It's a Little Complex? 『BTS ✘ Reader』

《93》

"Yes! Has been this whole day. I swear people need to get a life."

I glanced over at Jimin who intensely glared back at some people, those who met his gaze wilting and looking away. I simply nodded along to Namjoon's statement but didn't comment on the obvious. I caught Yoongi's eye for a moment and he seemed to understand my discomfort because he tilted his head and let out a small frown.

Jin huffed, straightened his posture, and crossed his arms. "It doesn't matter. If there's nothing interesting happening, then people are bound to put their focus on anything else. Until the next story comes out, they'll just have to admire my gorgeous face. I'm sure this will only be temporary."

"'I'm sure this will only be temporary', now where did I hear that before?"

Hoseok groaned in frustration as he was the last to join us in the café. We specifically chose our own corner, as we have for the last week. We were all growing annoyed and exasperated by the attention and people have begun to voice out their thoughts on our relationship.

We thought either the attention would die down within a couple days or that this news was already common sense but it appears some little birdie spread the word that I was also their soulmate which led to a storm of disbelief and jealousy. It seems like no one had really paid much interest in the topic when finals week and winter break were just around the corner, but things blew out of proportion as soon as the break ended.

I was so close to getting in multiple fights over the course of days as some girls had the audacity to say unnecessary and unappreciated comments under their breath, but clearly loud enough for me to hear.

Oftentimes if one of the guys were nearby, they'd help handle the situation and make it clear that there was no need to say such things, but sometimes I'd have to deal with other students on my own and it hurt.

To hear such mean words targeted at you for something you couldn't exactly control, stings. Though I've kept my composure and learned to control my reactions, deep down I'd unconsciously store their words in my brain only for them to replay in my head at night.

I did my best to control my emotions so the others wouldn't catch on, but I could tell I wasn't very good at it as they would often make sure I wasn't alone and frequently asked if I was okay.

Each time I'd muster a smile and say that I was okay even though it wasn't always true. 

I understand the question "Are you okay?" may be all one needs to hear, but to be constantly asked that and consistently lying to the point where its an automatic response just doesn't help and defeats the purpose of the intended effects.

My patience was wearing very thin and I had a horrible feeling as I noticed a group of three unfamiliar girls nearing our table.

"Hey, I'm just gonna go ahead and ask, is it true?"

The guys and I all looked up at the girl with a deep frown on her face as she boldly stood in front of us with her arms crossed and her hips cocked. Her aura screamed prissy and uncaring as she stood, but her eyes screamed with disbelief and hate as she looked at me. I was actually taken aback from the intensity because she looked dead set on killing me.

"Excuse me? Who are you to come here and ask?"

Seokjin crossed his arms and leaned back a bit as he narrowed his eyes. The fact that he went from laughing at a joke he made just seconds before to such a serious face really was impressive.
