Forget About Her

{SoonHee's POV}

"SoonHee!" I hear and I turn around to see Jimin jogging towards me with a huge smile plastered on his face.

I wave as he catches up with me and slings his arm over my shoulder.

"What's up?" He says and I shrug his arm off my shoulders with a roll of my eyes while playfully sticking out my tongue. He chuckles and he walks next to me.

"Do you really need to ask me what I'm doing Jimin? You already know what I'm doing", I say as Jimin and I continue to walk through our college campus.

He shrugs and says, "I know, but just because we're going to the same class doesn't mean that you could be going off to do something else."

I nod in agreement as we walk through the amphitheater towards the music classroom.

I love music class. Music has always been there for me. Without it, I wouldn't know what to do with my life.

When I was alone, I listened to my music. It was like the artists singing the lyrics could understand the feelings that I felt-

"Oh, by the way, I want to introduce you to someone important to me", Jimin says and I glance towards him with a raised eyebrow.
"Girlfriend?"

He chuckles at my response and shakes his head.

"No sadly not a girlfriend. I wanted to introduce you to one of my close friends..." He says and trails off.

"Uh sure, but why?" I ask nervously and he glances towards me.

"Well, you always know how to cheer people up. You've always helped me when I was down... And right now I have a friend that's going through a tough time. So I was wondering if you can help him out a bit?" Jimin asks and I sigh.

"Please? He hasn't been himself for a couple weeks now", Jimin says and I look to my right to peer at his face.

He looks really... Sad.

Ugh, he KNOWS that I hate seeing others looking depressed like that.

"Fine", I say as I cross my arms over my chest. Jimin cheers next to me and clasps his hand on my shoulder.

Well, he went from depressed to happy real quick..

"Thanks so much SoonHee!! You're the best!" Jimin says as we finally make it to our classroom.

"Yea... Okay", I mutter and I open the door. We walk into the classroom when I see Jimin's friends, also known as BTS, gathered in the front of the classroom, chatting about different things in general.

From what I've seen for the past year, they all seem like really nice but crazy people.
Crazy and weird, but in a good way.

They seem so friendly and cheerful all the time. I wonder if that's how they really act or if they're naturally that appealing.

But in any case, I never had the guts to talk to Jimin's friends.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm shy or anything. It's just that I never imagined myself being part of a group like that.

I scan my eyes through Jimin's friends when I realize one of them was missing.
Didn't Jimin have six friends?

I count all of his friends that are standing together in the group and see that there are only five standing.

Where's the sixth one?

I see something or someone out of the corner of my eye shuffle in the back of the classroom. I turn around and see a boy my age, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest.

Hmm... What's wrong with this guy??

I walk over to the boy that's leaning against the wall.

"Hey, you alright?" I ask and the boy continues to stare at the floor. I sense someone stand next to me and I look to my right to see Jimin.

"Come on man. You've been like this for weeks. Cheer up", Jimin says as he places his hand on the boy's shoulder. He shrugs Jimin's hand off and finally looks up from the floor.

"Fuck off Jimin", he says and he glances over at me and then back to Jimin.

"I know you brought this chick over here to try and hook me up, but it's not going to work. Can't you see that I don't want anyone else", He says in a rough voice.

"Jungkook, this time I didn't bring her over here as a date. I brought her-"

"As a friend", I finish Jimin's sentence and the boy named Jungkook stares at me.

"I don't need friends. I can't have friends that are girls-"

"Dude. You're single now. You can talk to girls all you want", someone interrupts Jungkooks sentence. I turn around to see a boy with silver/whitish hair.

"No. I'm not single", Jungkook says as he tries to leave.

"Jungkook yes you are!! Just stop with this bullshit already and pull yourself together!!!" the boy with white hair almost yells.

"NO NAMJOON JUST LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE", Jungkook yells and he starts to leave the classroom. I stare wide eyed at the place Jungkook was just standing and I glance towards the guy named Namjoon. He grunts, kicks the wall, and looks over at me.

Well that escalated quickly.

"I'm sorry about my rude behavior. It's just that Jungkook has been like this for awhile and its pissing me off", Namjoon says and I shake my head.

"No it's okay. I understand", I say as I glance towards the door that Jungkook walked through.

"Jin! Do me a favor and bring Jungkook back? He'll listen to you", Namjoon says and I look behind him to see one of Jimins friends with red hair jogging towards the class door.
"Already on it", he shouts as he leaves the classroom in a hurry.

"Well SoonHee, that's the closest friend I was telling you about earlier", Jimin says as he slings his arm over my shoulder again. I sigh and sit down on one of the chairs in front of me.

"So, at least tell me what's going on with him. Don't leave me clueless", I say as Jimin and Namjoon sit in front of me. They turn their bodies to face me and Jimin starts to tell me what happened. As Jimin continues to talk, Namjoom continues to sit beside him and nod in agreement to Jimins words.

