"You like him, do you?" Lisa flutter her eyes at Cheayoung, hoping her friend admits the feeling.

Lisa was shocked when Chaeyoung said the whole relationship was pretended. But Lisa knows Chaeyoung will not pretend to be someone's girlfriend for a long time if she doesn't have any feeling for the guy.

"He outcast me before," Chaeyoung said in a flat tone, trying to focus on her note writing. But it's hard when Lisa keeps pushing her to talk about Jungkook. The man's name alone already makes her mind in a mess. His words in the cafeteria still playing in her mind, it's torture to pretend like she didn't hear it.

"So you like him, but at the same time you don't want to give in because of what he did before-"

"I never said I like him."

"You didn't deny it tho..." Lisa smile, teasingly. Then she chuckles when Chaeyoung's face turns a shade of red. Blushing. "Look Chaeng, I know he made a mistake before and I think he scared you still hate him for that. That's why he keeps trying to mend it. I saw you two inside the cafeteria.. you two look like a real couple tho."

Chaeyoung could feel her face hot and when Lisa laugh loudly, she knows her best friend could see through her.

She wishes her face didn't turn red when she sees him in the club meeting. But deep inside she knows she will fail miserably.

And it's true.

Not even a single step into the Art club room her heart already beating rapidly. Suddenly she feels conscious of whether her appearance looks good or not. She stands behind the pillar a few doors away from the entrance to the Art club, her hand on her chest...why it still beating like she just running around campus and her stomach feels weird? this is bad...she doesn't even see Jungkook yet but her inside already doing an acrobatic.

"Park sunbae" ー A voice calling her name from behind. Chaeyoung turns to see a cute junior coming walking to her. So Junghwan.

Chaeyoung smiles widely as Junghwan approaching her. Looking at the cute face calm down her heart a little. She believes he has many admire.

Jungkook's eyes glaring hard looking at the two people not far from him.

He was excited walking to the Art club, not for club activity but for seeing a certain someone. And the view in front of him just crushes his excitement.

He sees Park Chaeyoung talking to a guy. She was smiling and giggling with the guy. He grips the empty mineral bottle in his hand.

Really, Jungkook wanted to throw the bottle into the trash can, but it flies to the guy's back.

"Ouch..." Junghwan rubs his back and turns around wanting to see who the hell throwing the bottle at him. But his eyes widen when he sees a familiar senior. Instead of looking apologetic, the senior's face looking at him with, serious.

"Jungkook, what was that for?" Chaeyoung walks to him. Her voice low doesn't want Junghwan to hear anything.

"I'm sorry, I aim for the trash can but I don't know why it goes to him. Who is he?" Jungkook glance at the guy who still rubbing his back.

Chaeyoung frowns hearing his answer, "He's a junior..." she opens her mouth again to tell Jungkook to apologize to Junghwan but the junior seems in rush to leave.

"Sunbae, I have to go. See you again. Bye"

"Wait-"

"Let's go. Mr. Han has arrived..." Jungkook pulls her arm to walk beside him. There's a frown on his forehead thinking what the meaning of 'see you again' from the junior. He can't even focus the whole club activities thinking what's Chaeyoung relationship with the junior.

Meanwhile, Chaeyoung thought Jungkook was having a bad day. Because of his sour face, no one in the room dares to say anything or tease them about the rumor. She felt thankful for that but still wondering what makes him in bad mood.

......

Jeon Jungkook was desperate. There are so many what if playing in his head. He was well aware of his feeling towards Chaeyoung but he seems to have a second thought about what she felt about him.

The scene where Chaeyoung talking smiling giggling with a handsome junior still playing in his head. He feels insecure thinking about how fragile his relationship with her.

He needs to do something, which is confess.

"Okay, you're going to stand here and pretend you're Chaeyoung, alright?"

Taehyung blinks at the maknae. "Jungkook, why do I have to pretend to be Chaeyoung? and why you need to confess to her? she's your girlfriend."

"It's a long story... I will tell you later. Now let practice before she comes." Jungkook looks at his watch. Yesterday he had practice in front of the mirror a lot and keep editing his words to make Chaeyoung trust him. But seems like all that doesn't help to lessen his nervousness at all.

Taehyung sighs looking at the maknae pacing back and forth in the clubroom.

Jungkook takes a deep breath and stand s in front of Taehyung. He looks at Taehyung's face...imagining it's Chaeyoung.

But before he could say anything he buries his face into his hands and screams... "WHY I'M STILL NERVOUS?! I CAN DO THIS. BUT WHY IT'S HARD TO SAY?"

"Jungkook relax...I believe Chaeyoung could understand your feeling and-" Taehyung pause, his eyes widen( ⊙ ⊙).

"Really? do you think she will understand if I said I like her? NO NO NO...I love her... or am I too straightforward if I say that?"

Taehyung looks at Jungkook nervously. "Hurrm... Jungkook-"

"Hyung we don't have time, let me practice." Jungkook clears his throat. He straightens his body to get in mood... "Park Chaeyoung, I like you. a lot!. and for a while now actually. umm.. you don't have to respond to my feelings immediately and I understand if you still hate me. It just...it just I thought that you should know. Is that okay hyung?"

Taehyung wanted to facepalm and tell Jungkook that his confession sounds like a high school student. But he knows there's no use. Taehyung tries to give a signal using his eyes, hoping Jungkook would notice and turn around but man...Jungkook could be stupid sometimes. He looks back at Teahyung with his big eyes as if asking for approval for his confession.

"How about you turn around?" Taehyung whispered, voice press because he was just too frustrated with the maknae.

"Why-" Jungkook's eyes widen looking at the doorway. Park Chaeyoung was standing there with a red face.

"Well, I think this is my cue to leave..." Taehyung pats Jungkook's on the back as he starts to walk, but Jungkook's hand grabs him.

"Hyung don't leave me-"

"What the hell?! She heard you just now. So just repeat it again!" Taehyung whispered angrily.

Jungkook's face turned pale looking at Teahyung left the clubroom. All the words he memorized vanish from his head.

"You ask me to meet y-you here... a-am I too early?" Chaeyoung stuttered. She mentally cursed, she should stay cool and calm. But really, how should she stay calm after hearing Jungkook's words? He LIKES her. no he LOVES her. Her heart was beating fast and bloating at the same time! is that even possible?

The atmosphere changed awkward.

"Chaeyoung, I...I...I wanted to.."

She can't help but smile because this is the first time she saw him nervous and stuttering. That makes her feels a bit confident. "Are you gonna tell me the same thing you said to your friend?"

"Y-Yes. Let me-" Jungkook pauses and sighs as he looks downward. "Oh my God...I don't know confessing is hard." He mumbles to himself.

"You're nervous," Chaeyoung says with a smile.

"I am!" Jungkook replies, his voice went high pitch because he's indeed nervous like hell. He bites his lower lip, too embarrassed to look at Chaeyoung in the eye.

"How about we go get some drink...you can cool down," She says in a gentle voice, her face still red.

"Wait, you need to hear my con-"

"Don't worry. Take your time. I'll be waiting for your official confession." Chaeyoung cut him off.

Jungkook looks up looking at her smiling widely as he tries to process her words. He chuckles and covers his face with his palms. Embarrassed.(⊃‿⊂)

"Should we go now?" Chaeyoung asked.

Jungkook peeking at her through his fingers. He sees her cheeks were red...blushing maybe? and she's not exactly looking straight at him. Her eyes were everywhere but keep glancing at him every few seconds. She's nervous too. It makes his heart flutter.

"Okay," Jungkook says then walks towards her. "I'll give you time to prepare your answer too."
