Oh, it was so awkward. For Jungkook as well.

Seokjin and Jiyeon sat on the couch and Jungkook was leaned back in his seat, cringing as Seokjin's uncertain gaze was set on his girlfriend and she had no idea how he was looking at her. Jungkook could almost feel the one-sided tension from his seat.

A few glances were thrown to Jungkook by Seokjin as if to ask for help, but Jungkook simply shrugged and nodded his head towards Jiyeon. Seokjin needed to do something by himself.

He took the signal, clearing his throat before straightening his back and leaning towards Jiyeon to catch her attention.

"Your eyes," he started, and Jiyeon turned her gaze to him, looking a bit confused by the sudden words.

"My eyes?"

Seokjin nodded. "They're pretty," he complimented. Jungkook kind of wanted to laugh at the way Jiyeon's eyes lit up as if he'd never complimented her a day in his life.

"Pretty? My eyes? That's the first I've ever heard you say something like that, Jinnie~" She teased him, but as Seokjin's head fell in embarrassment, Jungkook's eyes widened at her.

He's seriously never complimented her before? Who is this guy?

As Jungkook was in shock, Seokjin reached out for Jiyeon's hand. "I want to treat you better." Jiyeon took his hand excitedly, gripping tight and giggling in pure joy.

For a moment, Seokjin had a smile on his face. Jungkook could tell that he felt accomplished, having Jiyeon's hand finally in his— because their silly little plan had worked— but for some reason, his face fell after a second.

He looked over at Jungkook and their eyes locked. Something seemed to be on Seokjin's mind. Jungkook took it as a sign to leave, so he slowly stood up and pretended to yawn.

"Ah, I'm so tired. I'll leave you two to it," he said as he began walking to his room, with Jiyeon telling him goodnight happily and Seokjin was silent as he slipped away.

He didn't think that Seokjin needed his help anymore. He figured that since Jiyeon was happy, Seokjin was happy as well; no more to it.

Jungkook was done helping them.

Mission accomplished.
