"Sorry Sohye..."

Jungkook follows me closely behind as I sulk, ignoring him. He continues to use his aegyo on me, I try my best to resist it. Seeing that my guard is still up, Jungkook frowns.

"Ow...ow.."

Suddenly, he clutches his stomach with a pained expression. Unfazed, I just continue to walk facing forward. I'm not gonna fall for that childish trick.

I paused when his footsteps stopped.

Turning my head, Jungkook was crouching down on the ground, tears evident in his eyes as he clearly is suffering.

My heart started to beat faster, panick arose in me.

"J-Jungkook? Are you okay?" I ran over to his side and rubbed his broad back in circular motions. He responded with a painful groan.

"Hold on to me, I'll get you to the school ward." I placed his arm around my shoulder and hoisted him up. He's a muscular , tall boy, so I struggled under his weight.

As I started to half-carry half-drag him along the empty hallway, his hands suddenly wrapped around my waist, his breath tickling my neck. My heart beat thundered in my chest.

"Got you."

I stared dumbly at him.
Jungkook pulls away slightly, facing me with a smirk.



"YAH! JEON JUNGKOOK!" I chased him as he laughs, sprinting down the hallway.




Aish! This kid is so damn fast.

I gave up chasing this boy and headed back to the classroom, but not before sending him a quick text.

Me: you idiot, you better explain why you said that when we meet after school

I was about to place my phone back into my pocket but a new notification from Jungkook popped up right away.

Jk: ok deal

One new notification from + Jk

Jk: but why does hyung have to come with us :c


An image flashes across my mind, Jimin waiting for us in the couch alone at home as he watches Inkigayo on the television screen.


Me: Jimin will be lonely



I closed my phone, stuffing it into my pocket and walked into the classroom. Around half the class were inside, discussing about various topics. Cliques already formed around the class.

"Sohye!" Taehyung gestures me over to his desk.

"Here." he shoves a pastel pink drink packet into my face, smiling widely. As I took it away from my face, the text on the drink packet made me smile.

"Strawberry milk? It's my favourite! Thank you!" I patted his fluffy hair. Taetae gives me a puppy like smile.

"your boyfriend told me." he says as he pokes a straw into his own packet drink which was chocolate milk.

...which reminds me, Jungkook is my 'boyfriend' now.

I pulled a chair to his desk and sat on it, a palm resting on my chin as I drank the strawberry milk. My blank thoughts got interrupted by a familiar cheeky voice.

"Sohye-sshi~"

I shot Jungkook a dirty look, and he pouted cutely at me in response.

Jungkook approached our desk, and the girls in the class started fangirling. Well, who wouldn't if two hottest boys in the entire grade were together.

Me and Jungkook started bickering until break ended, Taehyung occasionally giggling in amusement at my savage comebacks.

The rest of the periods I was nodding off, and when I turned to look at Taehyung, he was opening his mouth widely while staring blankly at the blackboard.

Jungkook was frowning in confusion everytime the teacher mentioned a math formula. He must be bad at math.

Jungkook leans on the doorframe as the girls exit the door, fangirling about him to their new friends.

"Hurry up Sohye~"

Jungkook whines as I write my last few updates on the class dairy. I was on duty, but he keeps disturbing me which made the process longer.

"Alright, I'm done." I stood from the chair.

"I called Jimin hyung, he's waiting outside the gate with his car." I nodded and the both of us made our way out of the school.

For some reason, alot of the students were whispering and pointing as we walked out. But I figured that it wasn't because of us.

"Did you see that hot guy just now? Who is he waiting for?"

"Omagosh, he's so freaking hot!! Im dying!"

"yah, go ask for his number or something."

When me and Jungkook turned to look, Jimin was leaning on the bonnet of his parked car. My jaw dropped.

Oh man holy shit. He looked hot.

No wonder there was so much commotion.

I mean, I knew Jimin wasn't average looking, but I didn't know he could be this good-looking.

He was wearing a fashionable denim jacket and a pair of sunglasses, his sharp jaw prominent with his black turtleneck.

"Hyung, we are going to the arcade. You know that right?" Jungkook points at his outfit, judging him.

Jimin removes his sunglasses and stares at me.

"Are you trying to impress Sohye?" I flinched at Jungkook's statement, averting my eyes away from Jimin's intense stare at my side profile.

"Well. Kinda." Jimin smirks at me.

My eyes widened at his direct confession.

He merely winked at me and opened the passenger door, gesturing me to sit inside.

