Third period had just ended. Yoongi and Jimin were on their way to lunch. When they got there, they sat at their usual table waiting for Namjoon, Jin, Jeongguk and Taehyung.

Namjoon walked in not long after. A few minutes later, Jin came.

"Where's Taehyung and Jeongguk?", Jimin asked.

"Don't worry. They'll be here any minute now", Namjoon said.

"Speak of the devils. There they a- Are they holding hands?!", Jin said surprised by what he was seeing, attracting the attention of the rest of the gang.

"Hi!", Taehyung said enthusiastically.

Jeongguk just smiled and stayed quiet.

"Are you guys dating?", Yoongi asked bluntly pointing at their intertwined hands.

"Oh, this? It's normal for us to hold hands. We do it all the time", Jeongguk said lifting his and Taehyung's intertwined hands so the others see better.

There was this dead silence for a while. The others seriously didn't think it was normal.

"Okay, then... Shall we get our food?", Taehyung asked trying to get rid of the awkwardness.

"Yeah!", Jimin agreed.

Taehyung let go of Jeongguk's hand and went with Jimin to get food, leaving a moody Jeongguk behind.

"Calm down. You don't need him 24/7 with you. He's not your boyfriend", Yoongi told Jeongguk rolling his eyes, earning a scoff from Jeongguk.

"Let's catch up to Jimin and Taehyung", Namjoon said.

"I don't feel like eating. You guys go", Jeongguk said.Yoongi just shrugged and left with Namjoon and Jin.

A few minutes later, Jeongguk saw Jimin heading back to their table alone.

The moment Jimin sat down, Jeongguk asked, "Where's Taehyung?"

Jimin only smirked in the process.

"He's with Bogum, sitting over there", Jimin stated pointing to a table not that close to them.

Jeongguk turned around and saw his best friend with the guy he despises most in the world.

"Are you kidding m- What the hell? Is he feeding Tae?", Jeongguk questioned irritated by the sight.

"Jeongguk shut the fuck up. He's not your boyfriend. Stop being so overly protective of him. Plus, who knows? Maybe Tae likes Bogum and Bogum likes him back. Once they start dating, it won't be your place to get mad or annoyed when they're together", Jimin said on purpose trying to get a reaction from Jeongguk. Which, by the way did.

Jeongguk snapped on the inside but decided not to say anything. Jimin's words hit him hard though he knew he shouldn't believe it.

Yoongi, and the NamJin couple arrived not long after and sat on the table.

"Oh, so Taehyung is sitting with Bogum now? Does he like him?", Yoongi asked when he saw Taehyung and Bogum sitting together.

"Don't assume. Then again, maybe you're right", Jin said looking at Namjoon for no reason.

Jeongguk had enough. It pissed him off so much he slammed his hand on the table making a big sound.

The whole cafeteria turned quiet...

He then realized what he did and walked out of the cafeteria.

"I can't believe it. Not this again. This happened yesterday!", Jimin said unbelievably.

"What a jealous rat", Yoongi said eating his food, earning a nod from the Namjin couple.

As I was thinking what food to pick with Jimin, Bogum greets me out of nowhere.

"Hey, Taehyung"

"Hey, Bogum", I greeted back.

"How about you sit with me at lunch right now?", Bogum suggested?

"What? Why?", I asked a bit confused.

"Let's make Jeongguk jealous. We may be able to find out if you have a chance with him or not", Bogum replied with a big smile on his face.

I completely forgot about the plan. Fuck.

"Yeah, let's give it a try", I said excited but also nervous.

"Will you help us out Jimin?", Bogum asked.

"Definitely!", Jimin replied with excitement.

"Great", Bogum said.

We then got our foods and I left with Bogum. When we sat down, I saw Jimin talking to Jeongguk. He then pointed at our table and Jeongguk turned around to look at us.

"Quick! Take a bite out of this Tae", Bogum said while lifting up his spoon in front of my face. I leaned in and put the spoon in my mouth and ate the rice.

Bogum and I discretely looked over to Jeongguk who wasn't looking at us anymore.

Bogum shrugged not really understanding why he wasn't looking. Maybe he doesn't care?

About a minute later, we hear a loud noise coming from the gang's table.

We see Jeongguk standing up with his hand on the table. He slammed his hand on it?! What?! Why?!

The cafeteria was dead silent and Jeongguk left with an irritated look on his face.

This looks very familiar. Didn't something similar happen yesterday? Forget this!

"I'll go check on him. Thanks for trying, Bogum", I said and went after him.

"Jeongguk!! Wait!!", I called out trying to catch up.

He then stopped and turned around. Thank goodness.

I caught up to him and gave him a hug.

"You looked angry just now. You know you can talk to me, right?", I said hugging him tighter. He hasn't hugged me back yet. That's.. weird.

"It's not like you'd care. Go back to your crush, Bogum", he said with venom in his voice.

Oh.. so he was jealous? Maybe it's because he thought I'd forget him if I were to like Bogum. I just wish it was because he liked me.

"I don't feel attracted to Bogum in the slightest", I stated breaking the hug, looking at him intensely.

"You don't?", he questioned eyeing me suspiciously.

"Nope", I said proudly.

"Tae.. you're my best friend. We don't keep secrets from each other. So, tell me. Do you really not like him?", he said with a serious look.

"I really don't. We're just friends", I stated once again.

He pushed his bangs backwards with his right hand and said, "Fuck. I thought you'd forget about me."

I was right. It really was because he thought he'd get replaced. Well, it's cute. At least, he cares for his role in my life.

"Never", I said giving him my signature box smile.

He then engulfed me in a hug and I hugged back. This right here is what I needed.

"Mine", he mumbled which I heard making me a blushing mess.

He means that as a best friend,.. right?

———

The bell had rung at dismissal. Finally, no more school! I called Jeongguk to remind him that I would be staying at school today and that he should go home without me. He started whining at first but then complied.

I met up with Jimin at the basketball court not long after.

"You ready to blow their minds with your choreography and our amazing moves?", Jimin asked with sass.

"You bet I am"

"Just you wait, Jeon Jeongguk"
