064

Jungkook gives Y/N the whole rundown on life lately and i just sit back and watch the two of them. They sit together on the couch as Jungkook thurrowly explains for the most part, what the situation with the two of us is at the moment.

He goes on and on even adding in little pointless details that don't seem completely needed, but they still make her smile.
"So you hit the guy?" she asks looking up at me from her comfortable sitting position.

I nod feeling slightly embarrassed.

I don't see it as my best moment. But despite my feelings towards what i did, the action earns a smile from the girl i like. Which i suppose makes up for any ill feelings i had towards the situation.
She smiles and gives me a slow clap. "Who knew you had it in you Tae."

I definitely didn't...

I let out an amused chuckle under my breath.
"We are such a dysfunctional trio." Jungkook pipes up, looking between us.

Me and Y/N nod along knowing its true. But even so, it doesn't feel like a bad thing. At least not at this very moment.

Dysfunctional or not, we have something we didn't before.

People to care and look out for us.
Them more than me, but its still a comforting feeling.

I make my way to the couch and sit down. "I think from now on we can't leave eachother alone. Of course we will need time to ourselves to deal with our own stuff personally, but... no more running away. It doesn't fix anything."

Y/N flips the car keys in her hand and catches them swiftly. "Yeah... but i did it and got a car. Think about what i would get if i did it again." She jokes.

She then without hesitation takes Jungkook's hand, placing the keys there gently. "I can't believe you thought i would leave without saying goodbye." She says before reaching up to touch her heart as if she was hurt.

Jungkook shakes his head. "I didn't, he did." he says, snitching on me like a small child. His finger pointed in my direction and everything.

She looks up at me. "I love how much faith you have in me Tae. It warms my heart."

I sigh. "Im sorry, but if i was you i wouldn't come back."

Y/N laughs. "Dont lie. Of course you would have. Like you would leave Jungkook here, hes like a little helpless infant you feel the need to take care of."

Jungkook lifts his head from his phone looking a bit offended. But before he can say anything i cut in.

"That's not true." I reply.

"Oh come one, you two have such a weird friendship. I mean don't get me wrong its sweet and i admire it, but it's a bit codependent. Actually.... The more i think about it, you two could-" She cuts herself off with an amused smile.

"Oh nevermind." She teases knowing damn well the both of us need to know what she was going to say.

I dont know if Jungkook has caught onto the fact that she is playing us or if he just doesn't care, but either way he is the first to insist on her telling us the rest of her sentence.

"We could what?" He asks, turning his body to face her again.

She smiles and shrugs. "Not important. Now.. what were we talking about before?" She asks.

She really is something....

"Before you insulted me by calling me a codependent parent?" I ask.

She raises her glance to me and nods with a smile. 'Exactly."

"So im a needy child with self esteem issues?" Jungkook asks, looking a bit confused as he glances between the both of us in search of an answer to his question.

Y/N leans up and ruffles Jungkooks hair, slightly curled locks of dark hair swaying back and forth as her hand shakes them.

He pushes her hand away with a frown. "Don't patronize me."

She leans in and pinches his cheeks. "Whatever you say kiddo."

My mother voice calling from the dining room informs us that food is done. Jungkook is the first to shoot from his seat in the living room and  rush into the dining room for dinner.

Y/N shakes her head with a laugh before pulling herself up as well.

Im turning out to follow Jungkook to the food when i feel her take my hand, holding me back from entering the next room. I turn back to her in confusion.

For a moment she says nothing, and then a low breathe escapes her lips. "I really am sorry, for not being here. And not talking things out with the both of you. Somehow i got myself into a difficult place with the both of you, and i never really gave either of you an answer or even tried to work it out further. Im sorry for that." She apologizes.

I think she really did worry about if things were going to be alright between her and Jungkook after everything between me and her happened. And when she stopped taking my calls and talking to me, things between me and her became estranged too.

I know she feels bad for letting things go on the way they did, and i feel bad as well. No problem gets better by just ignoring and avoiding it. We all could have done better in the end.

I was pushy and impatient. I should have given her more time to think over things.

Jungkook was emotional and impulsive. It's understandable to get upset but we're all friends. He should have at least tried to understand that it wasn't her intent to hurt him.

And Y/N? She shouldn't have ignored the problem. She let things with Jungkook go on too long. The both of them should have sat down and talked things through. I still hope they are able to do so.

"You're not the only one who needs to apologize. We all hurt each other in a way. You don't have to worry about it though. Jungkook has the attention span of a chipmunk and im not one to hold grudges. Things will be awkward for a day or two and then everything will go back to normal."

Her sad look changes slightly, a smile almost appearing on her lips. "Were we ever normal?" She asks looking up at me.

I laugh, giving her hand a squeeze. "I suppose not."
