As night slowly fell, it seemed that the rumor of Lalisa saying such a horrible thing had fallen out of people's heads. Everyone was now talking about Lalisa and Jungkook being a couple. Being that they weren't careful about people seeing, many saw them kiss. It sent people exploding through the roof. This was absolutely the best thing that happened on the trip.

But guessing everyone could easily assume who didn't like the sound of the new rumor. Technically not a rumor, it was true.. but Jungkook and Lalisa had never talked about being together as a couple, it was just a confession. Maybe that'd change sooner than later..

**

Taehyung and I worked out our differences, the rumor I had made up didn't exist anymore. Everyone was caught up in a new lie someone must have made up, that Jungkook and the blonde kissed at the beach and were holding hands. I highly doubt that its true, Jungkook would never do that. He's a little scaredy cat, he wouldn't kiss a girl.

I cuddle closer to Taehyung as we relax in his tent. "You know.. people will think we've done something after we exit this tent together." He says. I shrug and wrap my arm around him, listening to his heart beat. "Why do you care about that?" I ask. "Cause, I don't want to look like some dog that just comes on a school outing and has sex. I'd at least have some dignity and do it somewhere with more privacy." I look at him, thought he didn't want to talk about sex.

I just shrug and set my head on his chest again. I become worried, what if that blonde changes Jungkook? I really can't let that happen, Jungkook is MY best friend, not hers. I have to do something that will make him choose me over her, she doesn't deserve to have him. Plus, I'm always on the top, not her.. she'll always be lower than dirt.

**

I really don't know what to do, I'm in shock. He holds my hand as we walk down the beach. Okay, I really have to wake up from this dream I'm in. Because there's no way that in my world, Jungkook would confess to me and tell me he likes me. No. Way. He looks at me and smiles, did he sense me thinking this?

"Since when did you start liking me?" He asks, my heart is pounding so hard right now, I might become light headed. I bite my lip, "Since that one time I walked home upset." I say, yeah... that's about right. He tilts his head a bit, grinning. Ugh, stop... my tummy. "Why?" He asks. "Because I didn't think you cared that much about me to continue to come back and comfort me." I confess. He let's out a laugh, "Seriously, Lalisa?" He asks.

I look down at his hand holding mine, still. "Yeah.." I say. "I've always cared about you." He tells me. I try my best not to smile. It's peaceful, walking with him. I then let myself smile, I think this is okay... to let myself smile. I'm taken by surprise when I feel a force push me, the force was so hard that I almost pull Jungkook down with me. I fall onto the wet sand, and lucky for me.. a huge wave rushes in, making me gasp.

Jungkook looks down at me concerned then both of us turn to see two girls looking down at me, probably the same two that wet me and threw sand at me. They're laughing as I struggle to get back up. "What's your problem?" Jungkook asks with an angry tone in his voice, I don't think I ever heard him mad before. Does a guy like Jungkook even get mad? "How can you stand to be around her? She's a horrible person, she's a dog." One of the girls says as the other looks down at me with a nasty expression on her face. I knew it, Jennie made up a lie about me.

When I'm able to stand, Jungkook wraps an arm around me and I slowly look away from the girls. "Lalisa didn't do anything wrong, the both of you have been misled." He tells them. I sneak a peak at their expressions, they're surprised. "What? No, Jennie would never mislead us." One of the girls says. "Jennie would never lie to us, she cares about us." I try not to laugh. "Maybe you should go ask her that, leave Lalisa alone. She didn't do anything wrong." Jungkook says.

The girls look a bit disappointed, mad even. "We're sorry." They quickly say, bowing before running off. Jungkook lets go of me, I'm all full of sand again. I try to rub it off my clothes. "What words Jennie put in my mouth anyways?" I ask. "That doesn't matter, you shouldn't worry about it." He says. I look up at him, "But I want to know." I say. He blinks a couple times before biting his lip. "What is it Jungkook?" I ask impatiently. "She made it seem like you told her to kill herself."

