"i'm only going to the parlour on the weekends–"

"i'll tag along! then we can.."

he took her hand in his.

"...treat it as a date."

。。。

jungkook...
jungkook was a cool guy. being in public with him only reminded
soojeong of how

shabby

she looked.

"oppa! oppa!? who's that girl you're with?"

"isn't she the one who kicked you?"

"i'm much prettier than she is!"

and...
and it didn't exactly boost her ego
once girls nearby hit on him right in front of her.

"how would you like to–"

"i'll pass, thanks."

he even got scouting agents asking about him.

sometimes
she wondered.

were they really meant to be?

they just seemed so
different.

。。。

jungkook stopped in his tracks. he spotted something in the distance.
well, not just something.

but people.

his grip on a dainty, feminine hand tightened.

"chunhwa! yoongi!" he exclaimed, waving the hand that wasn't being latched on to, frantically in the air.

the couple walking towards them seemed to take longer strides
as they realised who had just called their names.

"jeon jungkook. eell if it isn't you." the teen boy smirked,
he had a chilled out aura about him.

however, his partner,
not so much.

"min yoongi. i haven't seen you in such a long time, hyung."
jungkook wrapped an arm around soojeong's tense shoulders.

he could just tell.

"about time, huh?"
the boy named min yoongi
said, turning his head to face his partner. his silver bangs swooped over to cover his eyes.

she was a stunning girl.
pastel pink hair of three different kinds of shades; common, but elegant coffee eyes.
however, her vibe
was sour and unpleasant.

she nodded at yoongi's comment,
her glance hadn't left jungkook once.

"so who's the lucky lady?" yoongi noticed soojeong
awkwardly standing there, in the prince's protective embrace.

"she's soojeong. park soojeong."
jungkook smiled and stared at the ground for a while.

"and i'm the lucky one." he muttered.

no one heard,
exactly.
except her.

"say, we were just heading to the bowling alley. wanna come with?" the silver haired guy suggested.

"sure. if it's okay with soojeong."

gulp.

"sure." she croaked, instantly regretting talking.

"cool."

chunhwa glared at her.

how?
how could he fall for someone like
her?
and not me?

i'm–
i'm so much better than she is...

right?

of course, i'm much prettier.

i just–
i don't get it.