They pretty much tell me the basics of what happened.

Jungkook dated a girl for almost two years and was absolutely in love with her. She broke up with him after they got into a small argument and she fell in love with someone else. Jungkook was heart broken and is now depressed. He doesn't want to let go of her because she was the love of his life.

Sounds like a typical sad romance story to me.

I sigh and rest my forehead on top of the desk in front of me.

"So how am I supposed to cheer up a guy who's heart broken?" I ask with my voice being slightly muffled.

"I dunno, that's what you're here for miss therapist", Jimin answers back as he pats my shoulder with his hand. I groan and I sit up straight.

"Why am I being sucked into this situation", I groan and I hear Jimin chuckle in response.

"It's because you like to make a depressed person happy. Face it SoonHee, it's who you are", Jimin says with a wink and I scoff.

What he said is true though... I find enjoyment of helping others...

I sigh and say, "fine I'll help him. But he frickin' hates me. How am I supposed to help someone if the person I'm helping hates me?"

Jimin chuckles and shrugs. "I never said it was easy. Plus, don't you like challenges?" I groan and give him a slight nod.

He knows me too well.

"Well if that settles it, then I might as well introduce you to all of us", Namjoon says and he calls over the rest of the group.

"Right guys, introduce yourselves", Namjoon says and the first to introduce himself was a boy with brown hair and milky skin.

"My names Min Yoongi. Some people call me Suga", he says as he shakes my hand. I smile and return his hand shake.

"I'm SoonHee Jeong", I say and he nods. We let go of the hand shake and a boy with bright orange hair bows slightly.

"Kim. Taehyung Kim", he says with a goofy smile and I chuckle. We shake hands and another boy with lighter brown hair steps forward and says, "I'm Hoseok, you can call me J-Hope if you want." I nod as he gives me a bright smile.

They all seem so happy and cheerful, until Namjoon brings up Jungkook. Then all of them go silent and their expressions turn serious.

All of a sudden I hear the doors slam open and I turn my head to see the red haired boy, Jin, walk through the doors while dragging Jungkook, the purple haired boy, by the arm. Jin brings over Jungkook to where we are and he smiles at me.

"Sorry for not introducing myself earlier. I'm Jin", he says with a smile.

"I heard that you'll be helping out our friend Jungkook", Jin says and I hear Jungkook scoff.

"I don't need help", Jungkook mutters and pouts.

"Yea okay, sure you don't", Namjoon says sarcastically. I can physically see Jungkook clench his teeth and he looks away.

Silence envelopes the entire group, which is extremely strange because they're always the loud ones in the class.

"Has anyone seen MinAh around campus?" Jungkook asks and the silence is finally broken.

"Who's MinAh?" I ask and Jimin returns my question with a short answer.

"His ex", Jimin says and I look over at Jungkook to see him wince at Jimins words.

Even though Jungkook is being stubborn and acting like a little child, I can't help but feel sorry for him.

Even though I've never known what it feels like to be in love, I know that love exists.
And I know that it hurts.

That's why I don't like being touched by other boys. Like if Jimin were to wrap his arms around my shoulders, I would shrug him off or take a step away from him.

It's not that I don't like skinship, it's just that I don't want to have a crush and then possibly fall in love.

I've heard love is painful... So why would I love someone who would just cause me pain in return?

Love is pain. So why would I want to feel pain? Might as well save myself the trouble by avoiding love at all costs.

"She's... Not my ex", Jungkook mutters and he looks at the floor. I sigh and ask, "she left, didn't she?" He continues to look at the floor and stays silent to my question.

"Has she come back to you? Did she move on?" I ask and there's no response from him.

"When someone doesn't respond, it means that the other person is right", I say and Jungkook finally looks up.

"Guys, I say we ditch class, just for today and talk about this somewhere else", Jimin says as he rests his arm on my shoulders. I move his arm off my shoulder and Jungkook looks at me questioningly.

"You don't like being touched?" Jungkook asks and I shake my head.

"It's a long story..." I say and Jimin coughs, knowing my reasons.

"Okay, let's go", Jimin says as we all start to leave.

We walk out into the center field of the campus underneath a big tree.

"Jungkook, you have to get over her", Suga says and Jungkook huffs.

"No, she'll come back", Jungkook says and I sigh again.

"Didn't she move on? Isn't she dating someone else right now?" I ask and Jungkook looks away. All of a sudden he takes in a quick breathe and I look to where he's staring to see a girl sitting on the grass next to another boy. She feeds him a grape and the couple smiles towards each other lovingly.

Is that MinAh? Is that why Jungkook is like this?

I look back towards Jungkook to see him gripping the front of his shirt while looking at the floor.

