a/n : this was also written a looongg time ago so please bear with me if it's bad lol
"Miss, you dropped something."
I turned around facing the ground as if I actually had dropped something. But after realizing whose voice it belonged to, my eyes shut and I clenched my jaw in annoyance. My eyes locked with Jeon Jungkook, my childhood nightmare. He smirked at me, and his friends snickered looking away with amused smiles on their faces.
"Oh I'm sorry, your ass is just normally that flat."
It took everything in me to just not storm over there and punch that pretty little face of his wrong side in.
"Get a life, Jeon."
"After you."
I rolled my eyes ignoring the laughs I earned from his friends. He always humiliated me, especially out in public but when it was just us? It was worse than that. He'd yell at me if I did something wrong, he'd find the slightest distortion in my life and make me guilty about it, and he made me feel like hell. I hated Jeon Jungkook but I knew deep down inside that coat of hatred was love.
I was in love with Jungkook.
We grew up with each other being next door neighbors since birth. As a child, I grew feelings for him as a brother but then I grew up into my teenage years and I was well aware that it wasn't just a brother sister relationship I wanted. It was more than that. I fell in love with him. Even though we grew up bickering at each other, finding each other's flaws and ruining each other's lives, I still loved him. And I hated yourself for it because even though I had feelings for him, he would never feel he way I felt for him.
I saw my best friend standing by my locker looking lost as always. She pushed her glasses up her face looking around cluelessly until she saw me. Her tense expression dropped and she stood upright to greet me.
"What's wrong?" I asked stuffing my backpack in my locker. Chaeyoung cleared her throat inching near me to whisper.
"You remember how you told me Jungkook would never go out with that stuck up rich senior?" I raised an eyebrow at her. "Well I caught them kissing in the math room this morning."
"Why am I not surprised." I sighed. My heart broke a little but I knew Jungkook was a ladies boy. If he wanted, he could go out with the entire school. The boys included. "Anything else?"
She shook her head looking over my shoulder with wide eyes scared someone might overhear. "This was poking out your locker earlier and I made sure no one saw."
She handed me a small envelope addressed to me. I was surprised I got another one of these. For the past few months, I've been getting notes from this secret admirer. Sending me places and leaving gifts. The notes were small and the hand writing was unfamiliar. I had no idea where the notes were coming from. And it was hard to believe someone thought of me in a romantic way. I wasn't exactly the prettiest or the most popular.
I opened the envelope and held it so both me and my best friend could read it.
there's a surprise waiting for you at the rooftop
-j
I looked at Chaeyoung who eagerly smiled at me.
"How cute." She gushed. "What are you waiting for?"
"Is this a joke?" I looked around carefully. "I bet this is Jungkook just wanting to fuck with my feelings."
"It can't be." She shook her head violently. "I've never seen him cross this hallway ever since we've been going here. There's no way in hell this could be his doing."
I sighed in defeat. "This is the last time I'm going to follow these notes. I just have a feeling something bad will happen to me."
"Look on the bright side." She kept her voice low still looking around cautiously. "Maybe this guy can save you from Jungkook. He's an asshole to you anyway. You should fall in love with a guy that's not as bad as an asshole as him."
"You're right." I nodded in agreement.
"I'll meet you after first period." Chaeyoung happily nudged me. "Good luck."
I watched as she hurried away from me. I found mine trudging up the steps to the rooftop. I looked around with careful eyes and saw no one was there. sighed myself thinking maybe I'll never get to meet the person sending notes. I leaned over the rail of the rooftop looking out. I noticed Jungkook and his group of friends still sitting where they were earlier. I watched as the girl Chaeyoung told me about walk over to them. She leaned in to kiss Jungkook but instead of him kissing her back, he looked up. We both shared eye contact causing me to look away immediately. It was as if he knew I would be here which scared the living shit out of me.
Once I turned around, I clutched onto my chest breathing heavily. My eyes suddenly caught a bouquet of my favorite flowers sitting on the ground across from me. I tilted my head to the side and walked over to it slowly. I picked it up not knowingly smiling at the sweet gesture. A note stuck out of the bouquet with the initial j written on it. I looked around more closely and saw a cute bear sitting near the rail behind me. I grabbed it too, the smile on my face growing more. My heart skipped and my spine tingled instantly. I looked around again to see if there was anything else waiting for me but nothing else was there. But I was content on the bear and bouquet of flowers. It was an amazing feeling that I couldn't shake off and I wanted to meet this person more and more.
