Aliyah's POV
Jungkook leaned in, his eyes locked on mine as he began to speak. "Aliyah, I need your help with something." My heart skipped a beat as I felt a rush of excitement. What could Jungkook possibly need my help with? The room was filled with the warm glow of afternoon sunlight streaming through the windows, illuminating the comfortable couch and coffee table where we sat.
Just as I was about to ask, Yugyeom burst into the room, a huge grin plastered on his face. "Hey, guys! What's up?" Jungkook's eyes narrowed, his expression frustrated. "Yugyeom, can you give us a minute?" But Yugyeom was oblivious, plopping down beside us on the couch. "No way, I'm starving! Aliyah, can you make me some of those delicious chocolate chip cookies?" I rolled my eyes, laughing. "You're always starving, Yugyeom."
Jungkook stood up, his expression unreadable. "I'll talk to you later, Aliyah." And with that, he walked out of the room. As he left, he couldn't help but think about how much he was looking forward to talking to Aliyah, and how frustrating it was to be interrupted. He wondered if she would think he was just blowing her off, or if she would even care about what he had to say.
The next day
I sat in my room, staring at a piece of paper in front of me. I had been trying to plan out my confession to Jungkook for hours, but I was having trouble coming up with the right words. What if he rejected me? What if he didn't feel the same way? I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing thoughts. I had to be honest with myself - I was scared of getting hurt, but I was more scared of not taking the chance and wondering what could have been.
I began to write, my pen moving quickly across the paper. I wrote about my feelings, my hopes, my fears. As I finished writing, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. I had done it. I had put my feelings into words. Now all I had to do was find the courage to tell Jungkook.
Inspiration struck, and I decided to bake Jungkook's favorite chocolate cake. I remembered the countless times I'd seen him devour an entire slice (or two) at BamBam's birthday party last year. His eyes would light up, and he'd say it was the best cake he'd ever had. I mixed and measured the ingredients, carefully placing the letter on top of the cake once it was done. The aroma of chocolate filled the air, and I couldn't help but smile.
"Ouuu this looks good, you made it for me?" yugyeom busted in the kitchen eyeing the cake as he tries to dip his finger in it while I yanked it away
"No dummy" I said placing the cake and the letter in the box
"Oh who is it for then?" he asked grabbing a cereal box and a bottle of milk placing them on the counter then going back to grap a bowl and spoon
"Oh it's none of your business" I said then headed out of the kitchen "and eat fast we don't wanna be late for school "

I finally got to school and quickly ran up to my class, I'm just too happy and excited about today
I entered the class with a smile on my face and then I spotted yuqi
"Hey girl" I said hugging her
"Looks like somebody woke up at the right side of the bed this morning" she said as she smirked
"Oh hell yeah I did" I said squirming
"Ouuu, so what got you so energetic and why do you smell like chocolate?" She asked
"Well I'm actually planning to confess to jungkook", I said while looking shy " and about the smell, it's probably from the cake
"Omg, so soon, I'm so proud and I'm hoping he accepts like you're such a pretty b***h" she said while I just rolled my eyes
"Well I'm hoping so too,and if he doesn't I'm done with his ass, and bangchan is a lil cute too"I said nonchalantly
"Ouuuuu that's my girl" she said hyping up while I quickly went back to my seat and we began the class as our teacher walked in

Author's POV
It was finally lunch break and aliyah entered the cafeteria looking for jungkook, while holding the cake box, it took her five minutes before she spotted him
Aliyah approached Jungkook's table, her hands shaking as she held out the cake and letter. "I-I baked you a cake," she stammered, her face burning with embarrassment. "And I wrote you a letter." Jungkook raised an eyebrow, amused by her nervousness. "Oh, this should be good," he said, taking the cake and letter from her.
He ripped open the envelope and pulled out the letter, his eyes scanning the page. Then, he began to read it out loud, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Dear Jungkook, I think I might be falling for you...I love the way you smile...I want to be with you forever..." The cafeteria erupted in snickers and laughter, and Aliyah's face turned bright red with shame.
Jungkook finished reading the letter, his expression twisted in disgust. "Wow, this is...quite something," he said, his voice heavy with mockery. Then, he tore the letter to shreds and threw it in Aliyah's face. "You're really pathetic, Aliyah. No wonder you're still single."
He paused, a cruel smile spreading across his face. "You know, I was actually going to ask for your help with something. I have a crush on your cousin Jennie, and I was wondering if you could put in a good word for me. But now, I don't think I'd want to be associated with someone like you." The cafeteria exploded in laughter, and Aliyah felt like she'd been publicly humiliated.
"You're not even good enough to be my wingman," Jungkook sneered, his eyes mocking her. "Maybe you should focus on fixing yourself before trying to get attention from guys." Aliyah's eyes welled up with tears as she turned and ran out of the cafeteria, the sound of laughter and mocking following her.
She quickly ran out of the cafeteria with tears in her eyes, while running she bumped into someone then she looked up to apologise but the person spoke first
"Oh my god are you okay" the person asked while trying to help Aliyah find her balance
"Yes I am thank you, I'm Aliyah btw" she responded
"Oh I'm Christopher, most people know me as bangchan but you can call me Chris" he responded
"Oh I know who you are" she said
"Oh really? Well alr then imma head out, nice to meet you Aisha" he said why running off
"It's Aliyah " I screamed in hopes he heard me
