"Just open your mouth!"

"No!"

"Come on, please? Just one more time!"

Hoseok crosses his arms and sticks his nose into the air. "No, you're just going to miss like all the other hundred times," he points out.

Jimin puts down his hand that held a small goldfish cracker and gives his friend a pout. "I won't miss this time, I swear! And it wasn't a hundred times. It was like, fifty."

Hoseok nods, "Yeah, fifty of those went to waste! I could've eaten them like a normal person!" Jimin huffs and slumps back against the couch.

"Fine!"

He tosses the cracker into his mouth chews angrily. Hoseok ignores his childish acts and looks back at the tv. Jin walks back into the living room from the kitchen carrying a glass of water. He stops in his tracks and stares at guys that lounged in his living room.

"Are you guy's tv working in your own apartments?" He questions. Not understanding his attitude Yoongi nods idly with his eyes glued to the screen.

"Yeah."

Jin stomps his foot impatiently. "Why aren't you using it?"

"Because you have a bigger screen." Jimin chimed in. Hoseok nods along, "Plus, you have food."

Jin rolls his eyes and places a hand on his hip. "I never said that I would share my tv with you guys."

Yoongi cranes his neck to the side. "Uh-huh, yeah, can you move or something? You're blocking my view."

Jin glares at Yoongi before flipping him off. He stomps to where Namjoon sat and plops down beside him. "These kids have no respect." He grumbles.

Namjoon doesn't hear and shouts loudly. "Oh my god, did you see that? That's a penalty!"

"Are you blind? That was fair play!" Yoongi shouts back.

"He's not allowed to touch the other team's players! This isn't American football!" Namjoon exclaims with a disappointed tone.

"He can if that guy was about to kick into the goal! That's what goalies are for!" Yoongi states.

Namjoon scoffs, "That's still a penalty. The ref had to see that." The apartment went completely silent as everyone listens to what the ref said. Namjoon suddenly begins to cheer and clap his hands loudly.

"Told you! Penalty!"

Yoongi frowns with crossed arms and doesn't say anything. Hoseok pats Yoongi's arm reassuringly. "Maybe next time, Yoongs."

He shrugs it off, "Shut up, Hoseok."

Hoseok chuckles before popping another chip into his mouth. Jimin looks around the room before letting out a deflating sigh. "We're diminishing." He sighs.

Jin raises a brow, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, that our group has been smaller these past couple of days." Jimin restates. Hoseok scans the room as well. "Huh, now that I think about it. I haven't really seen much of Taehyung lately. I only saw him on the night of Jisun's famous prom."

Jimin chuckles at that. "You should've seen her face when she thought of the idea." Although he made fun of you for it, he thought it was pretty clever.

Jin smiles along but quickly turns into a small pout. "Yeah, Taehyung has been gone lately. He doesn't even reply to the jokes I send him."

"No one replies to the jokes you send, Jin." Namjoon deadpans.

Yoongi huffs out a chuckle while Jin playfully slaps Namjoon's arm. Namjoon laughs, "I'm just stating the truth. And besides, I bet Taehyung is too busy to answer them."

"Busy with what? That boy doesn't do anything." Yoongi mutters. Hoseok mumbles in agreement.

What could Taehyung be doing lately? It wasn't like him to miss out on hangouts and such.

"Speaking of Taehyung," Namjoon says. "I saw him and Jungkook arguing that night."

Jin looks at him in surprise. "Argue? Those two are close as they can get, what could they possibly argue about?"

Jimin scoffs at that, "Close? Yeah, they're friends and all but they're definitely not close. They have never been after that incident." Yoongi leans forward to grab his glass of water.

"Yeah, that was horrific. I mean, I understand why you would get upset about that because you're Jisun's brother and all, but I never thought Jungkook would be that furious at Taehyung."

"Who wouldn't? He cheated on her." Hoseok reminds.

"But even so, I never thought that I would see Jungkook like that," Yoongi sighs.

A light smile appears on Namjoon's face despite the bad memory. "Now that I think about it, he acted as if he liked, Jisun or something," he chuckles lightly. "So very overprotective and caring whenever it came to her."

Yoongi shrugs, "I guess I could kind of see it. I mean, Jungkook does seem like he's interested in her." Jimin's lips turn into a small frown.

Jungkook liking, you? Impossible, you two are practically family. Besides, Jungkook proclaims that he's in love with some mysterious girl. There's no way he could be head over heels for you. Jimin pushes that thought to the side and watches the game.

"I highly doubt it. Jisun and Jungkook are too close to even see each other like that."

Jin smirks, "We'll see. It'll be interesting to see Taehyung's reaction if that were true."

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

You groan tiredly as you stare at your laptop screen. Your inbox was practically filled to the brim with complaints. Mostly from Daniel, he just couldn't stand Emily.

You do sympathize with the man and was glad that a whole ocean was between you two. But you weren't working and in a different country. What does he think you could do from this distance?

Your phone suddenly rings making you jump in surprise. You curse under your breath and answer the phone.

"What is it?"

A low whistle came from the other line. "Damn, you sound a bit irritated. Did I do something?"

You let out a sigh and start rubbing your temple. "Sorry, Taehyung it's just work."

