"If we deny love that is given to us, if we refuse to give love because we fear pain or loss, then our lives will be empty, our loss... greater"

-Oprah Winfrey

Good morning. Yeah, today is a good morning, a really good one. My best-friends are with me and we are going to meet the hyungs and Kookie today. Finally, after the horrible week I can have a good time. I took today off from library and my shifts. I woke up first, those two were still sleeping. I brushed normally since, there was no hurry for anything. I showered and changed to my high-neck turquoise pullover and jeans.

"Simmi. Nishi. Wake up" I shouted in their ears.

"Let me sleep Noor. Don't start your 'early morning' lecture now" Simmi said. Yeah, 'early morning' lecture. I am an early morning person so, I like to wake up early...... Simmi put a pillow on her head.

"5 more minutes" Nishi said still not opening her eyes.

"Come on. We are going to be late. I can bet Nishi doesn't wants to be late for meeting Jiminie" I said. There, I touched a nerve of Nishi's. and it worked, she jumped up from bed and started getting ready. I smiled at her clumsiness. She almost fell down while jumping from bed.

"You, cheater, how can you do this to me?" Simmi yelled at Nishi after she got to know that she was the only one left in her team of sleepyheads.

"Get up now, there's no use of yelling at Nishi now" I said pulling down her blanket. She threw a pillow at me; but I caught it before it could hit my face. That was all that we needed to start a pillow fight. I got up on the bed and started attacking her with the pillow; she defended me and attacked at me occasionally. We messed the whole bed. After the pillow fight we started laughing at our own stupidity. Nishi came out of the bathroom, towel-drying her hair.

"What are you two laughing at, so much?" she asked both of us furrowing her brow.

We chuckled one last time. Simmi went for her shower and I had to pay for pillow-fighting. I had to deal with the messed bed. While Simmi was showering, me and Nishi prepared our breakfast. Simmi was done with her dressing and getting ready, so, she joined us immediately for breakfast.

"It's so cold today!!!" Simmi yelled in the middle of our breakfast.

"What do you expect now? That it will be a spring day, in the first week of January? The cherry blossoms are flying with the breeze.... The air is filled with the smell of lavenders...." I started making fun of Simmi...fantasizing the spring season.

"Ah~ you two!!!! Leave it. I am so done with both of you" Simmi said, getting irritated by me. I laughed at that.

"Wait a minute. I didn't even say anything to you and you are so done with me.... Wow" Nishi said sarcastically.

"Oh, you didn't? I thought...." Simmi said apologetically to Nishi. I laughed more at that. Simmi got a death glare from Nishi.

We finished our breakfast with our usual bickering. We washed up our plates.

"Noor, what are you going to do with your hair?" Nishi asked me about my hairstyle. I had no idea what I was going to do.

"Umm.... I don't know yet"

"Then, let me do it for you. I want you to look good" Nishi said with a smile.

"Okay. If you wish." I didn't mind that. Nishi was really good at such things.

She sat me in front of my dressing table and started doing something with my hair. I closed my eyes. It felt good when Nishi styled my hair. It felt like a massage. It was good. After at least half-an-hour, she was done. I opened my eyes and I didn't saw myself but someone beautiful. She is a genius, she completely changed my look. But she kept my face make up free since, she knew I hate make up. My hair was styled up nicely from the front and my back hair were left open. That was a thing that I did rarely.

Nishi told me give a call to Jungkook before we head for their dorm. I called him. It is ringing... ringing... ringing....

"He is not picking up my call" I said being disappointed. This has never happened before. Whenever I called him, he picked it up in the third ring. What is the matter today?

"Call him again. Maybe he didn't hear it or was busy" Nishi encouraged me.

"Yeah, you are right" I was thinking too much, it may happen. I called him again. Ringing... ringing... ringing...

He didn't pick it again. I am kind of scared now. Is he angry or something....? I can't bear that. But I did nothing to offend him. I called Jin hyung. Ringing... ringing....

