(1) Strike!
One Shot
Your phone rings obnoxiously for the 3rd time in a row. With a growl, you throw your textbook on your desk and answer the bloody thing.
"야! 전정국! 내 기말시험을 공부하고 있다고 이미 말했어! (Ya! Jeon Jungkook! I already told you I was studying for my finals!)" you start and before he could respond, you continue.
"What on earth is so important that you can't wait or text me later?" You ask exasperatedly.
You hear nothing on the other end so you remove the phone from your ears and check the screen to see if he hung up on you.
Nope. His caller ID -that strange ass selfie he took a while back- was still flashing across your screen and so you ask again.
"Kook? Hello?"
"...uh" he speaks up nervously and you pause. Was something wrong?
"Are you okay?..." you ask cautiously, all thoughts of studying thrown out the window.
"Yeah...yeah I'm good..." he mumbles and you raise your brows questioningly but then remember he couldn't see you.
"Okay...so...why are you calling me?..." you ask obviously and he chuckles nervously.
"Uh...actually...I...uh...wanted to go bowling?" He half questions half states and this time your lips twitch annoyedly.
"Jungkook?"
Another pause
"Yes?..."
"Do you remember what I told you the other day?" You ask sweetly. You hear him gulp on the other line and answer you.
"No?..." he mumbles back unsurely.
You sigh through your nostrils. "I said that if I failed this stupid exam, I won't be able to graduate. And if I don't graduate I'll fail at everything in life, I'll live in the streets, I'll have to beg for money..." you start but he doesn't react. So you continue.
"...and I won't be able to join you guys for the beach trip after I graduate. The same trip we've been planning months for." you end flatly and this time you hear a loud gasp.
There we go.
"But Y/N..." he starts and you almost forgot how stubborn this man was.
"...you know everything already...just come with me" he whines and you rub your temples tiredly.
"Why can't one of the guys go with you?" You ask doubtfully.
You could almost picture him pouting at your question.
Without missing a beat, he responds, almost as if he had rehearsed the whole thing. "Tae is in Jeju, Joon and Jin are back at their parent's homes, I can't reach Hobi, Yoon already has plans and Chim disappeared."
"Yoon has plans?" You ask doubtfully and he laughs. "That's what I said! And then he threw his shoe at me..." he finishes with a mischievous cough.
You sigh. "...fine. I'll go...you always kick my ass at anything sports related though..." you add on poutfully.
He chuckles lightly. "Nah! I promise that this time I'm really terrible at bowling. I just feel like doing it today"
You nod unconvinced, as you recalled the last time he said the same thing about badminton and then proceeded to kick your ass thoroughly. You don't say anything however.
"Alright alright. I'll get ready. You can come over in like 10 mins" you tell him, heading for your closet.
"Well... about that. I'm already outside" he tells you sheepishly. You glare at your phone.
"Did you expect me to say yes befo-" you mutter but are cut off by the dial tone.
"Son of a bitch... he hung up on me" you think while shaking your head.
You quickly got ready and headed for your front door.
———————————————
"Shoe size?" The man behind the counter asks boredly and Kook steps up.
"275 and 235 please" he asks and the man disappeared to grab the bowling shoes.
You glance at him in surprise. "You know my shoe size?" You ask, dumbstruck, and he flashes you a cocky smirk.
"I know everything. Your shoe size, shirt, waist and your bra si-" he says smugly but you shove him before he could finish his sentence.
You shoot him a scowl whilst subtly covering your chest. "You damn coconut! That's private shit!" You exclaim and he waves you off dismissively with a soft smile.
The man comes back.
"Here you guys go. That'll be 50,000₩ and you two will be in lane 10" He says, handing over the shoes and then waits
expectantly.
You reach for your wallet but Kook scowls at you. "Put that away" he demands and you look at him surprised.
"Huh?"
Quickly he hands his card to the man and paid for the entire thing. "You're not paying for shit" he explains stubbornly and you laugh.
"Kook. You should remember that the next time I offer to treat you to 삼겹살 (Korean barbecue) again, because you almost had me bankrupt the last time" you joke while placing your wallet back in your bag.
He flushes embarrassedly and clears his throat. "...I don't remember that" he mutters and you roll your eyes. "Sure you don't Kookie..." you say sarcastically as you move towards lane 10.
