Love is always happy, Kook-ah
12. I feel like I'm going to shake
Rattling-
이여주
I entered the classroom as usual today. Someone was sitting there, but it was as quiet as a mouse.
이여주
Park Jimin and I sat in the back seats.
bang-
이여주
The closed door opened again.
이여주
Suddenly, I was startled by a loud noise and looked back to see Jungkook standing there with the same expression as yesterday.
전정국
"......"
이여주
The sadness in the eyes that looked at me was evident.
이여주
That sadness made me sick
이여주
I thought you had forgotten, but I guess not.
이여주
I looked so bad for telling Park Jimin to stay by my side so I could forget Jungkook.
박지민
"Hello, Jeon Jungkook."
이여주
The person who broke the silence between us was not me or Jungkook, but Park Jimin.
이여주
Jungkook frowned at Park Jimin, who was laughing as if he was making fun of him.
이여주
In the tense atmosphere where everyone was glaring at each other, I opened my mouth to mediate, but Park Jimin once again provoked Jungkook.
박지민
"Wow, you're not even greeting me"
이여주
"Ah, it hurts!!"
이여주
I quickly covered Park Jimin's mouth, but the already chilling atmosphere couldn't be changed.
이여주
Jungkook, who saw Park Jimin glaring at him and me covering his mouth, smiled faintly in interest and greeted Park Jimin.
전정국
"Okay, hello Park Jimin."
이여주
No, I don't like this kind of thing.
이여주
"Let's do this," Jungkook said, his lips pursed shut.
전정국
"Ugh, you must really hate it. It's like you're falling back into your old habits."
박지민
"..what?"
전정국
"You know, when you're angry or upset about something, your mouth always turns red."
이여주
Jungkook smiles victoriously as if he won, looking at Park Jimin who is looking at him at Jungkook's words.
전정국
"We've been friends for five years, and we've liked each other for five years, and yet you don't know anything about it."
박지민
"Fuck, you"
이여주
Uh...uh, this won't do...
전정국
"what"
박지민
"Why don't you think before you talk?"
전정국
"Me, why?"
이여주
It's funny, that's exactly the expression Jungkook had
박지민
"ha.."
전정국
"Why, you want to rush in? Come in as much as you want."
이여주
The atmosphere became increasingly tense, and I finally exploded.
이여주
"Hey, both of you follow me!!!!"
이여주
I stopped as I was passing by and looked back. I saw two people engaged in a war of nerves. I put my hand on their waist and called out to them.
이여주
"You keep fighting dirty. Why don't you come quickly?"
이여주
Only when I spoke did the two of them start to hesitantly come towards me.
이여주
"Whew..."
이여주
I sighed and opened my mouth
이여주
"What on earth are you two doing? Am I an object? Are you going to fight over it?"
이여주
"Wow, I'm speechless."
이여주
The two of them looked up at me cautiously, drooping like wet puppies as I spoke with a hollow laugh.
이여주
"I know Park Jimin likes me, but why is Jeon Jungkook suddenly acting like this?"
이여주
"Fuck, I'm skipping class today and I'm just going to drink like crazy until you guys make up. So either make up or not."
이여주
I smiled inwardly at the sight of our pupils dilating in surprise at what I was saying, and we looked at each other.
박지민
"sorry"
전정국
"Yeah, me too"
이여주
"Ms. Jakjimin, are you going to go to class quickly? You must have missed a lot of classes. Are you going to miss them this time too?"
박지민
"Mr. Lee..."
이여주
Park Jimin puffed out his cheeks and went back into school. He said this while saying
박지민
"Jeon Jungkook, if you touch the female protagonist, I will kill you!!"
이여주
Park Jimin seemed quite serious about what he said, but Jeon Jungkook gave him a finger-pointing as if nothing had happened.
박지민
"Hey, Jeon Jungkook!!!"
이여주
When Park Jimin shouted, Jeon Jungkook ran with me.
박지민
"Yaa!!!!"
이여주
I heard a voice calling us from behind, but I couldn't stop.
이여주
"Gasp...gasp-"
이여주
The place I arrived at after running like that was just a quiet walking path.
이여주
"Haa-ha..what on earth are you going to do..gasp..."
이여주
He spoke word by word, still barely able to breathe properly.
전정국
"I'm going to apologize..."
이여주
No, just a moment
이여주
What...? Jeon Jungkook is apologizing? To me?
이여주
Wow, what the heck is going on?
전정국
"I know you're surprised, but I feel like I owe you an apology."
이여주
I'm glad you realized your mistake.
전정국
"I'm really sorry for swearing at you last time. No matter how angry I was, I didn't mean to swear... I was short-sighted."
이여주
"Yeah... okay..."
이여주
I tried to speak as naturally as possible, but I couldn't hide my trembling hands.
전정국
"Oh, and"
이여주
"...?"
이여주
Jungkook paused for a moment before speaking again.
전정국
"I broke up with Bae Joo-hyun."
이여주
It would be a lie to say I was a little surprised. Her eyes, trembling madly, met his gaze.
이여주
"Why are you doing that to me?"
이여주
The distance between us was only a few centimeters as Jungkook suddenly thrust his face into mine.
전정국
"...I don't know, why am I like this?"
전정국
"I don't even know my feelings right now. So just accept it as it is. If you like it, like it. If you don't, don't."
전정국
"So, when I see you, I feel good, I feel good"
이여주
"...uh...uh"
이여주
I thought I misheard something. Jeon Jungkook's apology wasn't enough, and he said he felt better when he saw me?
이여주
It was a situation that was enough to make you laugh.
이여주
But still, why am I shaking?
이여주
"I've been working hard to forget, but what am I supposed to do now? What am I supposed to do with my heart that seems like it'll shake at the slightest touch...!!"
전정국
"then,"
전정국
"Shake it"
전정국
"I thought I was saving a dying person,"
전정국
"Shake me just once, okay?"
I couldn't refuse your words.
I don't know why
I don't know my own heart either.