I stare at him in disbelief, I would never say that. Let alone even talk to Jennie, she hates me so much and I have no idea why. "I never said it." I whisper. I really wouldn't, I wouldn't want to wish death upon anyone.. even if they dislike me for no reason. "I know you wouldn't, that's why after I talked to Jimin and Chaeyoung, I didn't react that much." He tells me. I stare at him then back down at my clothes. I don't think I have the guts to tell him how Jennie was treating me a few days ago.

I have a feeling that it definitely won't stop now, and I don't think Jungkook could do anything about it. I'll just have to endure it. "I'm sorry.." my eyes water. He looks at me concerned, "There's nothing for you to be sorry about, you've done nothing wrong." My stupid tears fall down my cheeks. "Our classmates think that you're a horrible person because you're talking to me, cause you're around me." He shakes his head and let's out a breath.

"I could care less about what people think about me, I know who I am and I can hang out with who ever I want. Our classmates need to stop listening and falling for rumors before they go off and assume things about who I am." I use the back of my hands to rub my ugly tears away. "I need to take another shower." I frown looking up at him. "Okay, let me walk you." I keep my head down and stare at the sand under my now wet shoes, as we walk back to the camp ground.

We unexpectedly stop walking. "Hey, look up." I feel his thumb pull up my chin to look at him. He looks concerned. "Please don't look at the floor anymore, you look much prettier looking up." He says. "Especially is it's up at me." I feel my cheeks heat up. Oh gosh, Jungkook!!! Stop doing this to my heart. I might fall harder for you.

**

Her cheeks turn pink and she slowly looks away from me. I honestly don't know what has come over me, I've been really able to come clean to her. She made me feel things I didn't think I was allowed to. She's sweet, don't get me started on the taste of her chapstick. It makes my feet feel funny just thinking about it. I softly run my thumb over her chin before dropping my hand, I grab her hand again.

"Let's go." I tell her. She follows, I feel my heart pounding again. I can't believe how much I've changed in the past few hours. I like Lalisa, I'm happy, and I can't stop thinking about our kiss. "Jungkook.." I hear her voice. I look down at her as we've made it to the tents. "Yes?" I look at her as we stand in front of her tent. "Please don't leave me.." She whispers. I might faint, honestly. "I won't." I tell her.

She disappears into her tent and grabs more things to take a shower, I look around with cautious eyes. I know that those girls won't bother her again, but I still won't leave her. She walks out of her tent and I walk her to the shower, this time me following her isn't a secret. But I think I want to see how this goes before I tell her what I heard. She looks at me with a smile, she looks much happier... I'm happy too.

"Thank you Jungkook." She says, I'm about to reply when she kisses my cheek before walking into the shower. I have the biggest smile on my face, gosh, smiling like an idiot again. I press my hand against my cheek and lean against the wall. There's this fluttering in my chest and it's new to me. I guess Jimin is right, Lalisa can be good for me.

**

Jennie and I decided that we should go on our hike before we lose daylight. We cuddled like she wanted in my tent, then we got up and we headed out to the trails. A lot more people are out here, I'm guessing because it's much too cold at the beach. She holds my hand, our fingers intertwined. "Taehyung." She whispers as she wraps her arm around mine and sets her head on my shoulder. "Yes?" I answer her.

"Do you like spending time with me?" She asks.  I let out a slow breath and look down at her. "Of course I do, I like it very much. Seeing your face is the only thing that will make me happy." I confess to her. Her eyes sparkle as the sky slowly becomes a dark blue shade, scattered with stars. "Really?" She looks very delighted with my answer. "Really Really." I smile. She smiles back and stops in her tracks as she takes my other hand and turns me to face her.

She straightens her back and looks up at me, I soften my smile to a grin as I set my forehead on hers. "Even with all these stars in the sky, you're my favorite one." She tells me, my chest feeling odd like it always does when she's around me. She closes her eyes and smiles wide, her cute smile making her look like a cat. I tilt my head and kiss her chubby cheek, "I love you..." I whisper, only for our ears to hear. Maybe a firefly would hear, or the wind, but just us. She softly let's go of my hands and I take the opportunity to wrap my arms around her body.

