The skies thundered once again, and you knew what was going to happen. A huge black cloud was hovering over the region and it made you wonder if you could apologize to him today or not. I'm talking about Jeon Jungkook, the annoying neighborhood kid that made you wanna punch him.

Yikes, your relationship (or acquaintance-ship) was messed up.

You knew him since he was five, and yet he was still that annoying ass shit he was. He would randomly climb the tree next to your house and then pick up a fight. He annoyed you for reasons unknown. 

You positively reacted back and the next second you two would be rolling on the ground, trying to dislocate each other's necks. 

Now it was not like that. He matured a bit (and so did you) but he would keep annoying you. He would call you short for no reason and called you an angry puppy. Once you kicked him in the guts because you were on your period. And you didn't regret it a bit.

But now you are. Sure, maybe you had a crush on him. Even though he was annoying and cocky too, he had the most beautiful eyes and that nose of his was cute too. Also, he had cute habits that made you smile. Even though his shit-eating grin made you wanna break his kneecaps, deep down you had feelings for him. But you never realized until yesterday.

You were out with your friend roaming around, goofing around, and laughing. But you didn't know Jungkook was right behind you until she asked. "Hey, do you like Jungkook?"

You cringed. "Sister, who do you think I am? Some dumbass?"

"Uh no, it's just that..." she looked around the park you two were in as if she was going to talk something controversial. “You two fight. Fight like the leads in my enemies to lovers books.” then she had the biggest smile and started jumping. “It’s so fucking cute I SHIP YOU TWO SO MUCH!!! OH MY GOD, THE SEXUAL TENSION!!!!!”

"Ugh, you're reading those stupid books again. How can I like him when his presence just annoys me? He always has no reason to just pick on me. And the fact that everyone doesn't care and calls him the greatest guy on earth. Like ew. Sure he's popular and stuff, but don't they know that he's the worst? Like I find those people's taste disgusting."

"He never did pick on you."

"Yeah, but still!"

She frowned, thinking of something. "Hmm okay." 

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, let's go." But then you heard someone falling down. "Ouch." And weirdly, it was right behind you. You turned around and panicked, then a lot of guilt rose in your heart after seeing who it was. Jungkook was right there, with an expression that made you regret what you said. 

"Jungkook i-"

"I'm so sorry." He quickly apologized and ran away. "Damn, that was… quick." Your friend mumbled and kept on walking while you were standing there in pure shock and panic. 

That night you realized you liked him. And a lot. At first your dumbass thought you were just guilty about how you talked shit about him but got caught but then... something happened (like thinking about the times you felt TOTAL jealousy when pretty girls who were more pretty than you tried to talk to him and a bitter taste was in your mouth) and you totally realized you had feelings for him. 

 And you may be even regretted talking shit about him. 

So this is why you're going to his house and apologize (maybe even confess) to him.

You jumped over the fence and landed right on your knees. You tried not to make a sound and slowly sat down while massaging them. You wondered whether you should sneak into his room or go inside the right way. You chose the second option because it was much better and you didn't want to climb anymore.

You stood up after five minutes and went around the house. There were a lot of trees around his house for no reason. Maybe that's how he learned to climb shit. You rang the doorbell and ten seconds later, a woman opened the door. She looked like she was in her thirties and yet you're here looking like you got ten divorces and are on your eleventh divorce. She brightly smiled at you. "Hi. Who are you?"

You didn't realize that you were staring at her. "Uh, I'm Jungkook's… friend." Were you two enemies? Were you two acquaintances that hated each other? I don't know. He probably does hate you now.

"Okay." she suddenly yelled, making you flinch. "Guk! Your friend is here!"

"Who?!" He yelled back.

"It's a… girl?" She side-eyed you. "What's your name, girl?"

"___."

"___ is here!" Pause. "I don't have time to talk to her! I have too many assignments right now!"

"Yah! Jungkook, stop playing those games and get your ass here! Or I'll do something later." 

“Coming, coming!” Footsteps of him walking downstairs and then there he was. He was wearing a hoodie, some shorts, and his hair was a mess. Like he just woke up. Cute.

But then he looked really pissed, probably because of you.

"Finally, you came! Now talk to her outside and I'll be right here." She basically didn't let him talk, pushed him out of the house, shut the door and then locked it. "Oh wow." He said, rolling his eyes. "Now what do you want?"

"Jungkook I'm… I'm really sorry for what I said yesterday-"

"It's okay. I forgive you."

Umm, okay, you thought. That was quick. "Umm, okay also, I want to say something else. I-"

"I don't wanna hear it." He cut you off. "I'm sorry for… picking on you, calling you names, calling you an angry puppy and short. Basically, I'm sorry for annoying me with my presence. Excuse me."

He turned around to leave, but you clasped his hand. "Jungkook, you said your part now please let me say mine."

Narrator: I swear to god if she starts singing, I'll quit my job.

"I don't wanna hear it ___! Nor do I wanna listen!"

"Why?!"

"Because I… I can!"

"Seriously fuck you."

You grabbed him by the collar and kissed him. It totally caught him off guard and his eyes widened. You pulled away after a few seconds. "Meh goodbye I guess. You can pretend this never happened or you can yell at m-" 

"Kiss me again." 

"Eh?" 

He rolled his eyes and then held the back of your head, kissing you again. You immediately kissed him back, hooking your arms on his neck while his hands were around your waist. 

It started raining but both of you didn't care. This is what mattered now.
