Seokjin's Pov:

I laid in my bed while looking at my notebook that Taehyung had written his number on, contemplating if I should text him or not. I wasn't even sure how I would start the conversation. It would have been so much better if he had asked for my number, then maybe I would not have been left with the responsibility to reach out to him.

"Gosh, why does this always happen to me!" I screamed out and drop the book on the floor, deciding that I was not going to text him. I didn't need to embarrass myself any more than I had already done.

I picked up my phone and decided to scroll through my Instagram instead. Everyone on my feed seems like they were having fun, which was interesting, especially considering it was a Monday. Jimin had posted a picture with him, Hoseok, Yoongi, and Taehyung; it seems as though they were out at a cafe.

I tapped on the picture to see that Jimin had tagged Taehyung's account. I didn't waste any time before clicking on it, hoping that it wasn't private, and to my surprise, it was not private! I let out a loud squeal in excitement. Immediately stopping myself as I looked at myself in the mirror that was across from my bed as I realized how pathetic I might have seemed.

As I settled down, I began scrolling through his Instagram. He had a lot of scenic and aesthetic photos, I realized a lot of which he had taken. I would have never pegged him for a photographer. His pictures were lovely. I almost screenshotted a few, but then I was worried that he might be alerted that I did, can't trust technology anymore.

While scrolling through, I noted that he had a dog, one that he seemed very close with. They had some adorable pictures together, which made me smile in aww. I couldn't contain my smile when I came upon a video with the two of them, it seems like he was trying to show off some of his dog's tricks.

He looked a lot different when he was with his dog almost as if he was someone I could approach if I saw him outside, but that was if I hadn't seen him in school and judging from our interaction today, I doubt he was very friendly. Although I wasn't sure at the same time, he approached me first, but then again, he is an extrovert, always throwing parties and stuff.

As I was scrolling up on his profile, it refreshed to show a new post he posted. He was lying in bed, seeming like he had just taken a shower looking as handsome as ever, causing me to blush as I took in how good he looked.

I tried zooming into the picture but accidentally hit the liked button.

"oh crap, oh crap!" I screamed and dropped my phone to the floor. "Oh my gosh, he is going to think I am a creep now." I fall onto my bed and screamed into my pillow. "how could I be so stupid!" I am not even following him, he is definitely going to think I am a creep.

"Wait, I need to unlike it."

I jump off the bed and reach for my phone and opened back the Instagram app hoping it would still be on his page, but it wasn't. I had to go through Jimin's page to get back to his account. I clicked on the picture and unliked it, letting out a sigh of relief once I was done.

I can't believe I had just done that. I hope he doesn't see it and thinks I am a creep or anything because I am really not. If he calls me out on it, I can say I was doing it for research purposes to understand my partner for our project.

Does that even make sense?

"I don't know, leave me alone."

********

After finishing up my homework for class the next day, I decided to get something to eat. My parents weren't home, which was no surprise, but my mother had left me food to eat. I guess they weren't going to be back today.

Sharing myself some food and taking bottled water, I walk back up to the third floor to my room. That was the one thing I loved about our home, I had a level to myself which meant I didn't have to deal with seeing my parents much, not that I mind, but I preferred it that way.

My father had decided he had enough of my gaming and the sounds I would make while playing, so he caved and gave me the floor to myself after two years of me pleading with him. I don't even know why he didn't want me to move my room from the second floor to the third, it made no sense.

I remember him thinking it was because I had a boyfriend, I don't know how to tell him that the only I knew about a boyfriend, is the word itself. It's not that I was ugly or anything, I really didn't find myself to be. I considered myself to be decent, but I think my loner personality kept people away from me.

Once I was back in my room, I sat on my bed and started to eat. I knew if my mother was home, she would probably pull me by my ear for doing that, but she is not, so I get to be my own boss for today. I groan out loud when I realize that I didn't take a picture of my food. I usually like to take a picture of whatever I was eating, I guess you could say I was a major foodie. Besides reading, video games, being a loner, I love food! Food and a good book made everything better.

Jimin and I use to bond over food too, but then as soon as high school came around, he got very conscious of his weight. I didn't care about my weight because no matter what I ate, I either lose weight or stated the same. I guess that is probably one of the reasons why he and I aren't so close anymore. He wants to experience other things in life while I want to experience different restaurants in our city.

I like going out to eat because it doesn't require you to talk like all the other activities. Talking is not something I like to do unless I am talking to myself. Weirdly enough, I enjoy talking to myself, but it might be because I won't judge myself too harshly.

I hear a ping on my phone, and I pick it up to look at it only to see a text from an unknown number. I ignored it. It was probably a scam anyway.

After I was done eating, I showered and got ready for bed. Laying in bed, I decided it was a good time to play some games. I usually did that until I fall asleep. Picking my phone up, I noticed I had gotten a total of three messages along with a missed call from the unknown number that had texted me before and one message from Jimin.

I frown and open the messages from the unknown number to see who it was. My eyes almost popped out of my head when I realized who had texted me.

Unknown:
I thought I told you to text me your availability, not like and unlike my picture.

Unknown:
If you are going to stalk my page, shouldn't you make your page public so it can be mutual?

Unknown:
Answer your phone.

Jimin:
Hey Jin, how are you doing? Listen, I gave V your number. He called and asked me about it. Said y'all working on the project together, and he forgot to get it from you earlier. I hope you don't mind. Also, can you let me know if you are free this Saturday?

"Why is this happening to me?" I screamed into my pillow.
