- Yerin’s POV -

I pulled away from Jungkook and glared at Daeun, whose eyes had started to water. 

“Believe me now?” I raised my eyebrow at her. 

She bit her bottom lip, trying to hold back her tears. She simply nodded and walked away, her arms folded across her chest. I could’ve sworn I saw a tear roll down her cheek, but I didn’t pity her at all. She must have really loved him.

“What was that?” Jungkook said. I forgot he was still standing there until he said something.

“Well, you see, I-“

“If you liked me you could’ve just said so. No wonder you’ve been low-key flirting with me.” He smirked. Aish! I knew this would happen.

“NOOOOO! N to the O. I do not like you! Like at all! Not even the slightest bit!” I clarified. 

“Ouch.” He pretended to act hurt. 

“You see, Daeun didn’t believe we were actually, you know, ‘dating’, so I had to do something to make it seem believable. Just doing my job,” I explained. 

“Excuses. Excuses. Say what you want, babe, but I know you enjoyed that kiss.” He winked at me and bit his bottom lip. I felt my face slowly turn red. Luckily, the room was dim so it wasn’t as visible.

“N-no!” I stammered. I found it getting harder to speak. ”Pft! I’ve had better kisses. And, for the millionth time, do not call me babe!” I was getting frustrated from having to tell him over and over again.

“Yo Jungkook! You’ve got to come and see this!” A person shouted from across the room.

“Yeah! I’ll be there, Sean!” Jungkook shouted in return, cupping his hands around his mouth. He quickly reverted his attention back to me. 

“Hey, uh, Imma go but…” He stepped closer to me, leaving only a few inches between our faces. I felt my heart racing as I stared up at his big brown eyes. Why was I feeling this way? I don’t like him! He leaned forward to whisper something in my ear.

“If you want to do it again, just call me.” He whispered in a low, husky voice. I felt shivers down my spine as his breath hit my neck.

“Please,” I scoffed, staying calm. “I’d rather kiss a dog.” I spun around, whipping my hair in his face. I walked away, leaving Jungkook standing there. I can’t believe I just did that.

- Jungkook’s POV -

I chuckled as Yerin stomped away. I didn’t say anything about it, but I could see her face was as red as a tomato. She was annoying as hell most of the time, but sometimes she could be kind of cute in a sense.

I couldn’t help but think about her warm lips on mine. It felt so real even if it were all just part of an act. I couldn’t help but feel hurt when Yerin said she just kissed me to prove something to Daeun. I thought she just genuinely kissed me because she liked me or something, but I guess not. I couldn’t decipher what I was feeling. I needed to stop thinking about it. About her.

Stop it, Jungkook. I thought to myself. Stop it, stop it. You can’t fall in love with her. You can’t. You’ll just get hurt again.
