Sometimes, I really needed to tell the negative committee of thoughts that resided in my head to sit down and shut up.

Right now, being one of those times.

All throughout the dance rehearsal, half of my brain was focused on teaching choreography to the members of BTS that were here. The other, larger half was imagining all of my thoughts jumbled up in my head, having very complicated discussions with one another.

Maybe V is sick or something, or maybe he has a family issue to deal with. That's why he didn't come to rehearsal today.

No, that's totally unrealistic. He didn't come today because after talking to you last night, he realized how awful of a person you are and now can't even stand the sight of you. And he's also mad at you because you stole his jacket.

He gave me that jacket!

You might think he gave you that jacket, but that may not be the case. Maybe you were overly aggressive and ripped the jacket right out of your hand. Maybe you completely misread his tone and body language and were imagining things. Did you even remember to thank him after he gave you that jacket, you ungrateful slob? See, now he thinks you're rude.

I mean...I think I remember thanking him...

You THINK? Since when have you ever thought about anyone else but yourself in your entire life? This is why no one likes you, Diamond! You are a selfish, ungrateful, waste of space human being. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Don't you think you're overreacting just a tad bit? I mean, you've known this boy for all of, like, 4 hours. It's not like he has some obligation to show up to every single rehearsal just to see your face. And why are you so obsessed with him anyways?

I wanted to punch a wall. Damn that stupid, adorable, selfish, insanely charming and frustrating boy. He was turning me into a panicked, worried child. Who actually CARED about things. And I had only known him for a day!

Was he doing this to me on purpose? Did he purposefully come up to me last night, and act all "romantic gentleman-ly" in order to win me over, only to completely crush my hopes today? Was this his idea of a joke?

I needed to resolve this, today. Or I would probably implode, or kill someone, or do something incredibly stupid that I would regret for the rest of my life.

The other guys must have noticed me silently fuming, and stayed surprisingly quiet as I went over choreography. When 12:00 rolled along, I called for a lunch break, and went over to the side to collect myself.

I'm going to go over to V's apartment, and face him like a woman, I decided with determination. The only problem was I had no idea where he lived. And I didn't want to ask any of the guys, because that would be the most awkward thing ever and would definitely clue them in that something was wrong.

As if answering to some silent plea, Jungkook jogged over to me with a shy smile on his face. "Hey, the other guys are going down to the noodle house for lunch, but I'm going home to check on V. You want to come with me? We could scavenge the pantry for some junk food or something, and watch some anime while we're at it."

I silently thanked the gods of luck for sending Jungkook the wonderful  savior over to me. Honestly, this was probably the luckiest thing that had happened to me in my entire life.
