Forget About Her

{SoonHee's POV}

I wake up the next morning completely exhausted from yesterday.

After what happened with MinAh and Jungkook, Jimin took me out for some ice cream and grocery shopping.

I'm seriously thankful to Jimin, because without him, then I would probably still be crying by now.

Plus I'm over it anyways. I just needed to eat my feelings away with ice cream. So I'm happy now. Exhausted, but still happy!

I flip onto my stomach and I'm about to fall asleep again when my phone starts to ring.

"Ugh what the hell", I grumble as I get up out of bed.

I pick up my phone from my dresser and look at the caller ID.

"Jungkook..." I mutter as I read the name on my phone.

"What could he want? Is he calling me to tell me about how MinAh and him got back together?" I say as my phone continues to ring.

I sigh as I set my phone back onto my dresser.

If I answer it... Then I'll hear how excited Jungkook is to be dating MinAh again..

Wait, why do I care?

I'm friends with him, I'm super happy that he's happy!

Jungkook and MinAh belong together. I no longer crush on Jungkook, so why haven't I answered yet?

I smile as I pick up my phone and click the green button.

"Hey Jungkook!" I say happily into the phone and silence answers me.

"You lied to me!" Jungkook says angrily after about a minute of silence.

"What do you mean?" I ask in innocence even though I know exactly what he's talking about. I hear him sigh and he says, "SoonHee meet me at the park that's across the shopping center in 10 minutes. Let's talk in person", he says and I gulp.

He sounds... Different..

"Um... Okay sure", I say and he hangs up.

I walk down the stairs and grab my car keys from the table as I stick my phone in my sweatpants pocket.

I'm just going to go out in my sweatshirt and sweatpants. I'm only going to be out to talk to Jungkook, and then afterwards I'm going straight home to continue my wonderful sleep.

Because I love some sleep and I'm still tired from yesterday.

I get in the car and it takes me 5 minutes to get there.

I walk around the park until I see Jungkook leaning against a tree, not facing towards me. I sneakily walk up to him and push him away from the tree.

"Boo!" I yell and I laugh. He looks at me with a blank expression and I can feel my smile retreating to a small frown.

"What's wrong?" I say and he scoffs.

"You lied to me SoonHee", Jungkook says.

"I had to. If I didn't you and MinAh would've never gotten together-"

"I didn't want to get back together with MinAh!!" Jungkook yells as he grabs my shoulders and my eyes widen.

"Wait. I though you still love MinAh! She said she still loves you too-"

"I know she still does! She confessed yesterday at the amphitheater!" Jungkook says in an aggravated tone.

"So... You guys aren't dating?" I ask and Jungkook removes his hands from my shoulders. He rakes his hands through his hair roughly.

"Of course not. It's her fault that I can't love again. How does she expect me to go back to her after she broke up with me over something as stupid as testing me?!" Jungkook yells in frustration.

"I-I'm sorry", I say as I watch him kick the tree.

"Hey! Watch where you're kicking! That poor tree never did anything to you", I say angrily and he glares at me.

"If you like this tree so much then just hug it why don't you! Or how about lie to it and say that it should meet up with you when in reality you made it so that this poor tree met up with its ex!!" Jungkook yells and I take a step back; feeling my anger starting to boil.

"Don't fucking yell at me!!" I say to him.

"Why?!! Do you not like it when I yell?!" He yells as he takes a step closer to me.

"No I don't!"

"What's your problem SoonHee?!! You don't like me touching you-"

"I already told you my reason for not liking to be touched!!"

"Oh yea you're reason?! Because I make your chest feel funny?! Is that it?!" Jungkook yells and I slap his cheek.

"I said stop yelling at me!!" I yell back.

"Why are you so weird?!" Jungkook yells as he looks back towards me, not phased by my slap to his cheek.

"You really want to know?!" I yell back as I glare at him and he crosses his arms, waiting for my answer.

I sigh deeply and say, "I don't like being yelled at because when I was younger, that's all my parents did. They fought and yelled at each other all the time and even yelled at me when they were frustrated. So I don't like others yelling at me."

He continues to stand there as he drops his arms to his side.

"I don't like being touched by guys because I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I'll start to really like them, then starting to crush on them, and then being upset if they fall for someone else. I'm scared of having a crush and having it turn to love, because all I know is that love hurts!! It's painful!! And I don't like things that are painful! In fact, I DONT BELIEVE THAT LOVE EXISTS ANYMORE!!" I say as I scream my last sentence at Jungkook. I breathe heavily as Jungkook stands there staring at me in shock. I scream and kick the tree in aggravation.

"Hey, don't kick the poor tree", he says and I glare at him. I look back towards the tree and pat it gently.

"Sorry...", Jungkook says and I look at him.

