"When am I going to see you again?"

The tall, willowy brunette rested her back against the door. She reached one arm and traced the distance between Jungkook's collarbone towards his perfectly formed V-line pointing down his well-endowed manhood.

He drew a deep breath in, staring back at her beautiful olive greens. A model, perfect facial proportions, tanned caramel skin. What was her name again? Risa? Misa?

Without giving her any time to doubt whether he even remembered her name, he pulled her in abruptly and crashed his lips against hers. She moaned, letting herself melt into his embrace as her hands found their way down his abs.

"Soon, baby girl," Jungkook exhaled once he pulled away, relishing in how clear it was he had managed to steal her breath. "Soon."

"Okay," she spluttered, seemingly a little bit dazed.

"Bye." He smiled as his hand on the small of her back ushered her to leave his apartment, just a tiny glimpse of urgency in his touch.

"Bye." She stumbled forwards, struggling to keep her balance. Before she knew it, the door was already shut behind her.

"Okay," Taehyung mumbled, pressing his forefinger to his lips. "How much to beat you?"

"Double fourteen," Maddie chimed as she removed a dart from the dartboard. "Or it's all over."

Taehyung smirked. "Well, that's not gonna be a problem."

He spread his legs, taking a more stable and focused stance, and expertly aimed for the dartboard.

"Don't miss, don't miss, don't miss, don't miss!" Maddie bounced and pounced next to him like a giddy child.

"Um," he turned to her incredulously but there was a faint smile on his lips. "Are you actually doing that?"

"Yes!"

"You just can't distract me, Maddie."

"Okay." She bit her lips in anticipation.

Taehyung aimed again, his eyes narrowed as he calculated the perfect hit.

"AAAAH!!" Maddie screamed, making him jolt in his spot and lose his focus.

"Fucking hell, Maddie!" he exclaimed in a frustrated manner, stomping his feet on the ground. "That's just not fair!"

"Okay okay, I'll stop! I promise!" she bargained in between chuckles.

Offering her one last side stare, he finally resumed to aiming at the inner bullseye. He threw the dart, this time without interruptions, but missed.

"YAY, I WIN!!" Maddie shouted, jumping happily next to him.

"Yeah yeah, whatever," Taehyung shrugged with a groan. He readjusted his hoodie on his shoulders somberly, but couldn't miss to glance at Maddie and admire her vibrant smile.

"Cleo, I won!" Maddie boasted once they were back at the bar. "And now, the long-awaited penalty."

She gestured theatrically for Taehyung to take a seat on one of the bar stools. He did so, reluctantly as ever, and waved down the busty blonde that was wiping the inside of a glass across the counter.

Immediately, she dashed over, "Yes, hello, Taehyung, yes, what can I do for you?"

"Umm..." he pursed his lips. "Hello, Celeste."

"Yes?" she leaned forward, so close he could smell her heavy perfume. She rested her enormous breasts on the bar counter, making Taehyung gulp, and stared at him seductively. "What is the object of your desire, Tae?"

"We're waiting for our drinks, Tae." Cleo nudged him.

"Um... we need another round." Taehyung announced, feeling hot sweat build between his fingers as Celeste practically shoved her breasts in his face.

She smirked and whipped her hair back. "One day, Tae... one day, I know the answer to this question is going to be 'You, Celeste. You are the object of my desire.'"

Taehyung nodded understandingly, staring right past her as if she were a window.

"Okay," he pressed his lips into a thin line. "But uh, for now, we're just gonna go with the beers."

Celeste huffed, removing herself from the bar counter. She offered him a weak sorrowful smile, hiding her disappointment behind it, and shuffled to the back to get the beers without any questions.

"She's so helplessly in love with you!" Cleo exclaimed from the backseat on the ride back to their neighborhood. Maddie just kept smiling, looking over at Taehyung fondly.

"Okay, okay, enough. Thank you, ladies." He brushed it off, guiding the steering wheel swiftly.

"You really don't like her the teeniest, tiniest bit?" Maddie asked from the passenger's seat.

Taehyung threw her a brief cowardly glance. "No, what, Maddie!" he was abashed. "I, uh- no... she- she's not my type, okay?" his fingers clutched around the steering wheel.

"You are so particular." Maddie replied.

"Mr. Picky Peterson!" Cleo accused, bursting into laughter.

"I am not!"

"Yes, you are!"

"No, I'm not!"

"Uh, you most definitely are, Tae!"

"No, I-" Taehyung started, ready to return the playful banter, but was stopped mid-sentence by the sight of a dozen people gathered in front of Maddie's house.

