You blink with your brows raising in surprise. Your heart started to race and you could feel your lips becoming dry.

Those words sent a joyous, fluttering feeling all over your body. You didn't know why you suddenly felt such away. It was confusing, to say the least. Quickly you look away with your bottom lip poking out into a pout.

"W-whatever," you grumble. "I'm still mad at you." You turn away from Jungkook and situate yourself back on the couch.

You then hid your face behind your phone, attempting to calm yourself. Jungkook winces slightly while looking away guiltily. He felt bad ever since last night for walking out like that.

What was worse was that he worried you for not answering your messages. He thought you'd be fine without him, it seems he was wrong. Letting out a deflated sigh, he shakes his head before looking back at you.

"I'm sorry, Jisun," he apologizes. "I should've answered those messages."

"Yeah! You should've!" You shout back. "I couldn't sleep because of you! You have no idea how worried I was."

Were you really? Jungkook thinks. After all, he saw Taehyung come out of your apartment claiming he made out with you.

Maybe you were and probably wanted to get your mind off it all. Or maybe you're saying that just because you're friends.

Realizing what he was thinking Jungkook quickly rids those thoughts out of his mind. No, he mustn't think like that. That's all in the past and he vowed to himself to keep fighting no matter what. Something so small like that won't bother him.

"I know, Jisun. I feel bad for doing that," he mumbles. You decide not to answer, letting the silence lay cast over you two like a veil.

Jungkook watched you quietly as you scroll away through your phone before looking around. Your kitchen light was off and there were dishes in the sink. You probably didn't eat yet.

"Did you eat yet?" He asks awkwardly.

You let out a small, hmph. "No, I haven't."

Jungkook slowly looks back at you and begins to chew the inside of his cheek. There was no need to feel nervous, it was just you.

"Let's go out and eat then," he suddenly blurts out. You quickly stop scrolling and slowly look up at him. He looked like a shock as you were.

"What?"

Jungkook's eyes widen in realization and his cheeks began to flare. He quickly looks away from your gaze. He didn't mean to say that so suddenly.

He was going to say he hasn't either then ask. Jungkook swears to himself, his mouth was quicker than his head. He places a hand behind his head and starts to rub it nervously.

"I-I mean, I haven't eaten either so . . ." He trails off as he takes a risk to glance at you. You sat up straight while staring at him blankly. A small frown forms in your lips and Jungkook starts to panic.

"Think of it as a way of me apologizing!" He quickly adds. "I'll take you out and pay!"

You think over this and cock your head to the side. It sounded pleasant. Jungkook taking you out and paying for your food.

You could probably buy whatever you want and you won't have to care about the price. You glance down at your stomach which started to grumble softly.

Besides, you were starving. Meat sounded like the way to go tonight. Letting out a sigh a smile forms on your lips. You look back at Jungkook who stood before you with a small frown upon his face. It made you grin.

"What place did you have in mind?"

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

Turns out Jungkook was also craving meat and took you out to a Korean barbecue restaurant. You ordered about every type of meat they offered.
From bulgogi to pork belly you ordered them all. And true to his word, Jungkook allowed you to order them and will pay for it.

You place the meat on the grill and it starts to make a sizzling sound. You sniff the air as your nostrils were greeted with the smell of a delicious aroma. Your belly starts to growl in excitement while your lips spread into a grin.

Gosh, you've always loved the smell of grilled meat. Eager to eat some fine meat you quickly grab some with your chopsticks and place them in your mouth.

The hot texture greets your tongue and you hiss at the feeling as you blow air in and out your mouth attempting to cool down the meat.

"Oh, that's hot," you say while chewing. You look at Jungkook who sat across from you. His lips were formed into a frown with his eyes staring at the meat on the grill blank as ever. He seemed to be lost in his thoughts.

You wondered if he still felt bad about everything. You could say that you already mentally forgave him. You just won't let him know that yet. Swallowing your food you look at Jungkook with a raised brow.

"Hey, Jungkook?"

He snaps out of his daze and stares at you with a startled look. "Um, yeah?" He answers.

"You know, I'm not a big fan of eating in silence," you joke with a smile.

Fortunately, he smiles back while leaning back against his chair. "Ah, sorry," he apologizes while rubbing the nap of his neck sheepishly.

"What were you saying?"

You give him a shrug, "I was just saying the meat was hot. You should try some, it's good."

He nods and obeys. He grabs a piece of meat, blows on it before putting it into his mouth. You stare at him eagerly and lean forward.

"Well??" You ask impatiently.

Once Jungkook swallows he lightly smacks his lips together. He looks at you with his eyes lighting up.

"It's good!" He beams with a bunny smile. You couldn't help but grin at the sight causing your eyes to crinkle at the edges.

"Your smile is so cute!" You grin.

Taken aback by your compliment Jungkook chokes on his spit. "What?" He sputters.

"Your smile," you say again oblivious to his surprise. "That's one of my favorite things about you!"

Jungkook stares at you, speechless. His eyes glisten in the light, his mouth agape. A surge of happiness explodes inside his heart.

Damn. Why were you so cute? Why do your compliments affect him so much?

At least, he was happy that at least one thing about him makes you smile.

