<Jungkook POV>

"Noona! Why are you crying?" I asked out of concern.

Her tears just dropped. She stood there like a zombie, not even moving to wipe her tears. I took a step towards her, but what do I do? I have no clue. Should I get her a tissue? Plushie, maybe? Girls love chocolate, maybe that would stop her tears.

"Jungkook..." she repeated with shaken breaths.

The next thing I knew, she advanced towards me and clung to me. Her hands gripped to my shirt and her forehead was placed on my chest. I felt the bottom of my shirt starting to get damp from her tears.

Honestly, this frightened me at first since Noona is technically a girl, but I'm comfortable around her. So I returned the hug. Awkwardly, but I returned it.

"Noona, come inside," I said.

She let me go and sniffled while wiping away her tears with the back of her hand. She followed behind me to the couch and just sat there.

"You have a nice house." She spoke and forced out a small chuckle.

"Thank you." I said to her with a smile, "you live with V-Hyung, right?" I asked.

When I mentioned her boyfriend's name, her face darkened again. Did something happen between the two of them? She didn't answer my question. Instead, silence filled the room, only to be broken by her sniffles.

"Noona, is everything okay?" I asked her.

Her tears hastened and her sobs became more audible.

"H-He chose her, Jungkook!" She sobbed, "he stayed with Irene!"

"Irene? Why would he do that?"

"I don't know! This is all he said!" She cried even louder and showed me her phone.

After reading the message, I can tell why she's upset, but this isn't like Hyung. He isn't the type to be so blunt. Even their previous messages don't correspond with this one.

"I saw them, Jungkook! I saw them walking together holding hands!" She cried.

This definitely isn't like Hyung. I'm convinced that he was either drunk or that Irene planned this. She's been awfully close to him recently. She broke up with him so I don't think she has any right to try and get him back.

"Y/n-noona. Let me get you some tea and a blanket." I spoke.

She simply nodded at me as I made my way to the closet to get her a blanket. It's times like this that I wish I wasn't so awkward around women. I'm sorry, Noona. I'm comfortable around you, but I don't want to say something insensitive that would hurt you more.

Maybe I should make her some hot chocolate instead. I'm sure we have some cookies too. Or maybe marshmallows. I looked in the cabinets and found a box of Oreos. That should do.

I wonder if Hyung knows that she's here. Maybe I should message him.

~V-Hyung~

[hyung>
[yah! Hyung!>
[You there?>
[Dude... seriously, answer me>
[if you don't answer>
[I'll steal Tannie>
[...>

Nothing. Doesn't he have his phone? He sent Y/n a message, so he obviously has it. Maybe it died. I should call him just to make sure. What do you know? It rings.

<Hello?|

It's a woman. Irene?

|Hi. Can I talk to Taehyung?>

<here. Hold on.|

<Oh, Jungkookie, hey.|

|Don't, 'oh Jungkookie' me! Why don't you answer your messages!>

<sorry, Irene had my phone with her. What's up?|

|Why did she... you know what, never mind.
Y/n's at my place. That's all I called to say. Enjoy your shopping.>

With that, I put the phone down. Something is fishy. Hyung never lets people use his phone. I'm not even allowed to play games on it.

"Noona, here you go," I spoke out while she took the mug from me with both of her hands.

"Jungkook. I'm sorry for being such a nuisance" she spoke.

"No! You're not!" Suddenly, my phone rang. It was Hyung.

I don't think it's fair to answer his call right now, so I pressed the volume button and left it ringing silently on the table. Y/n on the other hand timidly took a sip of the contents in her mug. When she tasted it, she chuckled.

"I thought you said you were making tea." She cooed.

"Chocolate is better for the heaving heart," I replied in a joke-like manner.

She smiled at me. Well, more like forced it. Her smile. It's sad. It's filled with a sea of emotions that's she's bottling up.

"Noona, is there something else bothering you?" I asked.

"Why do you ask?" She spoke and clutched onto the mug tighter.

Damn it. Probably shouldn't have asked. She seems uncomfortable.

