"You're my snow," he declares.
      "Why?"
      "Because if the world turns to ice, and hell freezes over, your beauty will still remain."

      Even though my heart is beating was so fast, I remained still in my position. Just like snow, I was completely frozen for a few seconds.
     That was until I mustered the courage to respond back.

      "I wouldn't be snow then, I would be ice because you just said the world would turn into ice."

"And...you ruined the moment." Jungkook picked himself off from my body and shakes his head back and forth.

I sat up.
"I'm not wrong though?" I pouted my lips.

"Let me educate you with stuff we learned way before middle school."
"Okay, educate me." I rub my hands together, in anticipation.

"Snow is precipitation in the form of ice crystals. It originates in clouds when temperatures are below the freezing point, when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses directly into ice without going through the liquid stage. So yes, there would be snow on the planet and you'd be that snow. In a metaphorical sense."

"You just schooled me, son. Ahh, that's clever." I point at him.
Jungkook rubbed his forehead. "You pick up on things fast."

I tried to get up but I didn't want to put pressure on my calf. "Well I can't pick myself up now...you mind helping a girlie out?"
Jungkook sighed. "Sure, girlie."

With one arm, he swiftly picked my body up. I was unprepared for him to pick me up so fast so I stumbled a bit. He places his hand on my hip to prevent me falling.
      "Easy there, Snow."
We held eye contact for a few seconds, but I quickly pulled away.

"S-stop doing that!" I beg him.
"Doing what?" He asks a little too innocently, not matching with the smirk on his face.

"Never mind...anyways, please stop hurting yourself. There's other outlets you can use such as exercise or even talking to someone. I'm not a therapist, but you're welcomed to talk to me about anything. Even if you don't think it makes sense or you don't want to reveal the whole story. Got it?"

       "Got it." Jungkook gives me a thumbs up.
I huffed and sat on the couch.
Jungkook grabs his jacket and goes to the door.
"Well, I'll be heading out," he waves a farewell.

"Where to? Can I come?" I asked.
"Now that Namjoon has been off our trails, it's safe enough for me to help out with Bangtan Boys activities...I would invite you, but I'd suggest you rest, to prevent strain on your leg."

I whined. "But I'm gonna be so bored!"
Jungkook tried to sympathize.
"Perhaps tomorrow we can do something. The TV works, there's food on the table and you're welcomed to order room service if you have a problem or are hungry. You can use my credit card."

He places his card on the table next to the door.

I raise my eyebrow. "You trust me...with your money?"
"I think we're beyond the stage of trusting each other with inanimate objects. Don't you also think so?" Jungkook asks.

His confession made me flustered.
I examined my finger nails, pretending to be too cool to care. "Eh, I guess."

"I'll see you later then, Snow." He steps out and shuts the door.

The first thing I did when Jungkook was gone was call my parents. They lectured me for not calling me sooner. Then, they asked me how the trip was and of course I made up an extravagant lie about observing some boring bacteria at the laboratory.

I called Bora but she did not pick up. I decided to text her instead.

Y/N:
hey, i can't even tell u how 
u how thankful i am for you
helping me! i knew u were 
good at photoshopp,
but wow you were even
able to convince
my parents those pics were real
                       
stan talent, stan bora 👌

Y/N:
i missed u, bor-bor

Y/N:
r u busy? it's been hours.
u usually respond fast.

BORA:
oh hey. i wasn't ignoring
u. sorry i was helping
my mom with something.

Y/N:
i didn't say u were ignoring
me, lol. isn't ur mom in
japan for a business trip?

BORA:
did i say mom? i meant
my sister.
whoops, autocorrect.

Y/N:
sure..anyways thanks
again for helping me.
i know this whole situation
is overwhelming for u.
it is for me too.

BORA:
it's crazy...who knew that
we'd actually meet the
leader of the legendary
bangtan boys, RM...
and it ends up being a
cute guy named namjoon.

Y/N:
cute? sure he has
dimples and is tall...but
this namjoon guy held a
gun against me when
we were in the cafe.
he's nothing but insane.

BORA:
and he's jungkook's
brother...so i guess
jungkook has some
of the psycho genes
too, haha.

Y/N:
don't compare namjoon
and jungkook. although they
may be related, they're
completely different.

BORA:
are they really? or
are you just being
biased here?

Y/N:
..what do you mean?

BORA:
don't act like jungkook
didn't bully you for years.
sure, he didn't bully anybody
else in school, but that
should be proof enough
that there's something
wrong with him. he may
even be worse than Namjoon.