His lips curl up into a grin as his cheeks redden. He tilts his head slightly with his eyes crinkling at the corners.

"Thank you."

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

"I don't know why it's so hard to answer, Jisun," Jungkook laughs.

"Because it is!" You shout with a beet-red face.

"Oh come on, I just want to know why you and Seojun were talking about me liking you!"

You feel yourself internally scream with your lips pressed together in a fine line. No matter how much you refused to answer or give him any sort of detail he was being too persistent. Even now at a park walking on a dim-lit paved road Jungkook still wouldn't drop the subject.

"Why are you so interested anyway?" You question with a frown. Jungkook simply gives you an innocent shrug.

"I'm just making small talk." He defends. "And besides," he looks at you with a small frown. "I owe it to you."

You turn to him with your eyes flickering in surprise. This was something he shouldn't feel guilty over. Especially if it was something you deeply regret talking about in front of him.

"Owe it to me?" You repeat while letting out a shaky, nervous laugh. "Why?"

Jungkook raises a brow, "I walked out on you remember? It was rude and I think you were going to answer my question . . . ?"

He could feel his hands shake slightly so he shoves them into his sweater pocket. He forces his face to be as calm as ever even though there were butterflies fluttering in his stomach.
Jungkook was starting something serious and if you decide to be real with him then there was no going back.

Your heart began to speed up to point your chest started to ache in nervousness. Both you and Jungkook had stopped walking and we're now standing face to face under the dim lighting of a nearby streetlamp. The noises of cars and the bustling city were distant, you could barely hear them.
As of now, it was quiet, nothing stirred as though every living thing was eavesdropping on your conversation.

"What was your question?" You timidly ask.

Although, you knew what it was. That night was like a freshly painted picture in your mind. Jungkook is mute for a moment as he fumbles with his fingers inside his pocket.

Be confident. Be confident. He repeats this multiple times throughout the night but he knew it was crucial at this moment. He takes in a deep breath and straightens his spine.

"I asked if you found out I had feelings for you, would you feel the same?" He reminds a bit tight but it was enough for him. Your heart suddenly becomes lodged in your throat and you swallow it down.

"Ah," you croak and avert your shy gaze. You started to chew your bottom lip as you play with ends of your sweatshirt.

You remember what you said after he stormed out. You even told Seojun, you just couldn't think you could tell Jungkook. Just thinking about it made you anxious. But what were you going to say?

You could feel Jungkook's curious yet intense stare burn into your head. Nothing was coming to mind for it was blank as ever. And your throat was dry if you talked your voice might crack.

"Earth to Jisun, are you there?" Jungkook tilts his head to his right as he waves a hand over your face. You jump out of your daze and look at him blankly.

"What's your answer?" He asks again.

You clench your sweatshirt as your body shakes nervously. "W-well . . . it's best I don't answer," you murmur.

"Why?" Jungkook pushes with a smile. "It's a simple question."

Why was he saying that? He knows it wasn't, God he would act a lot like you if you two switched places.

"It's just not important." You quickly say and make an attempt to continue walking. But your arm was suddenly grabbed by Jungkook who held you back.

Slowly he walks to you and stops inches from you. He looks down at you with fire in his eyes. You try to look away but Jungkook slightly squeezes your arm forcing you to look at him.

"I consider it important," he states.

"Why?" You demand lightly. "It was just a silly conversation."

"Okay, if it was a silly conversation why is it hard for you to answer then?"

You purse your lips together with your eyes trailing down to his rosy lips. You could feel your stare linger before you look at his chest. He was becoming alluring by the minute, it was driving you mad. Can you just kiss him to make him forget about this conversation?

Jungkook was no fool to not to notice your deep stare at his lips, it spurred something inside him causing a ghost smirk to appear.

"Wait a minute, you won't answer because you do have feelings for me?!" He exclaims.

Your eyes suddenly widen with your heart crashing into your chest. You look up at him in shock.

"That's not true!" You shout feeling yourself becoming hot.

He laughs loudly with amusement gleaming in his doe eyes. "It's the only explanation! You like me!" He teases.

"I do not! Stop being conceded!"

You shrug off his grip and try to calm your racing heart. Your cross your arms over your chest as you look away with a frown.

Jungkook watches you with a smile but it was strained slightly. Your words did sting a bit even though he was the one doing the teasing. Yet, he was confused.

You were staring at his lips in such a way that he was sure it meant you wanted a kiss. At least, that's what he saw in Korean dramas.

They did say actions speak louder than words but how could he possibly know that? You could mean what you said and happen to look at his lips. But what he did know was that women are the most confusing species to exist.

Jungkook sighs with a beaming smile upon his lips. "Ah, I was kidding, Jisun. Don't take it too far."

He reaches for you and pulls you in for a hug in hopes of comforting you. It did a bit and you could feel yourself calm down a little.

Although there was one thing still bothering you. You pull away from Jungkook but he still kept his hands on your back.

"Jungkook, can I ask you something?" You ask while looking at his chest. He looks at you curiously but nods nonetheless.

"Yeah, what is it?"

You started to bite your lip once more before taking in a deep breath. You look up at him with confusion in your eyes.

"Why did you say it was important to you?"
