004. XX We watch together
W. Frost Light
After hearing Jeon Jungkook's meaningful words and Park Jimin's date request, I'm currently in a state of mental confusion. Should I say I can't figure out what to do? I clearly like Jeon Jungkook. It's a good thing he said something meaningful to me... But why did I even say yes to Park Jimin's date request?
"Kim Yeo-ju, you must be crazy!!!"
Others would frown upon my inconsistent behavior. And I can't condone the fact that I did something like that. Of course, most people wouldn't consider it wrong to meet both of them and choose the better one, but I feel so sorry for Jeon Jungkook, who I fell for first.
"I guess I should refuse now."
After much thought, I felt sorry for Park Jimin, but I decided it was best to decline. Rather than giving him any leeway, I felt it would be better to draw the line quickly.
- Hey, Park Jim
💬 ??
- The promise I made yesterday
💬 Oh, heroine. So I made a restaurant reservation?
When I receive a call from Park Jimin, who has already made a restaurant reservation, my heart sinks again. He even made a reservation, so how can I refuse now? Would you be able to do it in this situation? I can't! What should I do?
- Uh... What time did you make the reservation for?
💬 Saturday 1pm
- Okay. Let's meet in front of the Seori Shopping Center at 12:30 and walk together.
💬 Okay, see you then
My head is in shambles right now. The lyrics are flowing, and they seem to express my feelings. Should I be happy about this? Actually, more pressing than that is the thought of going to school tomorrow, and wondering how I should face these two people. Is there a good way? People only come to their senses when faced with a situation, so I'll just sleep for now. When I go to school tomorrow and see those two, my body will move on its own. Alright. I'll go to sleep!

A loud alarm and a bright light glaring at my eyes. Bright light? An alarm? My eyes snapped open and I glanced at the clock. It was 10 o'clock... Right now, I, Kim Yeo-ju, am completely late. I hastily turned off the still-pathetic alarm, messed up my hair, and rushed to the bathroom. Like any other girl, I hastily washed my bangs, put on some basic makeup, and left the front door wearing my school uniform.
Walking around in my school uniform at this time, I couldn't avoid people's gaze, so I had no choice but to try to pretend like nothing was wrong and head to school.
Hahaha, hello teacher.Good morning! I told myself to open it carefully, but as I entered through the back door, the teacher and students' eyes were fixed on me. "This is burdensome," I said. I greeted him sheepishly, and the teacher's familiar reaction made my heart flutter.
"Lady, the teacher really wants to see you come early and sit down nicely in your seat."
" sorry···. "
He nodded repeatedly and headed to the seat behind Jeongguk. He patted Jeongguk on the back and called out to him, and when he turned around, he quietly opened his mouth.
"Why didn't you wake me up today?"
The kid who always woke me up, the object of my first crush, the person who had said he'd express himself properly to me just yesterday. Unlike usual, he hadn't woken me up, walked to school with me, and hadn't contacted me since morning. So, I looked at Jeon Jungkook with a mixture of bewilderment and disappointment.
"Sorry, I had to come early because I was on duty this week."
"You always came with me when it was your turn."
"I'm really sorry, I woke up late today too"
" okay. "
Now that I realize I like him, words don't come out the way they used to, and the awkwardness has made me feel gloomy for no reason. It's true that I have a crush on Jeon Jungkook, but he's my only friend, always rooted in the same spot like a sturdy tree, so even the smallest things upset me and made me feel awkward.
"Jeon Jungkook, let's go eat."
Time flew by and it was lunchtime. Today was the day Jeon Jungkook's favorite side dishes were served, so I said, "Let's go quickly," and grabbed Jeon Jungkook's hand as we headed to the cafeteria. All the way to the cafeteria, Jeon Jungkook followed me quietly, not even saying a word. Seeing him so silent made me feel awkward, and worried that something might be wrong, so I stopped and looked at Jeon Jungkook.
"What's wrong with you?"
