I didn't see Jungkook this morning. I walked alone, so I was a little uneasy. I haven't walked alone since my first day. He's usually always walking past my house by the time I'm out the door. If I'm not out on time, he'll text me to ask where I am or if I'm going. Today I was on time, but he wasn't there. I didn't get a text either. Maybe he's sick.

I made it to school on my own. Passing the other students as I made my way up the steps to my first period. It felt awkward because I knew people were looking. It was the same way everyone looks at Taehyung passed by. I get looks like that all the time now that I'm in that friend group. Seeing girls eye me is pretty weird. Seeing guys glance is a little awkward too. I'm not used to being looked at. I also wouldn't look at any of them when I like Jungkook as much as I do.

Once I close enough to see inside the class, I saw Taehyung at his desk. The class was empty as usual. He was talking to someone. I was quiet as I looked to the seat next to him. Jungkook was sitting there. I felt a bit upset knowing that meant he didn't walk with me on purpose then.

The class had two doors. One in the front of the room, and one in the back. Taehyung's desk was fairly close to the back. The door closest to the front was left open while the one in the back was shut.

I walked over to that one and quietly rested my head against the frame. I wanted to know if Jungkook was mad at me or something. If maybe he left early to talk about me. If what they're talking about has nothing to do with me, then of course I'll back off. I'll just walk around until the bell rings.

"What do you think of Jimin?" Jungkook asked.

He is going to talk about me! I hope he isn't mad or knows I like him yet. I don't fit his interest, so it's embarrassing.

"Jimin? He's a good friend." I heard Taehyung reply.

"Yeah. Is that all though? Not cute or sweet or-"

Does he think I'm sweet and cute? Even if I'm bulky? Even if my cheeks are too chubby? I wish.

"What are you trying to ask?" Taehyung didn't seem to want to drag the conversation out. He got right to the point.

Is Jungkook going to ask for his opinion on me because he likes me too? Taehyung's so sweet. I hope he gives me a good review. If my looks aren't enough, then maybe my personality could be.

"Do you like him?"

My smile fell. That's not the question I was hoping for at all. I was looking moreso for a "should I go for him?". I guess I can understand why he'd ask. Taehyung has been very touchy and flirty. He's a whole lot more hands on with me than he is Jungkook. He couldn't through. I mean, I'm so not a flower boy. Taehyung and Jungkook are so similar, I wouldn't be surprised if Taehyung has the same type too.

"What? No- Of course not. He's like- like a close friend"

"Liar"

I wonder why Jungkook's so curious about it. I can see why he'd think Taehyung could like me. I don't know why it should be anything for him to worry over.

"Am not." I could hear Taehyung getting defensive.

"You were pissed off when he asked me to hang out too" Jungkook laughed after he said that.

"Shut up. I was not"

"Hm. Alright then"

I'm glad Taehyung doesn't like me in all honesty. He's great, perfect boyfriend material even, but he's not the one I have my eyes on. I think I'd be a little upset if Taehyung said yes. If he did then my chances with Jungkook would have plummeted right now and here. I wouldn't even be able to tell him today either. Thankfully, that's not the case.

"I wasn't" Taehyung clarified.

"You like him. Come on, it's obvious. You're suffocatingly sweet to him"

Why is Jungkook pushing so hard with this? Could he possibly like me? Maybe he just wants to make absolute sure Taehyung doesn't have feelings for me. Maybe he'd be just as upset as I would have been if he'd said yes. Ah, I'm probably wrong. I just wish that was the case.

"I don't. I'm sweet to him because I'm sweet to everyone"

"Not to me" Jungkook argued back.

"Because you're annoying"

"Got me there"

"Ah just kidding." "But Jungkook-ah, leave the topic alone. I don't like him like that"

"Taehyung-ah, we've been friends our whole lives. I know you like the back of my hand."

Taehyung didn't say anything after that. I turned to glance inside to see Taehyung looking at his textbook. Jungkook opened his phone and began to type. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket not too long after he stopped. He messaged me.

The message read "Sorry I left early to study math with Taehyung. You make it to school?". I smiled down at my phone. He obviously wasn't studying, but the fact that he thought to text me and check on me was enough. I replied back "That's ok! Yeah, I'm going to class now". I sent it and as soon as I heard his phone ding, I walked inside.

Both boys head's looked my direction. I shot them an eye smile and waved.
