Monday rolls around as my alarm clock sounds so loud I think it's sending me deaf as I turn over and switch it off. My thoughts from before over the situation building with Jungkook haven't lessened and left me alone and I don't know what to do about it, I stare at my phone wondering whether I should have maybe answered his last message and whether now he might have fallen out with me. I can't stand this backwards forwards not understanding what to do, this is why I've always stayed away from relationships or any type of guys getting close, not that I've had loads, ha I mean, come on, I'm not the one everyone wants, I'm always the friend, in all reality I've had like two guys kinda want me and all I've managed to do is push them away to get away from the situation. Now I'm not imagining this situation with Jungkook is anything like him being interested in me in any way, or that it similar to the previous situations I've had but, I mean okay I suppose he likes me kind of, as in he likes my twitter account, he likes to message me there's no way he likes me! What after my life has been pretty lonely it's not looking likely that a dream like a kpop idol will fall for me is it? Anyway would I want him too? My fangirl brain screams yes yes yes at me while my sensible side is screaming run away this is going to be a press disaster for BTS and Jungkook and drag me through the mud for nothing. But how appealing the fangirl in my mind sounds.

I'm staring out of my windscreen looking at the office building really not wanting to go inside, for the first time in ages I actually would rather not be at work and be sat at home letting my thoughts run wild over this thing and probably making it ten times worse mentally and this whole thing isn't going to help my day at work. "Tell me everything!" I snap my head around at the voice and see Y/F/N following me into the lift, "tell you what?" I say back glancing at her and the other people in the lift staring at us; "stop playing stupid and dish it! Now" she laughs and it has everyone in the lift drilling holes into me with their eyes waiting for the information they think I'm about to leak, "are you joking me? Really?" I snarl at her and try not to make eye contact with anyone other than Y/F/N, "okay sorry, can I come around tonight?" She asks sweetly and I can't tell whether she's been sarcastic or not but I just nod, "yeah I don't know, yeah maybe. I'll let you know later, okay" I smile at her and thank god that the lift arrives at our floor so I can escape and breathe. "Later yeah" Y/F/N shouts at me but I don't bother to acknowledge her as I keep walking the opposite direction needing to run away.

12 o'clock arrives and although it's lunch I'm certainly not hungry, not even in the slightest because my mind is still plaguing me about why I didn't respond to Jungkook yesterday and I don't even have an excuse to find at all and then why I ignored Y/F/N although I'm sure she'll recover from it, Jungkook maybe not. So now I'm angry at myself for the thought that I might have messed up a really cool situation for myself, brilliant Y/N brilliant! Sitting at the cafeteria staring at the food on my plate I'm grateful no one has chosen to sit with me as I ponder whether to ask about having Friday off work,but then again if Jungkook is pissed off with me why should I even bother? but the questions it'll come with oh help me, maybe if I ask Diane but don't tell anyone else, should I ask her not to tell anyone? But then she'll wonder too. Why is this happening. Is it me just making an ordeal out of something it's not? Then again, Jungkook the idol is texting, scratch that, was texting me and I might have had a famous friend but I might have ruined it. Wow, no, it is a situation and I think it's bigger than I'm imaging. I manage to shove some of my lunch in before I can't take anymore and throw the left overs and leave the cafeteria before anyone grabs me; walking up to the office floor I go to seek out the rota calendar and look at Friday.

"Hey Diane, can I just grab you quickly?" I ask as I see her passing the desks towards her office, "yeah of course" she smiles and I glance at her and suddenly feel really shy about asking her anything. "Erh.." I only mumble but she ushers me with her towards her office "come in then" she says friendly as if maybe I'm going to ask her something private, I mean it is but, "can I have Friday off? I'm sorry it's this week and I've given no notice but, sorry, it was short notice to me too" I smile shyly at her and hope she doesn't ask great details. "Of course yeah, we'll jot it on the diary and.." I decide to interrupt her, "erm, can, can we not put it on the main rota? I erh" I mumble my sentence away and don't actually know what I'm asking for. "Yeah that's fine, is everything okay? Nothing serious I hope?" Diane asks looking concerned, "no, no it's fine I just don't, look it's fine thanks for letting me have Friday off I appreciate it" I smile and she still looks concerned, "honestly Diane, I'm just not going to be in the city for the weekend and it's easier to go Friday that's all" I stutter and finally thankful she doesn't question it again, "okay then, yeah I'll make a note, have a good weekend then" she glances at me and then I start to walk away, "you can tell me anything you know" Diane says and I glance back at her, "thanks Diane, see you later" I leave and then go throw myself on my chair at my desk sighing before anyone else arrived back to their desks.

I take out my phone and text Jungkook;

Me: hey, I hope you're having a good day? I just wanted to let you know that I managed to get Friday off work, if you're interested. I mean, if I'm still invited to the show or. Look, sorry, I'm just letting you know I'm off work Friday so...

I wait for a reply but nothing comes immediately and then everyone is back to work for the afternoon, so I put my phone away, resisting the urge to keep checking it. Even if I just get a text from him telling me to get lost at least I know it's ended and my life can go back to normal instead of constantly over thinking things.