I hesitated, then sat awkwardly in the front seat next to him.

Jimin ignores Jungkook as he plops himself at the driver's seat.

"Hyung, you're so biased!" Jungkook whined as he opens the door himself to the back seat and lies down, sulking.

"Yah you little rascal! Take off your shoes, you're gonna make the car seat dirty."

Jimin and Jungkook continued bickering as I stayed silent during trip to the nearby mall. The whole time, my heart almost beat out of my chest.

I only stole a few glances at Jimin's side profile as he steers the wheel. I gulp. He looked so freaking hot.

This man is confusing my heart.

When the three of us reached the arcade, me and Jungkook immediately rushed to the racing car to compete.

In the end, Jimin paid for the tokens which I scolded Jungkook, but Jimin insisted he didn't mind.

Jungkook cheekily smiled as I glared daggers at him.

"If I win, you're treating me and Jimin to ice cream." Jungkook scoffs arrogantly, giving me an ok sign.

"I'm Jungkook, what makes you think you can win?"

Jungkook didn't know, but I was an expert in arcade games. I've never been beaten by anyone ever before.

Jungkook had a shook expression on his face when I won him in the racing game.

"No way." He mutters under his breath. He looked unsatisfied.

"Don't you underestimate me, I'm a pro gamer." I patted my chest, other arm leaning on his shoulder as a frown forms on his face.

"you're only experienced in useless things." Jungkook smirks at me.

"YAH!" the two of us started to wrestle each other, Jungkook obviously winning as he mocks me by trapping my body in his strong arms while I punched his chest with my fists.

But my tiny punches probably felt like nothing, this boy's chest was rock hard.

Jimin had to pull us away before Jungkook starts to spin me around like his little toy.

Crossing my arms, I challenged him to another game and Jungkook being Jungkook, he agreed.

Jimin watches us intently as the both of us slid the token into the slots, starting the game.

Loud music started to play as me and Jungkook started to aim the basketballs into the hoop.

I was only good at video games and not althetic games like these, so Jungkook easily won me by a huge margin. He held up the long row of tickets coming out of the slot, a smug expression on his face.

"Jungkook-ah, go exchange the tickets for something. I wanna try something together with Sohye." Jimin pushes him towards the counter, and Jungkook relunctantly complies, leaving me and Jimin alone.

"Let's go!" Jimin smiles and lead me to the corner of the arcade. When my eyes landed on the machines , I let out a huge gasp.

"Crane game!" I ran over excitedly, gaining an amused look on Jimin's face.

"I saw on a kdrama that the guy wins the plushie that the girl wants. Is there anything you want?" he turns to me.

"That mochi plush over there." I pointed at the big plushie sitting at the back.

"Cuz it looks like you." Jimin's eyes widened, before his ears turned red. He took off the denim jacket and rolled up his sleeves.

"Alright."

Jimin inserted a token into the slot, and music started to play. I stared at him in awe as his expression turns serious, focusing on the hook intently.

He hesitated a while before pushing the button, the hook going down slowly.

______________________________________


"Pfft....Jimin, you suck." I try to hold back my laughter as Jimin frowns, putting another token into the slot. It was his ninth attempt.

Unsurprisingly, the plushie drops again and the game ends. Jimin runs a hand across his face in fustration. I chuckled softly at his reaction.

"I wanted to get the plushie so badly." he pouted.

I felt bad for him, so I decided to take over. I pushed his chest gently, telling him to move away.

Jimin raises his eyebrows as I faced the machine.

"Token please." I held out my hand. He innocently placed a token on my palm.

I inserted it into the slot, and manuevered the handle skillfully, my eyes calculating the best spot that it should stop at.

Finally i pressed the button, and my hands tightened into fists in anticipation.

The hook grabs onto the plushie, holding it and dropping it into the hole.

Jimin's face was in disbelief as I picked up the plushie and buried my face into its soft cushiony surface.

"Thank-you." I smiled widely as I hugged the mochi plush. Jimin smiles and pats my head.

"You're amazing, I'm supposed to be the male lead and you're the female, but why is it turning out the opposite?" the both of us laughed.

Jimin continues to pat my head, his hand travelling down to cup my cheek.

"In kdramas, the girl and boy hold hands..." Jimin grabs my hand and squeezes it. I squeezed his hand back, the two of us silently staring into each other's eyes.






"Sohye."

"Hmm?"




"....I










"Kim Sohye."

A voice cuts off Jimin's speech.

I turned my head, and my heart fell to the ground.

A face of the past that I knew too well.