When you entered, you gasp. The entire room was glow-in-the-dark. You glance down at your white tee and see it illuminating.
Turning towards Kook you see his clothes do the same thing and you break out into a wide grin as you squeal excitedly.
"KOOK! This is so fucking cool!!" You say with a bright smile that creases your eyes. Jungkook freezes minisculy and stares at you with wide doe eyes.
You wait for him to say something but he continues staring, making your smile drop a little. "Kook?" You whisper and he shakes his head slightly as he shoots you his own grin.
"Ah...y-yeah! This is great right?" He stutters lightly while rubbing the back of his neck. Quickly, he moves to choose the weight of his ball.
"Huh...what's up with him?" You think confusedly but with a shrug you go and pick yours too.
Kook comes back with a couple of size 11's and 12's while you choose the 8 and 9. All of them glowed as well.
"Alright Kook. Just watch! I'm not going easy on you this time!" You say smugly while pointing at him challengingly and he snorts amusedly with a cheeky glint in his eyes.
"Bring it on Kiddo" he retorts and you scowl at the nickname. "Just cause I'm younger than him by a year..." you think, trailing off as you grab the first bowling ball.
———————————————
"HAHAHAHAHA. Oh my god. You're shit at this!!" Jungkook shouts with tears in his eyes as he slapped his thighs while struggling to breathe.
You pinch the bridge of your nose frustratedly and you briefly glanced at the scoreboard: another gutter ball. You look at Kooks score and most of it are strikes.
You still hear the roar of laughter behind you, so with narrowing eyes you stomp his way and pinch his cheeks.
"Ow. Shitshitshit Kiddo stop!" He screams in pain but with your grip on his cheeks it sounded more like "Ow. Shishishi Kiwo stah!"
After a couple of seconds you release him.
"...teach me..." you mumble and he cups his hands by his ear. "...what was that?" He asks teasingly and you huff.
"Teach me..." you say a bit louder and he rubs his chin thoughtfully as he smiled. "Hmm...what's the magic word?" He asks and you glare at him but quickly muster up a sickeningly sweet smile.
"Oh great Seagull please bestow your lowly subject with your wise knowledge!" You say loudly as you get on your knees and bow dramatically.
Some people turn and start whispering and this is when his smile drops dramatically as he shuffled out of his seat. "Y/N!!! Cut that out!! I'll teach you. I'll teach you!" He begs and you smirk smugly as you brush the dirt off your jeans.
"See? If there's one thing I can kick your ass at, it's embarrassing you" you say and he only rolls his eyes.
———————————————
"You need to fix your form and then..." he explains but you blank out the rest of what he said when you feel him stand and wrap his arms around you.
You never really thought about it until that second, but he was extremely muscular and full of warmth. Not only that, but he also smelt like cinnamon, making your knees a little weak.
Little did you know he was thinking the same thing.
He glanced down at your lithe form, feeling your smooth skin and the heat that radiates from your body. Your hair tickles him a little bit and you smell of something sweet, almost like brown sugar and he feels his pupils dilate.
He needed to back away before he did something you wouldn't like.
"...ddo...kiddo!" He says and shoves you lightly as you snap out of your daze.
"H-huh?" You mumble, turning to face him. Wrong move.
You both were in such close proximity that you couldn't help but hitch your breath.
The two of you were in your own world, zoning out the noise and people around you and almost unsurely he peers down at your lips.
You're so close that you could see his thick lashes clearly and the brown specks in his eyes. You notice that he slowly leans down and your eyes flutter shut unknowingly.
You couldn't tell if the loud thumping was coming from your heart or his.
His breath tickles your cheeks and he inches closer and closer, almost at your lips.
"YOU KIDS BETTER CUT IT OUT!" A man shouts from another lane and the two of you jump apart, shaken.
He looks between the two of you in disdain. "Tch...kids these days. Back in my time..." he starts and you embarrassedly shriek then grab Kooks hand, dragging him out of the bowling complex.
Now panting as your adrenaline slowly wore off, the two of you face each other.
A moment of awkward silence passes by and you see him stare at you uncertainly. Tentatively you break into a shy smile. You see his expression change slightly as he also begins to grin.
The two of you start laughing uncontrollably. After a couple more moments you feel him shyly take your hands and you feel yourself get lightheaded and flustered.
"...guess you really do know how to make people Jungshooked..." you mumble jokingly and he laughs even harder at that.
