"Isn't it obvious? We're just best friends. Nothing more. Nothing less"

Who would have thought that words as simple as those could hurt so much? Just best friends? I don't even know if that's what we are anymore. At least, it doesn't feel like that. Do you really feel that way?

Hoseok must've noticed my reaction. We locked gazes and he smiled at me. I smiled back.

"Taehyung!! Come over here!!", someone called out and that person was Bogum.

I believe I need a break from all of this. Maybe Bogum will help me feel better if I talk to him about it. Sure, I have the rest of the gang but I don't think I should go to them for this. Maybe they'll spill it to Kookie. No, thanks.

I was gonna get up until Jeongguk held me tighter.

Why?... Just why?...

"Don't go over to him. Stay with me, please", Jeongguk pleaded.

"Kookie... I won't replace you if that's what you're thinking but I also need to spend time with Bogum", I said.

He hesitated at first but soon let me go.

I got up but before I walked over to Bogum, I kissed Jeongguk on his nose and left.

AH!! WHY DID I DO THAT?! WHAT AN IDIOT!!

I don't believe it... He kissed me on my nose. He's never done that before or kissed me in general. Did he do it to reassure me?

Whatever it was for, I liked it. Wait no, I loved it and I for sure looked forward to more of it in the future.

I then started eating with a smile on my face.

"Is he that happy Tae left?", Hoseok asked.

"Are you dumb?? He's like that because Tae kissed him", Jin stated.

"He's so in love. I can't with him", Yoongi said.

"Wait, hold up. I'm not in love with Taehyung. He's just my best friend", I said.

"Yeah and Chim here is just my brother", Yoongi said sarcastically.

"I mean it!!", I practically almost yelled.

"Calm down Kook. Excuse us for assuming", Namjoon said with an apologetic look.

I only hummed in response.

"Look!! One of your girlfriends is flirting with another guy", Hoseok said pointing at a direction.

I didn't bother to look and just said, "I don't have a girlfriend and I could care less if they flirt with other guys."

"Is that Bogum kissing Taehyung on the lips??!", Jimin questioned with a shocked face.

I quickly turned around to see Bogum and Taehyug chatting.

"Fuck you", I swore as I glared Jimin for lying.

They laughed at me.

"Don't swear at my boyfriend Kook", Yoongi said while hugging Jimin.

"Tch. Whatever", I rolled my eyes and continued eating.

I made my way to Bogum and sat next to him.

He smiled and I smiled back.

"Sorry I called you over here. I noticed your expression and I figured your friends weren't helping much. Is that fine?", he said.

I knew I did the correct thing by coming here.

"Thank you. It's perfectly fine. In fact, I wanted to talk to you about something. Would that be okay?", I said.

"I mean, I did call you out over here for that reason, did I not?", he chuckled.

"You're right. Well,... you see... I like someone and I think it may not be 'like' but love instead", I stated.

"Jeongguk, right?", he questioned.

Woah. He knew? Guess it was obvious.

"Yeah... but you know how he is. A big flirt with hot girls. I don't think I suit his ideal type and maybe I'm not attractive for him", I said.

I looked up at Bogum who was listening intensely. He reassured me to keep going which I did.

"Yet, lately... he's become more uh.... protective and flirty? I don't know. He calls me pet names like 'love' and 'baby' and it just sends me over the edge. He holds me delicately by my waist and likes it when I sit on his lap. The way he whispers in my ear gives me goosebumps. His voice is soothing to listen to as well. He has a good body. His abs and his thighs are to die for. Didn't mean to sound sexual there. Excuse me. He sometimes looks at me like I'm his only one and talks to me as if I was his lover. It makes me really happy but I was friend zoned. He had just said not to long ago that we were nothing more than best friends. It broke me, you know?", I confessed.

"Woah.. That was wow... You really love him, don't you? Based on what you told me, I think he may love you back but is just to dense to realize. Well, I think I may know a way to help you. I'll text you the details today after school, alright?", he said holding my hand to comfort me.

I smiled and thanked him.

I then saw Jeongguk heading out of the cafeteria a bit bothered. I looked over to my friends that were sitting with him and they just shrugged.

"Once again, thank you Bogum. I appreciate you a lot. I'll go check on Jeongguk now. Let's talk later", I said and went after Jeongguk.

I chased him all the way to the balcony of the school. He didn't notice me yet. He was busy looking at the sky. Woah, he looks really nice. I blushed. Stop that Taehyung!

Did he perhaps come to relax? Was I overthinking? Yeah, maybe.

I was gonna go back til I heard him say to the sky, "I miss you. Heck, we saw each other a few minutes ago. Why am I like this?"

Huh? Who's he talking about? I wanna know!!

"Koo!!", I yelled walking up to him and hugged him.

TAEHYUNG!! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?! WHY DID YOU-

"Baby", Jeongguk called out and I locked my gaze with his.

He leaned in and...

I had discreetly looked over to Taehyung and Bogum.

I saw Bogum holding Taehyung's hand. I had enough and left the cafeteria. Fuck it. Why do I get so jealous easily? He should be able to do what he wants but the thought of it just angers me. I can't take it!

I went to the balcony of the school on the third floor.

I then looked at the sky. Funny. Why am I still thinking of you Tae when looking at the sky? I'm supposed to be clearing my mind. Yet, the thought of you is already so refreshing to my mind.

"I miss you. Heck, we saw each other a few minutes ago. Why am I like this?", I said while looking at the scenery.

"Koo!!", I heard someone call out my name.

I know that voice way too well.

He then gave me a hug.

Fuck!! I missed his touch. I won't even deny that.

"Baby", I called out to him.

He looked at me with curious eyes and I leaned in to kiss his forehead.

"I missed you", I said and his eyes widened.

Wait, he was talking about me?? No way... I'm so happy!!

I showed him my famous box smile and replied with, "I missed you too Koo."

He froze...

I can't.. he's just so... I know I shouldn't but I'm going for it. I went for my gut and kissed him on the lips passionately.

I don't care if he's just my best friend. I wanted this and I went for it.

His lips felt so soft and nice. I wanted more. What the hell??

Now I'm starting to wish this really was in slow motion.
