It makes jisoo laugh "Stop with the sarcasm," she says

"OMG. Someone is laughing. Is this the same person who was crying her eyes out just a few moments ago?" he says

The smile from Jisoo's face vanishes

"I just can't help it. Seeing Jennie with Taehyung was already difficult. And then she rubbed it in my face in front of everyone.. I can't-" Jisoo says

"Hmmm. Now answer my few questions" Yoongi says

"Okay," Jisoo says hesitantly. 

"What does he want to know?" she thinks

"Did you cheat on Taehyung?", Yoongi asks

"No. I'd never do that"

"Did you woo your cousin's boyfriend behind her back?"

"What? No"

"Did you insult your cousin in front of everyone?"

"Nooo. Urgh. What do you want?"

"Then should you be the one crying"

"No. Obvious--" jisoo stops herself

Yoongi smiles at her

"You have your answer. This is not your fault" he says

"But-- I can't help myself. Everyone keeps judging me. Comparing myself to Jennie. I know she is better than me. I mean, look at her. And look at me. She is the captain of the cheerleader team.. Obviously, Taehyung is going to choose her" Jisoo says

"How can you expect people to like you when you don't even like yourself?" yoongi says

"What do you mean?" Jisoo asks

"I just want you to know that you're enough. No one can change that. You have to love who you are. For all I know, the teacher asked me to sit beside you because you were a good influence. And trust me, last night, I kept swiping left for every other girl. They were all like Jennie. Wearing fancy clothes and putting on fancy makeup. But when I saw you, I stared at your picture for a long time. Cause something in you intrigued me to know more about you. In our generation, girls like you are rare. You shouldn't be hiding behind this bookshelf to cry. You should be out there, walking proudly in front of all the people.. Let them gossip. They gossip behind your back. None of them have the courage to say these words in your face.

And Jennie insulted you? She acts like nothing happened and everything is normal, right? You can't let her get to you. Trust me, when Jennie sees that *she taking your man away from you* narrative doesn't bother you anymore, she'll lose and you'll win" Yoongi says

Jisoo stares at him for sometime

"Umm are you going to say something or will you keep staring?"

"What if I breakdown in front of them again?" Jisoo asks

"Remember everything I said and you'll be okay" Yoongi replies

The bell rings but the sound doesn't reach Jisoo. She keeps thinking about the things Yoongi told her

"I need a change. Lisa was right. I need to change. Not myself but my things. Why am I wearing this shirt? With this pant?" Jisoo looks at her clothes

"I didn't even think before picking them. Cause I was thinking about Taehyung. I kept reminding myself that no matter what I wear, it won't help impress him. Cause I am not enough. That's why I never take time to think about my clothes. I don't even care about my hair. But I need to. I should wear nice clothes. Tie my hair nicely. Because this is not about Taehyung or any other guys. It is about me" Jisoo looks at Yoongi and her eyes are sparkling

"All this time, I've been so focused on my studies and other peoples' opinion that I lost myself. Do you know how I was as a child? Once Jennie stole my favorite toy. Little me didn't care. I bought another toy and played with it to my heart's content. Jennie cried that day saying I have all the nice toys when she was the one who stole the best toy I had. Once a guy insulted me saying that I have four eyes. I slapped him so hard that the next time he saw me, he shivered to death and never said another word to me"

"How did I turn like this? I am not like me at all" Jisoo says to Yoongi

"I even picked my dresses myself and asked my mother to tie my hair nicely. Jennie used to compete with me but I always won. That's why Jennie doesn't like me. But growing up, I changed. I started doubting myself and became a nerd thinking that everyone is better than me. That's why people take advantage of me all the time" Jisoo says

"Trust me, I want to see the little jisoo who gave a tough fight to anyone who tried to cross her way," Yoongi says

"I don't have to change myself. I just have to find my roots back" Jisoo says to herself as she gets up

"Thank you so much Yoongi. I'll always be grateful to you" she says

"Where are you going?" Yoongi asks

"Lisa told me to go shopping with her but I denied. I need to go with her. I still have so many days left in college. I need to enjoy them instead of being depressed" she says

Yoongi smiles and says

"I didn't know that my words would affect so soon"

"Got to go. See you around?" jisoo says

"Wait jisoo" Yoongi gets up too

"Sooo, am I your friend now?" he asks

Jisoo smiles at him and walks towards him. She puts her hand forward for a handshake

"Yes you are,+" she says

Yoongi smiles and shakes her hand.
