A month have passed and I decided to finally distance myself from Seulgi. It didn't stop her from walking with me to the dorm or dropping by my dorm room unannounced.
"Find a girlfriend." Hobi told me as he was doing his beauty routine. "She wouldn't distance herself until you find yourself a girlfriend because she's thinking that you're still hung up on her or something. Are you? Is that why you're not dating? It's been months since you two have broken up."
"No! I just— I never really— I never really pursued someone before." I said lying down my bed.
"You have got to be kidding me. A good looking guy like you and you never asked a girl out?"
"Usually, they're the one who tells me they like me— or— Seulgi and I were friends and she's the one who confessed to me." I admitted and looked down from the bunk bed. "Maybe you have some girl friends you can introduce to me?"
"Fuck you! I'm not gonna introduce to my friends for them to be your rebound." Hobi throws one of his used tissue to my face. "It'll be weird if you date one of my friends — especially when you think I don't wake up whenever you and Seulgi do it on your bed."
We both laughed. It happened only one time. I know Hobi would wake up but I didn't care.
It was a nice distraction but it reminded of my problem, how she still asks if she could spend the night even if we broke up.
"I don't know what to tell her anymore." I said. "The whole school thinks we are still dating."
"That's why you should date someone else! Is there anyone that interest you at school?" Hobi asks. "If you find someone I'll help you— I don't think I could help you with Seulgi though."

There is. In Calculus.
The students came pouring in but somehow my eyes were glued to her. Her smile was missing this time and she was grunting when she took the seat in front of me.
"What's wrong?" Lisa asked. Based on their frequent conversation, I have known their names.
"As usual." Y/N said as she slumped.
"How much do you need?" Lisa asked. "I think I still have some extra money left."
"It's not money. It's the spawn of satan." Y/N said. "I can't sleep last night. He brought another girl home."
"Then just get out of there. Be my room mate." Lisa shrugged her shoulder as the professor went in.
"If I had money to pay you I wouldn't have second thoughts of being your roommate." Y/N sighed and the class began.
——
When the classes are over, I still can't think of how am I gonna introduce myself to her. I was wishing she would look at me and smile but she never does.
In retrospect, She rarely looks at people around her.
Then my opening came through when I found her along the corridor talking to Jimin as he gave her a bag of CDs.
Jimin dashed off to my direction nodding. but I grabbed his arm. "Yo! Wassup? You need anything?" He said quite surprised of my action.
"Do you know Y/N?" I asked.
"That Y/N?" He said pointing at her as she walk away briskly and I nodded enthusiastically. "Uhmm— kinda— why?"
"Hmmm— can you— maybe introduce me?" I told him but his face was conflicted. "Just her number—"
"I — don't— know— Okay, to be honest, I don't wanna Tae. I mean we're friends and shit but— nah wouldn't go there." Jimin scratch his head and smile. "Gotta go."
"Wait!" I said.
He seems deaf as he ran faster. "Jimin—" I called and thankfully he stopped. "Why? I mean— is she taken? I don't see her with anyone."
"For a good reason. She's not dating anyone because of a reason." Jimin said. "Look, a girl like that why do you think nobody's asking her out?"
"Does she have STD?"
Jimin hit me in the head and rolled his eyes.
"I don't understand—"
"She's kinda— uhmm — bad for you?" Jimin admitted.
"Let me figure that out for my self. Just give me her number. Come on— you owe me— With Seulgi." I said not really thinking he was at fault with anything that happened with Seulgi and I but I know he's guilty.
Jimin cleared his throat and with a wince he spoke, "She's— she's Jungkook's room mate." Jimin almost whispered.
"So? Unless they're dating then—"
"I don't know what her circumstance is but a girl who could stomach Jungkook's appetite for sex, she had to got to have some baggage as big as mount everest—" Jimin then look me in the eye. "Aside that, if you date her. You know what happens. You will interact with Jungkook everyday."
"Who says about dating her? — I just want to talk to her— maybe get to know her more— hell, she might not be interested in me and you're talking about—" I said but Jimin was already shaking his head.
"Wake up, Tae. Do you believe that there's a girl in this campus that wouldn't at least give you a chance?" He scoffed but then turned serious. "I care about you—just take a girl. Any girl Tae, not someone who's close with Jungkook."

It seems even fate is making sure that we won't meet. All the seats near her is always taken. Even if I came in early, they would sit far away from me.
She always rushes out saying she needs to cook for the spawn of satan. Which I'm guessing is Jungkook. She seem to hate him but she cares for him.
I ran out of option.
I went to the very person who I very much detested.
