Promise Kept Right || JJK

1 - Promise

"Do you ever just feel like..." Eunji pressed her lips together, her finger turning the pink straw from her lemonade around the inside of the glass as she stared down at it with an intense gaze. "Like you'll never find the one?" 

Her eyes flickered up, not receiving an ounce of a reaction from her peer sitting across from her, causing her to suck her lips in and tilt her head with her focus back on her glass. 

"Or you know, whether you'll die alone not having met your true love, or even if it exists for you." 

Still no reaction. 

Eunji sighed, twisting her lip. 

"I sometimes wonder if there's actually someone out there for me, waiting to cross paths, or if true love is just some made up concept from Disney in order to fool everyone into wanting to live a fairytale." 

"I don't think Disney holds the credits for that." 

Eunji's brow twitched. 

"That's your answer?" She scoffed as she looked away in irritation. 

She was pouring out her inner-most insecurity and that's what his takeaway was? That Disney didn't have the copyrights to fairy tales and true love? 

What an asshole. 

Her eyes returned back to the figure who sat in front of her with a cold drink of his own, his dark orbs staring right at her. 

"What did you want me to say?" His voice remained as neutral as his features as he brought the straw of his glass to his lips before taking a quick sip. "That I agree with you?" 

"That would've been nice." Eunji mumbled and crossed her arms while looking away and sinking into her seat.

"Has there been no part of you thats wondered that ever?"

"I'm a twenty-two-year-old male attending university, and according to society's view on this information the only thing on my mind should be school, gaming, alcohol and sex. You've also known me long enough to know very well that 'true love' is the last thing on my mind." 

Eunji puffed out her cheeks in annoyance from his answer. 

Jeon Jungkook had once again succeeded in surprising her when she really shouldn't have been. 

Who was she kidding, he was Jeon Jungkook after all. She really had to lower her hopes in him otherwise she was going to keep being disappointed for absolutely no reason at all. 

"I don't even know why I'm coming out to you about this." she muttered out while playing with her pink straw once more. Jungkook kept his neutral face and replied. 

"Cause you have no other friends." 

Damn, why did he always have to be right. 

"Like you do either." Eunji snapped back at him, noticing the way that his lips curved and his head tilted to the side. 

"The difference is that I prefer it that way." 

And there it was, another moment out of hundreds where Eunji was once again questioning her relationship with the man sitting across from her. It wasn't new to her. It was rather a thought process she had gone through several times throughout her life growing up with him. 

She sometimes wondered if their relationship even came close to a friendship. Sometimes they acted more like acquaintances, given the small amount of time that they spent together and words actually exchanged. 

But he was the closest thing to a friend she had ever had, and she assumed the same for him. Then again, he chose it to be that way. Which made her wonder why he hadn't pushed her away until now. Perhaps because they were family friends.