Poor guy...

I walk in front of him to block his view of MinAh and her new boyfriend and lay a hand on his shoulder.

"I know it hurts, but eventually you'll feel better soon... But it's better not to look right now", I say and I tighten my grip on his shoulder to give him a sense of reassurance. He tenses slightly and I remove my hand from his shoulder, thinking that he doesn't want to be touched.

He extends his hand and pulls my hand back towards him while wrapping his other arm around my back. I shriek slightly at the sudden gesture and he lets go of my hand. He takes his other arm and wraps it around me while tightening.

He hugs me tightly and bends slightly to hide his face into the nape of my neck.

I feel his shoulders shake as he cries into my neck while hugging me tightly.

It's as if I can feel his sadness radiating from him.

Even though I don't like the situation, I wrap my arms around him and give him a small hug back. I rub circles on his back to calm him.

"It's okay Jungkook. Let it all out. It's good to cry it all out", I say softly and he clutches me tightly.

"It hurts", he mutters in a shaky breathe into my neck.

"I know it does. Don't worry, I got you. It'll all pass eventually", I say as I start to tear up myself.

I guess I have a soft heart... Because now I'm starting to cry.

He's so... Upset.. I feel like I have to help him now. Seeing him like this hurts me.

I continue to rub his back to comfort him and eventually all I hear are his sniffles, signaling that he's stopped crying.

"Do you feel a little better?" I ask him and he lets go of the hug. He nods and he looks at me with puffy eyes. He raises his eye brow and brings his hand to my face.

"Were you crying?" He asks as he wipes a tear from my cheek. I chuckle and shrug.

"I might've. I cry when I see others cry", I say and I feel a hand on my shoulder from behind me. I turn to see Jimin giving me a small smile and I give him a smile on return.

"You did good SoonHee", I hear from Suga and I raise my brow.

"What do you mean?"

"He means that Jungkook at least opened up a little in front of us", Jin says and I look at Jungkook to see him wiping the stray tears off his cheeks.

"Why? He never opened up to you before?" I ask and they all shake their heads.

"Jungkook isn't good at expressing his feelings sometimes", Hoseok says and they all nod in agreement.

"Hey! I can express myself!" Jungkook says as he glares at Hoseok.

"Yea uh huh, sure you can Jungkook", Namjoon say sarcastically and Jungkook rolls his eyes.

"Hey! But at least you're actually talking and acting a little like your normal self again!" Jimin says with a huge grin and Jungkook looks away.

I'm about to say something when I hear a female voice behind me.

"Hey Jungkook! It's so good to see you again! I didn't think you were going to show up on campus anymore..." The girl voice says and I look behind me to see that it's her.
The girl knows as 'MinAh'.

I look back towards Jungkook to see him slowly moving next to me.

"Yea.... It's nice to see you too..." Jungkook mutters and I look back towards MinAh to see her frowning slightly.

"I thought you still wanted to be friends at least..." She said in a sad voice and Jungkook immediately takes a step towards her.

"Of course I do!" He says quickly and she chuckles.

"That's good!" She says with a smile and glances towards me.

"So... Is this girl your new girlfriend? I see you've moved on quickly then", she says and Jungkook shakes his head.

"Of course not. You already know that you're the only one..." Jungkook says and trails off.

"Well I saw you two hugging so closely so I just assumed-"

"No!" Jungkook says cutting MinAh off.

"She's an acquaintance", Jungkook says and MinAh looks over at me with a raised eyebrow.

"I didn't think acquaintances would hug each other like that", she says and I can't help but catch a hint of attitude towards the end of her sentence.
Was is just me or did she give me a dirty look?

Nah, it's probably just me.

"MinAh! What's taking so long", I hear a male voice as the guy she was sitting with earlier jogs towards us. He puts an arm around MinAh's shoulder and she smiles sweetly towards him.

I look over at Jungkook to see him glaring at the guy who has his arm around her.
"Sorry, I was just saying hello to an old friend", she says and glances at Jungkook. He looks away and I can see her smirk slightly.

Hmmm... Something isn't right...

"So MinAh, you should go back to your date", I say as I move closer to Jungkook, hoping that she'll get the hint.

For some reason I feel the need to protect Jungkook from this girl. She doesn't seem right to me...

Even though I only met Jungkook today, I still promised Jimin I would help him.
So that's exactly what I'm going to do.

"Oh no it's fine. We can stay here and talk. Right?" MinAh says and looks at her boyfriend. He nods and she looks back at me.

"See? We can talk... By the way, aren't you a little too close to Jungkook?" She says and I tilt my head questioningly.

"Awe~ ... Is someone jealous?" I ask sarcastically as I put my arms around Jungkook. He stiffens and I loosen my hold slightly.