"Who the heck are they?" Cleo squinted, pointing at the bustling crowd.

"I bet the fire alarm went off again." Maddie sighed exhaustedly.

"Um," Taehyung frowned as his busted car pulled over in Maddie's driveyard. "Why would they send a news crew for that?"

"Wait a second." Maddie deadpanned once the three of them got out of the car.

She couldn't say anything else because instantaneously, camera flashes penetrated her retinas and blinded her as dozens of microphones were shoved in her face.

"CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'RE THE GIRL THAT WON A DATE WITH JEON JUNGKOOK!"

"And they said that in first class you can watch whatever movie you want!" Maddie gushed as they stood in front of airport security, pink backpack hanging from her shoulder and a baby blue suitcase in her hand.

"I would like to touch intimately whoever thought of that." Cleo said shamelessly, earning a scowl from Taehyung.

"Ladies and gentlemen, at this time we would like to begin boarding the first-class passengers."

"THAT'S YOUUUU!!" Cleo exclaimed loudly, throwing her arms around Maddie.

"I KNOOOW!!" Maddie replied with the same high-pitched squeal.

"Okay, girls, girls, girls, calm down, okay?" Taehyung begged, grabbing Cleo by the upper arm and removing her from Maddie.

"Oh Tae, would you please just give me a hug and tell me to have a good time?" Maddie asked innocently.

Taehyung scoffed, but took a step forward nevertheless and let her wrap her arms around him. He inhaled her sweet perfume and as his eyelids fluttered closed, the sight of endless strawberry fields stretching across the abyss filled his mind.

"Just... just be careful, okay? You know?"

Maddie furrowed her brows. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, that this guy is Jeon Jungkook, okay?" Taehyung explained nervously. "In his life, he's probably slept with, like, ten, or even fifteen women!" he stressed, wide-eyed.

Maddie scoffed in disbelief, her eyes so enlarged they resembled pancakes.

"No way! That's not even physically possible!" she gasped.

"But it is!" Taehyung shot back with widened eyes.

"Besides, it's not like he'd be interested in me."

"You know what?" he said. "Listen to me. If at any point of your date he claims that he doesn't really like watching sports, he's just trying to sleep with you."

Maddie looked at him with confused horror, tilting her head back a bit.

"Got it."

"Oh, and if he claims to love animals, then he's definitely trying to sleep with you."

"Oookay." She replied.

"Men are men," Taehyung warned her darkly. "Rich or poor, famous or... non-famous." He swallowed.

"Right." She nodded, nibbling on her lower lip.

"Can you, just, do me one favor, alright?" Taehyung took one step closer towards her. He leaned in, a shadow of anxiousness casting over his face. "G-guard your c-carnal treasure."

"What?" Maddie's eyes boggled so hard they were about to jump out of their sockets.

"G-guard your virginit-"

"Okay Tae, got it!"

"No, I just-" he groaned. "Guard your carnal treasure."

"Thanks, Tae!" Maddie's voice raised a couple octaves as her cheeks turned crimson.

"'Kay." He sniffed loudly, shoving his hands in the pockets of his jeans.

"And remember everything!" Cleo said. "I want details."

"I will!" Maddie promised.

"Remember how he smells."

"I will."

"Remember how he tastes. But not just vaguely. And I want comparisons... vivid comparisons." Cleo whispered.

"Okay, yeah, okay." Maddie nodded curtly.

"For example," Cleo sighed. "He smells like the forest after a-"

"Okay, Cleo, wrap it up!" Taehyung clapped his hands. "Maddie is going to miss her flight."

"I will remember everything." Maddie reassured.

"Oh, and I also brought you something," Taehyung mumbled, pulling a box of Pringles from his backpack. "I know these are your favorites. Regular flavor. In case you don't like the fine rib in first class."

"Oh Tae, this is so sweet!" Maddie gasped. "Thank you for that," she leaned in and placed a soft peck on his cheek. "I'm going to miss you so much."

A subtle rosy pink hue tainted his cheeks. "Y-yeah... same."

"Thank you for seeing me off on the airport." Maddie beamed, her bright smile glowing like the sun in the giant airport hall. She gave a hug to Cleo and quickly bid her friends goodbye, waving back at them as she walked over to security.

Feeling a wave of heat course through his veins, Taehyung couldn't help himself.

"Just- Guard your carnal treasure!" he yelled on the top of his lungs, his voice high-pitched and cracked, making several people turn their heads in his direction.

"I heard you!" Maddie swung her head back just as she walked past security.
