Chapter 42 - Too Little Too Late

Start from the beginning
                                        

But when the recording started playing, all I heard was loud trashy music drowning out the equally rowdy crowd. There was no trace of Jimin on the other end.

And so I walked into work annoyed, angry and extremely confused.

Gotta love Mondays.

JUNGKOOK TWEETS: Be mine ♡♡♡
Is this a message to his new girlfriend? BigHit has yet to confirm!

Why I still subscribe to these 'news' outlets..I have no idea. Because it means I get stupid notifications like these that I will never open.

Okay that was a lie.

The clickbait got me, and my curiousity made me do it. Afterall I had time to kill on my lunch breaks

But because of it, I discovered that Jungkook had tweeted a photo of himself with what seems like a Valentine's day gift. The caption says it all.

Obviously the internet went nuts over it. With millions of 'I'LL BE YOURS' proclamations retweeted within the hour. It must have been some kind of record.

Seems like this new social media move is part of the whole 'Y/N dating Jungkook' masterplan.

Millions will be heartbroken. I sighed.

It was something that no one had cared to tell me.

That I'm only a prop in the grand scheme of things. Given information on a need to know basis, far from being in the loop.

I wish I was though, it would mean I'd have an answer to Hanna's texts.

[13:01]
UM EXCUSE ME?!?!
BE MINE?! HELLO?

[13:02]
WAS THAT SUPPOSED
TO BE FOR YOU?!?!?!?

[13:04]
Hello?

[13:07]

Stop ignoring me.

I know you've read these.

[13:11]
Call me!! NOW😱


"Hey can I talk to you for a minute?" I looked up, still half giggling from Hanna's flurry of texts.

Towering over me was Jungkook, brandishing that devil may care smile. At a glance it was sweet and innocent, and yet the more you look at him the more you know this wasn't going to be easy or straightforward.

After quickly inhaling my usual bowl of ramen, I got up and followed suit. I just assumed he wanted to talk to me anywhere else but the employee cafeteria. Away from the curious onlookers.

"Here," Brandishing an aptly pink paper bag with hearts all over it, I now knew, conclusively, who the present was for.

"You know we're not in public," I smiled harshly, pushing the bag back towards him. "Shouldn't you be saving this for the cameras?"

Jungkook scoffed at my question, then flashed a knowing smirk. "Considering I made these myself, I wanted to have this moment to myself."

I couldn't tell if this was the real Jungkook or idol Jungkook. This was the problem with our 'relationship" from the get go.

"That'd be a lot more believable," I replied, mimicking his smirk. "if you didn't just tweeted a photo of this. Do you know the commotion you've caused on the blogosphere?"

You've reached the end of published parts.
