Don't wait to lose something or someone before you realise their true value. It might just be too late

"What's with you two?"

The pair looked up to see Taehyung staring at them with an evil grin

"Huh?", Soo Ah question him.

"What was that in that stall?" Taehyung asked them pointing at the stall.

"It's nothing Tae, You know that idiot Hoseok, he gave me a dare to do and that involved that", Namjoon explained and Soo Ah nodded simultaneously.

"Don't you think your head will pain if you keep doing that", Taehyung chuckled at Soo Ah's continuous nod. Soo Ah just glared at his comment while Namjoon giggled.

"Tae", Jimin yelling coming towards him.

"I am right here Jimin, I am not running away", Taehyung responded with a tone of sarcasm.

"Leave about that now, Kyunghee texted me that she will be going to the cotton candy stall, she asked me if I could join? Will you come along too?", he asked in an excited tone.

Taehyung stayed silent for a second.

"It's okay Jimin, go along. I am not in mood to eat one right now", he mouthed with no emotion.

"Fine then, see you later", Jimin went from there.

He didn't feel it nice somehow. Cotton Candy always stays as a beautiful memory for them and solely for them. He felt a bit sad that she invited Jimin, though he doesn't envy him. His mood drained out now. Namjoon looked at his brother's change of expressions. He knew something is off but decided to stay aloof.

"We will be roaming, will you come along?", Soo Ah asked Taehyung breaking his chain of thoughts.

"No, it's okay. Jungkook will be waiting for me", he lied and Soo ah went from there along with Namjoon who was still bothered about his brother.

"I am always failing huh", Hana sighed in frustration.

She was at this stall since half an hour. She was trying to shoot the balloons with gun. The one who hits ten balloons will get a showpiece. But it isn't a normal one, it showed two sisters under one umbrella. She badly wanted to gift Kyunghee that one. She felt bad when she couldn't give her the bunny the day before.

"One more time", she paid for the eleventh time till now.

"Okay, this is the last. I will go if I don't get it", she had her fingers crossed. She must hit ten balloons with fifteen bullets.

She started shooting, and missed the first one already. She huffed in frustration. Fortunately the next three bullets popped straight. She squealed in excitement or rather say surprise. The people around looked at her weirdly. Why wouldn't they? She was stuck up there for more than half an hour for now.

She again aimed at the center balloon, but alas! She missed it. And another one too. She facepalmed herself for being excited for nothing. Only two more misses left, she thought and aimed for the shot.

"You wouldn't get it like that", a voice made her stop.

"Huh?", she looked at Jungkook who was giggling perhaps at her aiming skills.

"I am not used to this anyway. I am just trying", she sighed again trying to get the aim.

"I don't think you are just trying", he spoke looking at the tokens on the ground and she bit her tongue in embarrassment.

"Fine, I want that gift okay?", she pointed the showpiece.

"You will need my help then", he came closer to her. He bent down a bit to match her height and held the gun from her back. She was petrified for a second at his sudden touch. It was like him hugging her from back, goosebumps were all over her body.

"I am shooting then", his voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

"I only have two misses left", she whined as he was about to shoot.

"Don't worry darling, I wont miss any shot", he spoke with his usual tone, but this time darling hit her different. Perhaps the proximity being the main reason why she is feeling like that.

"Yah! Don't call me that", she retorted to hide her nervousness.

"I am sorry, I was just kidding", he giggled and she could feel his breath over her neck. Why does he have to do this? Was the thought running in her mind. She could feel her heartbeat thumping two times faster than usual.

All her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the balloon being popped.

"Woah! You did it in the first try", she exclaimed forgetting the proximity for now.

"I said you I wont miss it, didn't I ?", he sneered at her and she smiled. He shot all of the next shots, not even missing one.

"You are really good at this", she exclaimed while taking the showpiece and thanking the person in-charge while he looked at her with an all-smile face.

"Let's go", Jungkook held her hand and dragged from there.

"What's wrong?", she asked him confused at his stupid action.

"Didn't you see that guy? He is being obvious", he scowled at her.

"What do you mean?", she was utterly confused now?

"That guy at the stall. No wonder why he has given you so many chances", he huffed in anger. She was perplexed why he is reacting like that.

"Why are so concerned about it?", she crossed her hands while asking. He stuttered for a minute and then spoke

"I was just being protective about my friend okay?", pressing his lips into a thin line. She smiled seeing him like that. All we could say is a new friendship is blooming.

"Let's go to Tae, he is alone over there", he pointed at a man standing alone and she nodded moving towards him.

"Today was so peaceful", Yoongi sighed.

"Just because we didn't play anything? You are such a lazy ass you know", Jungkook scowled at his brother bring an absolute bear.

"I like it this way", he defended himself.

"I know, I know Mr Sleepy head",the younger brought the popcorn to the couch

"Yah! Little shit, this is the fifth time we are watching Harry Potter this month", Yoongi complained as his brother clicked on the movie.

