"So, what help do you need from me??", Hoseok hyung asked.
It has been a week since I last saw Minji and Jin hyung told me to sort out my thoughts.
I did a lot of thinking but couldn't really get anywhere. So, lastly I came to Hoseok hyung for suggestions.
I know what you might be thinking that why I didn't go to Jin hyung as he was the one who umm.....you know! The reason why I didn't go to him is that he will probably shout at me and there was on one else I could turn up to, except Hoseok hyung.
I can't go to Namjoon hyung, as he's not here right now. Yoongi hyung....you can forget about him and then there's Jimin hyung, he will probably spend the entire time teasing me and I'll become more confused. And lastly, there Taehyung, he will most probably think for a bit with a serious expression then will say that he doesn't know.
So, my last option was Hoseok hyung. Atleast, he will understand me and will give some useful suggestions.
And right now, me and Hoseok hyung, we both are sitting in the living room of our BTS dorm and having some beer along with it. No one is home right now, so it a nice chance to talk to him.
"Ummm..... hyung, I don't know how should I describe it", I said and looked at hyung as he took a sipe of his beer.
"It's about Minji", I said, actually almost everyone of them know about her.
"Huh!? Minji?? Whose that??", he asked and I was shocked.
"The girl who ran infront of my car to save the puppy and I broke my hand-".
"Oh! Now I remember", he said interrupting me.
"Yes".
"So, what's about her??", Hoseok hyung asked, as he gave me a teasing smile.
I told him the full story about how we both first met and how our last meeting was. I also told him about the sunset point on the beach where I took Minji to and also the things Jin hyung told me.
At the end Hoseok hyung didn't say anything, but just nodded his head. He didn't say anything for a long time and it seemed like he was thinking something, so I didn't disturb him.
"Jeongguk, you really did messed up a bit by not telling her your true identity, but I can see that you meant her no harm", he said after which seemed like years.
"I know, I shouldn't have done that", I said feeling guilty.
"Jeongguk, do you love her??", Hoseok hyung asked.
"No!", I said hurriedly.
"Then??", he asked raising an eyebrow.
"I don't know hyung", I said looking at my feet.
"See Jeongguk, it's not like that it's your first time dating or liking a girl, so you should know about it, am I right??", he said.
"I just want to be her friend and want to know about her more. I like her but not in a romantic way", I said.
"If you want to be her friend then why hide from her or are you afraid that she might ran away as soon as she will see who actually you are", hyung said and started laughing.
I didn't say anything, but just kept looking at my feet as Hoseok hyung continued to laugh.
After sometime, he stopped and the room became silent. I looked up and saw Hoseok hyung looking at me with a small smile on his face.
"Why are you smiling??", I asked.
"I've never the Jeon Jungkook, who the whole world knows about, feeling so confused about his feelings. Jeongguk, I've seen you since your early teenage years, but I've never seen you so unsure of anything", he said as he kept looking at me.
"What I know is that, girls are soft hearted how much they try to act tough there's still that soft spot in their heart that may break with just a single lie", he said.
"Yes...", I replied in a low voice.
"What will you do if she falls for Ho-Jun??", he asked.
"No, she won't fall for him", I said in a low voice looking down at my feet.
"Why??", Hoseok hyung asked.
"Because she loves someone else", when I said that I don't know why, but I felt a bit suffocating.
"So, are you jealous??", he asked and it took me by surprise.
"N-no.....I-I-I...", I felt my face heat up as my breathing became uneven.
"Look at your blushing face first", Hoseok said with a smirk.
"I'm not blushing", I said.
"Yes, you are".
"No, I'm not!".
"Fine, if you don't want to admit it", Hoseok hyung said as he stood up to leave.
I saw him as he made his way towards his room. I don't know if talking to Hoseok hyung helped or not.
"Don't worry Jeongguk, everything will be fine, just follow your heart", with that he went inside his room.
'Follow what my heart say', I kept thinking that in my mind as I made my way towards the main door and left.
I got inside my car and I didn't knew where I was heading towards. I just kept thinking that I wanted to be just Minji's friend and nothing else.
When I came to my senses, I noticed that I was infront of Minji's apartment.
'Why the hell did I came here for??", I asked myself and decided to leave. Just as I was about to leave, I noticed Minho coming from behind and soon he noticed me and waved his hand at me.
"Hey, buddy! What are you doing here??", he asked as soon as he came infront of me.
"I....umm.....", I shuttered, completely confused about what to say.
"Came to visit Minji??", he asked and I just nodded.