Y/N:
bully? yea he's pulled pranks
but i can't act like i've
been innocent either. i've
pulled just as many for
revenge. i didn't even
try to ask him what went
wrong in the first place, until
yesterday. sure he didn't
give him a clear answer, but
i think i'm finally getting
through to him.

BORA:
sounds like you got a
crush on him, hehe.
don't worry. jungkook
probably has a crush
you too.

Y/N:
uh, a whole taehyung exists 🙄
and why do u think jungkook
has a crush on me?

BORA:
remember in chung's
cafe? when I told u that
i knew everything
about u, such as u looking
away when you're lying?
well, jungkook was the one
who revealed this secret to
me, last week.

Y/N:
ur late lol, jungkook told
me about this yesterday.
and just because he's good
at figuring people out,
doesn't mean he likes me.

BORA:
OF COURSE jungkook was
the one who told you...
anyways we were paired
together for an assignment
and he was mad quiet until
i took my phone out to
text u and he saw your name
on my screen. he just giggled
to himself "ah she's so naive,"
and I said "uh y/n?" and he then
basically explained how ur such
a terrible liar and revealed your
habit of looking away when u
we were lying.
but the weird thing was his SMILE.
he was really reserved
until he saw your name and couldn't
hold back giggles like he was a
10 year old talking about his first
love.

Y/N
oh well that is
interesting. thanks
for telling me i guess.

BORA:
no problem, that's
what friends are for.

Y/N:
so what was it like working
   with jungkook?

BORA:
huh? what do you
mean?

Y/N:
isn't he your crush?
you've told me how much u liked    
him since we were kids. bet    
it was fun working with
him. any details?  😏

BORA:
oh that silly little infatuation..
haven't you heard? I got over
The Coconut.


Y/N:                                
WHAT? this was news to             
me. you've told me u had a           
thing for him for YEARS.
when did you get over jungkook?      

BORA:
this week. he's a thing of the
past for me. i'm not
into mature little boys. but
i did find another crush
that replaced him, though.

Y/N:     
holy smokes! who?

BORA:
uh, namjoon...

Y/N:       
   ??? this ain't april fool's
or opposite day, so why are
u saying nonsense?

BORA:
i'm not lying..
this is how i feel.

Y/N:             
did you forget what he has
done to me?
why do you even like namjoon?

BORA:
he has dimples...
i like dimples.

Y/N:
[friend card revoked]

Y/N:          
i'm kidding but for real
      i know he's hot and all...u
could have picked
someone else. someone
who didn't attempt to murder
your best friend.

BORA:
i'm sorry, but you know
I got a thing for bad boys
who got a lot of control...
and namjoon seems really
powerful. it's such a
turn on.

Y/N:                
sorry but this is one crush
i don't want to talk about
with u. he's terrifying.

BORA:
are you mad at me?

Y/N:                   
a little bit..but I don't want a
boy to ruin our friendship.
let's talk about something
else.

BORA:
i really would love to,
but I gotta go.

Y/N:                  
oh, I completely understand!
I'll talk to you soon then!

BORA:
of course! bye,
hope your leg feels
better.

Y/N:                 
thanks!! love u, bor-bor 💘

       I groan due to frustration. Why was Bora acting so shady lately?

      After the strange text conversation, I try walking without my wheelchair. I feel like I've drastically improved since the afternoon. Perhaps I was just really hungry before which resulted in my lack of strength.

       Regardless, I also practice with crutches in case I had a problem walking tomorrow.

      After a few hours, I ate the leftover bulgogi on the table and flip through the channels on TV to pass the time. I fall asleep due to boredom.

      "Wakey, wakey!!" Someone is yelling at me to get up.

       "5 more minutes, mom..." I turn over and place the couch pillow on top of my head to tune out the noise.

       A man with a deep voice speaks with sass.
      "I ain't your mom...to be honest, I'd be offended if you thought of me as your mother."

       I remove my pillow and open my eyes.
      "Jungkook! You're finally here!" I excitedly shake, like a chihuahua.

      He was dressed in the same outfit as before, but his face looked like he was completely drained of energy. Regardless, he displayed a fake smile.

      "Hey. It's about 1 AM.. let's get you to bed. I would have just picked you up, but now that you're in a better condition, I feel like you can do that yourself. Plus, I didn't want to touch you like that without your permission, especially when you're sleeping," he says in a sweet, soothing voice.

      I chuckle. "Sure. But I got a question-do we have any plans for tomorrow? I don't want to get bored in the suite again." I admit.

      Jungkook scratches his head. "Well the party is Friday and you've been wearing my sweatpants since you got hurt..."

      I understood where he's going with this.

      "So, we're going clothing shopping..."
       Jungkook nods. "Precisely."