"Then what shall we watch, Fifty Shades of Grey?", Jungkook smirked

"Aish! This little shit.", he gave a knock on Jungkook's head with his knuckles while the younger yelped in pain.

"Such a rock", he muttered

"Will you both stop fighting now?", the elder joined them.

"See this idiot wants to watch Harry Potter again and when I asked him about that, he is suggesting Fifty Shades of Grey", Yoongi growled looking at his younger brother.

"Jungkook ah, don't irritate him always", Jin ruffled his younger brother's hair

"It's okay leave that anyway hyung. He gets irritated no matter what it is", And Yoongi gave him a glare. "Hyung, what about Ara noona? Is she okay today?", he mouthed and Jin's expression turned into a sad one.

"Guess it will take a long time Jungkook, I don't want to force her to talk to me. I will wait", Jin faked a smile.

"I don't think it will work", Yoongi declared as he knows the other part of the story.

"What do you mean?", Jin asked him confused and so was Jungkook.

"Did you do a mistake?", Yoongi asked and Jin nodded in negation.

"Then why do you have to wait? In the first case, why didn't you even tell her that you like her as a woman?", Yoongi shot at his brother.

"I don't want to rush things Yoongi"

"Then why are you making it obvious. Not just in front of us, you are being the same way in front of her too", Yoongi groaned making the room fill in silence.

"Do you think it will make everything right? Being obvious and not confessing your feelings. You don't even know why she is ignoring you? Did you once ask her strongly? You just left it to her choice of sharing it with you. That's not going to worked", Yoongi sighed after his words.

"What should I do now?", Jin put hands over his face realising what he has done. He was just trying to talk to her rather than knowing her problem.

"Confess it before it's too late. I don't think you want to lose her", Yoongi placed his hand on Jin's shoulder and Jin nodded.

"Thank you Yoongi. I just didn't really think of that", Jin mumbled and Yoongi hugged his elder brother.

"I never thought this rock thinks like this too", the younger one also joined the hug.

Fest Day-5

Jin's Pov

"Ara", Ahh this girl became very stubborn. She has been ignoring me since two days and showing attitude to me. Even now, I have called her six times, and not even one response. To be honest, I am very angry. I want to know why she is doing this.

"Ara, we need to talk", I held her arm. She was trying to get out of my grip but I am not going to leave her. I tightened my grip even more. The only thing I pray is, I don't want her to use any of her boxing skills on me.

"What's wrong with you?", she was clearly irritated.

"That's a question I should ask you madam", I loosened my grip and stared at her.

"I'm fine. Just don't bother me", she scoffed and started walking.

"Hey! I didn't complete my talk. Look at me", I held her arm and turned her towards me.

"But I completed mine, so leave me", she looked down. I am sure she has something to tell

"This isn't the Ara I know. What are you hiding from me?", I ask her now certain that something is bothering her.

"Why? You don't like this Ara. You want an Ara who always smiles and talks to you sweetly?"

What the hell is she speaking? I never meant it like that. What's wrong with her these days?

"Ara, you know I don't mean it like that. And now don't create more arguments and just come straight to the point. What is the reason you are like this?, I demanded her and I could see her eyes glistening. I clearly hate to see her cry and now me being the reason for it is literally crumbling my heart.

"Ara, please don't cry", it's okay even if she doesn't tell me the reason. I don't want her to cry for now.

"How should I tell Jin? Why did you even befriend me? Had I not looked like your mom, you wouldn't have even looked at my face. Now tell me, didn't you approach me because I looked like your mom?", she shot all those words at once and it took me a while to process all of it. And even before I could react, she ran away wiping her tears.

Shit! That night! I should have explained her more clearly. She just jumped into conclusions even without hearing my part. Oh my dear Ara, I need to tell you so much. Now that I know what is bothering her, it will make things easier.

End of Jin's Pov

Jungkook's Pov

As we were walking, I could see Jin hyung and Ara noona joining us later. I guess they didn't settle things yet. I could see Ara noona front of us and Jin hyung back of us. I could see Sleepy Head looking at both of them and eyeing at Jin.

Now I couldn't see what Jin is telling him, Hosoek hyung covered them.

"Don't you think things aren't good between Jin and Ara?", Hana interrupted my task of peeking.

"I know. Should we talk to them", I asked her in a funny manner. I don't really want to but I want to play with this girl beside me.

"Yah! Are you hit in the mind or what?", she looked at with her eyes wide agape. It's funny to irritate her.

"Oh come on! Noona is right in front of us", I pointed at noona and she hit my hand indicating me to lower it.

"Such a jerk! Don't you try doing such stupid things. I will drop you right into a lunatic asylum. And yeah don't call her noona aloud. She will punch you right through your face in this situation. Though I like the scene, I don't want bruises adorning your ugly face", she chuckled at her own words. Seriously, her words have the complete sass and I don't know how my situation would be if they turn into reality.

