"You've got to be joking with me," Jungkook says with anger slowly rising through him. "You're not serious right?"

You look at him before looking to the side awkwardly. "Yes, I'm serious." You answer causing him to look away while scoffing.

"I don't believe this."

He stands up and paces back in forth in front of you. The audacity of Taehyung to tell you that. What right did he have? Jungkook's blood was pulsing with hot anger and he was trying to keep a tight leash on his temper. But it was slipping.

You chuckle sheepishly, "Why are you so uptight about it?" You ask. You don't understand him, he was acting like it was happening to him. Like it was affecting him and not you.

"I thought I told you not to get upset about this?"

He shakes his head with a strained smile. "I'm not upset. Not one bit." He lies.

You roll your eyes, "Yeah, okay you're just pacing here in surprise then." You say sarcastically. He groans and stops his pacing.

"How can you be so calm about this, Jisun?" He questions. "He confessed to you!"

You shrug, "Yeah, I know."

Jungkook stares at you baffled. You seemed so calm and unbothered by the news. It was driving him crazy, how can you act such a way? He was getting frustrated by the second just by staring at you.

"So you're going to sit here like nothing has happened?" He asks with his voice rising a little. He was trying his best not to shout but he was finding that a bit difficult.

"He said was joking--" "Like hell, he was joking!" He abruptly shouts causing you to look at him in shock.

"Yes, he was!" You tried to say but Jungkook looked angrier than ever. He looks up at the sky while running a hand through his hair. He wanted to shout in frustration, he wanted to find Taehyung and ask him what the hell was he thinking.

He knew Taehyung wasn't joking. Maybe you thought he was but Jungkook knows he was telling the truth. No man would ever joke about that.

You narrow your eyes at your friend and cross your arms. "What's with you, Jungkook?" You demand sternly. "All I'm saying is that he told me his feelings."

"Yeah, and he has no right to do that!" He shouts.

"What makes you think he has no right?" You demand. He shakes his head and points to his left as if Taehyung was standing there.

"He has no right to tell you he still loves after what he did!" He states.

"That was four years ago, Jungkook! Four!" You tell him firmly as you watch him press his lips into a thin line. You stand up and stand in front of him.

"Have it ever occurred to you that he changed? That he became mature?"

Jungkook doesn't bother answering you and chews the inside of his cheek. He was breathing heavily through his nose as if he wanted to punch something. You stare at him with narrow eyes. You weren't mad at him, annoyed yes, but not mad. Jungkook was confusing you more than ever today. You didn't know why.

"Why are you acting like this is affecting you?" You ask.

"Because it is." He answers simply.

You raise a brow, "How?"

Jungkook heaves a sigh and doesn't look at you. "He told you how he feels."

"Okay, and?"

"And it's not right!" Jungkook exclaims. "He shouldn't have told you that when he knows that he has hurt you before." You shake your head and cross your arms.

Jungkook glances at you and frowns. "I just don't want you to get hurt again, Jisun. It hurts me more than you think when I see you like that." He mumbles.

"But it won't happen again." You assure him. "I'm not naive."

Jungkook stares at you for a long moment. It was pointless to argue over this. Especially when you won't listen to him. He sighs and crosses his arms without saying a word.

You pout slightly, you know that he won't drop this but you didn't want to talk about it any longer. You regret telling him. You know how he feels towards Taehyung when it came to you.
You place a hand on his shoulder.

"I know you're just looking out for me but I'll be okay. I have you."

His eyes widen slightly. "You have me?"

You nod, "Yeah, you've always been there when I need a shoulder to lean on."

The air was caught in Jungkook's throat as he stares at you in surprise. Just hearing you say such simple words made him feel like he was on cloud nine. It was like he sprouted wings and could soar through the sky.

His heart flutters within him and he couldn't help but smile. He started to rub the nape of his neck while giggling slightly. "Oh, you know that's what friends are for." He says awkwardly.

He questions himself in his head, that's what are friends for?? Who says that?

You smile at him before turning away. "Well, we should head home now. I'll make some ramyeon." You declared and started to walk away. Jungkook stares at your back still dazed.

It wasn't late into the night yet. Many restaurants are still open and if he wanted to do it then it had to me now. He takes in a shaky breath, "Jisun?"

You glance behind you, "Yeah?"

His whole body shook with nervousness and he clenched his fists to stop it. Just remember what they said, he reminded himself.

Be confident.

He suddenly looks at you with a strange look and smirked. You rose an eyebrow at his sudden behavior. He takes a step to you and you turn around to face him.

"You're very pretty." He compliments while giving you a wink. It shocks you and you stare at him wide-eyed. He keeps going, "I think you and me should. . ." He trails off abruptly his smirk fading a bit.

