At BTS dorm...

"Hobi, did you pack the melon?" Jin asked while putting the cold sandwiches he made in a container.

"Ah ne hyung, I'm done~," Hobi announced.

"Where is Jungkook tho? don't tell me he is still sleeping." Jin asked, keeping his hands on his waist.

He, Hoseok and Jungkook were supposed to go some hiking. Well, Jungkook didn't want to, but Jin wasn't taking it. So he forced the maknae to come. He wanted to have some change, especially for Jungkook. It had been a long since they had spent some leisure time together. So this was it.

It was 7 in the morning, and he and Hobi were already packing for their trip.

"He hasn't woken up, I think." Namjoon joined the conversation as he opened the fridge and picked the juice bottle out.

Just then, Jimin entered the scene in his baggy pants.

"What you guys are doing?" He asked sleepily.

"Nothing much. Preparing for hiking." Hobi answered.

"Jimin-ah, do you want some juice?" Namjoon asked, while standing in front of the cabinet.

"Oh, I will have one glass hyung." The concerned man replied as Namjoon took out two glasses from the cabinet.

"Jimin, you are going out, right?" Suddenly Hoseok asked, to which Jimin nodded.

"Ah ye, with Taehyung-"

"Here's your juice," Namjoon said, keeping the glass in front of Jimin, who was seated at the dining table.

"Jimin, will you bring Jungkook here, please? We will get late otherwise, and that bunny is still sleeping." Jin said, keeping the tiffin boxes inside his backpacks.

"Ah ne hyung," Jimin, who was wide awake by now with chatting about his hyungs in the kitchen, stood up and made his way to the younger's room.

When he reached the gate, he side glanced at the adjacent room's door.

It's been really long... He thought to himself, a sad smile latched on his face. Shaking his head, he twisted the doorknob and opened maknae's room door.

He was expecting to see the latter on the bed, but his eyebrows furrowed when he saw him at his study table. Peacefully sleeping.

"Huh? why is he on the table?" He shook his head and reached for the younger before tapping his shoulder.

Jungkook groaned, not bothering to get up.

"Yah Jungkook-ah, you are going hiking today! Jin hyung is getting mad, Get up fast!!" Jimin raised his voice on which Jungkook hastily got up.

His hair was like a bird's nest, and his eyes were barely opened.

"Shit! It's already 7! Ah, Gomawo hyung!" He quickly mumbled before dashing to his bathroom.

Jimin chuckled at his behavior. He was going outside when something fell from the table.

"huh?" Jimin exclaimed before picking up the pink paper.

Jimin's eyes became wide as he saw the letters on the letter. Two lines, one at the very top and the very bottom, caught his attention as they were bolded with colour pens. Highlighted.

Dear Y/n...

Saranghae.

His eyes became wide, but at the same time, a hand came and quickly snatched the paper before he could read anymore.

"What are you doing?" Jungkook asked, his voice cold as ice.

"A-ah, this paper fell. I was just picking it up," Jimin replied, his composure soon relaxed.

"O-h, thank you." Jungkook's voice turned soft this time. "Tell Jin hyung I will wash up and be out in 20 minutes." He said, smiling a little.

"Okay" Jimin nodded and made his way out.

At Eunji's apartment...

"Why you brought your notes Y/N-ie?" Eunji asked, combing her hair as I placed my bag on her dining table.

"Cus, one friend of mine is dragging me along with her on god knows how long trip when my Finals are going on!" I sarcastically replied as Eunji narrowed her eyes.

It was currently 9 a.m. and I was at my friend's place, after getting ready for wherever she was taking me.

Last night she threatened me to come with her for a celebration even when I had refused. I had asked her to throw a party when I was done with exams if she really wanted me to come along. Like I had my last paper after two days.

But then she blackmailed me to come along, saying she needs me to come.

What I know is she is also inviting someone, but she didn't bother to tell me, ugh.

"Gurl you will have tomorrow whole day so chill?" She said.

"Bro, it's only a day and I don't know when you will bring me back home? " I quoted home in the air.

"yeah, whatever, I'm going to get ready."

"Wait. who else have you invited?" I asked.

"you will see~," she said and entered her room to get ready, leaving me behind in the living room.

I decided to skim through a few things in the meantime.

*time skip*

I was done revising two chapters as I had decided and meanwhile, Eunji was pacing around the room.

I sighed, keeping my copy on the console which I was leaving at her place, of course.

"What are you searching for?" I asked.

"You know, those blue scrunchies of mine? I had kept them here somewhere, aish.." she said, opening the drawers.

I shook my head and joined her.

"Is this the one?" I held the light blue frill scrunchie up to show her.

