.

I stand and tried to grab her, but instead I met the... is this the floor?

"Jungkook!" I don't know whose voice is that, but he screamed my name... maybe he knows me...

Chaeyoung-ah, I'm different.

Yah, can't you ing open your eyes...

Just then I felt my face getting wet, what the hell, is it raining? Pouring directly down my face.

"Hey Jungkook, get yourself together, people might recognize us."

My phone then dropped off my pocket...

Chaeyoung

Dialling...

Rose

Ring... Ring... Ring...

I grab my pillow and covered my ears.

Who in the right mind will call this late?

But my phone just wouldn't stop ringing, that even if I don't want to, I still pick my phone up.

"He-llo?" I greeted groggily, I still can't bring my soul to come back to my body.

"Chaengieee..."

I furrowed my eyebrows, "Jungkook?" I asked.

"Chaengieee..." he repeats.

He sounds drunk?

I instantly sit up and focused to the person on the other line. "Hey, are you okay?"

"No... It hurts... A lot..."

Hurts? Oh God, "What hurts? Oh my God, are you okay? What happened?" I worriedly check on him.

"This."

This?

"Hey, I asked, what hurts?"

"Chaengie, what did you do to me?"

And here, my confusion just goes deeper, "Where are you? I'll go and pick you up. Tell me."

I immediately stand and fix myself.

"No! No! No! Don't!"

"Why? Really, what's going on?" I really can't help but be worried about him. What if he's out and at his current state, I don't think it's just fine to leave him.

"Ju-just listen to me."

"Okay then, I'm listening."

"I---" I then heard his sharp sigh from the other line.

I wait until he speaks again and he said something that made my heart go wild inside my chest---

"I like you."

For a second, I think I forgot to breathe.

What is he saying?

"A damn lot."

And there the other line went dead.

Oh gosh.

What did he say just now?

Oh my God.

I don't think I can sleep peacefully after this.

And yeah, I really wasn't able to sleep, at all, last night.

How can I? When his words linger to my ears.

I shake my head trying to keep the thoughts out of my mind. I really don't think he means it. That's just impossible. Really.

I think my action has been shouting hey-there's-something-that's-bothering-me cause Jennie unnie asked me if there's something wrong.

"Uh.. no. Nothing." I then chuckled.

Don't get me wrong huh, I trust my members. I just don't want to make this issue a big deal.

He's drunk and he must be saying nonsense.

Or not?

My mind's been flying elsewhere during our rehearsal for our last concert for this tour, which is of course, in Korea.

"You sure you're okay?" Jennie unnie once again questioned me, slightly squinting her eyes at me.

Okay. I can't take this anymore.

I swallowed hard before I ask, "Hmm... Can I just ask you guys some questions?" the three gathered around me.

"Yeah, sure. As long as it's not Math, then I can answer." Lisa questions.

"Okay, what if a person who's obviously drunk calls you... I mean, would you take his--- or it also can be her-- words seriously?" I fake a laugh then pursed my lips after my long ramble.

They all narrowed their eyes at me, suspicious of my query.

Jennie unnie then gave me an answer that made my heart crazy "Well, those are their real feelings. That's what I think."

Dug dug dug dug

Oh gosh! Oh gosh! Oh gosh!

Do-- does he, you know, like me? For real?

But to cut my insane thoughts, Jisoo unnie interrupts, "Or it also could be just they're really drunk? As in dead drunk."

Ohh, why does my heart doesn't want to believe her opinion this time?

Lisa then injects, "Oh, now, I remember. My friend from Thailand once drunk called me and he told me that Thailand will hail me as the next prime minister, since he heard it from his father who works in the government." she then bursts out laughing, "So, if that looks true to you then, I guess drunk calls should be taken seriously. But for me, no. I really think they're just extremely intoxicated and they just imagine things."

Aw.

Wait.

What aw?

"Or!" Jisoo unnie shouts, then adds "They could have dialled the wrong number. Like one time, my brother is so drunk and instead of calling my sister-in-law, her name is Yoona, he called our cousin named Yoonki. He told him, he loves him. Oh, God! That was hilarious!" she laughs so hard, tears almost falling out of her eyes.

I fake a laugh.

Hehehe, that actually makes sense. I mean, in the first place, he has Chungha--- oh gosh.

That call might be for her.

Aw.

Wait.

What aw again?

I'm absolutely okay with this.

I mean, Jungkook and I are just friends.

I almost jump when I heard the guys' loud voices, shouting words of support for our last rehearsal.

Okay, I really have to act normal. Please, Chaeyoung. Act normal.

He could have not remembered it a
