I looked at myself in the mirror and it was probably the tenth time I did this hour. I titled my head and examined my appearance before playing around with my hair. I'm a mess but I'm aware of that.

And then it finally came to me. Where are we even going? I stepped out of my room and knocked on Jungkook's door, I wasn't interested in walking in on something I didn't want to see.

"You don't have to open it if you're still getting ready, but I just had a question." I told him through the door. The door opened and I was greeted by Jungkook with an unbuttoned shirt and ruffled hair. I tried to ignore his quite visible chest and looked up at his face.

"What is it?" He asked while buttoning up his shirt. I cleared my throat before responding.

"Where are we going?" A smirk was brought up to his face and I internally rolled my eyes.

"I'm glad you asked." He stepped out of his room and sat on the couch. "We're going to watch a movie." I was even more relieved. This way there was even more less talking and I could just look at Jimin without him knowing since the lights are off. That was weird.

"Oh cool." I commented and he nodded.

"But lucky for you it's a scary movie." Jungkook said but I was confused as to why it was an advantage. "All you need to do is be scared, which I'm sure won't be a problem. Then he'll comfort you and you guys can become closer." I furrowed my eyebrows disagreeing to his advice.

"Uh sorry to burst your bubble, but scary movies don't scare me. They're irrational and kind of tacky." I told him truthfully and he groaned in frustration.

"Ah smart people. Okay, then just act scared." How was I supposed to do that? Shake in my seat? There was a knock on the door stopping the conversation.

"Taehyung is here, we can go." Vivian came in and said. I grabbed my coat and stood beside her. She smiled at me as she looked me up and down. "You look pretty. Are you nervous?"

"A bit, yeah, but I'm sure I'll be fine."

-

"Jungkook! Hi." Jiyoon exclaimed when she saw him. I was with Vivian and Taehyung and we all stood in front of the theater. I didn't see Jimin yet so my eyes just looked around for him in the crowd. Eventually I saw him coming towards us as he placed his hand on Jungkook's shoulder.

"Okay we can go in now." He said. I looked at his quite effortless outfit- a baggy sweatshirt and pants- but loved how he still looked like a model. I was falling hard for this boy and still I didn't understand why.

Everyone started walking in while Jimin came beside me to greet me.
"Hello Sua." He smiled and I gulped but smiled back.

"Hi Jimin." I wanted to say more but
all that came to my lips was a simple greeting. We walked into the theater and I could see the tension between Vivian and Jiyoon. They weren't saying anything but they're eyes were yelling at each other, trying to rip off each other's throats. Maybe that was a bit too violent, but they definitely weren't rejoicing in excitement. Poor Taehyung stood in the middle of them observing how they looked at each other.

I wasn't sure if Jiyoon and I still had a hateful relationship. Ever since I complimented her that day, she would send me quick glances and smiles. Vivian, however, still couldn't stand her. And the feeling was pretty mutual.

During their quiet war, they guys were arguing over who would pay for the food.

"Jungkook, this is your celebration, why should you pay?" Jimin reasoned.

"If it's my celebration, shouldn't I be getting to do what I want? I want to pay, hyung." Jungkook said back and Taehyung quickly came into the conversation.

"Whatever happens, I want to pay for Vivian's food!" Taehyung sent a smile at her before putting his arm over her shoulder.

"That won't be necessary." Vivian said while removing his hand. I chuckled at Taehyung's failed attempt to impress Vivian. The whole time that any of this was happening, I haven't spoke a word and just have been lurking behind.

"He's cute, right?" Jimin asked as he came beside me after losing to Jungkook. I was startled but obviously wasn't going to show it.

"Taehyung? Yeah, I've never seen a guy like Vivian this much." I've been her friend since the fourth grade and was well aware that she was quite lucky in both the guy and beauty department. She didn't have to wear revealing clothing or act differently to impress anyone, and thats what I liked about her.

