JEON JUNGKOOK

SLEEP was the only thing precious to you. No one else mattered. Nothing else mattered. Maybe other than a small Bambi-eyed idiot who was staring at you from across the classroom and pelting your chair with paper balls. You had thrown him a glare and a middle finger but he didn't seem to care. 

As the bell rang, signalling the end of the day, you decided to leave the classroom and the campus for good. You did not wish to stay in this hell hole longer than it was required. "Y/N. You have cleaning duty. I hope you remember.", the teacher reminded you, cutting short your quick escape. You let out a groan as you drop your books on the front table and forlornly watch the rest of the class peter out, strongly wishing that you were one of them. 

Taking the mop and tablecloth from the closet in the classroom itself, you begin to shift the chairs and desks in one corner of the room as you cleaned out the dust and dirt of the day from the floors. As you picked up the strewn paper balls from the floor, you couldn't help but curse Jeon Jungkook, the Bambi-eyed idiot. Finally, you manage to clean the entire classroom and arrange the desks and chairs in their rightful position. Now, for cleaning the trash aka the best part of the cleaning duty as it signalled that you could go home after that. Emptying the trash into the trash can in the backyard, you return to the classroom, stretching your arms and swinging them mightily. You were happy as it was the last day of school before Christmas Eve and you could sleep the entire holidays. 

As you entered the classroom, you found Jungkook sitting at the front desk, along with some other guys you assumed were his friends. You paid them no attention as you put the mop and the tablecloth into the closet and gathered your books from the table, ready to leave the dratted classroom. 

But it seemed that fate had different plans for you. 

"Y/N! W-Wait!", Jungkook stuttered as he stood up to face you. Huh? That was weird. You raised an eyebrow in his direction as you pulled your books closer to your chest feeling insecure as to why the cutest boy in class would want to talk to you. From the corner of your eye, you could see the rest of his friends, some with different uniforms as well, stand up and edge closer to you as Jungkook walked up to you, his cheeks tinted red. Must be from the cold, you assumed. 

"Uh....are you....um...f-free tonight?", Jungkook asked as he ran his fingers through his hair, offering you a shy smile and a 'lost-boy' look. You felt your cheeks heat up as you struggled to find words to answer him. Was he asking you out!? You mentally slapped yourself as you pushed the thought out of your head. You were dreaming, right? As you battled with your mind, his face became crestfallen with each passing second. 

"Um....yes, I guess?", you said as you wrung your hands together and looked at your feet. Honestly, it was either working 2 hour shifts at the nearby coffee place or vacationing on your bed along with all the sugar available at your run-down apartment. Frankly speaking, you had zero social life due to balancing school and work since the time your parents bailed on you. Or rather, you had finally put your foot down 5 years ago and had walked out on them. 

"Uh...ok! Pick you up at 8 pm then?", Jungkook asked, his voice ten decibels higher. You smiled internally 'cause he sounded cute and shy. He was nervous as well, you couldn't help but think. 

"Cool.", you said as you turned on your heels and bolted out of the classroom, albeit in a dignified manner. From behind, you could hear cheering and wolf-whistling which managed to deepen the red colour of your cheeks. You wonder what the rest of the girls at school would think. Hopefully, all your limbs will be intact. 

- TIME SKIP - 

You let out a sigh as you look at the pile of clothes on your bed. As usual, the laundry had been piling up which leaves you with an empty closet. As you look at the phone to check the time, you find that it was already 7:30 pm. So, without further ado, you pull out a pink hoodie and a pair of skinny jeans. Slipping on a pair of docs, you let your hair lie open. You weren't much of a makeup person, so you decided to apply a single coat of mascara and a matte mocha lip gloss. As soon as you finish applying the last coating of the gloss, the doorbell rang, signalling Jungkook's arrival. You tried to calm your racing heart as you opened the door for him, trying to put on a smile. 

But the smile vanished the instant when you saw him and instead, your eyes widened as you gulped. He looked.....hot. Leather jacket with a white t-shirt underneath, black skinny jeans and biker boots. He was the definition of a hot mess. "Um....hey?", he said as he ran his fingers through his hair which made you bite down on your lower lip, lest you say something to ruin the evening. "H-Hey!", you reply after a few seconds, in a voice unlike your own. Damn! The school uniform didn't do justice to his looks. He smiled cutely at you and said,"So...um...shall we?" You nod, not being able to form a coherent sentence, as you lock the door behind you. 

As you both descend down the staircase, a motorcycle comes into your view. "Oh! I forgot to...um...ask....Are you...um...ok...with riding motorcycles?" You looked at him with widened eyes but nod. As you get onto the motorcycle, you pray silently that you don't end up dead. "Hold onto me. It's a bit fast, but you'll get used to it.", he said as you wrapped your arms across his stomach and clutch onto him for your dear life while the vehicle roars into life and speeds down the road. At first, you want to jump off. But then, you slowly get used to it. The speed doesn't scare you anymore. Everything feels....normal. 

"We're here.", he said, as he stopped in front of a small hillock. It was dark, but you could still make out the shape. You secretly smiled at your foot. Thank goodness that you had worn docs. Jungkook let go of your hand and tied a blindfold on your eyes. "Is the blindfold really necessary?", you asked as you felt slightly uneasy due to your lack of night vision. Jungkook doesn't answer and a few minutes later, you feel yourself being scooped up into his arms in bridal style, which made you let out a small squeak. "Y-You don't have to carry me up there!", you said, absolutely mortified that the cutest and most sought after boy in school was carrying 130 pounds. "I do.", he said firmly as he continued climbing the hillock with easy, as if you were nothing but a feather in his arms. He gently put you down on the ground and said,"Close your eyes." and removed the blindfold. You quickly shut your eyes, forming crinkles at the corners. 

"You can open them now.", Jungkook said, the smile evident in his voice. You open your eyes and gasp as you behold the scene in front of you. "T-This is so pretty, Jungkook!", you said as you look at the fairy lights adorning a makeshift blanket bed with some snacks. Since your childhood, you had loved fairy lights, but your parents seldom brought them home. "Yes. Very pretty.", Jungkook said whilst looking at you. The glow of the fairy lights couldn't compare to the glow of happiness on your face. He takes your hand into his as you both sit down on the blanket bed, the entire night sky and brightly lit buildings of Busan visible from your advantageous position. "This is my favourite place. I usually end up coming here most of the nights.", he said, as you cuddled with him under the blankets. "It's truly mesmerizing. Thank you for bringing me here, Jungkook." He smiled at you as he said,"I've always wanted to bring you here. Since the beginning of freshman year. But, you could say I was shy and awkward to approach you." Your eyes widen as you hear the words tumbling from his lips. Was it true? Your cheeks were graced by the infamous blush as you broke off eye contact and stared out into the horizon. 

As night turns to dawn, the first rays of sun gracing your cheeks while you lay on Jungkook's shoulders, you let a smile grace your lips. It's the first genuine smile in months you've been able to muster. Or years, rather. Jungkook wraps his arm around your shoulder and pulls you practically into his lap. "Y/N...I think this is the perfect I've been looking for.", he said as he looks at you in all seriousness and taking your chin in between his index and thumb, plants a chaste little kiss on your lips. You open your mouth, giving him full access to explore, while you wrap your hands around his neck and smile on his lips. You couldn't have asked for a better ending to the date. 

"Be my girlfriend?", Jungkook asked as he broke the kiss, his lips red and swollen. You merely nodded as he claimed your lips in another kiss, this one not as chaste as the first. But you didn't mind. All you could think about is Jeon Jungkook, your Bambi-eyed idiot.