"You don't have to speak... if you don't want to, I mean." I raised my arms in the air defensively but she shook her head.

"This morning, Tae was talking to Jimin and they were both just talking about Irene. About her beauty." She whispered. "Tae even said that she might have looked better in the bridesmaids' dress."

Her lip was quivering and her hands grew more and more unsteady. Until, finally. She lost her composure. She broke down into tears once again. I can't stand them right now. I built up the courage and went to hug her. Now her head was on my shoulder while all that I felt was warm droplets fall wet my shirt.

Mere minutes had passed when I noticed that her hitching breath started to calm down. She had fallen asleep in my shoulder, so I gently picked her up and laid her comfortably on the couch until Tae could come.

While I was taking her mug to the kitchen, I noticed a text from Hyung. He must have sent it earlier when I ignored his call.

~V-Hyung~

<Irene's just finishing up.]
<I'll come to pick Y/n up soon.]

"Oh, Hyung. If only you knew". I thought to myself.

While waiting for Hyung, I went back to a sleeping Y/n on the sofa and played games on my phone with the volume soft. After an agonising 30 minutes, I finally heard a knock on my door. It must be Hyung. I'm worried about what might happen if he came here with Irene. Noona might start crying again. She only just calmed down.

When I opened the door, I was glad to see only one figure emerge from the darkness.

"Well, took you long enough." I taunted him while grabbing the skin of his neck. He pushed my hand away and chuckled at me.

"So, where's Y/n?" He asked.

All I did was move aside, allowing Hyung to lay eyes on Noona sleeping on the couch. He walked closer to her and noticed her tear-stained cheeks.

"Was she crying? What happened?" He turned around and faced me.

"Did you have fun shopping? Because all she could think about was you, while she was crying." I said coldly.

"Me? But she left first." He said dumbly.

"Hyung. Please take care of Noona. She deserves to be happy." I said with a hint of sadness in my voice.

All he did was nod at me. He directed his attention to Noona who was shuffling from our voices tickling her ears.

"Taehyung?" She spoke in a whisper while opening one eye to look at him from having just woken up.

"Baby? Let's go home." He crooned in her ear and helped her stand up.

This is what I prefer seeing. Not Noona crying because he abandoned her. I like seeing them act like a real couple that loves each other because that's exactly what they are.

The next day started pretty early for me. I hope that Noona and Hyung managed to sort out their issues yesterday. I believe that their love for each other will prevail, so I have no doubts.

I got to school early too. There isn't any point in staying at home with nothing to do and nobody to do it with. The hyungs wouldn't be here this early so instead, I decided to just wait at the rooftop for them. The breeze up there is great in the mornings.

To my surprise, I was beaten to it. There were already two people there. I don't want to interrupt, I'll just go back.

"Don't worry, Irene's got this."

Irene? That sounded like Ahreum's voice. It can't be.

"As long as she gets the job done. I don't care."

No way! Jimin? So... does this mean...?

"Listen, I've known her for ages now. If anyone can get Y/n to back away, it's her."

Back away? From Taehyung? Something isn't right.

"Just make sure that nobody gets hurt. Or else, this is off."

What is happening? Someone's getting hurt?

"Nobody except that slut of his."

Why, this pickle head, You better not be referring to Noona. The only slut here is that hoe.

"How do you even know this stuff? Why do you trust her so much, Ah Reum-ah?"

I knew it. It is Jimin's voice. But it doesn't make sense. He's trying to break Noona and V-Hyung up?

"My daddy knows everything. Why do you want to break them up so bad anyway."

"I just don't trust her. Taehyung is blinded by puppy love but he doesn't even know her that well. I'm worried about Taehyung is all."

Well, look who's talking. The one who doesn't give Y/n-Noona enough attention to formulate a fair impression of her.

Suddenly, as I stepped back and kicked something down the stairs. A bucket?! Was the janitor here? Damn it. They heard it. They're coming closer.

Before I knew it, Jimin was standing right in front of me.

"Jungkook? What are you doing here?"