"I haven't seen Taehyung like this either. Who knows, something might happen." Jimin said and I just nodded not knowing how to verbally respond, something I did often. I decided to finally say something after a small moment of silence. Before I did, my eyes met Jungkook and he smiled. He mouthed the words 'say something' and I went ahead and listened.

"Do you want to go in?" It wasn't that flirty of anything but it's all that I could come up with. We walked in and Jimin took a seat next to me, which I was expecting. He couldn't really interrupt his two other friends.

point of view : author

The movie had begun half an hour ago and Sua sat there bored out of her mind. She wanted to look around at other things that weren't Jimin, in case he caught on, but everything was so dark. So instead she slumped in her seat trying to enjoy the movie.

Vivian, who was seated next to Taehyung was trying to watch the movie and not be fazed by his swift actions. He would 'accidentally' put his hand over hers, and look at her for a few seconds. Like she was the only girl there.

Jiyoon was doing the same as Taehyung, but wasn't very successful. The whole time she had been trying to grasp Jungkook's attention and hoped for something romantic to happen. But it was like he was completely focused on something else, and it surely wasn't the movie. He tried watching Sua's actions, he sat a row behind her but was still pretty close. He wanted to tell her advice but she looked like she wasn't even trying to talk with Jimin.

A jumpscare was done and most of the audience screamed. Vivian jumped up a bit and Taehyung laughed lowly. Jiyoon was obviously telling Jungkook how scared she was and saw it as a perfect way to get his attention. Jimin looked over at Sua and was curious as to how she just scoffed at the scene. I wonder how much it cost for them to do that, Sua thought.

Jimin spoke in a low voice, "You're not scared?" Sua immediately got nervous from his question. Was he dissatisfied from her not being surprised? She hesitated on whether she would lie and say she was or just tell him she really wasn't alarmed by the scene.

"Not really. I don't find these things scary." She decided to tell him truthfully and to her surprise he just smiled. "What I really like to do is guess how much it costed for them to make it happen." She told him and he nodded.

"Hm, I've never thought of that." He said and the audience screamed for another jumpscare. "I see 200, you?" Jimin asked Sua but she shaked her head.

"300, there's no way that chandelier wasn't expensive." She told him and he laughed. I made him laugh, Sua thought and smiled in her seat.

Jungkook was watching from afar and was wondering what the two were talking about. What if she was saying the wrong things? That's all he was worrying about.

"Jungkook, why'd you pick such a scary movie. And it's so cold in here." Jiyoon told Jungkook and he finally looked at her.

"Oh it's probably the air conditioning." He plainly responded and Jiyoon internally rolled her eyes from not getting the reaction she wanted. Jiyoon went to reach his hand but Jungkook moved himself forward stopping her from doing so.

"Um Vivian, can we switch seats?" Jungkook asked her and she furrowed her eyebrows.

"I don't think-"

"Thanks V." He quickly got himself out of his seat and stood in front of Vivian. Vivian hesitantly got up and sat beside Jiyoon, leaving Jungkook next to Sua. Taehyung was too engrossed into the movie to notice.

Sua placed her hand on Vivian's to let her know she needed some help. That was when she realized Vivian's hand got a lot larger.

"Sua, why are you holding my hand?" Jungkook asked and Sua quickly brought her hand back.

"What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing here?" I asked Jungkook. What does he want now?

"I'm here to help you. Why aren't you acting scared?" I am so done with this boy. I was doing just fine without his advice why is he here to remind me.

"I didn't have to. The conversation was fine without it."

Jungkook scoffed, "Oh I'm sure it was."
I rolled my eyes not wanting to argue anymore.

"Jungkook, just go back to your seat. I'll just ask Vivian for help."

"No, I-"

"Excuse me." A deep voice towered over us and cleared their throat before speaking, "You two have been disruptive so I need you to leave the theater." Jungkook and I looked at each other.

