"I don't get the idea of soulmates and happy- ever- after marriages , you know," she says as she sweeps her jet-black hair from her face. "I know," I add after a pause to collect my lost self. The woman in front of me has been my best friend since kindergarten and the one person that occupied my mind 24/7. Her charisma and smile make her stand out from the crowd and is one of the things I truly love about her.

"I honestly think that many guys don't want a long-lasting relationship. And the ones who do want are people that I never see myself with. I hope it doesn't sound cheesy but, if I ever want a husband, I would want him to be like you. You are the best person I know, Jungkook," she says looking at me with those angelic eyes. I can never figure out how she can say romantic lines without her liking me.

"Then isn’t it easy for you to just love me and marry me in the future!" I scream into the walls of my head which may never reach her. I don’t have it in me to ask her out in fear of losing the precious friendship that lets me spend my every day enjoying her company

But then, I get a thought. An idea which seems silly and bizarre the more I think about it. But it tempts me enough to give it a shot. After all, I could say that I am kidding and let this be one of the many jokes we pull on each other.

"I have a solution. Let's date each other if both of us don't find a partner before our 25th birthday. After all, we have our birthdays on the same date." "What!" She almost spits her coffee out as she attempts to control her laughter. "Haha funny, Kook. Do you seriously think you would be alone and miserable until then? Look at you," she slowly starts to giggle "...and the girls that are staring at you who would marry you at this moment" she says laughing, pointing her lean finger at the group of cheerleaders from our school at the other end of the coffee shop.

"I am serious. I have the same reason as you. Do you think these people actually want me to be with them for more than 2 months? All they need from me are instagramable pictures to make their ex jealous." I say as I look away from her to gaze at the wall trying hard to be monotone. "Oh, I am so sorry, I didn't realize..." "It's fine, I was joking too." I smile knowing I can only wish it is.

"Let's do it then." she says. "You are not joking right?" No! It actually sounds fun!" "Okay then," I say as I try to control my wide grin and my heartbeat to make it seem normal like it was an everyday action that your crush wants to marry you.  She grabs my hand and places it on her palms. "I promise, kook."

“Kookie! You are here,” says a booming voice from behind which I instantly recognize. “Suga,” I say while trying not to act out as he just ruined my moment with her. “All of us are waiting in the car,” and he notices my crush. “Hey, y/n, what are you guys doing here…Ohh do you guys need privacy?” he says with mischief. “We are in a coffee shop for god’s sake,” she says, smiling.

“Anyhow, I am stealing your man for band practice. Sorry” He says with a serious face to which she just rolls her eyes and laughs. “Stop teasing, Suga,” I say before he makes me blush uncontrollably.

Regardless, I look back at my beautiful love with a smile knowing I will do anything to marry her. Even if it means sabotaging all her relationships until I can be with her forever.

“Listen, please get over YN. You do know that she has never shown interest in you right? And, she has a boyfriend now whom I'm pretty sure would propose to her anytime.” stated Namjoon as he leaned back on the sofa. I helplessly looked at Tae, hoping he would at least vouch for me. “Im sorry Jungkook, Namjoon is right here.” My heart sank when the rest of my friends -Jimin, Suga, Jin, and Hobi- nodded, looking down in disappointment. “I know you guys are best friends but she is like a sister to us too and I think it's better that you let her go,” added Hobi.

I realized that they wouldn’t support me in what I was about to ask them, which meant I had to do it alone.

I knew it was insane. But for the worse, I had already arrived at a point of no return. Seven years have past and yet, she became more and more irresistible. I wasn’t a maniac. I just loved her dearly. I was able to have a good life like a normal person in the day, but every night I played her image and our conversations over and over again believing that one day I would only have to open my eyes to see her at night.

Calm and joyful, she always was. I always lost myself in her voice, got carried away by her words into the deep video where it was just the both of us. Her mere presence always made my heart beat faster, even after all those years later. Apart from her vibrant personality, she was the most beautiful person I’ve laid my eyes on.

It was unfair to her, the pain she felt when she fell in love only for it to never last. But I was good enough for her. In fact, better. I could take care of her the best and understand her deeply, she said so herself.

I truly wanted to confess my everlasting feelings for her, but the more we became closer, the more I was hesitant knowing it would never be the same if I did and she didn’t accept it. But that wasn’t the only reason. She never saw me as anything other than the friend who stuck with her throughout. Isn’t that enough for her to fall in love with me?

I tried being with other women, hoping one of them would love me and I love them the same. But none could ever understand me and like me for who I am. In their eyes, I was the lead singer of a popular band. But in hers, I was Jungkook.

The paid actress I hired was part of an underground network who neither knew about me nor did she know who she was dealing with. I figured it was safer this way for me. She would be enough to dissolve YN’s relationship with Jackson. But guilt made its way into me as I found myself on the verge of tears over what I was doing. Questions about my decisions popped up and washed me over. “Is this even right?” “Will I ever be good enough for her after all I’ve put her through?” Nonetheless, I had already gone too far to back out now.

Author's note: What do you think Jungkook would do? Comment down your guesses! And, the next few chapters would be from YN's POV so stay tuned for tomorrow!

I let out a hearty laugh looking at the messages of my only best friend who always manages to crack me up. Even though he was extremely busy being a popular idol, he always came to my home every Friday to watch movies. I always admired him for his willingness and his ability to love someone dearly. I used to wish it was me, but I never felt worthy enough to be his friend, let alone his lover.

Sighing, I was about to switch off my phone, but a much more anticipated text reached me.

Jackson: Hey bae, I’ll coming in about a few minutes

YN: Sure, can’t wait!

All my thoughts were just about seeing Jack. Two years have passed and yet my heart got excited at the sight of his name; reasonably because he never could give me enough time due to him also being an idol. So every moment with him was something I always cherished. I was just one of the many fans he had, but fate brought us together after all.

I was just about to call Jack to pick me up when he himself calls me.

“Hey, when are you coming to pick me up?”

“The route is blocked, would you mind driving yourself?”

“Sure, absolutely. No problem.”

“Cool. See you soon.” he cuts the call.

Quick calls like those from him were something I was used to by then. I quickly went over my Mercedes before could overthink anything further. But then I got a text again. Thinking it was Jack, I scooped up my phone to quickly see who it was. It was from an unknown number. But I still went ahead to look into it as I didn’t get any spam texts from my private number.

Unknown Number: I know that your boyfriend is Jackson Wang. He is now in Cheshire Hotel’s bar with a woman. (Sends photo evidence)

I quickly got into my car, praying this was all a prank. No one knew that I was his girlfriend, so it would be Jackson who was pulling this prank. But he wasn’t a pranker type person and even if it was, this was a really bad one.

Miles flew by and I reached my desired place. Walking out of the car trying to control my breathing, I fought against my own thoughts from concluding as I walked in. Time seemed to have gotten slower as I felt my voice echo inside myself which described every bad outcome. Then for my own good or bad, I had reached the club’s door.

Frantically I searched for my Jack, hoping whatever reached my ears weren't  true. It just can’t be.

But to my dismay, I found my love sitting at one of the couches getting intimate with a stranger on his lap.

My breath became shallow the closer I walked towards my Jack, hoping all were just hallucinations. I started to feel a pain in my chest, as though someone sat on top of it. And the next thing I knew, I was on the ground semi-conscious in Jack’s embrace. Vaguely, I was happy thinking all were hallucinations. “Perhaps I was sick”.

But all answers came to me rather sooner.
