The cool breeze gently caressed my skin and made my hair lift up. I noticed a cherry blossom fall onto my lap making me smile before picking it up. The stampede of  over-thinking thoughts clouded my brain and It could give me a headache from all this stress, but of course I can't really help myself from thinking about Jeon Jungkook. Who would have guessed that still to this day this man would be so impacting as he was when I first spoke to him. ' What does he want from me?' I marvel in thought but the answer is already provided. ' He only wants your body.' But then why would he go to so much effort? And he also seemed sincere when he apologized also not to mention over honest. Deciding to repeat the process of forgetting about him, I look to my side where Taehyung was sitting right besides me. He got me bewildered and relieved earlier by the way he dared to speak to Jungkook and I really hope that he doesn't gain consequences later on for doing that. I imagine a group of delinquent males waiting for him outside with bats and other tools to  beat Taehyung and I flinch! I don't want that for my best friend. For what? Some trash like me? 

" Thank You for helping me out back there Bubble Tae." A kind gentle smile spreads from my lips and I reach my hand towards his thigh, patting it. 

" Huh?" Taehyung breaks from his train of thoughts and looks at me. Then after he realized what I said he hummed. " Well now that you mentioned it..Can we talk about what just happened?? I felt like you wouldn't want to talk about it but if you mention it now, I think that it's okay no? " 

" Uhh...Well I'm not sure. It depends on what part of it you want to discuss-" I tell him but secretly I don't really want to talk about what just happened, I'm not even sure myself. I guess it was just a heated moment for me but the most important about it is that I actually spoke up against Jungkook. I feel that it was a big step for me to learn how to push him to the side but why do I feel like I only remained the same? Yes I feel good for standing up for myself but yet I'm here thinking so much about it. 

Going back to Taehyung who was just tapping his chin repeatedly, thinking and preparing for his first question. I felt so nervous and unconsciously I began playing with my fingers and I bit my lip. " I don't exactly know what question to ask but like...Who is he? I mean I know him cause he's all over the place, but how do you know him? Never have I ever seen you speaking to him and all of a sudden he's there gripping you and all-" Taehyung explains to me, most of it with his hand actions to express how he feels about this situation. 

" Uhh..." I pause gulping hard now noticing how my mind suddenly exploded with different montages about me being besides or anywhere near Jungkook. Even those pitiful times that I used to just admired him for being himself and someone so ever gorgeous. I would practically drool when I watch him when he used to play basketball with the boys, or when he would constantly get attention from these girls. Naive, I chose to believe that Jungkook wasn't a boy and that perhaps he dumped his girl friends/boy friends so quick because they weren't the good match that he thought they were. 

"......Two months ago I had a crush on Jungkook, Tae." Releasing my lip from chewing on it harshly. My heart beats hard against my chest, sweat forming while my mind raced to put my words together like a jigsaw puzzle. I didn't understand why I felt so worried about what taehyung would think. Would he judge me? Would he think that I was stupid? Well I was pretty stupid however I'm just fearful of having our relationship change. " Two months ago, I was the school's popular ugly nerd who wasn't liked by pretty much everyone. I had only one best friend whom I truly loved and looked out for me. Then I had the nerves to-ugh have a liking towards Jungkook. One day I confessed to him but he brutally rejected me, In which I wanted to commit suicide." I look up at Taehyung's face whom is frowning at me. I can see the worry and concern in his eyes which truly made me feel so grateful that he didn't begin to change his love for me. 

" I was almost successful but I was saved by my past best friend. However he had to leave for the military and I spent my days alone and depressed. But...I had a candle shining against the darkness to help me see...I had a mini ambition...a goal I'd like to call it where I promised me and that best friend that I will change. That I will be confident and stronger than that weakling me. When you joined this school, you became and was always my inspiration to remain positive throughout these hell days." I finish confessing my truest feelings for Taehyung because he just deserves to hear this. He's so special to me and a great help. " That's why...When I say that being here for me is enough-" I interrupt myself as I feel the tears coming. " I really mean it." I imagine my eyes commencing to change red and my nose had began to get this certain feeling making it sure that I was on the edge of crying. 