"Hello?" Jin hyung answered. Thank god, at least he picked up my call.

"Jin hyung... hello. I am Noor"

"Oh~ Noor. Yes, are you and your friends are coming today?" he asked me.

"Yes, we are coming after an hour or two. I called to notify you" after a breath I asked him... "Jin hyung, Kookie is not picking up my call, can you hand the phone to him? I want to talk to Jungkook"

"Umm... yes. Why not...." I heard footsteps as soon as he said that. He must be walking to Jungkook's room. "Jungkookie, I have Noor, on line for you" Jin hyung said to Kookie.

"Jin hyung, please go away. I don't want to talk to her. And please ask her not to call me again" my heart was breaking into pieces, hearing that from Kookie. I couldn't think of anything. My mind went blank.

"Noor, I am sorry...." I hung up the phone. I stood blank there. I had no idea what I've done. Why was he so angry? What have I done? I don't even know what I have done to make him so angry.... He was not receiving my calls on purpose... my tears started rushing out of my eyes. I sat on the couch and let my silent tears wash away from my face.

"Hey, why are you crying? What's the matter?" Simmi ran to me and started wiping my tears. I couldn't say anything. I was not in a condition to be able to say anything. My heart was aching. I've never felt so much pain before. Kookie didn't want to talk to me......

"Noor, stop crying...." Simmi said again. I pulled her in for a hug and cried in her lap. I think Simmi called Nishi too because she was there in a moment, beside me, consoling me.

"Stop crying and now tell me what happened" Nishi said softly to me.

"Kookie doesn't wants to talk to me" I said finally, after crying for about 20 minutes.

"I don't know what have I done. He said, he doesn't want me to even call him anymore" I said crying again. They were silent. What else can they do.... There was nothing they could do.... They knew how bad I was feeling right now...

"Let's go and seek answer from Jungkook" Nishi said with a sudden energy.

I had nothing much to say. We headed for BTS's dorm and sat inside a cab. I sat quietly staring out of the window, thinking, what wrong I have done. I didn't want our friendship to end so soon, leave 'soon', I didn't want it to end ever. Is this the end? This question kept on haunting me as I sat quietly inside the cab. Simmi and Nishi were silent throughout the journey. That was awkward. Generally, whenever I am sad, they keep on consoling me, they don't stop their talking until and unless I am back to my normal self. Today, they were silent.

We reached at the dorm in a few minutes. Nishi paid the cab while Simmi and I got inside the building. Jimin was standing there to welcome us. He greeted us and guided us through the confusing building. We reached their room. Jimin sent me to Kookie's room and left me there. I sat on one of the couch quietly and hung my head low. I saw the door opening and Jungkook entered the room. He walked silently and gracefully towards me. I stood up and looked at him.

He started walking towards me. I couldn't understand what he was going to do with me. I started backing off. He kept on walking towards me slowly.... With such a serious face. He was not scary, but he was serious. He was like the lion, walking towards its prey after getting the knowledge that the prey has no chance of escaping from him. We kept looking each at other in the eyes.

My back touched the cold wall. I stuck to the wall. He was still coming forward and stopped when only a few inches gap was left between us.

He kept one of his hands on the wall and moved his face a bit closer to mine. He looked straight into my eyes. I kept staring at him with a worried expression. I had no idea what was going on, what is going to be his next move.... 

Author's Note:

Oh no!!! That's a big problem. Why would Kookie do that to Noor? What wrong has she done? Did Elliot do something? It's so messed up. Is this really the end? I can't even think of the end right now. Please let this not be the end..... 

So dramatic, right? I too think so. I was in a dramatic mood. Let's be serious. What do you think about it? Is this the end? But their friendship just started, and they were best-friends. What do you think is going to be Kookie's next move? I hope that it's not the end yet.... 

I hope you liked the chapter. Please leave your reviews and comments for me, I love reading them. 

Happy reading.
