Chapter 22
Yoongi
Why did she do that?
That's what I'm thinking right now every time my mind replayed the scene where the red paint spilled on her button-up.
"I hope her mom doesn't saw that red paint."
That was another thing I'm thinking of. What if her mother saw? What will she do? I feel so messy right now so I went to the forest to smoke. When I've arrived there, I took out the box and stare at it for awhile.
"Stop smoking, will you?"
Her voice echoed in my mind as I sighed in frustration and shoved the box back in my pocket.
"Thinking about Solji?"
I was startled to see Yoon were there with a camera on her hands. I rolled my eyes and look away from her.
"Why do you even care?"
She scoffed at me and went forward, leaving me dumbfounded. She's so weird. I turned around to see behind her but, is she alone? Where's Jungkook? I look at her backview but she just vanished away. I went toward her direction hastily to find her but when I reached this one spot, I saw her capturing a picture of the trees as the autumn leaves fell down on her. She looks beautiful just by standing there.
"Beautiful sight, aren't it?"
An arm hang on my shoulder as I look at my side. It was Jungkook, flashing a warm smile toward Yoon. I pursed my lips.
"Do you perhaps... like her?"
I blurt. He look at me in disbelief and chuckle a bit before looking back at the girl.
"Everyone like her. I'm just afraid that I'd lose her. That's all."
"Then why don't you date each other?"
He look at me once again and took away his arm from my shoulder as he shove it in his pocket.
"We have no feelings toward each other. That's the matter."
He mutter as he smile to me. I was a bit confused with them. Boys and girls doesn't usually last in friendship but them? I'm impressed.
"Gotta blast!"
He exclaimed and called Yoon's name before playfully hung his arm on her shoulder. They then teased each other with Yoon hit him sometimes and vanished away from my sight. How can they manage not to have any feelings to each other? Maybe because they're just friends or they're keeping it by themselves?
I sighed in frustration and ruffled my hair before I left the forest. My mind kept thinking about Solji over and over again even when I tried my hard to stop thinking about her. What an effect. Tch.
I decided to went to a cafe for a drink. Unexpectedly, I saw Solji there, alone. She was staring at her drink blankly and her face looks troubled. I sighed and ignored her to order my drink on the counter. Without me knowing, I kept glancing at her every now and then.
"Here's your drink, kid."
Said the man as I turned to him and smile before I paid for it. I need to get out of here. It's suffocating. Just when I decide to went out, I saw some stranger were making her uncomfortable there. Gosh, what the hell is happening now? I tried to ignored her but still, I still have this kind of shit inside me. Being a kind ass. I draw my steps there and pat on the man's shoulder.
"Excuse me, can I take that seat?"
The man look offended that he awkwardly stood up and walked away. I sit down across her. She was just looking at me blankly which makes me a little bit uncomfortable. But then she stood up.
"If you're doing to thank me about earlier, stop. I'm not doing that for you."
She said as she walked out of the cafe. I sighed. I think it's really hard to make friends in this school. God damn it. I decided to leave the damn cafe and went back home. What a fucking awful day. Being insulted, ignored, and confused.
Yoon
I was capturing some pictures with this asshole beside me keeps begging me to take his photo. I ignored him but you know him. He's way too ridiculous.
"Yoon-ah~ Just once~ Please~"
He pleaded but I shook my head and take the picture of a wild flower at the tree trunk. He then sighed heavily and sit on the dried leaves, sulking. I turned around to see him pouting his lips and crossed his arms. He look exactly like a kid sulking because his parents doesn't buy him toys or something.
"What? Are you protesting?"
He didn't reply me as I rolled my eyes in annoyance. I shrugged and walked away from him to find another beautiful things that live there. He was still there, not moving. I decided to take his picture secretly since he wasn't looking at me. I smile when I look at his picture. Cute.
"Yah, stop sulking! You're staying with me tonight!"
He immediately look at me in shocked as I smile. This idiot.
"Really?!"
I hummed in reply and went back to find something. He rushed toward me and give me a warm back hug before he pull me up.
"I love you, baby."
I scoffed at him and hit his head. He only acted like this whenever I made him happy. Tch. He let off me and rub his head while grinning at me. See, he only sulked for awhile. What an idiot.
"Yoon."
"What is it again, Jeon?"
I reply as I look through the pictures that I took. He shook my shoulder lightly as I look at him with annoyance.
"What?"
His face cringed which made me almost burst in laughter. What's with that face though?
"Can we go back now?"
"Why? What happened to you, dude?"
He point out his trembling finger behind me as I turned around. My eyes widened when I saw a huge snake on the leaves.
"Fuck it! Run!"
I grabbed his wrist and run back to the pool as fast as we can. I think that freaking thing were following us. Oh my God, please save us from that nasty thing.
"Yah, faster!"
