Taehyung's POV

"Who's that?" Jungkook asked after Y/N left right away after passing me my file, and I smiled, seeing how intrigued he looked.

"Why?" Looking at the boy whose eyes were fixed on the girl who was still visible in our eyesight, Jungkook turned to look at me with his wide doe eyes.

"What do you mean, why? Is she your girlfriend? That's how she's in your house, isn't it?"

Pointing to the file on my hand now, I scoffed at how simple minded he was.

Y/N being in my house only meant one thing to Jungkook.

"She's my housemate,"

"Housemate? You rent it out? The house Seokjin hyung and Namjoon hyung sometimes crash over whenever exam or tests are coming? Did she know that you're the house owner? Why didn't you tell me?"

The boy be throwing out questions in one breath faster than a rapper, and it amazed me that I could actually understand all of them.

"Yes, housemate. Technically, my mom did. Yes, that house. And yes, she knows. And I didn't tell you because I know you're such a gossiper," answering short for each question, Jungkook rolled his eyes at my last sentence.

But he didn't deny because he knew it's true.

Jungkook was a shy boy when he first came to this school, but now he's everyone's favorite boy.

Either they would try to flirt with him, or they'd treated him like their beloved younger brother, or spoiled him like a baby.

That's how everyone treated him in this school, from the dean, the lecturers, the seniors, his classmates, all the way to the aunties in the cafeteria, and uncles from the gardens.

He was loved by all.

"You treat her different, or is it just me?" This almost-like-brother of mine continued his interrogation again, and I was happy to give him his answers.

"You're correct,"

"Do you like her? Since when?" His eyes sparkled with more curiosity when I agreed to his previous question, and my smile stayed on my face.

"I do. She took my attention since first year, but she didn't know that" thinking of Y/N, my answer seemed to piqued Jungkook's interest even more.

"How?"

"I don't remember, but when I realized it, my eyes are always following her around whenever we were in the same area,"

"You fell in deep, hyung. No wonder you're not looking for anyone anymore, you have someone you want already. Why didn't you tell her?" He clicked his tongue looking at me judgingly with his head shook left and right, and I rolled my eyes, scoffing at him.

"I don't know, maybe I'm afraid I'd be rejected?"

"Do you like her that much?"

"Maybe, so that's why I decide to take things slow. I don't want to ambush her and force all my feelings on her. She might run away. You see how she acts like I'm nothing more than her housemate,"

At my reply, Jungkook nodded, probably understanding the reason behind my lack of action in pursuing Y/N.

"Well, let us know if you need help, Seokjin hyung and Namjoon hyung will be the closest, and they love becoming the cupid couple," he offered help instantly like the dependable friend he was, and I laughed at how supportive he was after hearing me out.

"I know,"

"Good luck, hyung"

"Thanks,"