"You have nothing to apologize for. You asked, I answered", I say and he stands there in silence.

"Look, SoonHee... I already told you I was trying to get over MinAh, so obviously I don't want to get back together with her. You shouldn't have done that. All that did was made me hurt even more... Please don't do that to me again..." He says and I nod my head as I look away.

"But SoonHee, I believe that love exists", Jungkook says and I quickly look back towards him.

"I know it exists, because I felt it. I hope that someday you realize what love is", he says and I laugh.

"I'll believe it when I truly feel it", I say and Jungkook sighs.

"Well, have you ever had a crush before?" He asks and I hesitate.

Yea... You.

I quickly shake my head and he raises his eye brow.

"Wow really? Why not?" He asks and I sigh as I sit down on the grass.

"Well, because I never got close to other guys.. Except for Jimin but he doesn't count" I say as Jungkook sits across from me. He laughs and asks, "so you consider Jimin a girl or something?" I laugh and shake my head.

"Of course not. I just think of him as a really close friend or a brother. I can't crush on someone that's like a brother to me", I say and Jungkook nods.

"Do you think of me as a brother?" He asks and I laugh.

"We're not that close yet Jungkook", I say and he laughs.

"Good. I was hoping you didn't see me as a brother", he says and my eyes widen.

"Wait! I didn't mean it like that! I meant that it would be um... That uh.. It would be awkward if you already saw me as a brother..." He says as he scratches the back of his neck.

"But anyways, love is real. You'll know that once you crush on someone that it's real. Because having a crush is the first step to falling in love", Jungkook says as he plucks the grass. My eyes widen and I stare at him.

WAIT WHAT?!! That's the first step?!!!!

"What? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?" Jungkook asks and I shake my head.

"It's nothing!" I say quickly.

"But what if you got over your crush", I ask him and he looks at the grass again.

"Well that means that your heart doesn't want to like that person anymore, so you move on. And then the next time you have a crush on someone, your heart will decide if it wants to go all the way, or if it just wants some time to like that person", he says and I look away.

"So... I wouldn't- I mean your heart won't start to like that person again?" I ask and he nods but then hesitates.

"Eh maybe. But it is possible to fall for that same person again", he says and I gulp.

I really hope I don't start to like Jungkook again...

I nod and we sit there in silence for a couple minutes.

"I'm sorry about your parents..." Jungkook mutters and I shrug.

"They're fine now. My dad lives in the U.S. and I live with my mom here. I don't mind as long as I don't hear their arguments anymore",

I say as I pluck the grass on the ground.

Jungkook nods and we continue to sit in silence once again.

"So... Did you kiss MinAh back?" I ask and Jungkook's eyes widen as he looks at me.

"How did you know we kissed?!" Jungkook exclaims and I mentally face palm.

Damnit he didn't even talk about him kissing her!!

"Um... Because uh..."

"You were spying on us, weren't you?" Jungkook says and I shake my head as I feel my face heat up.

"Well uh.. Yea... But only because I was worried about you!" I say quickly and I cover my cheeks with my hands.

"Well why didn't you help me when MinAh was kissing me?!" Jungkook exclaims and I look away.

"Because... I thought you liked her kissing you-"

"Did you even stay long enough to see that I pushed her away when she kissed me?!"

I shake my head and he sighs.

"I um... Ran away after she kissed you", I say as I start to pluck the grass again.

"Why?"

"Because um..." I say and I start to trail off.

Damnit why am I blushing again?!! Ugh I'm so stupid...

I cover my face with my hands to hide my embarrassment and Jungkook laughs as he ruffles my hair.

"Don't hide your face! You look cute when you blush", he says and I feel my heart skip a beat.

No no no not this again!!!!!

I shriek and fall backwards so that I'm lying on my back on the cold grass. I continue to hide my face and I hear Jungkook laughing. I feel hands grab onto my wrist and he pulls my hands away from my face.

"Don't hide your face", Jungkook says with a full smile as he pins my wrists on the grass and continues to hover over my body.

"You... Fully smiled... You look really happy", I mutter and Jungkook's eyes widen. He immediately let's go of my wrists and sits up again.

"Yea..." Jungkook mutters and I sit up.

I peer into his eyes to see that they're no longer empty, but filled with emotion.

Embarrassment, happiness... And something else that I can't quite understand yet.

He looks down and scratches the back of his neck.

"Jungkook", I say to get his attention and he looks up at me.

"Do you still love MinAh?" I ask him and he shrugs.

"Well... My heart still races when I think about her..." Jungkook says and I sigh.

"I hope someday you can get over MinAh", I say sincerely and he nods.

"Honestly I hope so too. Being in love with her sucks" he says and I chuckle.

"Doesn't being in love in general suck?" I ask and he shakes his head.