" Aww~This makes me feel so great hyung, Thank you for telling me this and I'm so sorry that you had to go through so many emotional things. This Jungkook b-being a Jerk isn't fair and I already hate him. You're amazing Jimin trust me. I'm not only saying this as your best friend but also because I know you Jimin...I observed what kind of person you are but I'm sorry to say that society doesn't agree. They nod their heads only content with appearance lately, I just wish it would stop. I'm also sorry about your past best friend..He sounds great." Taehyung's pout seemed so adorable to me. The boy embraced me with his warm hug In which to me it felt like the world have lifted some of my stress along with concerns. Wrapping my arms around Taehyung's neck I close my eyes and pray for everything to be alright from today and on. I'm not asking the lord for a fountain pouring chocolate, I'm not asking the lord for a tooth made of gold. I only want a life where I can breathe. 

" T-thank you Bubbletae for always being here."

" No shut up booty. Let's not cry here.." Taehyung smiles brighter than the sun when he looks at me and I make sure to return it just as bright even if I still feel like crying. " So what's going to happen? With this Jungkook guy? Do you want me to beat him for you!? I'll take karate lessons and drag him down to hell!" Taehyung threw his gentle fist in the air his other hand holding onto his humerus. He flexed his muscles making a bump lift up and down which made me giggle and roll my eyes. Sometimes a good way to distract one from pain or emotional feelings is by joking around and finding happiness even if it's seventeen minutes of his life. 

" No need~" I grin. " But aren't we going to get in trouble? Shoot It's my fault you didn't go to class bubbletae I'm sorry." 

" Don't worry your pretty little Jibooty, You are important too and you really needed a break. From everything..." Taehyung inhales at the end of his sentence, laying his head onto my lap while he just stared at me. I look back down and remain also  staring back at him and meeting his eyes that gleamed and hinted that he was up to something. " Jimin..." He spoke his voice lower than usual as his lips parted lightly and his eyes seemed virtually closed. Staring at him now made me feel nervous because of how handsome he appears. Was Taetae always this hot? If not, did he ever have to go through what I went through? If not...How can he possibly agree and understand my past position.?

" Yes bubbletae...?" I finally respond after  a while of lingering in my thoughts. 

" What if.."

" What if?" I blink and can't help but to want to look away at something else as I feel some tension building between us at this moment.

" what if..You forget about Jungkook and fall for me instead?" Taehyung asked me out of the blue which skips my heart into beats the way one would toss a rock onto the river and watch it bounce against the surface. 

" Wh-what?" My eyes flicker repeatedly like if sand just flew by. The first thought In my head was actually considering Taehyung as my boyfriend, which then I stopped myself quickly in trying to process well what he just asked me. How could he possibly ask me this!? How can I possibly not have an answer for even myself?! Oh shoot. I could feel my cheeks warming up skyrocket and I know Taehyung can tell too, which is bad. " Well?" taehyung breaks my bullet train of hyper thoughts when he speaks.  The male then intertwines his free hand with the back of my hairs and pulls me closer to his face until our nose touches together, causing me to flinch from the skin-ship. " ah-Taetae!" I forced my eyes closed as I blushed because I couldn't take all this making me flustered. Taehyung's upcoming laughter is what finally convinced me to peek with one eye at him who is currently dying from laughter.

" Jibooty you're so adorable~ And so sweet how you would actually take a moment to consider what I asked." Taehyung smiles feeling relaxed after laughing so much. 

" Y-y-you were just kidding?" I question trying my best to calm both my racing heart and cheeks. 

" Yes~ Jibooty." Taehyung responds earning a punch from me soon afterwards. I can't believe how flustered and embarassed I feel because of him! That question could have revealed some things that I perhaps wouldn't want him to know. I feel that I revealed something when I ' took time to considerate.'  

" Next period is about to begin. Let's finish school and hang out together." Taehyung closes his eyes and only smiles before opening them again. " You deserve more break, don't you think? I'll even treat ya to food since it is my punishment for teasing you." 

" Well alright...But where to?" 

" I was thinking about some place with games...Maybe an arcade or a karaoke place. But I imagine you want peace and quiet such as a library, café place-erm sitting by the river or just a calming park?" 