She sets them on my chest, slowly running them upward and touching my neck before she uses her thumbs to move my head to face her. "I love you too." She whispers before her lips lightly touch mine, I lean into her and we share a kiss. Her fingers now in my hair and I feel like I'm hovering over my body, watching me kiss the girl of my dreams. I suppose she's the girl of many boys dreams. I guess I'm the only one who is actually living it. She hooks her arms onto my neck and slowly pulls away from me, she smiles.

I bite my bottom lip that still has the taste of her lip gloss on it. I'm so thankful for this girl, she makes my heart burst at unexpected moments. My heart might become a drug addict, it's becoming addicted to her. And though we've known each other for a long time now, I'm still not sure if it's okay.

We slowly let go of each other and she grabs my hand and we continue with our hike. The fireflies twinkle in the air and in the grass making a small path look like a wonderland. I'm happy this isn't a hallucination, and I'm not eating cakes that make me small then make me a giant. Seems exhausting. Okay, okay.. off topic. Just then the whistle is heard and all the couples that were in the trail run off hand in hand from the dark.

I chuckle, I didn't even see them, that's why they came here, no one would see them lip locking. I pick up her hand and twirl her, she starts to laugh. "Taehyung!" She shrieks. I stop and let her find her footing. She smiles at me and she pulls me back to the camping ground where the bonfire has been lit. At the same time we're arriving, so is the kid and Lalisa, holding hands. Well, something happened.

I instantly look at Jennie and her eyes follow them, what a Jelly Jennie.

**

Taehyung and I sit at the bench we did the other night, and I stare at Jungkook and the blonde. She's wearing his sweater and he's trying to braid her hair, his guitar hanging off his back. I scoot closer to Taehyung and look away from them, since when did they get all touchy touchy? Hmp. Then the teacher finally starts to talk. "Okay students, it's our last night on the trip." Everyone starts to whine. "I know I know.. but we will all be going home and it will be a free day on Monday because of holiday." Mr. Le says.

Everyone then begins to cheer. "So just relax and make the last of the s'mores supplies. We've got a long ride tomorrow." He smiles before sitting down. "We should go out tomorrow." I hear Taehyung in my ear. "Oh? You're not tired of me yet?" I laugh. "Heck no, now please? I want to go out with you." I smile and nod. "Okay." I say, my eyes slowly shifting back to Jungkook and the blonde. Ugh.

**

"Jungkook, braid my hair." I say. "Okay, I'll try." He chuckles. He starts to braid it and I can't stop smiling. I hand him my hair tie and he ties my hair. When he's done I face him while touching my hair, "Wow, you really know how to braid hair." I then get the idea as to why, but still... he says it. "Jennie used to make me braid her hair all the time when we were little." I keep my smile and slowly nod, why... did he have to say that?

Mr. Le then gets up and makes an announcement before s'mores supplies are passed around. Jungkook grabs a couple of everything and I stare at him laughing, "You're going to eat all that?" I ask. "Don't think I can?" He asks. "No, I know you can." He smiles wide. "I'm just kidding, but no.. I'm making you s'mores too." He says. I grab a marshmallow and bite it. He chuckles, "I knew you'd do that." I chuckle and lightly nibble on the sweet treat.

He starts putting two marshmallows on a stick and he begins to roast them. "Are you excited to see your dad tomorrow?" He asks, I look at him, but he's too distracted on watching the marshmallow. Making sure they won't burn. "I hope he's okay.", "I'm sure he's fine, there's nothing to worry about." He says. I hope I can believe him..

**

Lalisa and I eat our s'mores, I didn't burn a single marshmallow. I then begin to play my guitar and sing for her, of course everyone is listening. Once again, only the sound of the fire crackling and the ocean in the far distance is my background music. I don't look at anyone but her, now singing a Korean song. She keeps her eyes on my guitar, tilt my guitar and drop my head so she looks at me.

