Yet Again

Chapter 14 • Making things Right

Geum Jae

Laila has attempted to contact me numerous times over the past two months, but I have ignored her calls.

It may be childish for me to just ignore her but.. It sucks that my own best friend didn't care about my brothers' death. Didn't care about me.

I've been hanging out with Taehyung a lot to distract myself, and it's been working. Taehyung is a really nice guy and he's super cool to be around him.

But today... Today I'm confronting Laila. I'm confronting her because that's... Something mature to do I guess?

And no, it's totally not because Taehyung isn't hanging out with me today.

Okay, it is.

But I'm not mad, I'm not mad at all. I'm actually glad he's going out with Jungkook and the rest of the guys. Especially Jungkook. Taehyung's love for Jungkook can be spotted from really far away.

I'm just desperate for them to be together really, cause why are they taking so long? It's pretty clear Jungkooks crushing on him equally as hard.

But anyway, it's been a bit boring hanging out with Taehyung these last couple of days honestly. Like I said he's a sweet guy and cool to be around but.. Hanging out with the same person every single day can get boring you know?

And I know it's not only me who thinks about it, because I can tell Taehyungs boredom with me these days, and it's fine because it is mutual.

I'm going to confront Laila, and hopefully... Make things right.

Taehyung

Jungkook called me over to his house earlier. We haven't talked since the movies and— and the arcade. It hasn't been much, only three days.

But I'm still nervous. He's probably just calling me over to let me know for the billionth time that...— That he's straight.

I made my way to his house and knocked nervously, but he quickly opened the door, as if he'd been waiting by the door all day.

He was dressed casually, a white tank top underneath a purple flannel and jeans. His hair was also messy, making me go insane.

"Hey." Jungkook simply said as soon as he opened the door. I replied with an awkward wave and a small smile, making him giggle.

He made way for me and I entered, this time, his house was way more clean. Last time I almost had a heart attack with how messed up it was. "Good job Jungkook, you finally cleaned up after yourself." I joked.

Jungkook nudged my shoulder with a light chuckle. "Come on I always clean up."

I laughed and swallowed nervously as I sat on his couch.

We grew quiet now.

He suddenly cleared his throat and crossed his legs. "Well uhm... I guess you sort of know why you're here.. Right."

I licked my lips nervously. "Yeah..." I took a deep breath, okaying with my hands anxiously. "Before you say anything I just want to apologize. I know you're straight, and I also know we aren't friends with benefits anymore. I'm sorry."
