GOT7 •AMBW• IMAGINES

Too Late

Jaebum

I giggled with my friends as I watched Jaebum play basketball with the other guys. "He's so.. handsome~"

"That's literally what you say every time we come watch them play." Sheila said, looking at her nails. "Ugh, I think I need to get my nails done again,"

I look over at her, "You know I really like Jaebum, of course I'm going to compliment him.. I mean, look at him! He's everything a girl needs in a man."

"I really don't know what you see in him, Y/n. But.. it's whatever, I guess." Nora told me as she watched Tré dribble the ball.

"Stop talking about boys. What did you guys get on the science test?" Lori asked, looking at us.

"I got a 98% on it," I answered.

"Wow, good job, Y/n." Sheila said, high giving me.

"Thanks," I smiled.

"I got 75, I think," Sheila said.

"84%," Nora answered, still watching Tré.

"Ugh, why did I even ask you guys? Remind me not to ask you about your grades, I feel stupid." Lori frowned.

"Why? What did you get, Lori?" Sheila asked.

"65..." Lori mumbled, looking away.

"What?" Nora couldn't hear her.

"Ugh, forget it." Lori rolled her eyes.

"It's okay, Lori, don't feel bad about yourself. If you just studied more instead of hanging around with people all the time, I think you'd get better grades. Also take notes, Mr. Cleveland let's us use notes anyway." I said, giving her advice if that's what you would call it.

"Easy for you to say, I hate school and hanging out is way better than getting a headache trying to study." Lori rolled her eyes before getting up.

"Where are you going, Lori?" Nora asked.

"Out. It's boring to watch them play basketball, just watching people play sports is boring as hell. I'd rather watch a fight or a movie," Lori answered.

"Same here, I'll go with you, Lori." Sheila said, getting up and putting on her bag.

They left after they waved us bye. I turned my head and saw that the group of guys stopped playing and that Nora was all ready down there. I widened my eyes, grabbing my stuff and heading down there.

"Hey, guys!" I smile, looking at all of them but especially Jae. "Hi, Jae."

"Hi, Y/n." He ruffled my hair, "What did you guys think of my layups?"

"They were good," I bit my lip, trying to hide my smile.

"But Tré's was the best." Nora said, looking at him.

Ugh, why can't Jae and I be like that? I asked myself, but I already know the answer. It's because I haven't told him about how I feel. I turn and look at him. He was smiling the smile that I fell for, he turned around and looked at me.

"What about you, Y/n?"

"Huh?" I didn't know what they were talking about.

"Will you be coming to the game?" Jaebum asked.

"Oh? Oh, of course! Why wouldn't I? If I'm m not there, then who will support you? You know I'm your biggest fan," I nudged his shoulder with a smile.

"Good. Wouldn't want you to miss it. You're my lucky charm anyway," he said.

I think my heart fluttered, I thought.

"Let's get going, it's getting dark." Tré said and with that, we left the basketball court.

-skip to a few days later-

"Nora, pass me the lip gloss." Lori said, looking at herself in the mirror. We were getting ready for the game.

"Here ya go," she gave her the clear lip gloss.

"Thanks," she applied it on her lips. "Y/n, you're going to tell Jae about how you feel, right?" she asked.

"Yeah, I mean I have to, don't I? I don't want to keep on having a one-sided love.. unless he doesn't like me back, then-"

"Don't worry about that right now, Y/n. Right now you should be thinking positively," Sheila said.

"Yeah but don't think that there isn't a chance of him not liking you back, if you do then you're going to be really heartbroken. But, don't worry, I'm sure there's a chance. Even if he doesn't like you back, don't make things too awkward but also don't say that you were joking around with him, okay?" I nodded my head at what Nora said.

"Then again, that doesn't mean that there aren't any other guys out in the world. Remember that, k?" I nodded my head again. "We're still in college so.. there's many more chances with other dudes. Don't be-" I interrupted Lori from talking.

"Okay, I get it. Let's just go," I say, picking up my bag.

-the game-

It was almost ending and Jae still had the ball in his hands. He was staring at the the guy in front of him and the net. Time was almost running out, if he didn't make the ball then- Everyone stood up, cheering and that was because he had made it! I think that I was the loudest person that was cheering.

-after-

I couldn't wait to congratulate him, but also talk to him about the crush I've had on him since sophomore year in high school.

I couldn't help but smile, my heart was racing as I walked to where he was. But I saw him with some girl, I tried to quietly get closer to them.

"Jaebum, you did so good.. but I'm not surprised, I knew that you guys were going to win anyway," she said.

"Thanks," he smiled at her.

"No problem, but I have to tell you something."

"What is it, Mae?" Jae asked.

"I like you." She said, making my eyes widen.

S-she likes him?! I asked myself. I looked back to see what was happening.

"I've liked you for such a long time and I felt like you would never look my way, but you actually have and I- I just felt like I should tell you how I feel because if I didn't then-" Jaebum's lips landed on hers.

...They're kissing. I could feel the tears coming, I quickly turned around. I didn't want to see anymore. I walked away, tears falling to the ground then I started to run away.

Right when I was running, I tripped, landing on the floor. My head down, I didn't want to get up. My mind kept on going to them, my heart felt like it was breaking slowly yet the pain was so.. agonizing. It felt like someone was taking their time on ripping my heart. That's how it felt watching them kiss.

I was too late, I thought. But then it occurred to me that even if I were there earlier, he wouldn't have felt the same way. He wouldn't have kissed me like he kissed her. Jaebum wouldn't have done any of those things to me because to him, I'm just a friend, but her, she's the girl that he likes. I'm not.

I kind of wanted to try something that doesn't end with him liking her. Yeah, I know I shouldn't really have done that, but I mean... it was too late 🙃. I'll stop lol. Anyways, hope you guys liked it. ヾ(￣▽￣)Bye!
