Jin's pov :
I walked to the corridor of Jikyo's room.
There stood Namjoon and Jikyo, having a conversation.
Namjoon : Tell me when you are ready to answer my proposal. I will ask you out then. If you are going to refuse, just say that you are not ready till the end.
Jikyo : Ask me out now.
Namjoon : What?
Jikyo : You may get the answer you want if you ask me out right now.
Namjoon : Well... Ahem... will you go out with me?
Jikyo : Yes I will.
I never thought that it's possible to feel the physical pain when you are emotionally sick.
My heart ached when I heard their words.
Now, it's too late to go back.
"Wow... What did just happen? Am I going to third wheel you guys now?", I pretended to be happy and walked to them and wrapped my arms around their shoulders.
Jikyo removed my arm around her shoulder and spoke, "Umm.. I forgot to bring my ID card from my room", she walked to her room awkwardly.
Namjoon pushed me arm away after she went into the room.
"I don't forget things easily. So don't act all chummy around me. Keep your distance from me and her", he walked towards her room.
He is so hard headed. He was never like that before. Love changes people in many ways , it seems.
The trip ended.
Jikyo warmed up to me after a few days, since we must get along for the boxing practice.
Today, as every normal day, we are practicing boxing together.
She is punching the bag which I must hold.
"Kyo.. Hit with more strength!", Jhope shouted from his chair.
She huffed and started punching again. I can feel the decrease in the strength of her usual punch.
"What happened, Kyo? Why are you slacking off?", I smirked and nudged her shoulder with mine, "Are you thinking about your boyfriend?", I asked her.
She rolled her eyes. "I think that you are slacking off more in your studies than me in boxing", she laughed.
"That's true... I need to improve my grades. The finals are just around the corner", I spoke.
"Yes.. You just were on the verge of failing the mock test", she spoke.
"Will you help me study?", I asked her.
"Hey Kyo!", Namjoon walked to her with a sweet smile.
"Joon! It seems Jin need some help for his studies. Will you help him?", she asked him.
"I don't know... I'm busy these days", he mumbled.
Bullshit. He doesn't want anything to do with me. He keeps glaring at me when she's not looking at him and has not been uttering a single word to me.
"Too bad. Then will you help me, Kyo?", I asked her with a convincing smile.
"I will help you", he glare-smiled at me.
"Well.. Then that's settled. I'll be going!", she waved both of us with a smile.
The next day I received a SMS from Namjoon, "Come to library at 3PM".
I walked to the library at the time he mentioned. He is standing at books stand, searching for books.
"Hey Joon! So you were serious about helping me?", I grinned and took the books from him.
"Kim SeokJin... Why are you acting like my friend? Didn't I told you not to try talking to me again?", he glared at me.
"What did I do so wrong?", I asked him. Why should I take this kind of ill treatment from him?
"I know what you have done, so don't act chummy with me. And don't approach Kyo with stupid excuses", he walked away.
"Whatever", I rolled my eyes. It's not my style to ask someone who walked away from my life to come back to me.
After our conversation in library, Joon visibly ignored me and I saw a thin wall formed between Kyo and him. Someone said that the closer they get, the distance they seem.
Days passed and it's the day for our final sports day in this school.
J-Hope has been fiddling nervously while walking forward and backward.
"What happened coach? Why Kyo hasn't been here yet?", I asked him.
"I don't know Jin. She called me and told me that she is going to foriegn country right now", he spoke nervously.
My heart started pumping speeder than ever. I suddenly started acting without involving my brain in it.
"I am going to the airport", I grabbed my bag and started moving. He yanked me back and shouted, "Where are you going?", I took aback by his rage.
He took a deep breath and spoke, "Look... I'm sorry, but you must attend the final match" which brought me back to my senses.
What am I doing? This is the match for which I've been waiting for ages. She and I have overcome all the hurdles for our final matches, which are happening today. I can't back away now.
I walked to the boxing arena and the game started. And you know the outcome.
I won the match. The whole crowd cheered for the best boxing champion in the ring. Which is me.
I looked around to see my friends around instinctively, but the reality sinked into me.
One of them pushed me away and other left without a word.
I don't know where I have hid the tears which are overflowing from my eyes.
"The champion of today, Mr. Kim Seokjin is crying out of happiness", the commentary is running on.
After the match, I ran back to the dressing room and dressed up and ran out of the school to catch up a taxi.
I ran to airport, but the security stopped me from entering.
"Jin?", I saw Namjoon with puffed eyes.
"Did she left?", I asked him. He nodded.
"She left this letter for you", he gave me a paper.
"Jin..
I left this note for you, because I'm not in a situation to speak to you.
Paparazzi are behind me and my parents felt that it's dangerous for me to stay here. I tried to persuade them, but they won't listen.
I'll be back
-Jikyo"
