CHAPTER 30 || Answer

She put a stick into the fire.

"I never thought I would sit by a fire with all of you like this." Namra's lips curved upwards.

"It's nice...and it's my first time."

I turned to her with a smile, she responded with a faint one.

"If we get out, let's gather around a fire, and hang out again. I really hope we can do this."

"Sure." I raised my brows at her and took a glance at everyone.

"This is my first time too. We must do this again."

"Yes, let's do this." Onjo joined, smiling at Namra and me. "If anyone lights a fire, let's gather together."

"Sorry prez." Jimin said. Namra looked down and responded by smiling wider.

"Sorry, Minji too." Jimin continued. "I don't know you are having hard times, though I don't agree with you being physical, I...I understand it. I am sorry for being rude to you before."

"Me too. I used to dislike your attitude, but guess I just had not known you enough." Hyoryeong added on.

"Yeah, I guess Jungkook's right. You are not as bad as we assumed." Joonyeong looked at me with a smile, after gave up fixing his glasses.

"Actually, I think Minji is nice, if she can just stop roasting me." Daesu pouted, looking at me.

I was taken aback by their comments, especially Jimin's apology, which made me chuckle.

"It's okay." I looked around and finally landing my eyes on Jimin.

"I don't agree with myself either. I know its wrong. I used to swear not becoming someone like him, but eventually, I felt like I am becoming more like him already." I looked down at my shoes that were quite worn out.

"You're not."

Without even looking up, I knew the owner of that voice—the cute boy who was giving me unlimited care and support.

But I was still eager to look up, desperate to cover his image vividly in my head every few seconds, not wanting to forget the big puppy eyes, high nose bridge, bunny smile, pierced ears, fluffy hair...everything about him.

He blinked and broke my eye contact, meanwhile licking his lips. This was the first time I saw him in such an expression, he was so certain and uncertain at the same time.

And I totally understood the reason. I had not given him an answer to his question. He was very certain about the feelings he had towards me, but so unsure about mine towards him.

"Minji ah, about what I said before, just pretend I didn't—"

"Shhh." I put my index finger on his lips, the faint touch sent electric current through my veins, stimulate my heart to beat faster.

I giggled as I saw his red cheeks. Then I turned back to the fire. I already knew my answer.

"When you talked about the girl who smiled happily like an idiot, I swear to god, I really forgot about her, about her smile, about her attitude. Is this a stage of...erm...growing up?"

I sighed looking at the flames. Life was just like the campfire, it could not last long, would only burn with the help of flammable substances. It flickered with the environment change, sometimes fluctuate more as wind blew, sometimes very stable, like there was a wall blocking the wind in front of it.

Jungkook was like the woods and charcoal that kept me survive even though he knew he would get hurt; the wall that tried to block away the hardships I met.

"So...go ahead." I raised my brows at Jungkook playfully.

I wanted to block the wind for him, too.

"What go ahead??" Jungkook asked confusedly and worriedly.

The ace and the outcast? Guess we could make a perfect match...?

"Only you can bring her back." I bit my lips.

"W—what??! W—what does...that mean??!" Jungkook still looked confused but the end of his lips already started curving upwards.

That smile, let me protect it like how he protected mine.

I held his tie and pulled hum towards me, until his ear was in front of my lips.

"That means I fucking like you too, Jeon Jungkook." I whispered as my breath blew into his ear.

Jungkook looked at me with widen eyes, he grinned widely and stretched his arms.

"YES!!!!!" He shouted and hugged me tightly, I could not help but chuckle.

"Oh my gosh!!!!" Daesu clapped his hands as he screamed, the others also smirked and looked at us excitedly.

"I think I have missed quite a bunch of things??! But at least I can be a witness of this happy ending of the lovebirds that have been flirting for a few days??!" Cheongsan chuckled while clapping with Daesu. He was genuinely happy for us, though he still could not hide his little disappointment.

I giggled hearing all those words from the others.

"It's suffocating, Mr. Jeon." I patted his back a few times, but all I could feel was his muscular arm tightened the grip around me.

One of it surrounded my waist while the other around my shoulders. Tight, but comfortable, I melt into his chest. Not sure was because of the campfire or his hug, but a warm current flowed through my body.

"Are you sure you want me to let go? Miss Jeon?"