"Oh, yes!!! Thankuuuuu!" she chirped, taking the band from my hand and returning to her room.

I checked myself in the mirror once. We were going out for lunch, so the outfit I picked was pretty decent and comfortable. A light pink shirt paired with blue jeans is not bad.

Let's check the YouTube notifs

I made myself comfortable on the couch and picked up my phone.

I had posted a few videos, which I had already edited in the dorm, to fill in the undefined break I had to take on YouTube.

I wonder how Jungkook is doing.

I wish he is taking care of himself.

Just the mere thought of him made me anxious, and I opened the chats again.

I don't know why he is ignoring me.

Did I do something wrong?

I had really grown close to him in those few months I stayed there, but I knew my limits.

Gosh why this is so hard?

I had thought I would at least be friends with him, or at least we will be in contact. That would have been enough for me, but...

Why I am feeling this bad when I knew that this day would come, eventually?

You should damn move on Y/n, he is an idol, and he has his own life. You should be grateful that he at least called you his friend during your stay. Stop thinking as if he is-

"Y/N-ah! Are you okay? Why are you crying?" Suddenly Eunji's voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I realized the tingling sensation in my eyes.

What is this Y/N?

"W-what?" I whispered quickly, blinking, as I don't know when my eyes got watery.

"Y/N.." She took a seat beside me and glanced over the open screen. Her face twisted when she looked at me back again.

"You are looking for his messages again..?" she asked softly as she put her arm on my shoulder.

"Yeah and.."

"He hasn't replied yet." She completed it for me.

She has become my best friend by now, who was with me through thick and thin. Even if I haven't voiced out my thoughts, I know she can feel the turmoil I was going through.

"You know very well that you can share things with me, right? I'm waiting since that very day for you to open up to me Y/N. Just let it out ok? It will be between us only." She said.

"Eunji-ah..." I turned my position so her hand was no longer on my shoulder. Taking my head in my hands, "I'm seriously so stupid."

I felt emotions surging inside me as everything was flashing right in front of my eyes.

"You know, I never in my dream thought I would encounter boys in such circumstances. Never thought that I ...would meet Jungkook in..that way. It's just...I always dreamt about how it would be like to befriend them and all but.." I sat back, turning my head away from her.

I felt her hand now firmly squeezing my shoulder, assuring me she was listening.

"but my heart is so so so stupid Eunji-ah. It needs to understand the difference between dream and reality, and reality is that he is a freaking worldwide idol. I-I t-tried Eunji... to not let any emotions involved but, I-I fell for the real Jungkook. The one I met, the one I befriended and.."

"Gosh, I'm so stupid. Getting all worked up just because this reality is in front of me." I shook my phone. "And I'm still stuck into believing." I kept my palm over my eyes.

I felt a shift beside me, and I was immediately engulfed in a hug.

"Y/N-ah...You are not stupid, ok? Having emotions is not at all stupid and Jungkook...Jungkook is a person you have been admiring for a very long Y/n-ah. It's obvious for you to catch feelings for him when you literally liked him for so long, and.." She broke the hug and pointed to my left side (a/n: the heart btw) "the person you are talking about has always been here you know. Even if you said you moved over that crazy fangirl phase. You had accepted everything and moved on, making yourself believe the reality. Because you loved him pabo. He was always here. Past events just brought the real person in the scene, to let you know how he is actually in real."

She gave me a sad smile before sitting back on the couch. I suddenly felt as if a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I returned her smile back as I kept my hand in hers.

"I dare. If it would have been in my hands, I would already take his class, you know." She chuckled, making me crack a smile, too. She knows how to light up the mood.

"But he is out of my reach as of now. I didn't talk to him that much." Her lips formed a thin line as she was going into deep thinking.

Oh yeah, she was busy with her project with Taehyung-

"On that note, what about Tae-"

Suddenly, her alarm went off as she jumped. She looked overclock and groaned, "Y/N, we are late! Taehyung must have already come!" She yelled, making me stand up as well. She checked her phone and said , " Oh damn, he is already here!"

"Wait- taehy-"

"No time for discussion," she suddenly turned me from shoulders, checking me up," go wash your face, and apply some compact quickly!" she pushed me towards the bathroom, to which I willingly entered.

Swiftly doing my work and checking my outfit the last time I jogged outside.

Is Taehyung really coming?

Suddenly, I felt self-conscious about my appearance.

Damn Eunji you-

Before I knew it, I was dragged outside the house. I barely had tied the shoelaces properly. Eunji's face practically screamed 'Panik' when we locked the apartment and ran for the stairs.

But just as we turned, a very familiar and unexpected face greeted me, or should I say us.

"Oh, you are here. I was coming to call you," Jimin said.