"Is she home right now??", I asked.
"Yeah! Today is her off day", Minho replied.
"Oh I see".
"Now c'mon let's get inside and meet her", he said excitedly.
"No....umm.... I-I have some work to do", I lied.
"Then why did you even come", he asked raising his eyebrow.
"Umm.....I just remembered that I had something to do".
"C'mon.....join us for sometime", he said and dragged me outside the car.
"Hey.....", I protested but Minho didn't even bother to listen to me and dragged me inside the elevator. Soon we were standing infront of Minji's apartment.
Ding-Dong
Minho pressed the bell and soon Minji opened the door.
"Hey, you guys!!", she greeted us excitedly.
"Hey, idiot! Are you amazed to see both of us here??", Minho asked.
"No dumbass, cuz I saw the two of you through the balcony", she said.
"Guess like our surprised failed buddy", Minho said with a sad face.
"Now c'mon, get inside", Minji said and we got inside.
"So Ho-Jun, what's up with this sudden visit??", she asked.
"Umm..... that's....I came to return the containers", I said quickly.
"Oh I see", she said and stretched her hand towards me.
"What!?", I asked feeling confused.
"The containers", she said.
"Oh umm....I left them in the car", I said.
"Oh okay", she said and went inside the kitchen.
"What are you making, Minji-aah??", Minho asked, as we both followed her into the kitchen.
"Nothing", she said.
"C'mon.... please make something for me, Minji-aah", Minho said while hugging her from the back and kissing on her cheek.
'WOOH WOOH! DID HE JUST FUCKING KISSED HER!?', I screamed in my mind and stared at them with wide eyes.
"If I make you something will you let go of me??", Minji asked and I was surprised to see how unbothered she was with the kiss.
"Probably yes, if you're going to make my favourite pancakes", Minho said with a playful smile on his face.
"Fine!", Minji said and Minho let go of her. Minho turned towards me and smirked and there was that smug look on his face.
'What was that?? Is he by any chance provoking me??', I asked to myself.
I didn't do anything, I just stood there gritting my teeth as I glared at him. When he noticed my hands as they were turning into fists, his smile became even broader.
"Minji, I've to leave", I said through my gritted teeth.
"But you just came", Minji said coming towards me.
"I've some work to do", I said as she came and stood infront of me. She was so short that she barely reached my chin.
"Can't you stay just for a little while longer", she said with a small smile.
"I....".
"Let him go Minji. He has some important work to do, isn't it Ho-Jun??", Minho said and pulled Minji towards him.
Now this guy was getting on my nerve. I was getting angry but I controlled myself and look at Minji.
"Yes Minji, I've to leave", I said and started to go towards the door.
"Take care on the road", I heard her say from the kitchen.
I went down, got inside my car and just took a long breath.
"What the hell, Jeon Jungkook?? Why did you get so mad??", I asked myself as I hid the steering wheel.
"Damn it! What's wrong with me??".
**********
"Why did he leave so suddenly?? Didn't he came to return the containers??", I asked Minho as I made pancakes for him.
"I don't know", he said and I could hear the ridicule in his voice. I turned to look at him and saw that he was grinning from ear to ear.
"Minho, what did you do??", I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Nothing....", he replied looking at me innocently.
"Tell the truth Minho! What game are you playing now??", I asked crossing my hands.
"It's just a simple truth and dare game but it's a little different", he smirked.
"Different??", I asked looking at him.
"Yeah! In this game, the opponent will show the player the mirror of his true feelings and if the player dare to accept it and beat the opponent then he wins and the opponent will retreat", he explained.
"What if the player doesn't dare to accept, then what will happen??", I asked.
"Then.....the opponent will snatch the prize away from him because he doesn't deserve it", he said coming closer.
"And what's the prize??", I asked.
"That my dear, is a secret", he said as he placed his fingers on my chin and pulled my face closure to him and winked.
"Are you seeing too many movies nowadays??", I asked slapping his hand away from my face.
"How did you know that??", he said looking at me with his eyes wide.
"Cuz your acting sucks", I said and turned my back towards him as I resumed my work.
"Geez! You're no fun", he complained.
"Well, thank you for the compliment", I said.
"But to be honest, are you not interested who will win??", he asked as he went to sit on a stool beside the kitchen counter.
"Yeah, I'm!", I said.
"Who do you think will win??", Minho asked.
"I guess, the player", I answered.
"Why??".
"I don't know, I just felt like it".
"Hmm.....we will see then", he said and smirked.