"Ouch that hurts!", I did my signature position. I caught my heart as if something hit it and she giggled.

"Will you not talk to me?", I could hear Kyunghee's words. What happened?

"I am not in mood Kyunghee. Go and tag along Jimin", Tae replied coldly. What's wrong with them again?

"We were just good a day back", Kyunghee sounded a bit low.

"I will talk to you later. Just be with Jimin for now. Go to the cotton candy with him", Tae sounded a bit irritated. I don't want to eavesdrop more but I could observe even Hana is doing that.

Now I couldn't hear anything except for few sounds of whispers. I am curious now.

"What's wrong with them now?", Hana whispered and I shrugged my shoulders. And I could see Kyunghee running to Jimin glaring at Taehyung. Were they always like this?

"They were really good friends and could be had it not been for me", Hana sighed in guilt. And as I have thought, it is true. Hana and Taehyung's relationship back then had to do something with their friendship.

"It's okay. I don't know what happened but I am pretty sure it will be okay", I convinced and she nodded.

"Hey! Shall we have that ice cream", I pointed at the ice cream stall and she nodded. And I dragged her form the rest.

"What would you like?", I asked her but she ordered.

"One chocochips and one cookie dough", she ordered. Does she still remember that I love that flavour? I just mentioned to her once.

"My treat", she handed me my ice cream.

"You still remember?", I asked and she gave me a questioning look. And then I pointed at the ice cream.

"Ahh. How couldn't I ? I remember that Kookie loves Cookie joke?", she giggled and I smiled.

"So, is chocolate chip your favourite?"

"No, I always change flavours, but I hate strawberry", she gave an eww look mentioning strawberry and I chuckled.

"I hate strawberry too"

"But you know what, Taehyung loves strawberry. He always orders a strawberry flavoured dessert when we were on date", she blurted. Were they serious?

"A date?"

"Don't you know? We dated before. We went on a few dates too. But as we continued, we realised we are more like friends than partners, though he dumped me first", she took out a breath.

"Did you guys kiss?", I asked her out of nowhere. Am I crazy? Who the hell would ask that? They dated for a while, that means they can kiss. Why did I even raise this question?

"What was that?", to my surprise, she started laughing.

"I feel so embarrassed to say that we never kissed. It was just holding hands and talking stuff. I never kissed someone", she smiled and after a second her smile faded.

"Excluding that night", she blurted and it hit me. I must have kissed her too. I really feel guilty now, for grabbing the first kiss from her. She must have really felt bad.

"I am sorry"

"No, it's okay. We thought about forgetting it, didn't we?", she asked and I nodded. And then we had our ice creams in silence.

"Yah Jungkookie, Hana come here", Tae called us and we went to him.

"Will you participate?", he asked.

"What?", we both asked in unision.

"There's this ramp walk competition in ten minutes. Jimin, me, Yuna and Soo Ah have already registered. Will you?", he asked me and I thought for a while Hana already gave a straight no.

"What about Jin hyung? He is really good at this?", I asked him and he nodded his head in negation.

"He said he's not in mood to do so", he mouthed and I nodded. I could see Hyung staring at noona. I just hope they would patch up soon.

"I am not interested", I spoke and Tae left from there to the person in charge giving the confirmation of members participating. I am sure it is his idea. Well ask me to design anything, it would just take a few minutes, but ramp walk is not my cup of tea. I know I am handsome but not at the cost of people gawking at me while I walk on the ramp. Confidence issues.

There it was set. It was really nice. The MC was speaking something and we sat at the audience section along with the others.

"You know Taehyung is so good at this. I am sure he would bag the Mr SNU title", Hana spoke without looking at me

"You sure know a lot about him", I eyed her suspiciously.

"I know him from childhood. We were family friends, not so close you know. But Kyunghee and Taehyung bonded well so i may know more about him", she revealed and I smiled. It is making me feel so good when she is sharing her things voluntarily even though they are just casual ones. This is how friends should be.

It started with the guys and as they announced the names, the respective person came and did the walk. I am surprised all of them did really good. And they called Jimin, all of us cheered loud and there he went all shy on stage. Anyone could observe that shy smile on his face. And few others names were called and lastly Taehyung was called. We shouted loud, but to my surprise, there were so many cheers apart from us. Hana was indeed right, he was born with that charm. He was so smooth and gave a smirk at last. Boy!! That hit my heart.

Hey! I am not thinking in that way though. He sure have stolen millions of hearts. I could see the girls ogling their eyes as he did the walk.

And now it is the girls turn, Yuna's name was called and she came out. I did cheer for her and Hana looked at me thunderstruck. I know, me and Yuna are born to fight against each other but still she is my friend. I remember how she apologised in the hospital though she has nothing to do with it.

There were girls walking, some with most shimmering dresses. And our friends just did the walk in the casual clothes. And there came Soo Ah. Guys were cheering loud. Ahh, and when she smiled, everyone gave an "AWW" sound. And I heard someone utter

"Beautiful"
