I'm late. Shit. I had to be at the carnival by 12 pm and it's already 11:55 am. My legs ran faster than I could ever imagine. I could feel the burn in my calves as the wind hits my face. By the time I had reached there I was out of breath. Jungkook was there setting up the final touches as Mr. Lee and him have a little conversation.

   "Nice to see that you've showed up." Jungkook looks over at me with a slight smile. "Thought you almost backed out there."

  "Ha. Ha. So funny Jungkook."  My eyes rolled at his words. He hands me some water before going out of the booth. I take it from his hands, flashing him a quick smile before drowning down the bottle. Mr. Lee walks over to hand us some more water as he could tell I was literally dying.

   "Alright so people are slowly arriving. Don't forget to keep score you two! You will get a break around 2:00 pm until 2:45 pm and then the two of you will be continuing until 5:30 pm."  He gives us a high five before leaving. Jungkook and I look at each other, both with a smirk on.

  "Get ready to lose."  He mouths at me as I stick my tongue out of him, mocking his words.

People start arriving to our booths quite rapidly which Jungkook and I didn't expect. We slowly begin by explaining the rules to the players before they start. We both demonstrated how to play real quickly just in case the way we explained made no sense. Jungkook throws the ball at me which I thankfully caught in time before letting it hit my body.

  "And that is what you shouldn't do during this game."  He lets out little chuckle. My mouth hangs open as I threw the ball at his stomach which he let out a low groan.

  "And that is what happens if you decide to do that during the game."  I smile at the players with a quirky face on. They just laugh in response at Jungkook and I.

We count down from three before starting the time. As it goes off the balls coming past Jungkook and I. We begin tallying scores as our side score. I would occasionally glance at Jungkook to see him wink over at me which I just roll my eyes in response. So far at the end of the first game Jungkook only leads by one.

   "Good job!"  He high fives his player while handing him a prize.

  "You did awesome!"  I also give my player a high five before giving their prize. We set up the balls again for the next person in line. He puts up one finger to me with a slight pout.

I ignore his action and start to explain the game to the next player. Jungkook huffs before turning to his side. As the younger players finish and go within the first three and a half hours, we started to get some more people around our age after that. The only thing was all the girls would go to Jungkooks side and the boys would come to mine. Jungkook and I would exchange this look between the two of us. He starts to work his charm on the girls that would come to his side. I see what you're trying to do.. I lean over the table holding the ball in my hand as I explained to the guy about how to play. The girls would laugh at what Jungkook had said which made me more eager to make the guys on my side laugh as well. It took us about five minutes until we started which was bad considering there were people behind waiting. I shoot the guys a wink before Jungkook and I started the timer. Jungkook bites his lips while looking at me which I responded back by licking my lips.

  "If my team gets more points than yours this time then you owe me dinner after our shifts ends."  He shouts as they start throwing. The balls come flying fast as it team starts getting aggressive.

  "And if my team wins, you owe me some good dessert!"  I loudly say, trying to focus on the scores.

   "Oh you'll get some good dessert.."  My face heats up rapidly at his words. As the timer goes off my team yells loudly which scares the living crap out of me.

   "Yeah!!"  They all shout before the guy turns over to me and shoots me a quick wink.

"Why don't you say I take you out after your shift ends." He leans over to me as I hand him a prize. I look over to Jungkook seeing that he's watching the conversation happen. Apart of me wanted to say yes to make him jealous, but I knew I'd only do it to get back at him.

   "Mm.. how about no."  I push the prize into his chest.  "Thank you for playing though."  I smirk at him as he makes an 'ooo' shape with his lips in response to being hurt. He bites his lip before walking away. I turn to Jungkook seeing that he had looked away after catching my eyes while his tongue quickly swift against his bottom lip as he tilts his head to the right for a split second before slightly smirking,

"What's that on your face."  I still had a slight smile on. He shakes his head letting the smirk go away.

  "Nothing. What's on yours?"  He nods upwards as he pushes his hair back.  My smile leaves my face as I look up at him with the response "nothing." 

   "I see that those girls were interested in you."  I spoke while setting up the next round. He lets out a breathy laugh.

   "Yeah.. but I wasn't interested. I mean I can't flirt on the job." He takes a sip from his water. I nod in response agreeing with him. "And I thought we were going to have dinner together after this."

  "What do you mean? I won that round. I'm basically in the lead now so if anything you owe me dessert."

   "Dessert comes with dinner Clara. Come on.. I know you want to have dinner with me."  He leans closer to my side of the booth.

  "Are you flirting with me?"  Wait fuck I didn't mean for it to come out like that.

He lets out another chuckle.  "Like I said I don't flirt on the job."  He licks his bottom lip while looking into my eyes with his water. I let my stupid smile show as he said that. "But you though.. I've never seen you flirt before until today. Why don't you do it on me?"

My expression freezes at his comment. He wants me to flirt with him? Me?

