"You could've just told me to back away." He mumbles while glaring at your face.

"You didn't let me speak you dumbass." You push yourself off him and think to yourself if you should have just let him meet his demise. "Listen, I don't wanna be that guy that ruins your mood every single time you see me but let's face it. We can't avoid each other. You know why? Because our parents exists. We both know they won't allow it. So I suggest we swallow our pride and at least try to act mature when we're together. "

And by we I mean you.

If he keeps staring like that, he'll end up drilling a hole in your face.

"You—why do you hate me so much? What did I even do to you uh?" That's enough to have him look away from you.

"Shut up, Y/n."

"Gladly." You roll your eyes and move forward with the cart. If he's not gonna say anything, then that's fine by you. You hope he trips and losses a tooth.

Dinner with them pushed through as planned. Mom brought her cooked dishes and combined with the meal prepared by Mrs Jeon—the table had food enough to feed an army. You never once looked Jungkook's way even when you'd notice him staring at you.

And just like that, it was over. You're back in your room finally changed out of your uniform and your phone back to where it belongs—with you. As you're getting ready for bed, Jungkook's in his own room staring intently at the ceiling.

What had happened earlier flashes his mind.

You—why do you hate me so much? What did I even do to you uh?

Are you really unaware of what you did? Or are you playing dumb like always? He feels his heart ache for the slightest moment as the door to his room swings open.

"Mom?"

"Don't mind me honey, I'm just here to grab something." She waltz over to his night stand and pulls out a charger. "Kookie?"

"Yes?"

"You know you can always talk to me right? So if something's bothering you, you can always tell me."

"I know."

She gives him a soft smile and ruffles his hair. "Good. Now get some rest. You still have a long day tomorrow. Goodnight sweetheart."

"Good night mom."

She gently closes the door behind her and he goes back to staring at the ceiling, sighing. It hasn't even been a that long since he's last seen you but he's already missing you like hell.

The following afternoon you found yourself staring at a random goat that showed up out of nowhere.

It had a red ribbon on its horn and it's coat was white as snow.

No one told you Snow White turned to a goat.

It's owner appeared and as funny as it sounds, gave it a juicy red apple to chew on.

You find it rather weird but intriguing at how people are able to keep those type of domesticated species as pets.

The goat and the owner leaves and Hazel comes back with your ice cream.

"One vanilla ice cream of Aimen and one classic chocolate for, Y/n. Screw the both of you for making me pay." She says with a smile. You smirk in amusement, taking your bag from the bench as you stand.

"Let's go you guys. The sooner we gather the props the sooner we can go home." Aimen reminds with a scowl. "Remind me again why we're doing this?"

"Since we didn't want to be part of the opening act, coach made us in charge of buying the props."

You point at yourself. "Then why the hell am I here? I'm still dancing."

"That's because we want you to suffer." Hazel then gazes forward. "I'm sure I saw the prop store somewhere over there. Let's go. Time's a wasting."

After some time, we found ourselves surrounded by stores with basically everything we need and don't need displayed for the world to see.

"Over there."

She directs all of us to a corner that had a sign The Prop Corner in glowing pink neon lights. Ones inside, it's like a while other world.

From pirate costumes on a mannequin to fairy wings dangling on the ceiling. For sure, everything we need will be here.

"Hey uncle Choi! I brought my friends over." Hazel heads over to the counter where a man in his early twenties can be seen polishing a gold lamp.

"Hazel my dear, it's been a while." He then turns to your direction and acknowledges your presences with a smile that could melt hearts. "So what brings you ladies here? Is there anything you need?"

"Yeah we're here to buy some stuffs for this school act next week and we're kinda in a tight budget?"

"I'm sure we can work our way around that my dear. So what's the theme?"

"Pirates."

"Ah, I got just the thing. Wait here for a bit. I'll go grab it at the back." That being said, he exits the area and enters through a door at the very back of the store.

At the same time, there's a chime that indicates a customer entering.

"What's Jungkook and Jimin doing here?" Hazel's basically whispering as she drags the both of you by the hand to hide behind a huge shelf.

"Why are we hiding?"

"Are you kidding me? Jungkook's already scary by himself so it's even worse if they're together." She says. "I mean look at him. One wrong move and he'll gobble you up like a ogre."

"You're being ridiculous—" Aimen presses a finger against your lips.

"Listen. I think they're talking about you."

"I'm not always on your side, Kook. I still think what you're doing is too much. And besides, you've known her for a long time. You, more than anyone else, know what she's like."

"But Kira-"

"Who cares what Kira says, man. She wasn't there to comfort you when your stupid miniature cow died." Jungkook glares at him but Jimin continues. "Or took care of you when you were in the hospital for days. And who had to deal with your sorry ass while your parents were away for that important business trip? Y/n did. Even when you kept treating her like shit."

"I still can't forgive her though."

"And why's that? Because you still believe what some random chick told you years ago? Did you even try to confront Y/n about it yet?" Jimin throws a hand over Jungkook's shoulder. "Listen, you've known Kira for like three years. Y/n? Since you both were in diapers. Kira comes and goes but Y/n's stuck with you for life man. Whether you like it or not. So man up and properly talk to her. I'm sure you can fix this little misunderstanding."
