Walking down the corridor with a blank face, Lyla constantly checked on me and patted on my back as a comfort.

We reached our school's parking lot which was located right in front of the college dorm.

"Let's throw a sleepover tonight!" Lyla screamed as the idea suddenly hit her.

"No, Lyla. We need to stay in our own rooms every night," I rejected.

Lyla moved into our dorm a week ago.

"Come on! It's gonna be fun!" Lyla swung my arms from side to side.

"I know. But," I sighed, "we're not allowed to do this. Rules are rules. I can't help either."

She stared at me with a 'you're boring' look on her face.

Honesty I would have agreed if the horrible moment just now didn't happen.

But it did.

And I was exhausted to even open my mouth to speak.

I just needed some time alone.

"Fine, just come."

"Yay! I'm gonna come after the teacher came checking on us okay? Then after they left, I will sneak in your room," Lyla explained her perfect plan.

I exhaled and waved at her, mentally saying a bye.

I heard Lyla's little giggle before she ran off.

After I reached my dorm, I dropped my bag onto the floor and dragged my heavy body to my room.

I took a towel before I walked into my bathroom.

"No please..." I mumbled as I stared at my reflection.

I was in a whole mess, much worse than how I thought it would be like. There're obvious bruises on my neck. My lips were still in reddish-pink colour.

My emotions began to flow through my body again. I pouted trying to take control of my tears but a drop of them didn't listen as it flew down my flushed cheeks.

"Fucking bastard!" I yelled followed by a few more pure screams while messing up my hair.

I took a deep breath and finally calmed down, on the outside only.

Inside, my blood was still boiling hard.

I stepped into the shower. I relaxed my body but tensed up again thinking about my future.

Does it mean Jungkook and I are over already? Or is this just a warning?

I paused.

No, please...let us be over.

All our recent memories hit me, one by one. I frowned when I noticed the only similarity: I was always the one chasing after him.

I had never thought of leaving him because I loved him.

Yes, loved.

Because now, I only felt growing disgust over him. I wouldn't lie that I still got butterflies in my stomach whenever I remembered his handsome features, but as his girlfriend, I knew his disrespectful side towards women, and that was enough to cover all those beautiful things of him.

"Maybe try and let it go."

A voice suddenly interrupted my thoughts.

A small smile crept over my face.

Actually, his voice isn't too bad.

It is quite...sweet and soft.

I could feel my cheeks getting hotter again.

Thinking about Jimin, he had been nice all the time. He was all gentle, caring and respectful.

Wait, didn't I meet him on Tinder? And he was so horny back then?

How did he change so much...

Where did that tinder guy go?

Is this really the Jimin that I met earlier?

My mind was in a real mess and I decided to take a break from thinking about boys as a headache took over my head.

After I finished taking a shower, I went to my room and changed into a set of comfy pajamas. I turned around trying to find a towel to wrap my hair with. I stopped when I spotted a black familiar towel left on the floor.

I jumped to it with my sprained ankle and picked it up.

The smell was the first thing that attracted me. It was Jimin's cologne.

I couldn't even explain how rich and sensual it smelled like. It was musky, mixed with a little bit of vanilla scent. It was woody, perfectly fitted the manly figure of Jimin. It smelled like nature, but strong, yet not too over.

My heart definitely melted just by smelling his towel.

Did he use this to dry his hair everyday? Or did he use this to clean his body-

"Stop, Seohyun, what the fuck," I abruptly snapped myself out of my nasty thoughts.

Still, I wrapped it around my damp hair before I went to my living room.

I screamed when I saw Lyla lying on my couch.

"What- Why- How did you-"

"Don't ask me," Lyla raised up her hands in defense, "ask yourself, you left your keys in the door. You should thank me that it was me who entered your flat not other creepy ass men!"

She then pointed at my table where she placed my keys.

"Ah, I guess I was just really stressed out," I sighed.

"I've ordered pizza already, can you log into your Netflix account please?" Lyla replied but her eyes were glued to her phone screen.

"Why can't you do it yourself? You have an account too," I scoffed and sat next to her.

"Fine. I'm just gonna show you- Wait, why do you smell like...a man?"

O-oh

"Good joke, Lyla. So, what do you wanna show me?" I stayed calm. I couldn't let her know the smell was from Jimin's towel. She would definitely overthink and get sad because I got one of his personal items.

"But..the smell is really really familiar..." She continued to guess while coming closer to my head where the towel was on.

"Nope! Y..you haven't taken a shower yet. I did. So..you're very dirty," I made up an excuse.

What dumbass thing did I just say

"I. Took. A. Shower. Already," Lyla complained word by word before she eyed me then to her clean pajamas.

Ding!

"Oh! Sorry got a new notification!" That notification saved my ass.

I quickly walked to the kitchen and clicked on the message.

Who's it from?

Jimin
Have you got back to your dorm now?
Be careful with your ankle.
Take care.

Somehow my heartbeat went crazy after reading his messages.

Does he have feelings for me too...

If not, why did he message me in the first place?

"Who's it?" I heard Lyla shouting from the living room.

"N..nothing! Just..Jungkook!"

Ugh, the Jungkook dickhead.

"Did he threaten you again?" Lyla became very concerned once I came back to her. Now I just felt bad for lying to her.

"No he didn't. I'm okay, thanks Lyla," I smiled holding her hands.

"Come here then! Take a seat! Miss Lyla will now show you her search history!"

I chuckled before I was pulled to her side.

She shyly handed me her phone.

"Well...you know, I like Jimin so I did some research on his background..."

My eyes widened as I remembered something.

Shit, she likes him too, what should I do this time...