" suddenly? "
"Yeah. You're acting a little weird today."
" what? "
"Just, why aren't you talking to me today, and why aren't you joking around with me?"
"It's nothing. Let's go quickly."
I'm so annoyed at the guy who won't tell me anything as if it were some big secret.I don't want to eat it.You must be watching me turn around and head to class, but why don't you stop me? Just yesterday you made me tremble, and today you act like a person in a cold wind, which makes me so confused.
"Jeon Jungkook is an idiot."
Jeon Jungkook and I were always together for so long, he was indispensable to me. If my unrequited love had broken us apart, I'd gladly give it up. Don't get me excited from the start. Don't say that yesterday. I'm embarrassed that I had high hopes.
If you're having a hard time, I can make a place for you to rest next to me. If someone is bothering you, I can gladly buy you a curse doll and put a curse on you. If you're happy next to someone else, I'm the kind of person who can gladly cheer for that happiness. But your sudden changes in behavior are confusing me so much.
"What are you doing here?"
I looked up at the soft, innocent voice and saw Park Jimin looking down at me with a slightly blunt, cold, yet worried gaze. He's always been the same. When I first saw him yesterday, I thought he looked incredibly intimidating, but have we become closer now? He seems a bit gentle. He's like a tsundere.
"Aren't you eating? Are you sick?"
"No, I don't have an appetite."
" let's go. "
He's not the type to talk much, but his hands and gaze are filled with concern for me. He quietly watches Park Jimin's back as he leads me. Perhaps he's bothered by my quietness, but he glances back at me every now and then as he heads off. "Pick," I snapped, and decided to walk alongside Park Jimin.
"Where are you going?"
"Store"
"A store? Why a store?"
"The food isn't that good today."
That mediocre meal, Jeon Jungkook must be eating it well, saying it's delicious. Even at this moment, I find myself thinking of Jeon Jungkook, which makes me laugh. But I'm grateful for the kind heart of this kid who's trying to comfort me by dragging me to the cafeteria, and I feel a lot better.
"I feel like this~ This older sister is shooting!"
"What is your sister doing?"
I smiled bashfully, following Park Jimin, who grumbled at my words but smiled prettily.Thank you for comforting me.Our two hands were still clinging, but I couldn't let go. No, I was so grateful for this hand that I didn't want to let it go.
"By the way, which restaurant did you reserve?"
"It's a restaurant, to be exact. Do you like pasta?"
"Wow, I really love pasta! Where is it?"
"Pasta & Pasta"
"Crazy. It's so hard to get a reservation there."
"I asked for a favor because it's a store run by my father's friend."
Jimin's father's friend runs this restaurant. If I don't know that restaurant in our neighborhood, wouldn't I be a spy? That person must be making a lot of money. Oh, I'm finally going to eat pasta there! I was so happy that I couldn't stand still, and I was flustered by Park Jimin laughing so hard he almost collapsed.Hey hey are you okay?
"Do you like it that much?"
"Hey, what's the point of saying that? I'm definitely going to post about the pasta I ate there on Instagram!"
I turned around and entered the store again... It was Jeon Jungkook. Jeon Jungkook, whom I thought was eating alone in the cafeteria, was leaving the store after buying a bunch of things. As we entered, Jeon Jungkook met us, his gaze lingering on the hand we were holding. He quickly let go and spoke as if nothing had happened.
"You haven't eaten?"
"I ate."
"But why did you come to the store?"
" ···. "
"We have to buy something! You go to class first! See you later!"
I opened my mouth, pretending to be cheerful and nonchalant, and led Park Jimin past Jeon Jungkook. I hated this situation. The moment I passed Jeon Jungkook, my expression hardened so much that it was obvious without me having to say anything, and Park Jimin tilted his head in puzzlement, but he didn't bother asking, as if he was aware. Honestly, I don't know. How can I change the awkward atmosphere between Jeon Jungkook and me, as if we'd fought? We hadn't fought, after all.