I can't help but clench my teeth at the thought of hugging him.

I just need to breathe slowly and calm down my racing heart.

It's okay, I can do this.

I'm only doing this to test MinAh. Something isn't right about her..

"Of course not", she says as she wraps her arms around her boyfriends arm.

"Why would I be jealous? I broke up with Jungkook so it doesn't matter-"

"MinAh, I'm tired of you saying we broke up", Jungkook mutters and MinAh tilts her head.

"What? I'm sorry I can't hear you?" She said and Jungkook looks up. I remove my arms from around him and Jungkooks expression softens.

"I still can't believe you dumped me... For him", Jungkook spat and I look to see MinAh's boyfriend close his fists.

This isn't good...

"You know what? I think we should go. Come on Jungkook", I say as I pull his arm. He shoves me away and I clench my teeth.

This asshat actually pushed me.

Okay, I know I said I'm soft hearted, but if you pick a fight with me, then I'm no longer the nice person that you knew me as. I feel arms hold me back and I look up to my left to see Jimin.

"I know that look", Jimin says with a sigh and I smirk.

"What look?"

"The look that you always get when you're going to drop kick someone's balls off", Jimin says and I chuckle.

He knows me too well.

I sigh and shrug his arms off me.

"This time I won't. I will be calm", I say as I take a deep breathe. I see Jungkook advance towards MinAhs boyfriend and I grab Jungkooks arm and pull him back.

"Bad Jungkook", I say and I hit the back of his head.

"OW!! What the-"

"Don't fall for the trap Jungkook", I say with a roll of my eyes as I pull him away from MinAh and her boyfriend.

Seriously, Jungkook needs to learn some common sense.

He sighs and gives MinAh's boyfriend a quick glare. He glances towards MinAh and gives her a small smile.

"See you later Jungkook!" She says with a smile and she walks away, dragging her boyfriend along with her.

I sigh loudly and sit down on the grass.

"Thank god she's gone" I huff and I hear Jimin chuckle.

"Wow SoonHee. I'm proud of you! You actually held in your anger", Jimin says and I glare at him.

"I've been practicing patience and I meditate. Obviously I would become a calmer person", I say and I pluck the grass.

"And you" I say as I look up and glare at Jungkook.

"What??"

"Are you really that stupid to fall for an easy trick like that? She's obviously trying to get you jealous. Learn to use your brain and think for once. I assume that big head of yours has at least some sort of thinking muscle. Try using it for once", I say and I hear Taehyung and Jimin laugh while the rest of them hold in a chuckle.

"Hey!-"

"Always think about the situation you're in before doing an action. You might regret it later if you pick the wrong decision", I say in a calmer voice as I cut off Jungkooks angry tone. I hear a slow clap and I look up to Jimin to see him slowly applauding.

"You have heard the wise words from SoonHee everybody", Jimin says and I roll my eyes as I stand up.

"It's not 'wise'. I'm just saying common sense" I say and I feel a hand ruffle my hair. I look over to see Jungkook with his hand on my head while giving me a small smile.

"Even though you're insulting me.. I still want to say thanks for helping me out back there", he says and I give him a small smile in return.

"You are very welcome", I say as I fold my arms over my chest and take a step away from his touch. He frowns slightly and I ask, "so, do you consider me a friend now?"

He nods slightly and says, "yea I guess. Friends help each other, right?" I nod in agreement and say, "so I've helped you. Are you happy now? Did I succeed in cheering you up?" He shrugs with a small nod.

"Yea I guess..."

I cheer and punch Jimins shoulder playfully.

"My work here is done!" I yell and Jimin shakes his head. He looks at Jungkook and says, "you feel happy and cheered up right now, but if you were to see MinAh again, how would you feel?" Jungkook grits his teeth and folds his arms over his chest.
Damnit.

Jimin looks over at me and raises his brow.

"See? He's still the same" he says and I sigh.

"Alright alright", I say and look over at Jungkook. I take a step towards him and he glances at me.

"So Jungkook. Let's get some things straight. If you're ever feeling down, give me a call. I hate seeing people upset, so I'll try my best to cheer you up. I am your friend and as your friend I will continue to help you so you can move on from MinAh. Friends help each other, so I'll help you as much as I can", I say and Jungkook continues to look at me.

"So, promise that we're friends?" I ask as I extend my hand for a quick hand shake. He smiles and takes my hand in his.

"Friends." He states and we both smile.

I really hope that after all this is over Jungkook and I will be best friends

Just like how Jimin is my closest friend, I hope that Jungkook and I can be close as well.

Who knows? Maybe he'll be the one?

Nah I'm just kidding. Who would fall for someone like him?

Plus, I made a promise to myself that I would never fall in love.

So I shall never fall for Jungkook... Ever..