Jungkook exclaimed as I fasten the pace toward the abandoned pool and jump in there. I fall on him as he quickly grab me up to the worn out mattress, staying as far as we can from the railings. We pant hardly, trying to catch our breath while staring at the wall.
"That... was close."
He pant. I nodded my head a little before I gulp.
"I thought my life ends here. God damn it!"
We then lay down on the bed while catching our breath, staring the sky that were getting dark since it's almost 7 pm. Then my phone rang. I took it out from my pocket and answer it since it was dad.
"Dad."
["Yoon, are you home?"]
"Not yet. Why? Is anything happened?"
["I won't be home for 3 days because I had work outside of Seoul. Take care of yourself while I'm gone. Bring Jungkook home if you feel lonely. I'll call you often."]
"Okay, dad. Gosh, this isn't the first time you work outside of Seoul. I'm a big girl already."
I heard my dad laughed at me, nagging at him as I smiled.
["I'm just worried about you. You're the only one I had right now."]
"You're the only one I had too."
I teased. He giggled at me before he start speak up.
["Alright, then. I'll get going. Put me on loud speaker. I need to talk to Jungkook."]
I snapped Jungkook's stomach as he immediately sit upright and I click on the loud speaker on my phone. He look at the phone screen as his eyes widened.
["Jeon Jungkook, are you there?"]
"Oh, yes, Mr Kim. What is it?"
["Please take care of my princess while I'm gone for 3 days. Make sure she eats, sleeps and study well. If she cries, make sure to comfort her. And, you guys..."]
I heard him sighing as I look at Jungkook in confusion. I bite my lower lip.
["Aigoo, stop fighting with each other already. It's been 7 years you've been friends."]
We laughed at his statement before Jungkook salute at the phone with his bunny smile on.
"Alright, sir! The knight will take care of his princess very well. Don't you worry even a bit."
He said. Dad laughed at his jokes as I rolled my eyes, looking at him arrogantly smile at me.
["Alright. I put my trust on you, Jeon Jungkook. Now, I'll get going. See you in 3 days. Bye."]
"Bye, dad. Take care of yourself!"
"Bye, father in-law!"
I glared at Jungkook who was grinning at me. Dad only laughed before he mutter an okay and hung up the call. He surely approve Jungkook as his son-in-law if he ever proposed to me. Gosh!
"Yah, let's go to the art gallery."
I look at my wrist watch as I nod in approval. We then stood up and made our way out of the forest. We talked a lot, laughed a lot, teased a lot which made people around us smile, thinking that we're couple but ugh, me dating this bastard? I don't know what is life anymore.
"Yah! Let's grab some ice cream first."
He said as he point out to the ice cream stall nearby. I just nodded at him. We went there. There's quite a lot of people buying there so we had to queue behind.
After 5 minutes, we're in front of the stall and we're the last one. What a good sight.
"Can we have..."
Our eyes widened to see the one that actually on the counter was Min Yoongi. He works? He look shocked too to see us as he look away to the screen.
"What flavor, miss?"
"Mint and chocolate, please."
He just nod and told me the amount of the price before he went to take the ice cream. I look at Jungkook.
"Am I dreaming?"
"I think I'm the one that was dreaming right now."
We then look back in front to see Yoongi handing out our ice cream. We're actually in dazed when we look at them. Why does he have to work? Is he a poor student or what?
"Is there anything else you want, miss?"
He asked. I chuckled a bit. He look ashamed by what's his doing though. Jungkook then ordered another ice cream and paid for it.
"Here you go."
"That's yours. You did a great job today."
Jungkook said, putting him in dazed as I giggled at his reaction. We then left him dumbfounded in the stall and went to the art gallery. I glance behind me to see him. He was actually staring at the ice cream for awhile before he eventually lick it a little. I smiled before I turned to in front.
"You're actually a Prince charming, Jeon."
He chuckled at me and hung his arm on my shoulder casually as he licked on his ice cream.
"Prince charming of yours, am I right?"
I scoffed at him and pinch his left cheek playfully. How can he be this smooth with me though? I almost got swayed.
We then arrived at the art gallery just after we've finished our ice cream. Once again, we'll get aesthetic mind whenever we was the paintings. It was way too beautiful to see. It made my heart calm but at the same time, I miss my brother a lot.
We saw a great painting of a flock of birds flying freely in the blue sky. I secretly complimented the painting.
"I want our friendship to be free like birds. Without any obstacles and shits."
"Well, I hope I can love you freely as a friend, boyfriend, prince charming, fuckbuddy, brother just whatever you wanted to be called."
"That's so smooth, Kim Yoon."
"I learned it from you."
He ruffled my hair playfully as we went to the other paintings. We kept complimented it and said all those aesthetic shit of words while letting our mind flying freely without any stressful shit. I love this feeling. The feeling of him being beside me.
Thank you, Jeon. At least I'm not that lonely.