I hear girls screeching, I don't know why though. I only want her to look me in the eyes. Her dark brown eyes looking into mine. The night went on and many people requested songs for me to sing, and if I knew the chords for the song I played it. That about wrapped up the night and a lot of people told me I'm really good. Again, we wait at the dark bonfire pit when everyone, including the teachers, are gone. "Wow, Jungkook.. you always seem to know how to blow me away." She smiles.

I rub the back of my neck and slowly look away as I find my face heating up. "No, now you have to look at me." She chuckles. I look at her with my pink cheeks, they're probably so bright I can use them as a flashlight to walk back to my tent. "Awe!! Look at your pink cheeks." She does aeygo. I chuckle and she squishes my cheeks. I stare at her face, she just stares back for a while before she squeezes my nose with her fingers, then ruffles my hair.

"We've got a long ride home tomorrow." She says, before getting ready to unzip my sweater off of her. I set my hand on hers, "Keep it." I tell her. "Thanks.." She says. I nod, throwing her a smile and I softly drop her hand and I walk her to her tent. "Thanks for making me feel better today, I know I'm a bit pushy when I'm sad. I just don't want to be a burden on you." She says, looking ahead. "You're never a burden on me, if anything.. I worry about you a lot." I confess.

She looks at me, "You do?" She asks. I nod, "I always hope that you'll be okay, that you don't get hurt or become sad... and I'm sorry that I was so close minded before. I should have listened to Jimin. He was right about you, he was right about everything actually. And I'm glad I finally came to my senses." Wow, I'm talking a lot. "Because I really like you Lalisa.. and I hope our feelings only grow stronger." I tell her as we stand in front of her tent.

I search her face and she's touching the braid I did on her hair. "That mochi.." She whispers. My hand is gripping the strap of my guitar. Maybe I said too much. "I hope so too.." she finally says looking up at me, her eyes sparkling. She fixes my sweater on her small body, "Good night.. my sweet Jungkook." She caresses my face before disappearing into her tent. I feel like I can do a thousand somersaults. I let out a refreshed and a relaxed breath. I'm sweet? Hehe.

**

I see a tall shadow outside my tent, I look up thinking it's Taehyung, but then I hear Jungkook's voice and the blonde talking. "I always hope that you'll be okay, that you don't get hurt or become sad... and I'm sorry that I was so close minded before. I should have listened to Jimin. He was right about you, he was right about everything actually. And I'm glad I finally came to my senses." I stare at the shadow. "Because I really like you Lalisa.. and I hope our feelings only grow stronger." I shake my head in disbelief, he's in love with me. He'd never fall for a girl like her.

They stand there for a while in silence. Ugh, say something you dumb blonde. "That mochi.." She whispers. Ha, she won't even answer him. There goes Jungkook ruining everything with his feelings, I guess he'll need a new friend to ruin too. "I hope so too.." she finally says. What? The blonde wants something more with him? Why? "Good night.. my sweet Jungkook." I lay back in my sleeping neck and look away from her side of the tent. Ugh, she's so dumb. Not even a good nights kiss, poor Jungkook. He'd drop her in a hot second and comeback to me.

And who even talks like that!? 'My Sweet Jungkook' barf!

I hear her walk into the tent, followed by a lot of shuffling. Then the sound of her sleeping bag opening and it's quiet. I toss to face her. She's still wearing his sweater!!? Why!? She's going to make it smell like a dog and chemicals. "He doesn't like you, you know." I say, she looks at me startled. Haha. She says nothing, "He's only hiding his feelings for me because he knows that Taehyung will rip him in half if he tries to take me away from him." She just stares at me. "You're not fooling anyone with your sweet little innocent act you've got going on." I spit.

"Stop talking about yourself, don't you do that enough?" She asks making my blood boil. "Shut up, wait until we get to school.. then the real fun begins." I smile, turning back to face the other side of the tent. She'll be sorry.