"Jungkook." I called while he was sitting under a tree probably waiting for his next class or his next lay. "Can we talk?"
"Isn't it a bit too late for that?" He smirked at me. "I didn't slept with her again if that's what you're going to ask. I heard you guys got back together."
I sat beside him, something that I didn't imagine doing. I assumed that I would punched him by now. I'm still pissed off by what's his done but the pain I felt that day was long gone.
"We're still not together." I said.
Jungkook looks puzzled. "And you need to talk to me because? Look, she never approached me after I told her I'm not into relationship— Tae I know I'm an asshole if you're here to beat the shit out of me— just do it— I'm not into small talks and I don't like guessing games."
"Instead of beating you up— I have a favor." I said looking at him.
"What? I'm not smart if you need help with your subjects, I can't— if you're into guys, I'm flattered but—"
"Let's drink at your place. I'll bring the beer— tonight at 7pm— I'll go to your place."
Jungkook let out a chuckle. "Are you gonna cry cause I don't do that shit either— I don't listen to sob stories."
I stood up and dusted myself. "It's not about that— I'll be at your place at seven."
"HEY!" Jungkook called. "What's this about?"
"Your roommate, Y/N— maybe you can introduce her to me." I waited for the anger, for a supposed protective friend, but all I got is his confused face.
"That's it?" He asked. "I fucked your girlfriend and you wanna fuck my roommate to get even."
"I never said anything about getting even." Jungkook was laughing at my statement. Now I'm even more confused. "I'm interested— I find her interesting— wait— are you mad?"
"Pfft— why would I be. Our walls are thin so— get me a noise cancelling headset and we're okay." He smiled at me and shrugged his shoulder.
"I don't mean to do that."
"Just the same."
"I— I have one right here." I said and he snatched the headset and examined it. I cleared my throat before speaking but his eyes are still glued to the headset. "So— you won't be mad if we hook up."
"Yeah— I mean— the girl hates relationship and sleeps around— if that's what makes us even then I don't mind not bringing a girl tonight." He said and stood up.
"She sleeps around?" I asked. It never occurred to me that way— She's friends with Lisa— the party girl but she doesn't look like she'll sleep with anyone for fun.
"She's just good at pretending to have a sweet image but as soon as you're clear with your intention she'll hop on your dick. Probably kick you out after and then avoid you if you said you're into relationship— so— tonight at 7, I'll wait for you with a dozen of beer." Jungkook smiled. "Thanks for the headset."
There were things I wanted to ask but he put the headset on and walked away.
It looks like they weren't even friends. It looks like I was worried over nothing.
On the dot, I was at their place after spending the whole afternoon begging Jimin to give their address. It was Jungkook who opened the door with a slightly pissed out look on his face.
"Bro!" I exclaimed which causes him to clench his jaw in anger. "Are you sure it's okay? Wouldn't your roommate be mad?"
"Nah! She's more than a maid than a roommate." Jungkook said. "Are you happy Mrs. Doubtfire?"
There's a part of me who refuses to believe that she's was what Jungkook was saying she was. She was immediately irritated with Jungkook's remarks and immediately said "I'll be in my room."
I raised my brows at Jungkook and he rolled his eyes. "Hey! Don't sleep yet." Jungkook called. "Who would clean after us?!"
Then I saw it, the broken smile, the sadness in her eyes, the self pity emanating from the way her lips curve.
I wanted to at least talk to her but it looks like she was really tired.
"Kook, don't be a dick. It's okay, you can rest. We'll try to be quiet." I immediately said. "I didn't catch your name?"
"Y/N."
I know that already— but it's nice to hear every syllable rolling from her lips.
"Taehyung." I said offering her a smile. "If you want you can join us, there's enough beer."
It was only a few seconds but I'm glad I somehow managed to lift her frown only to be taken away by her looking to Jungkook seemingly asking his approval as well.
"My master might be mad that I'm too drunk to clean tonight." She glared at Jungkook while he raised one of his eyebrows at her. "Just call when you're finish."
I looked at Jungkook nudging him to make her stay and Y/N did. We talked although I wish Jungkook wasn't between us.
The good thing was, she knows me. She knows my name. The bad thing was, she also knows about Seulgi.
When she asked about how Jungkook and I knew each other, I was tempted to say "because she fucked my girlfriend in our dorm's bathroom after sending her a fucking video of her sucking his dick which I saw."
She was funny. She made me laugh with her jokes. Something Seulgi never did.
How I wish she was into relationship. How I wish we could spend more than a night. I was praying she won't kick me out as I decided to answer that kiss of that plump lips of her.