I returned from the rooftop and placed everything I had gotten from my secret admirer in my locker. I grabbed my books and looked over my shoulder to see Jungkook and his group of friends walking down the hall. Which was a little scary since he never uses this hallway. That conceited bitch of a senior was under his arm with a cheesy smile on her face. I nearly vomited from disgust but deep in me was jealousy and heartbreak. My eyes met once more with Jungkook but I was quick to look away.
I was shocked when another boy approached you from the other direction. He smiled at me and I smiled back being the close friends we were. He threw his arm around my shoulder.
"There you are." Daniel said in a cheerful manner. "We're gonna be late."
I turned my head to look at Jungkook who stopped in his steps and just stared at me. He was expressionless and I couldn't read him at all. I turned back to face Daniel who smiled at me genuinely.
"Sorry, I had some things to take care of." I said with a smile too. "Shall we?"

My classes finished and I walked to my locker casually. My eyes lit up when I saw the flowers and stuffed bear again. My heart dropped when someone grabbed the bear from my locker. I spotted Jungkook smirking at me waving the bear around in his hand.
"Miss goody two shoes has a boyfriend?"
I glared at him angrily reaching up to grab it but he held his hand up in the air with a teasing smirk. We both spun around in circles as he held up the bear from my reach. I frowned angrily glaring at him.
"Give it back, Jeon. I'm not kidding." I warned and he just tilted his head tauntingly.
"Whose it from, Jennie-wennie? One of the nerds from science?"
I pushed at him clenching my jaw in frustration. "Back off."
"Is someone getting mad?"
"God Jungkook, would you just leave me alone?"
"Where's the fun in that?"
He suddenly took off with my bear leaving me angered and frustrated. I shut my locker leaving my things for now to follow Jungkook. I saw him turn a corner and I ran faster afraid I'd lose him and my bear. I was a little taken aback when I saw him take off up the stairs to the rooftop. I stopped before trudging up the stairs due to my confusion. I slowed down my steps looking up anxiously afraid he might mess with me more but there was no sound or sight. All up until I reached the top.
Jungkook was nowhere to be seen. Instead, his group of friends lined up in front of me with white lilies in their hands and smiles on their faces. My eyebrows furrowed and I slowly approached them. I wasn't exactly close or on good terms with Jungkook's group of friends but I knew them well. They weren't mean but they weren't exactly nice to me either. Courtesy of Jeon Jungkook.
"Hi Jennie." Namjoon, the closest to me greeted. "This is for you."
I cautiously grabbed the flower looking at the others skeptically. They all greeted me sweetly and handed me the flowers in their hands. By the end, I had six flowers in my own hands and I stood there confused. Then Jungkook appeared from out of nowhere holding the bear closely to him. He nervously rubbed the back of his neck and I just looked at him with pure confusion. Then it hit me.
J stood for Jeon. Or Jungkook who the fuck knows they both start with J— All this time I expected it to be Daniel with some cutesy cover cause he loves the letter J for some reason, AKA the guy who couldn't stay away from me. But based on the nervous expression on his face, I knew it was him. I inched towards him still with a confused expression. Jungkook wasn't the type of guy to swoon girls over their feet with gifts. Actually, he swooned girls over him for just being him. I thought he hated me. I honestly thought all our relationship was together was annoyance and anger. Although I loved him, it was hard to believe he may love me back.
I grabbed the bear from his hold hesitantly and looked at it before raising my eyes to match his.
"What's going on, Jungkook?"
He cleared his throat pulling at his collar. "I saw you cozying up with Daniel so I just thought I should admit my feelings for you."
"I don't know what to say."
"I know I've been an asshole—"
"An asshole? That's not even the half of it." He stopped abruptly and I just glared at him. "For our entire lives, all you've done was torture me. You made me insecure, you've emotionally abused me, and not to mention the times you insulted me or offended me. You made me hate myself all because of your stupid opinions about me. I've gone through hell trying to survive through your bullshit and now you want to admit your feelings for me?"
His eyes were wide and his jaw fell agape. I never expressed my true feelings to him. I also never told him how I felt about what he did to me in the past and I never stood up for myself. I just endured it. Hell I were pissed that he even had the nerve of standing in front of me admitting his feelings.
