"I was wondering if you're free to go on a date with me this Saturday?"

I feel sick, God please tell me this isn't happening. I can't believe Jungkook dragged me all the way here to get me to go on a date with Namjoon!

"No way!" I instantly turned the offer down.

Namjoon frowned. "So you have plans?"

"I- well... no I don't, but-"

"Then it should be no trouble spending some time with me, yeah?" he asked, a hopeful smile slowly appeared.

I looked down, thinking frantically. There was not even a tiny fraction of my being that wanted to spend any more time than necessary with him.

"You've grown quiet, Y/N," he started. "I guess I'll just take that as a yes, then!"

I was about to yell in protest, but someone beat me to it!

"She's not going with you!"

"Jungkook?" I was shocked that he spoke up, and he looked... angry? But why? He was the one to arrange this meeting.

"Oh? What's this all about, Jungkook?" Namjoon questioned the boy with an intense stare.

Jungkook glanced over at me. It probably wasn't difficult for him to notice my nervous shifting and fidgeting.

"Y/N and I are dating! Yeah, so she can't go with you" Jungkook's voice shook so much that his nose might as well have grown, too.

Namjoon looked at him, unamused. He wasn't going to believe such a badly sold lie. I had to go along with it! I stood close to Jungkook, grabbed his arm with both of mine, and leaned my head on his shoulders.
Namjoon chuckled, then turned around and began walking away. So he was convinced? I watched him walk away, and I caught a glimpse of his face. He was just smiling.

Jungkook and I stood there for a while, in the middle of a mall. I realized I was still clinging to him, as if for dear life. Embarassed, I quickly released him from my death grip.

"Sorry..." I felt bad for all the trouble, even though Jungkook was the reason I got caught up in this mess today in the first place. Then again, he also helped me. I quickly added a soft "Thank you" that was just loud enough for him to hear.

I looked around a bit frantically, then hesitantly peered up at Jungkook.

What? His face is red. I do believe that is a blush. Oh, it is, it most certainly is. akjdjs

"Whatever, just forget it. I'm going home," he started walking away without checking if I was following. It was hardly a gesture towards me, but I still felt a strange pang of hurt.

"Hey, wait up!" I instinctively called out to him, and ran to catch up. "Well that's awfully rude of you," I added when he didn't reply.

"What is?"

"Leaving me behind."

"What's it to you?" he snapped, taking me aback. "You hate me, remember? And I announced that I'd be leaving. Don't tell me you've suddenly become sensitive."

I went silent, realizing the way I thought of Jungkook had made almost a complete 180 compared to our first encounters. I'd subconsciously accepted that we'd grown closer.

"Y/N, listen," he interrupted my thoughts.

I hummed a response, and looked up at the tall boy.

"I think it's best we stop talking to each other," he deadpanned. "I know I initiated our whole fiasco of a meeting, but I need you to forget about me. Sounds good to you, right?"

He kept on walking, convincing himself that I'd be happy with no longer knowing him. Well he was wrong...

"That's not true," I insisted. He stopped in his tracks.

"What?" he was clearly shocked.

"I mean, uh," I stumbled over my words while trying to explain." that idea- well, it doesn't really... sound good. S-so I object, you FOOL!" (*twirls cane and talks about my past, because I'm actually Excalibur*)

An unbearable moment of silence hung around for what felt like hours.

After seemingly reassessing what I said several hundred times, Jungkook finally spoke up. "You don't hate me?" Hope shown in his eyes, but doubt thickened his voice.

I pondered over a response. I deemed it unwise to hastily say that I actually enjoy his company. I barely even know him, but I know for sure that I don't hate him... anymore.

"All I'm saying is it's not exactly normal to just cut ties with someone for no reason," I said, "and I guess I don't uh find you thaaaat dislikeable these days." I pushed out a laugh to clear the tension building up in my chest.

That wasn't weird was it?

Jungkook must've been convinced by what I said because he walked beside me, matching my pace. He was also displaying a beautiful smile, so I guess he didn't really want to stop knowing me. Maybe that means we're friends? ...Nahhh that didn't sound right for some reason.

"Jungkook?"

"Yea?"

"Want to hang out with Suga, Woozi, and I sometime?" I offered.

He frowned, and said, "Just you and Woozi is fine, thanks."

I glared at him. "You and Suga should make up. I have no idea why you two fight so often, but I don't feel comfortable being caught in the middle of your differences or whatever this farce is."

He thought for a moment. "I won't hit him anymore," he concluded. "That much I'll promise you...Unless he deserves it"

"Ok then, here!" I held out my phone to him. "Instead of punching Suga's face, you can punch your number into my phone." I winked for humor's sake. (is it sad this would be me trying to flirt? kill me😂)

Jungkook eventually took my phone, after some hesitation, and entered in his phone number.

"Ok I'll try to convince Suga and Woozi to go out with us. I plan to persuade them by Friday, so I'll keep you updated through text."

"Why not just tell me in person?" he questioned.

"I've missed a lot of time with my best friend. I should really keep him company this week." I smiled, thinking fondly of Suga.

"Alright, whatever you say," Jungkook breathed out a laugh. "Well, here's the mall exit. I'm going straight home, see ya."

I, too, headed home right away. I wanted to rest from today's exhausting events. I also wanted to tell Woozi and Suga about my plan to hang out this weekend. I was nervous thinking about how Suga would act, but, for some unexplainable reason, I wanted to see Jungkook more, despite Suga's opinions. It was so refreshing to see Jungkook behave better.

All these little thoughts swirled in my head during my jog home. When I got back, I immediately went upstairs, showered, then rolled into bed. I didn't worry about doing any homework. Instead I turned on my phone and noticed a text from Jungkook:

And so Jungkook and I played Overwatch together. It was awkward at first but eventually we were talking game plans and working together well. I had a good time playing with him. We stayed up late that night, gaming. I also received Woozi's number from Suga and made a group chat. I knew Suga would oppose the idea, so I would have to work a bit harder to persuade him to hang with Jungkook.

A/N another chapter is finally out!!! My two friends really helped inspire me to write, not only on this story, but also on other drafts that I'll be working on as well.

Did y'all have a nice Valentine's Day?

I was hoping to publish this chapter yesterday so i could wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day but I failed😵😵

Anyone here play Overwatch? If so, who do you main? I, myself, main Lucio, zarya, mercy, than widowmaker :3

One more thing lol I decided instead of including Hoseok into the story, I'll just write a separate story for him eventually.

Hope you liked the chapter! Please stay updated!♡♡
