"I regret breaking up with you," I tell him, tears brimmed my eyes.

"It was your choice,"

"I'm sorry"

"Kookie oppa! I want cookies and cream!" Jin soo said excitedly.

"Okay, wait outside with Noona," Jungkook said and entered the shop.

Within a few minutes, he came out again with three ice creams. He passed Jin soo his ice cream and passed me one.

"It's for you," he told me.

"Kamsahamnida"

I started eating my ice cream. Memories flooded through my mind. Remembering how me and Jungkook used to go out late nights because he couldn't sleep.

"Noona~ what are you thinking about?" Jin soo asked.

I looked down and back at Jungkook, who was looking at me too. "Just something that means a lot to me."

"What is it?" Jin soo gasped, "Is it Kookie oppa? He's your boyfriend right?"

My eyes widened. He's smart for a small kid like him. "Ani, me and Kookie oppa are just classmates"

"Jinjja? Kookie oppa said you're his girlfriend,"

"No" I simply said and looked down.

I can hear Jungkook whispering to Jin soo, "don't disturb Noona. She's tired,"

"Okayyyy," Jin soo giggled and walked in front happily.

"Um, sorry about that. It was before we broke up," Jungkook apologised.

"It's... fine,"

We again walked in silence. I was looking down the whole time.

"Jeana," Jungkook started, making me look at him, "are you sure we can't be friends? We still like each other."

I sighed. I really wanted to be friends with him, "okay"

"Wait, what? Did you just-"

"Yes" I cut him off.

Jungkook shocked me by holding me in his arms and hid his face in my neck.

"Are you sure you guys aren't dating?" A small voice said.

I entered the bakery and placed my bag in my locker. Yerim was sitting down playing with her phone. I smiled and walked towards her.

"Hey"

Yerim looked up and pulled me down to sit beside her, "Jungkook changed his Facebook to Single. What happened?"

I tuck a few strands of my hair behind my ear, "we broke up"

"WAEYO" she cried, "I SHIPPED YOU GUYS SO HARD"

"Aish! Quiet down!" I tell her, "it wasn't working out"

"So are you guys friends or what?"

"We decided to be friends," I tell her.

"Isn't that awkward?"

I sighed, "it kinda is, but I just think of it like we're dating but no kissing or holding each other,"

"He's coming" Yerim whispered.

I looked up and my eyes met his. Jungkook smiled warmly at me and sauntered towards us.

"Hey girls"

"Yah Jeon Jungkook, can I take over your job?" Yerim asked.

"What for? I want to work with Jeana,"

Oh god.

"Please~" Yerim pouted.

Jungkook sighed, "I want to spend time with my friend "

Ouch.

Yerim pouted, "araseo"

I stood behind the cashier and waited for Jungkook.

When Jungkook stood beside me and leaned against the wall and smiled at the ceiling, "Ah, it's so good to have you as a friend,"

I smiled sadly. Thinking that we should've been more than friends. "I wish we could be more than friends," I blurted out.

He looked down at me, "Why don't we?"

I sighed, "I don't know. I think i'm crazy. I think i'm afraid of falling in love,"

"Why are you scared of that?" asked Jungkook.

"I've seen in movies," I started, "they fall in love but the guy always manage to break her heart,"

"They have happy endings," Jungkook pointed out, still staring at me.

"Life isn't a fairytale, Jungkook." I tell him, "I don't want to love you so much that when you leave me I-" I couldn't even continue my sentence.

"I won't leave you" he said, confidently.

I look at him, "I don't know-"

"I'll make you happy," said Jungkook, "I'll make you the happiest girl in the world. I won't leave you. I'll take care of you."

"Can we talk about this later? We have work,"

Jungkook nodded, "please think about it,"

***

"Can we talk about it now?" Jungkook whined cutely.

I smiled, "okay."

"So~ we really like each other..." Jungkook trailed off, "Can we be together again? I really like you,"

"Exactly" I said, making him confuse, "You like me. I love you."

"Jeana. You know that I lost my girlfriend just a few months ago. I did move on but i'm afraid of falling in love again,"

I stared at him, "I understand. I can't force someone to love me,"

"But i'll try" Jungkook said which caught me by surprise.

"So you want to get back together?" I asked. Very confused.

"If you want to,"

"I want to" I tell him, "Our relationship is weird,"

"Yeah," Jungkook chuckled.

"Are we together now?" I asked.

He smiled warmly and nodded.