" Oh yes please~ Bubbletae knows me so well." I eye smile at him while watching him rise from the ground and stand. Next he held his hand for me to hold In which I did. And together we went our separate ways to our own separate classes.

Jimin at the finale of his period, lifted his packed bookbag and wrapped it around his shoulders. He ran out of the classroom not only excited to have peace time with his best friend but he also ran out as hastily as possible because he had a feeling stirring inside him that Jungkook would attempt to randomly appear and talk to him again. Yes, Jungkook has been defeated by both Jimin and Taehyung earlier but it still didn't necessarily mean that jungkook would disappear. Would he? Well Jimin didn't want to risk it and find out. The small male let out a huff of air when he managed to " escape" and he felt like that perhaps he is exaggerating things. Is Jungkook such a big deal that he can't even properly walk on school grounds without having to be afraid of getting caught? Is Jungkook such a big deal that Jimin has to go about his way to avoid this male? No, Jungkook shouldn't be this big deal enough to make anybody squirm and act like he doesn't fit these halls. Jimin looks behind at the mob of students leaving the school, wondering if perhaps Jungkook was somewhere near him. Due to that, the male bumped into a random student and apologized. " I'm so sorry." Jimin bows and continues walking. Again Jimin looks behind at the crowd, not because of Jungkook but this time he realized that he was supposed to be on a date with taehyung but he didn't know the latter's location. He bumped into a different person and apologized. " Oh i'm so sorry!" Jimin says with the embarrassment in his voice. His blood stops cold, heart racing now when he noticed that the person he bumped is Jungkook. Jimin really believed he is doomed to be ruined at this point. 

He marvels about why the confidence and sauce that he gained earlier has vanished away, unabling him from standing up for himself again. ' Maybe it's best if I just walk away.' Jimin thought in his mind and he already began stepping back slowly and as he did so, his stare lingered on Jungkook becoming silently surprised that Jungkook doesn't even try to pursue him at all! Did he finally give up? Will he leave Jimin alone? The thought of it made Jimin think of himself as a bottle getting filled with the liquid of joy. At the same time he couldn't help but feel....strangely disappointed. Keeping in mind that perhaps Jungkook never really cared about Jimin at all. The thought that Jimin was right about Jungkook only being attracted to appearances or even materialistics. But then, Jungkook smiles gently and soothingly with soft lips. He lifts his hands up to his chest before forming a heart shape with his fingers. When Jimin whom is still stepping back had his eyes widened and lips parted, Jungkook began to run away off to somewhere. 

Confused Jimin couldn't help but to start contemplating building on theories on whatever just happened with Jungkook and whatever it meant.  In the end, he came to two conclusions.

One, Jungkook is not giving up and he just sent loves

Two, Jungkook gave up and he sent peace and an invitation to reconcile.

Later on Jimin and Taehyung found each other at the front steps of the school and they both decided on what they wanted to do for today. Taehyung offers the idea to buy sweets such as Nutella and banana Crêpe, Ice cream cake, crossants with other things on the side. Sure it was sweet but it is definitely a change from the unhealthy food. Then Jimin suggested to chill at the park just the way they relaxed when it was school time. Jimin is leaning against the tree, stuffing another piece of Crossaint in his mouth and thinks back to his joyful times during his past. As for Taehyung, He rested his head on Jimin's thighs and is on the verge to sleep. Honestly he wanted to do something else for fun but this is for Jimin therefore he should endure this relaxing moment. Jimin's stressed and he needs a break out of everything. A time to breathe in and out. 

" So are we to remain silent forever?" Taehyung questions opening one of his eyes. Jimini shakes his head 'No' 

" Just inhale and exhale with me because this is only the beginning." 

" What is?" 

" More....More conflict and I guess stressing." Jimin Mutters his dry lips as he gets reminded of what Jungkook did earlier today. Nervous is the only thing he feels at the moment, How strong can he be? And how long can he last? 

" Why would you say that?" 

" Just a feeling.." 

" Why would you feel that?" 

"...I don't know..." 

" Why won't you know?" 

" Okay too many questions." Jimin begins to giggle before forcing Taehyung's head back down onto his lap.
