He grabs my hand and we bow in front of the audience, before standing up straight up while Mr. Kim talks about the play and thanks everyone for coming. I notice Jungkook's mother and my mother sitting in the front row. I smile at them as they are standing up and cheering. I also see Jimin and Chaeyoung together throwing me thumbs ups. I then see two people stand up and leave the audience. My eyes follow them as they leave the theatre.

Jungkook? My eyebrows knit and I notice her holding his wrist. I instantly know who it is, who else would be with him? That Lalisa girl. He has some nerve to bring her here. I hadn't even noticed that the curtains closed. "Aye, what's wrong?" I hear his deep voice, I instantly snap out of it. "Nothing." I smile widely, "You're telling me after, okay?" He asks. I shrug. He pulls me under his arm.

"You did great today, everyone loved you." He explains. I smile. He always knows how to make me feel better. "Only cause you're on stage with me." He smiles that cute shaped smile. I set my hand on his that lays on my shoulder. "Okay everyone! We have about thirty minutes until next show, take a break. Everyone did amazing, keep up the great work. You can go say hi to your families in the audience." Mr. Kim explains.

Taehyung takes me outside and a woman walks up to us, she's wearing business attire. "Son, you did such a great job." She says. She looks at me. "Ah, don't even get me started on you young lady. You've got talent, you'll be going far hon. Far I tell you. I wish Taehyung had a partner like you back in his PA school years." She explains. I bow to her, "Thank you Mrs. Kim." She smiles.

She takes out her phone, "Get together please, I want a picture to show your father. He's going to be so proud of you." Taehyung instantly pulls me by my waist close to him, I feel my face heat up and I wrap my arms around him. "Ah, so cute. You guys are a thing right?" She asks. "Eommaaa." He whines.

"Ah!!!! My baby!!!!!!" I hear my mom, I instantly feel embarrassed. "You looked so great up there my little kitty you, I'm so happy! You were amazing!" She says quickly with so much excitement in her voice. I smile. She then catches a glimpse of Taehyung. "Oh my, he's even cuter in person. Oh Jennie, please tell me you two are a thing. On stage you are both just the cutest thing." She whispers.

"Eomma, wait until we get home to talk about this." I whisper. She uses the tips of her fingers to cover her mouth as she laughs. "Eomma, this is Taehyung and his mother." I introduce them. "Ah, its such a pleasure to meet you. Your son was absolutely amazing, it makes me happy that I signed that form for the ending kiss." My mom explains making me blush super hard.

"Jennie, you were so amazing, I wish Jungkook was here to see you." Jungkook's mother said as she walks up to me. I try my absolute best not to make a face, she didn't know that he was actually there? "He's been so busy lately, I didn't want to bother him. I'm sure he'll come and watch you one of these days." She smiles, I want to roll my eyes so hard right now.

He's so busy being with that chemically blonde girl from Thailand. Hmp. Waste of time, I'd say. "Thank you Auntie." I say and she pulls me into a hug. "Oh yes, your daughter is amazing, she has a gift. I know, me too, the kiss really added to the romanticism of the story." I hear his mother.

"I was thinking, at my house we were going to have an amazing dinner hosted by my sister here and I." My mother explains, she introduces Jungkook's mother as her sister. She always did that, they've known each other for years. But, of course they're not actual sister. "And its for Jennie, congratulating her with her opening day of her first play of her last year of high school. You two should come." My mother suggests.

I feel fingers touch the palm of my hand and I turn and look at him. He smiles and intertwines our fingers. "Oh yes, we'd love to go. Right Taehyung." His mother says. "Of course, eomma." He says looking at our mothers. "Would you like me to bring anything?" His mother asks and I shut everything out, whatever the mothers are to talking about.

I turn and look at Taehyung and he pulls me away from the conversation, and away from the theatre. We stand in back if a building. "Now tell me what's wrong." He says. "Nothing." I smile, running my hands down his costume that's a tux coat. "You're such a good actress but such a bad liar." He whispers.

"It's nothing really." I tell him. "Does it have to do anything with that kid?" He asks. I look at him confused, "Kid?" I ask. "You know, that quiet kid you used to walk to school with.", "Oh, Jungkook. No, it's not about him." I lie. "You know, I just remembered something. A couple weeks ago, him and his short friend were talking about you and I." He explains.

My eyebrows knit, "Jimin?" I ask. He rolls his eyes. "I don't know the kid, and I frankly don't care. But they were talking about you and I." I bite my lip. "Why?" I ask. He shrugs. "I guess the quiet kid got jealous seeing us together." I raise an eyebrow. "Really? Jungkook get jealous?" I ask in disbelief.