   "Yeah right. You're just never around when I flirt. Why would I flirt with you? It's not like you flirt with me." I let out a tiny giggle while leaning onto the table.

   "Who said I've never flirted with you before?"  He closes the cap on his bottle before looking up at me. D-Did I hear that correctly?

   "Uh you wh-"

   "Hey you two lovers."  Maria snickers while holding Jimins hand. Jimin goes over to greet Jungkook as Maria sits in one of the seats. Jimin joins Jungkook while they talk and Maria hops over to my side. She pulls me to the side all glowy.

"I see that you and Jungkook are kinda flirting. I thought you said you hated him."  She snuggles up closer to me. I lightly push her away from me.

   "Woah Maria. We're far from flirting. I mean I can't even flirt."  I lied as she lets out a deep sigh.

   "You are such a fucking liar you know that? Don't deny that the two of you haven't been flirting a bit. Every time Jimin and I walk pass the two of you, you're always yelling at each other, shouting some flirty comments or what I call eye fucking each other. God Clara what is happening? Where's the hatred you two have for each other."  She crosses her arms waiting for a response. I look over to Jungkook to see him and Jimin laughing their asses off.

   "I-It's nothing Maria. We're just having some fun that's all. I mean it gets boring and we can't  start an argument in front of everyone here."  I shake my head while walking to the front as people start approaching the booth. Jungkook and I end up side by side as we greet the next players. The next few rounds consist Jungkook and I shouting at each other as we earn more points.

  "Looks like I'm in the lead by a few points. Why don't you say if I win.. we'll continue from what happened last night.. you know when you-" His body was now close to mine, whispering quietly into my ear so Maria and Jimin couldn't hear too much. My face turns into a fluorescent red as my body begins to warm up.

  "Mhm Jungkook I remember. No need to repeat that." I lightly push him away to ease up the air. "And if I win we cross out that choice of continuing that moment."  I look away, not being able to look into his warm eyes.

   "I thought you said you don't flirt on the job Jungkook."  Jimin calls him out as the rest of us laugh at Jungkook's annoyed look. Maria now pulled me over to the side, calling Jimin over to fill my spot in.

  "Don't forget to tally the scores Jimin! I'm counting on you!"   I shout before Maria drags me away.

   "Okay now you seriously need to tell me!"  She tugs me to the back of the booth so we were out of sight. "What is going on between you and Jungkook?? Just a few days ago you both wanted to rip each others heads off and now you two are going to continue from last night!"

   "Maria shush!"  I quiet her down as her excitement starts to show. She starts shaking me viciously to where I started feeling dizzy.

   "What happened last night? Wait no talk about what just happened right now. Wait actually no no start from the be-" She speaks rapidly as I tried to keep up with her.

   "Calm down first and I will tell you what happened."  I hold her shoulders down to keep her steady. She nods with so much energy.

   "Nothing really happened.. I mean we both came here last night to set up the stations and prepare for tomorrow that's all."  I shrug trying to hide it from her.

  "Bullshit."  She tilts her head to the side with her eyebrows raised.

   "Okay maybe we actually kind of got along and then we shared some laughter and then maybe when I went over to grab something from Jungkook I could of perhaps tripped over something and ended up against his chest as my hands were wrapped around his arms and his hands were placed on my hips.." My voice gets a bit higher near the end as I tried to conceal that feelings that just wanted to come bursting out. Her expression instantly changes as her mouth hangs open. She starts to jump up and down as I tried so hard to hide my stupid smile.

   "Did you two ya know?? Did you two kiss!!" She squeals quietly with me.

  "No we didn't. I backed away before anything else could happen."  Her expression drops as I told her. She roughly hits my shoulder causing me to wince in slight pain as I could feel little tingly sensations appear around the area she had hit.

   "You stupid!"  I rub my shoulder as she yells. "So what? You two just ignored it like totally just forgotten about it after that." 

  "Well yeah I mean what are you even suppose to do after th-"

  "Oh my god.. Do you have feelings for Jungkook??"  She cuts me off as my heart races like crazy as my body begins to shut down. Come on Clara.. this is your chance! Tell her. Get it out. Let these feelings out.

   "Yes! Yes I do have feelings for him."  Once the words left my lips a sense of relief starts roaming through my body. My body felt lighter and I couldn't stop smiling. 

"I've tried to push those feelings away because I didn't want to feel this way, but oh my goodness Maria.. I just wow. Every time I see him my mind goes crazy for him. It's like I can't think straight."  I clutch my chest as my smile grows talking about him.  "He's so stupid and some times I even ask myself why do I fall for him, but I really like him."  Maria had a shining smile on her face as she watches me gush over him.

   "Why don't you tell him?"

   "Oh nope. No. No way. I don't even know if he has mutual feelings towards me. I mean for all I know he could be just doing it for fun."  I place my arms that were crossed like an X in front of my chest.