"Park Jim~ What are you going to buy?"
"Full moon you?"
"Um, should I buy some banana milk and some pastries?"
" okay "
After paying and getting a straw, I was sucking on my banana milk with the straw and leaving the store when Jeon Jungkook was just standing there. I told him to go first... I was walking away, rustling the poor bag of bread, when Jeon Jungkook grabbed my wrist and turned me around.
"Let's talk"
I don't feel like it right now. I don't even know what to say. What happens to us if I refuse this conversation?What do you want to say? Say it here.
"Let's do it at the back door, not here."
"Okay, Jimin, do you want to go first?"
" huh. "
As I arrived at the back door, guided by Jeon Jungkook, he turned around and looked at me. He opened his mouth, then closed it again, then opened it again, then closed it again, as if he was debating whether to say something or not, and I was the first to speak.
"Tell me, Jungkook. What are you talking about?"
"I'm really sorry in the morning"
"Is that what you want to talk about?"
"No, did you decide to date Park Jimin?"
? What are you talking about out of the blue? You're acting awkward and different than usual! You're being cold! You called me because you had something to say, and now what is this? Where did that sudden definition come from? Could it be because you were holding my hand earlier?
"Jungkook, are you crazy?"
At my question, Jeon Jungkook turns his head with a red face. Oh my? His ears are red too. Is this embarrassing?
"We're not dating."
"But why are you holding my hand?"
Pint was there, Jeon Jungkook! Are you jealous?
"Then why are you like that today?? "
"It feels like you just overheard what I said yesterday. It hurts my pride."
???? What kind of new nonsense is this? When did I ever get into this?? I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep last night and was even late! It's funny to think that this is why he was so awkward with me. It also makes me angry. Jeon Jungkook has a cute side.
"Jungkook, I never let a word slip past you. I was actually really nervous."
" really···? "
"Yeah, really."
I smiled brightly at you, and Jeon Jungkook smiled back, which made me feel much more at ease. I couldn't believe I felt so awkward over something so trivial. I was truly dumbfounded. After we finished talking, I checked the time and saw that lunch was almost over, so I hastily dragged Jeon Jungkook along.
"Let's go quickly! The bell will ring soon!"
"Wait a minute, I bought this for you to eat."
Jeon Jungkook briefly stopped me, then handed me the black envelope he'd been holding in his hand. I took it and opened it, and it was filled with my favorite snacks. He'd been concerned about me not eating. He'd been trying to take care of me like this. Jeon Jungkook's heart touched me, and I felt good.
"Thank you, I'll eat well! Let's go quickly!!"
I ran into the classroom with difficulty with Jeon Jungkook and rang the bell.Oh safe!When I show my palm to Jungkook, he smiles brightly and high-fives me. Our bunny is so cute. I want to bite his smile!
How much time had passed like that? Seeing the teacher come in for the closing ceremony and the kids leaving the classroom one by one, carrying their bags, I felt a sense of drowsiness as I realized the day was already over. Today was quite eventful. It's strange how my mood fluctuates because of Jeon Jungkook alone. Oh, and I have to tell him I'm having dinner with Jimin tomorrow.
"Hey Jungkook. I'm having dinner with Park Jimin tomorrow. After we finish eating, I'll go to your house!"
" okay. "
"Let's go home, Jungkook."
I'm walking next to Jungkook, but isn't he too handsome today? No, he's always handsome, but why is he so handsome today? I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks this. As we walk home from school, the other kids' eyes are fixed on Jungkook. Is he used to this? As if the stares aren't burdensome, Jungkook is discussing with me what porn we should watch when we get home today. Wait, porn? In this situation? You said you like me! No, you haven't said you like me yet, but porn? Is that something you should say to me? Of course, he didn't say no.
"So, that's it for today?"
"Yeah, yeah! Okay!"
"Aren't you scared?"
" what? "
"Watch porn with me, knowing what I'm going to do. It's dangerous."
