"Where did I go wrong?" I asked, looking dead.

"Everywhere." Jungkook and Yoongi said in unison.

"Remind me to never listen to Jimin again," I said somberly, making them nod.

"Never again."

A few hours before the disaster

"So what's the game plan?" Yoongi asked, looking interested.

"Well, I was planning on just asking him ou-"

"Unacceptable!" Jimin said, slamming a fist onto the table.

We all stared, not knowing what was wrong with him.

"Huh?"

"Listen to my idea." He demanded.

"Okay..." I started slowly. "What do you want me to do?"

"You should make a grand gesture." He said, looking proud of himself.

Jungkook snorted, making Jimin glare at him.

"What?"

"...but I'm just asking him out on a date?"

"Just?!" He said, looking like I deeply offended him.

"I'm just going to ask him if he wants to go on a date, not be my boyfriend." I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah I know you want to test the waters and see how it all is blah blah blah- but every single moment counts! You gotta make everything memorable. Imagine telling this story to your kids-"

I chuckled nervously. "Jimin, I think you're thinking a little too far."

"My bad."

"Yeah."

"Imagine telling this story to your first kid-"

"Jimin!" Y/N and I exclaimed in unison.

"Okay okay! Anyway, it should be a story to tell. Don't you want him to be happy too?" He asked.

"...but it's just the first da-"

He puffed his cheeks and turned away, making me sigh in exasperation.

I started thinking. Maybe he was right? What if Taehyung was into grand gestures and I just never knew? I mean I didn't know he was into me until a few days ago.

His taste is seriously weird.

And he did secretly talk to Jimin a lot...

"Fine. Enlighten me. What do you want me to do?"

His eyes practically lit up as he smiled.

"Good to know you're on board. So first..."

An hour later

"Are you even sure that this is the right thing to do?" I asked nervously, playing with my hair.

"Of course!" He said, gleaming. "Nothing could go wrong."

The hair on my neck stood up, making me think otherwise.

That line always makes me nervous.

"Alright." I pushed away my gut feeling, trusting Jimin for this once.

"I still feel that this could go wrong," Yoongi remarked, making me pause.

So my gut feeling could be right.

"Psh. Nothing can go wrong. It's simple. Play a lovely song in front of his door, get on your knees and-"

"That sounds wrong now that I think about it," Y/N commented, making me look at her.

"I knew I wasn't the only one."

"Get your mind out of the gutter." Jimin scolded before thinking. "Or let it stay. I don't know. You might need it. He always wanted 5 kids."

"Jimin."

"Alright. I'll stop. As I was saying- get on your knees and ask him out on your first date."

"Isn't this...a bit too much for the first date though?" I asked, scratching the nape of my neck.

"Nothing can be too much for Kim Taehyung." He said, making me nod aggressively.

"That's true." Jungkook sighed. "Go off, I guess."

"Good luck!" Jimin cheered.

"Wait! What song though?"

"Uhh...I don't know? Some romantic song I guess?"

"Bruh."

"How about 'Stay' by Blackpink?"

"Isn't that a sad song?"

"... oh crap you're right. Just any romantic song!"

"Okay okay." I sighed nervously. "I'm ready. I still have no idea why I had to dress up though."

"It's not too much. You look nice." Y/N said, making me feel a little better.

"Okay." I breathed out. "I'm going to go."

"Good luck!" They all said before walking away, leaving me alone near Jungkook and Taehyung's shared apartment.

I pressed the doorbell and got onto my knees, waiting for the door to open.

As the door opened, I looked down and quickly said my dramatic speech, completely forgetting to play the song.

"I've liked you without even realizing and I know it's weird, but it just happened. It took me some time to come out of denial, but I did and now I never want to go back. I was scared, yes, but your actions assured me that I wasn't alone in this. So following Jimin's advice, here I am." I said, chuckling nervously and not looking up to see his reaction.

"So what I want to ask is...will you go out on a date with me?"

"Uhhh...I don't know you but sure?" A voice said, making my head snap up.

There was a stranger there.

A stranger.

I just confessed to a stranger.

Fuck, Mira. You should've trusted your gut.

Taehyung was behind him, watching all this drama unfold. As we made eye contact, he quickly rushed inside.

"Oh wait. Wrong person." I quickly stood up, pretending I wasn't embarrassed and played it cool. "I'll be back later."

"So what about the date?"

"Uh- sorry I'm in love with someone else."

"Understandable. Have a great day."

"Wait- who are you?"

"Oh yeah. I'm the plumber." He explained, making me nod in realization.

I started regretting all my life decisions while smiling at the stranger whose name was Jung Hoseok.

What was with everyone around me looking gorgeous?

Ping.

I looked at the text from Tae, saying he'd meet up with me later.

I messed up.

~Present~

"Where is he anyway?" I asked, gritting my teeth. "I should've never listened to him. 'If you feel nervous, just don't look at his face!' He said. Look how that turned out."

"I told you, it was going to go wrong," Yoongi said smugly.

"Don't look so smug. Now you know how Jimin wants his first date to be. Good luck." I reminded.

Yoongi paled a bit.

"Leave him." Jungkook sighed. "He's hiding from you anyway. You'll never find him on time. You have bigger priorities right now."

"Yeah, like explaining yourself," Y/N said, making me groan.

"I should've just done things my way. Why did I let that guy get into my head?" I grumbled. "It's my fault. Should've stuck to my idea."

"Oh look. A message from Taehyung!" Jungkook said, looking at my phone.

I paled.

"Gimme!" I took my phone.

I closed the phone and sighed in relief.

"That's one less thing to explain," Jungkook said happily, making me yelp.

"Wh- were you all just standing behind me and reading the whole conversation?!"

"Yes." They answered without hesitation.

"Well, I'd do the same I guess." I shrugged before getting up from the corner I isolated myself into. "I have to get ready and go."

"Go get your man!" Jungkook cheered before pausing. "In your way!"

"I'll try my best." I smiled before getting to my room and flopping on my bed as I felt the embarrassment.

Yeah. Not happening.

Jungkook confessing to Mira: A failure.

Jungkook: It's not a big deal. Just walk up to her and ask her out. You're Jeon Jungkook. You can do it.

Mira: Do what?

Jungkook: *runs away at the speed of lightning*

Mira: ...okay then.
