Jeon Jungkook's POV
Resting my head in bed, I shut my eyes and deeply sigh.
Jimin and Taehyung left to get medicine for our most likely hang over the next day.
They wouldn't let me go because I wasn't sober enough.
I take my phone out and scroll through my contacts. and stop at her name, contemplating if I should text her like I normally do at night.
I type down;
Jungkook: About toda- I delete mid way.
Jungkook: Did you get home safely?
Regretting it seconds later, I overthink to my self. Maybe I am just overreacting right now.
I take a deep breath and close my eyes as the phone rests on my chest.
I feel the vibration and flinch, heavy chested.
Jieun: Yes I just reached, what about you?
With her usual stickers that she can't stop using.
I smiled to my self. Turning in bed to type properly.
We had our normal conversations but I still felt bad. I couldn't take Rowoon off my mind. I ask her how he is.
Jieun: Heejin said he slept as soon as he got home and he is fine, don't worry you can apologize if you still feel bad.
Jungkook: Oh yeah I should, It was wrong of me
Jiuen: Why did you tho?
Jungkook: I don't know
I keep typing nervously; About kissing..
Jungkook: Do you remember when I kissed you?
I curse to myself burying my head in my pillow. Why would I mention that?
Jieun: Yes, we never talked about it so at some point I thought it was just my imagination.
I slightly laugh to my self.
Jungkook: Me too
Jungkook: But was it just a moment kind of thing?
She types forever. At this point my heavy chest starts feeling tighter and turn around bed continuously.
My feelings are all over the place, one moment I am sure I like her.
The other I keep dreaming about Heejin and everything feels right. Its confusing, I keep swaying. I stop thinking as i hear the phone ring, I read it as my one heavy chest just drops. I didn't expect much, I didn't know why I was disappointed.
Jieun: It was, wasn't it?
Jungkook: Yeah I guess
Jungkook: Anyways I am getting tired,good night.
I wasn't tired but I sent it anyways and turned off my phone.
——
Feeling extremely bad about yesterday plus the excruciating headache I have, I take my hangover medicine and some soup.
Jimin and Taehyung talk to me about what I did yesterday.
I remembered everything already because I wasn't even that drunk to begin with.
Deciding to apologize, I head to their house before practice and call Heejin on my way. I ask her if she is free.
Reaching the door step, I move around hesitantly. Until I hear the door knob click .
"I saw you through our window." Heejin stutters.
I nod and smile back as she welcomes me in. Rowoon is making breakfast in the kitchen and it seemed so familiar even though I have never been here.
I look into the chairs to where he pointed with a smile so I could sit down, right at that moment I see myself sitting down holding onto Heejin. Leaning to a kiss?
I shake my head to get back to reality looking down in embarrassment. What the hell is wrong with me?
"I am here to apologize for yesterday." I finally huff as I put down my beanie on the table, fixing my hair.
"Its fine, I deserved it. I really haven't been that drunk before I always held on to my self to not drink much. Now I know I can't drink more than 3 cans of beer." He laughed it off.
Focusing on his first sentence. I thought to my self that I probably overreacted. He seemed like he liked her alot. I shouldn't interfere.
"Anyways I will head out first. I apologize again." I get up.
"No no stay and eat with us, we can head out together!"
——
Rowoon strangely trusted me enough to walk Heejin all the way to the company.
We had a small talk, and my thoughts wondered to my vivid dreams once again.
My head pounds painfully, remembering the dream I once had again. Heejin getting hurt. I start to worry for nothing, because it seemed so vivid.
"Are you okay?" Heejin holds on to my shoulder.
"Yeah dont worry." I take my hands off my face.
Turning into the company doors I see Lee Jieun staring our way, she broke eye contact once I saw her. Continuing to move inside without saying anything.
——
I feel a lump in my throat as I see her inside, I let my vision move away from her as much as possible. I couldn't.
I would keep looking back at her side view, tying her hair up. Her delicate features to her soft neck, the little hairs that stuck to her. Everything about her seemed right to me.

Jieun knows it wasn't in the moment kind of thing. She knows she lied to him that it was. She knows she is attracted to him and probably harbors feelings for him.
But she also knows he is destined to be with Heejin. And seeing them earlier walk in together to the building was like another harsh slap of reality.
"Ok let's start today's practice everyone!" The trainer charges in the practice room.
Jieun shakes my head from her depressing thoughts and tries to focus on what today's event shall unfold. Eunjun will trip Heejin as we practice and she will try to stop that from happening. So I stand in between them to prevent her from doing anything.
—-
Practice gets intense and all she can think about is following through.
Just as they are to turn, Jieun is pushed to the ground forcefully in result, she twists her ankle.
She holds on to her feet and groans in pain as she feels the area getting hot. She pulls up her pants to expose it and finds it turning red as she feels another stab.
"Jieun are you ok?" Heejin rushes to her side and looks at her leg. Then everyone is huddled around her wearing worried expressions.
Jungkook, who was ready too, to prevent the accident from happening to Heejin, stood paralyzed at what instead happened.
Jungkook's mind raced endlessly trying to give himself an explanation but is pulled back to the present when Heejin reads the lines Haewoon had said in the dream. This also tugs his concern for Jieun.
"Why did you do that?" Heejin looks pointedly at Eunjun.
Jieun is shocked too. She thought being in between them would stop Eunjun from doing anything but this whole thing played back on her.
"I meant to uh- I guess my foot went out of the control." Eunjun repeats the same lines as in the dream, unapologetic too.
"The least you could do is apologize!" Jimin reprimands.
"Jieun it doesn't look good, Heejin help her to the nurse. As for you Eunjun, to my office." The trainer speaks with a serious tone.
—-
"Who can I call to come pick you up?" Heejin asks they we leave the infirmary. The nurse suggested Jieun takes a 3 day rest and gave her painkillers.
"Oh my parents are really busy right now I will just get a cab." Jieun stammers. Finally realizing that she has to come up with something to say to her parents when they see her.
"Are you sure?" She assures her she'll be fine as they step into the reception of the building.
"Oh my gosh Lee Jieun what happened?" Rowoon who surprised both of them comes running towards them.
"What are you doing here?" Heejin asks.
"I got off early so I came to pick you up but what happened to you?" Rowoon turns to Jieun in worry.
"Just a small accident during practice but I am fine." She explains smiling slightly.
"Wait I think it's good you're here! Give her a ride home since she won't call her parents. Is that fine with you?" Heejin asks Jieun but she didn't get a chance to object when Rowoon jumps in to happily do so.
Jungkook all too worried despite how mad he is about yesterday's phone call, goes to to check on Jieun. Though he is stopped in his tracks when he sees Rowoon and Heejin helping Jieun out.