You look at him in questioning and tilt your head. "We should what?" You ask. That strange look in Jungkook's eyes suddenly fades and was replaced with nervousness.

"Umm. . ." His bottom lip quivers and his thundering heart beats loudly in his chest. This wasn't working, he had to switch to another tactic.

He suddenly grins at you, "I enjoying eating out!" He exclaims awkwardly. You eye him for a minute pondering at his behavior. If anything it was quite amusing.

"Jungkook, what are you doing?" You ask and press your lips tightly together to hold in your laughter. His eyes widen and he curses at himself mentally. He clears his throat and drops his grin. He crosses his arms and looks away from you.

"Nothing." He says coldly. "I'm just saying that I like eating out. D-do you like to?"

Was he doing it right? Were you falling for him as those girls do for his friends? Was he asking you out right?

He didn't know, he felt like he was acting like a goof but they said this was how you're supposed to act to girls you're interested in. Sweat rolled down his temple and he shifted his feet uncomfortably. He felt your strong gaze making him look anywhere but you.

You quirked up a brow and place your hands on your hips. You smile in amusement, "Are you trying to ask me out?"

Jungkook felt his face heat up and he looks down at the ground. "Maybe." He mutters feeling embarrassed. You laugh softly and shake your head.

"Then why didn't say something instead of acting like a dork?" You tease.

Jungkook doesn't answer and stews in his embarrassment. He wishes he could find a hole and never come out. He couldn't believe he made such a fool out of himself.

So much for Jimin, Hoseok, and Yoongi's advice.

"Forget it." He turns to walk away. You quickly grab his sleeve while giggling.

"Wait." You say as you try to contain your laughter. "We'll go out."

He turns his head and sees you smiling brightly up at him. He couldn't find it in him to say no.

\/\/\/\/\/

"So, are you finally going to tell me why you were so weird earlier?" You ask as you gaze at Jungkook. He sits across from you and stares intently at the bulgogi on the grill. The scent of cooked meat filled the restaurant and so did the sizzling sound.

Jungkook messes with the meat too embarrassed to answer. You pout and rest your arms on the table with a tired sigh. "See? You're acting weird right now!" You exclaim.

"Am not!" Jungkook quickly defends.

"Yes, you are! You're usually not this quite." You point out. He looks away while puffing out his left cheek.

You tried to get him to look at you but to no avail. You gave up on trying to make him look at you and pour yourself another glass of soju.

"Look, if you're still feeling embarrassed about earlier, don't." You tell him. "I'm not going to make fun of you." You assured but shrug and take a sip.

"I still don't understand why you acted like that though. . ." You mutter.

Jungkook rolls his eyes, "You always make fun of me." He grumbles like a child and takes the meat off the grill.

If you don't understand why he was acting weird earlier then he won't say. There was no point if he knew that you would laugh at him.

He pushes that thought aside and starts to blow on a piece of bulgogi to cool it off.

He reaches across the table holding a pair of chopsticks with the meat between. "Here, be careful it might still be hot." He warns.

You smile happily and eat the meat while putting a strand of hair behind your ear. He pulls away and watches you chew with a soft smile.

He loved to watch you eat, you would have a huge smile on your face whenever you would put food in your mouth. He thought it was the cutest thing. Especially when he feeds you.

"That was good!" You beam in delight. "Well, you can have my share too." Jungkook places all his meat on top of your bowl of rice and you watch in surprise.

"Ah, n-no it's okay Jungkook! You need to eat too." You exclaim.

He shakes his head, "I'm not that hungry at the moment." He says with a smile.

"You're going to get me fat, Jungkook!" You whine with a pout. "You're not fat, Jisun." Jungkook states.

"Yeah, I am! See?" You poke your chubby cheek just to prove your point. Jungkook sighs once more and reaches over and pinches your cheek. "I see nothing." He says.

You glare at him and push his hand away. "You're just being nice." He chuckles and pulls away.

"Jisun, if Jimin can eat twice as much as you without gaining weight then you'll be fine." He says. "Don't worry about that. You're great the way you are." He tells you sweetly.

You bite your lip self-consciously, "You think so?"

Jungkook places his arms on the table and leans forward slightly. "You're perfect, Jisun."

You stare at him and he tilts his head showing you his bunny smile. Your heart skips a beat at the sight with butterflies filling your stomach. Suddenly feeling self-conscious you quickly shove some meat into your mouth.

"Don't say stuff like that." You say with a mouth full of food.

Jungkook laughs as he watches your cheeks turn red. It could be from the heat of the grill or the soju but his heart couldn't help but melt at the sight.

"I'm just telling the truth." He defends with the shake of his head. You look out the window watching people walk by.

"Yeah, but sometimes it's embarrassing."