"Jennie—"
"Jennie? I've been so used to bitch I almost forgot that Jennie's my name when I'm in front of your face."
"Will you just shut your mouth and let me talk?" I kept my glare but stood silently for him to continue. "All these years I tormented you because I wanted to ignore the feelings I had for you. When we were kids, all you did was pay attention to other boys. When we started middle school, you ignored me as if we were never friends. In high school, you started to hate me for no god damn reason. And you're blaming me for ruining your life? For fucksake, Jennie Kim, I've loved you for years and not once did you ever think about me."
My glare softened and I stared at him in bewilderment. My heart dropped and my knees weakened. I didn't expect Jungkook to say that. Hell I didn't even know he looked at me that way. My feelings only grew for him in middle school but he loved me even in grade school. I was speechless. My lips parted to speak but nothing came out my mouth. He ran his hand over his face in frustration and glared at me softly.
"I knew I shouldn't have even tried with you." He said harshly. "You're hopeless."
He stormed past me brushing my shoulder and I turned around not knowing what to do. His friends stared at me in shock and they seemed like they had no idea what to do either. Then I spoke.
"I love you."
Jungkook stopped in his steps not turning around to face me. I gulped nervously but held my head up high ignoring the surprised expression on everyone's faces. It was probably like watching a soap opera.
"Jeon Jungkook, I love you."
He turned around this time his eyebrows furrowed together. I cleared my throat looking straight at him my hands fiddling with the bear I held. I bit down on my lip before speaking again.
"I was scared." I said bravely but soon softened my voice looking down at the floor. "I really like you, Jungkook. I really do."
After a couple seconds, a shadow appeared in front of me and his fingers lifted my chin to look up at him. He stared into my glossy eyes and stayed silent for a minute.
"You really love me?"
I nodded sheepishly at him, a blush forming on me cheeks. "I do."
"So I didn't waste my time and money?"
I hit him on the shoulder making him chuckle softly. "You didn't have to buy me all these gifts."
"To be honest, my friends bought half. I was kind of broke." He rubbed his neck guiltily and I laughed lightly moving to look at them.
The boys smiled when they saw the smile on my face. "Thanks for the gifts."
They nodded sending me a thumbs up. I returned to my spot and looked up at Jungkook.
"How about that senior who's been latching onto you? Aren't you two a thing?" I said a little in disappointment after remembering the reality of it all.
He shook his head at me. "I'll drop her in a second for you. Maybe shorter."
I rolled my eyes at him. "Are we going to be a thing now? Cause I think Daniel was going to ask me on a date today."
Jungkook's expression darkened and his jaw clenched immediately. I laughed at his reaction and shook my head to reassure him.
"I'm kidding, Jeon. Relax."
He grumbled angrily under his breath. "If I see him even touch you, I will break that conceited twig's arm. Maybe more."
"He's a good guy." I smiled evilly. "Obviously nicer than you. Oh, and adorable at times. Really masculine—
"Jennie, I'm not fucking kidding."
"I am though." I shyly reached over and intertwined my fingers with his causing an uproar in cheers and whistles from his friends behind him. "Not really."
"Jennie..." he whined in disapproval, a cute and playful tone I haven't heard from him in a long time.
"I would choose you first, Jungkook. Any day, you know that."
Jungkook looked at our hands and it was the first time I saw him blush. His cheeks turned rosy red and he nervously cleared his throat making me laugh again.
"Not in front of my friends, Jennie."
I smirked. "Why not? It's just me, I'm sure they won't mind. We used to do this when we were kids all the time."
I let his hand go to wrap my arms around his waist instead. He gulped looking over to his friends who just cheered him on with smirks similar to mine. I leaned my chin on his chest looking up to his face.
"I've been dying to have you wrapped around my finger for years so your reputation can wait." I whispered. "I think it's about time I repay you for making me miserable."
"Oh god."
"You're in for a ride, Jeon Jungkook."
"You're lucky you're you, you know?"
"You aren't forgiven but," I smiled cheekily. "I love you."
He smiled contently at me finally ignoring his friends behind him. He kissed me on the forehead wrapping his own arms around my shoulders tightly.
"I'll make it up to you eventually but for now, I love you too."