  "Hey Clara. I think you should get back. Jungkook is requesting for you."  Jimin says while shooting us a smile.

  "We'll talk more about this after."  Maria shoots a dramatic wink. The three of us head out to the front as Jungkook waits.

   "Finally. Now I can really play this game."  He hands the ball to the final player in line. I look over at our points and it was a tie. Next round will determine who wins.

  "Good luck Jeon Jungkook. Don't worry I didn't forget to bring tissues."  I grinned as he laughs it off. As the time goes off all you could hear is the yelling of Maria and Jimin cheering our teams on. The time flies by so fast that once it rings we all shout loudly. The two of us quickly go calculate our points before comparing. After a few minutes we finally walk up to each other with our game faces on.

  "23,068 points."  His smirk grew as he waited for me. I let out an 'ooo' sound before looking back up into his eyes.

  "That's a lot.. but not enough to beat my 23,069 points."  I throw my hands up in the air while jumping happily. He smiles widely with a laugh while watching my reaction. I jump into his arms happily as I won by one point. He quickly responds with his hands wrapped around my waist.

Ba-boom Ba-boom..

My heart starts to race just like how it was last night. We stare into each others eyes as our smiles fade from our lips. He lets go before I could and congratulates me.

  "G-Good game."  He shakes my hand. I shake his back responding the same. Jimin and Maria both share a smirk as they hand out the prize to the players. They leads us out of the booth as our shift had ended. Jungkook has a flushed pink spread across his face as he walked beside Jimin. It was still sunny out so we decided to all go grab some dinner together before heading back into the carnival for some late minute rides. We go out for some Korean BBQ as Jimin was craving for. We share some laughs with each other as we talked a bit more about Maria and Jimin. Jungkook and I would occasionally look over to each other with a smile. I felt that maybe this wasn't so bad.. perhaps we could get along after this if nothing else goes wrong.

   "Let's go on the Ferris wheel!"  Maria drags us towards the line.

   "Such a cliche ride. Everyone goes on it."  I shoot her a look as we all stand in line.

   "Shut up. You love it. Anyways I wanna go with Jimin sooo Jungkook you'll be with Clara. Okay? Okay!"  She switches spots with Jungkook which ended with Maria and Jimin to stand behind us.

Honestly I thought she was just trying to get us to sit beside each other which I wasn't complaining, but everything else flew over my head. As we arrive to the front, Jungkook and I were placed into the tiny area. Once we start moving upwards Jimin and Maria waved goodbye saying that they're going to go on another ride. I shoot Maria a 'what the fuck' look as she brightly smiles and runs away with Jimin. Fuck I should of known. As the ride beings to move I slowly grip onto the bar tightly. Jungkook notices and places his hand beside mine.

   "Are you okay?"  He slowly asked as I nod very fast. He pulls me into the side of him as our shoulders touch.

"I totally forgot you're afraid on heights yet you still went on this ride.. pretty brave of you."  He says while looking ahead.

  "Mhm.. I thought I would of been okay but I'm kind of like getting very nervous." My grip begins to slips as my palms get sweaty. Jungkook takes my hands into his as his grip around my waist tightens, ensuring me that I was safe.

As we approach the top Jungkook clears his throat.

   "Look.. what happened at the beginning of the week I just want to say I'm sorry for everything. For that night, for that question, for that conversation.. I know I can be a jerk sometimes and I just want you to know I don't intend to be like that. It just happens."  He starts to grip onto the bar while admitting.

   "I'm sorry too... I shouldn't of freaked out that night and then freak out again from our previous conversation. I overreacted when it was wrong of me to do. I didn't mean to make it seem like I was putting all the blame on you."  I slowly place my hand on top of his. He looks into my eyes, giving my hand a slight squeeze.

   "Why don't we just say it was both our faults? Just so neither one has to take all of it."  He lightly laughs. I agree with him as my stomach began to feel like butterflies.

I didn't know what to say or what to do besides sit there with my stupid red face. As we move down to be facing in front of the carnival, Jungkook slowly calms me down and starts telling me to look at how beautiful everything looks all lit up at night. I slowly look around noticing that wow... every thing did look really pretty. A smile slowly grew more and more as Jungkook continued to distract me. The night shine from the moon lands onto Jungkooks' face. His smooth honey skin shins while his dark hair reflected a hint of brown as his teeth were bright white. His eyes were a dark yet warm colour.. I could get lost in them.. The ride starts moving back down and before I know it, it was time for us to get off. Jungkook hops off us and holding the chair steadily for me to get off. We walk off and start to head towards Maria and Jimin.

   "Thank you for that.."  I finally broke the silence between us. He looks over at me with a warm smile.

   "You're welcome. It was fun."  He turns back to look ahead of him. Something about tonight just made me realize that perhaps he's not so bad... The only question left is.. does he feel the same way?