"Us?" The man nodded and Jungkook stood up. I was standing up to leave as well but Jimin caught my hand.

"I'll come with you." He said with a look of concern but I shakes my head.

"No, enjoy the movie. I'll wait outside." I smiled before leaving and saw Jiyoon pouting in her seat.

-

I stepped outside and saw Jungkook siting on the stairs leading to the entrance.

"Nice going Jungkook." I told him as I sat down and he just stared at the busy street without even bothering to look at me. Great.

"Hey it's your fault too." He said and I just couldn't deal anymore.

"Yah Jeon-" I was interrupted by Jungkook chuckling.

"I'm kidding. You're right, it is my fault. I'm sorry." Without even knowing I gasped hearing him say sorry. He finally looked at me and furrowed his eyebrows.

"Is it that surprising that I can apologize?" He asked and I nodded.

"But it's okay. I'm glad I got out of there, I don't know how long I could stay in my seat without freaking out. I was speaking comfortably but my heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest," I played with my fingers and looked down, "Maybe I'm not cut out for 'dating'."

"I wouldn't say that. You had a good conversation with a guy without acting all scared and needy. It's the first time I've seen it actually. I just wanted to think I give good advice. I should've just let you on your own." Jungkook admitted and he playfully punched my shoulder. "But good job, you'll get in his pants in no time." My jaw dropped before punching him lightly multiple times.

"Aren't. You. Supposed. To. Be. A. Maknae?" I said between punches and he caught my hands before I could punch him once more.

"Okay I get it, I take it back." He laughed and I ruffled his hair. I couldn't even realize how close we had become.

"Sua!" I stood up from the stair case and saw Jimin heading toward the entrance. The movie definitely isn't over, why is he here?

"I thought I told you to watch the movie. Why'd you come?" I told Jimin and he chuckled before responding.

"This jump scare came up and I had no one to make fun of it with." He said and I swear I almost melted. Jiyoon yelling interrupted me from responding.

"Jungkook! The movie was horrible without you, I just had to leave." She clinged onto his shoulder but he just stood there with his lips folded. "Taehyung said that him and Vivian are going to stay and watch. So why don't we all eat somewhere?"

"Yeah that sounds cool." Jimin said but I wasn't really interested and had enough for the night.

"I'm tired, so I'll have to pass."

"Okay then I guess I'll take us home." Jungkook finally spoke up.

"It's fine. You go with Jiyoon, I'll take Sua home." Jimin said before smiling at me. I wasn't sure if I was ready to be alone with him in a car but I also wanted Jiyoon to be happy, so I agreed.

"Okay Jimin, I'll just go with you." I said and Jiyoon clapped her hands.

"Then it's settled! But I need to get my jacket, I'll be right back Kookie." Oh how could I forget that he had a nickname. Jungkook just had a plain expression the whole time, but I really didn't think it was anything.

"I'll go get the car." Jimin said before leaving and then it was only Jungkook and I again. We only looked at each other and for some reason I felt some sort of tension.

Jiyoon was coming back and Jungkook quickly spoke, "Good Luck." He smiled before leaving with Jiyoon on his arm. There was something weird about how he spoke. He was much more quieter then normal. I shrugged and was happy that at the end of the day they ended up okay. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around.

"You coming?"

-

"Okay here's your apartment building." Jimin stopped in front of the gate. In the car, we talked a lot and surprisingly it wasn't awkward.

"Thank you for driving." I told him and we smiled at each other.

"So, since you were tired today, do you think you'll be less tired tomorrow? Why don't you and I go eat out tomorrow?" Jimin asked and I had a huge coughing fit. He patted my back and laughed lightheartedly.

"Are you okay?" I thought of something casual to say.

"Yeah I'm fine. See you tomorrow, at the restaurant I mean cause you asked." I shut my eyes trying to erase what I said even though I was aware that it was impossible. Jimin laughed before nodding.

"Okay."
