The Art of Cheater | Jungkook

Lee Jia POV

"Come inside," I said, opening the door and stepping aside to let the two people into the house.

They entered, and I closed the door behind me, leading Jimin into the living room.

"What do you guys want? Pizza? Juice? Water?" I asked as I headed into the kitchen.

"Just water for me," I heard Jimin say. I grabbed three glasses and filled them with cold water, then made my way back to the living room and set the glasses on the table.

"Jia, you're so beautiful as always, and you're so sexy," Jihye said, smiling at me.

"Hmm, no need to say anything. Just tell me what you want," I said, crossing my arms and looking at her.

"Pizza," she said, grinning at me. I laughed a little before heading back into the kitchen.

"No, we just had pizza yesterday," I replied, taking some food out of the refrigerator.

"What? Come on!" I heard Jihye whine from the living room. I came back into the living room with some food in my hands, placing it on the table before sitting down between Jimin and Jihye.

"Where do you live around here?" I asked Jimin, turning to him, and noticing that he was already looking at me.

"U-uh, I live near Jihye," he said before taking a gulp of water.

"You two must be really close," I said, opening some snacks. I heard Jihye laugh loudly, which made me laugh too.

"Of course! He's the one who always bullied me in elementary school for being cute," she said, doing some playful gestures.

"He bullied you?" I asked, turning to her.

"Yes," she replied, taking some food and glaring at Jimin. I laughed at them before taking some food myself.

"Where's Taehyung, anyway? I want to surprise him," Jimin asked Jihye, and I noticed him flipping his hair again, which reminded me of Jungkook from the old days.

"He's at home," Jihye replied simply. I glanced at Jimin, who was sitting to my right. He looked back at me, and I felt a bit uncomfortable as he stared at me.

"Do you have a girlfriend or a wife?" I suddenly asked, looking directly into his eyes. I wasn't sure why I asked—maybe because I was curious, especially since he was handsome and seemed like he might be taken.

"I don't have anyone," he said simply, giving me a small smile.

What? He's single? How could such a handsome guy be single? But, oh well, never mind.

"You don't look like you don't have anyone. I don't believe you," Jihye said beside me. I nodded in agreement, then looked back at Jimin. He was already looking at me again, staring deeply, which made me feel a little uneasy.

I looked away and grabbed the empty glasses from the table, excusing myself.

What was that?

After an hour, around 6:00 PM...

"Yah, Jia, we're going now!" I heard Jihye call out. I quickly came out of the bathroom after throwing up. I walked into the living room where they were.

"Hmm, okay. You two be careful on your way home," I said, wiping my mouth with a clean white towel. I looked at them as they made their way to the door.

"Are you really okay?" Jimin asked, turning around to look at me. His face looked worried. I smiled and nodded.

"Thank you for your concern. But I'm really okay. I think I just ate too much," I said.