"Ha, I can relate." "You can, huh?"

"Yeah! These people are serious freaks! They literally make me dance and sing till I pass out!" He exclaims. "And that's without mentioning the diet I have to be on."

You let out a small chuckle, "Aren't you supposed to be working then since you have all that practice?"

"Nope," he says while popping the 'p'. "I'm on a short break."

"How short?" He hums for a second, thinking. " 'Bout ten minutes."

"Jeez, that is short," you say feeling a bit bad for him. He lets out a small chuckle, "That's one of the perks of becoming an idol."

"So, is there any reason why you called," you ask. "Do I need a reason," Taehyung questions.

"I mean, you could take a nap instead of talking to me on your break." He shrugs even though you couldn't see. "Yeah, but I want to talk to you. I miss you."

"Taehyung, you saw me the other night," you laugh.

"But it's true! I really do," he exclaims.

"I want to see you but I can't."

You smile slightly, "Me too." You hear small gasp on the other end. "You're serious? You want to see me?"

You couldn't help but laugh a little more. "Of course, it's always fun being around you," you say.

You meant it, it was always fun when you're with him. Just his mere presence puts a smile on your face.

"Well, if that's the case I'll come over," he says. You blink, "Huh? Right now?"

A mischievous smile forms on Taehyung's face. "Yeah."

"But what about work?"

"Oh, it'll be fine. I deserve it anyway. I've been working my butt off."

Before you could sway him the other way a knock comes at your door. You sigh and get up.

"Taehyung, that may not be a good idea." "Sure it is! They won't mind." You open the door and stare at the person in surprise.

"Jungkook!"

There he was, standing in front of you with a sheepish grin on his face. He wore a black long-sleeve shirt, black sweats, and a white baseball cap that was turned backward. He holds in front of him a plastic bag to show you.

"Got some fried chicken, want to share?"

"Wait, Jungkook's there?" You hear Taehyung question but you didn't answer.

"Uh, yeah! I'm actually starving." You smile and move out the way for Jungkook. "We'll talk later, okay? Focus on your practices." You hang up before Taehyung could have a chance to answer.

You skip to the living room and see Jungkook setting up the food. You plop down on the couch and take a huge whiff. God, that smells good.

"So, did you buy a lot for yourself or something?" You ask. Jungkook hesitates taking out the box of chicken.
He clears his throat, "Y-yeah, I didn't realize I bought a lot."

You nod, believing his word. "Well, you're sweet for thinking of me," You smile happily as you open the box. You were actually glad he had some to share. You didn't feel like cooking today.

A proud smile appears on his face as he sits down next to you. Of course, he had to buy more than he needed. It was the only way he could think of to have dinner with you.

As you both are silently Jungkook couldn't help but notice your laptop screen. He skimmed the email and realize it's from your work. He gestures his head to the screen. "Any trouble?" He asks with a mouth full of food.

"Hm?" You look at the screen and back at him. "No," You swallow your food. "Just some actor complaining that's all."

He nods and takes another bite of chicken. It was silent once more and you couldn't help but think that it was quite awkward yet peaceful.

You want to talk but you didn't want to say anything stupid. Not that you cared before but now you didn't want to sound like a doofus in front of him.

Jungkook silently eats enjoying the silence. Just being next to you was enough for his stomach to do backflips. He side glances you and sees that you were zoning out.

He takes in your looks, the way your eyes gleam in the light, and the way your lips parted slightly when you weren't paying attention to much of anything. He places his chicken down on his plate.

Jungkook eyes your lips longer and bites his bottom lip slightly. God, your plump lips look so kissable. He always dreamed of what they way would feel like against his own.

He didn't know what it was but a strong urge inside of him screamed to make a move. He knew that he could never tell you his feelings but he could show them. Right?

He scoots closer to you and slowly places his hand on top of yours. You jump at the sudden touch but don't pull your hand away. You look at Jungkook in confusion.

"Jungkook, what are you doing?"

He doesn't answer and stares intently at the hands. His blood surge through his veins with his heart beating rapidly against his chest.

He felt his throat becoming dry and his hands trembling a bit. He grasps your hand and slowly looks at you.

Still, without saying a word he slowly leans close. He watches your every movement seeing if you would pull away. You automatically straighten your spine and kept still.

You let his face come close to yours until you could share a breath. For a long moment you two didn't move, you simply stare at one another. You felt your pupils dilate and your heart skips a beat.

This was strange, to be this close to a friend. Especially when you've known him almost all your life. But you were curious and wanted this to continue.

Jungkook takes in a shaky breath, he was having doubts. He shouldn't have done this. There's no way he could pull this off. When he was about to pull away you tighten your grip around his hand.

"Whatever you were going to do," you say softly. "Finish it. Don't be nervous, it's just me."

Yeah, that's why I'm nervous! Jungkook shouts in his head. He looks at you and you give him an encouraging smile. He starts to feel more at ease.

You're right, it's just you. You wouldn't judge him or belittle him. You were you. That's why he loves you.

He swallows hard using every ounce of courage he has. He closes the space between you two letting your noses touch.

You automatically close your eyes waiting for whatever that may be coming. Jungkook takes in a quick breath before closing his eyes as well.

He then gently touches your face with his lips.