"No, because if you're in love with the right person, then it's the greatest emotion you'll ever feel. It's like you're on top of the world... You feel so great and... Happy", Jungkook says with a smile.

"You feel like you can do anything. You feel like you're actually important to someone and that they're important to you. You feel like you have someone to protect, to cherish, and to care for", he says as he finally looks into my eyes.

"Being in love.. Was the greatest moment of my life, and I don't regret it at all", he says as he gazes into my eyes with his sweet ones. He smiles and rests his hand on mine.

"I hope someday you experience love, and the right kind too", Jungkook says and he ruffles my hair with his other hand.

Huh... Love?

"Isn't it painful?" I ask him and he nods as he lets starts to pluck at the grass again.

"Yea it's painful. I mean I'm a perfect example", he says and I shudder at the remembrance of how broken he was.

"But honestly... Falling in love with someone was the greatest thing of my life. I can say, now, that I'm no longer in love with MinAh, but of course I still really like her..." He says and trails off.

"Anyways my point is, is that yes love is painful, but if you fall for the right person, then they'll be the ones to catch you", he says with a sincere smile.

"So... As long as you fall in love with the right person, then it shouldn't be painful?" I ask and he nods hesitantly.

"Well even falling for the right person can cause some pain, but if you really love that person, then it's worth it in the end", he says as he looks up at the sky.

"Thanks Jungkook... For the 'love' lesson" I say sarcastically and he laughs.

"You're welcome. I guess I'm the love doctor", he says and I laugh with a shake of my head.

"If you're such a good love doctor, then why are you single?" I ask and he chuckles.

"So you're saying if, for example, that a doctor who's failed a surgery isn't a good doctor?" He asks and I raise my eyebrow to let him know that he should rethink his sentence.

"Wait... That was a bad example", he says and I laugh with a nod.

"Yep, that was a very bad example", I chuckle and he chuckles with me.

"Never mind, I'm not a love doctor... Don't trust me when it comes to love", he says and we laugh together.

"I wasn't planning to", I say and I smile as I look up at the sky.

We stay in silence as we continue to sit under the shady tree and stare at the puffy clouds in the bright blue sky.

"I missed hanging out with you", Jungkook says to break the silence.

"Honestly, I did too. You're surprisingly fun to hang out with", I say and he looks over at me as I continue to stare up at the sky.

I hear Jungkook sigh as he continues to stare at me.

"What?" I ask him as I finally look at his face.

"To be honest, as long as you're here, then I'm sure I can get over MinAh", Jungkook says in a soft voice while smiling softly.

I feel my heart flutter at his words and I give him a small smile in return.

"I feel honored to be the one to help you get over her", I say and he grins.

"Good. You should be since you're my first good friend that's a girl", he says and I lay down on the grass.

"Thanks", I say and he lies down on the grass next to me.

"SoonHee."

"Yea?"

"Aren't you afraid you'll get bugs in your hair by lying on the grass?" Jungkook asks and I sit up on my elbows as I look at him.

"Of course not. I can always wash my hair", I scoff as I give him a glare and I lay down on the grass again.

"Wow, that's a first" Jungkook says and I raise my eye brow.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing", he says and I roll my eyes.

"Kay, what ever" I shrug as I continue to look at the clouds.

"That one looks like you", Jungkook says as he points towards a cloud to his left. I move my head closer to his so that I can see where he is pointing.

"Hey! That does not look like me!" I say as I look at the dog-shaped cloud.

"Yea it does!"

"Oh? So you're saying I look like a dog?" I question him as I glare at him.

"No, I'm saying you look like a cute puppy", he says as he turns his head. Our noses touch and I hold my breath.

Too... CLOSE!

I immediately pull away and sit up from the grass. I place my hand over my heart to feel it beating in a rapid pace.

Aish this guy...

"You okay?" Jungkook asks as he sits up to peer at my face.

"Fine!! I'm fine.. Just fine", I say as I place my hand away from my chest and onto the grass.

"Aw~ did I make your chest feel funny again?" Jungkook says with a smirk as he gazes at my face.

"No!" I say as my face starts to feel hot.

Ugh, I'm blushing again?!

I try to cover my face but this time he holds my wrists.

"Hah! Try covering your face now!" He says as he sticks his tongue out.

"AISH! Jungkook!" I yell and he laughs.

"Aww your blush is so cute", he says and I groan. I try to wiggle my wrists out of his grasp but he tightens his grip.

He chuckles and says, "struggle all you want, but I'll never let you go!"

"Ugh Jungkook!" I say as I try to move backwards which makes him fall forward... On top of me.

His face is only a few centimeters away from mine..

"S-SoonHee..." Jungkook stutters and he starts to lean forward.

Is he... GOING TO KISS ME?!