"What? You don't think he should be jealous? I have the prettiest girl in school, I have all her attention." I lean against the wall and he sets a hand on the wall next to me. "He wanted to find out who I was." This is completely absurd, Jungkook? Jealous? "And I scared him and his friend half to death when I barged into their conversation, introducing myself." He smiles.

"And he went off on saying that he's known you all his life and that he knows for a fact that you wouldn't want a guy lie me." I become angry. "What?" I ask, "But I didn't believe him, jealousy does that to people. It causes you to say things that are outrageous." He moves my hair out of my face.

"But you like me right?" He asks me. I quickly nod, "Of course I do, how can I not?" I ask. He smiles. "Do you have any sort of feeling for this kid?" He asks. I look at him mad, "Really Taehyung?" I ask him. He nods. "I just want to make sure that you don't leave me for that kid." He says. "Now you're just taking dumb, I would never have feelings for Jungkook. He's nothing like you, he's literally like a brother to me. He's nothing more." I explain.

"Good." He says. I nod. "We should go back." He suggests. Before he can walk away, I pull his jacket. He instantly smiles, as if he knew I'd do it. "You get to kiss me three more times today, won't you get enough of me?" He asks. I shake my head. "A five second kiss isn't enough." I whisper. He slowly leans in and I lean into him too. Our lips touch and the kiss went of for a couple seconds.

"Taehyung? Where'd you guys go?" He smiles against my lips, taking my hand and we walk together back to our mothers. They all have huge smiles on their faces. "So we're going to the Jeon house hold tonight for dinner. Isn't that nice?" His mother asks him. He bows, "Thank you for the invitation." He says, my mother instantly pulls him into a hug.

"I'm so happy that you're with Jennie." My mother says excitedly. I'm about to correct her when I feel him squeeze my hand, I smile. My mother approves, his mother approves, we're good. My heart starts to feel happy. We all exchange good byes and we head back into the theatre. People are scrambling trying to fix the background.

Taehyung and I immediately go to help. "They're already letting people in students, please be ready!" Mr. Kim announces. We finally get the stage back to the set up for the beginning. For the rest of the night we have back to back shows, everything is going great.

I hold her hand as we walk to her house. "Are you excited?" She asks. I look at her and nod, "Of course I'm excited." I tell her. She smiles. "After this you'll be going out with me, right?" I feel her arm stiffen, I grin. "I mean, everyone is already suspecting that we're together. Might as well give everyone what they want right?" I ask.

"Taehyung, I really like you. I just don't want to look easy." She confesses. I raise an eyebrow, I'm bit confused. "But people already think that your my girlfriend, so why does that matter?" I ask. She shrugs. That Jungkook kid? "Because of Jungkook?" I ask, she instantly becomes angry. "I've just never been in a relationship before, so I'm a little nervous." Oh, that's reasonable.

"Is that why you keep turning me down when I ask?" I stare at her face. She slightly nods. I wrap my arm around her and bring her against me as we are on the block of her house. "You like me, I like you, there's nothing to be nervous about baby." I tell her. We are about to walk up to her house when she pushes me to the house next door.

"This is Jungkook's house." She explains. I bite my lip. "Oh, that's nice." I honestly hate that kid, ever since he was talking about me behind my back. And making assumptions that Jennie wouldn't like a guy like me, ha. I'll really make sure to get under his skin tonight. It's what he deserves.

We walk into the house and I instantly hear her mother screeching, I smile. She really likes me. "Oh Taehyung! I'm so happy that you're here!" She exclaims. "Oh, I'm here too eomma." Jennie whines. Her mother makes a 'tsk' sound and swats Jennie's words away. "You're obviously supposed to be here." She laughs before pulling us farther into the house. My mother is already here, she's helping in the kitchen.

Ha, that's a first. She's always so busy at work I make myself food and for my father ever since he's been on bed rest. "Ah, the star couple is here." She smiles. "Jungkoooooook!!!! Come down and greet everyone." I'm assuming his mother calls. I listen very closely for his arrival, but there was no sound.

His mother blushes. "That kid, haha, I guess he's not home yet." She explains. "It's okay, I'm sure he'll be home before dinner. Why don't you two go into the living room and relax in the mean time." Jennie's mother explains. "Okay." Jennie answers before pulling my hand into the living room. It's a really nice house.

I examine pictures on the wall, hmm, no father.. like Jennie. I see a lot of pictures with Jungkook and Jennie together, I feel my heart roaring with jealousy. "Taehyung." I hear her call me. I look at her, she smiles. "Don't get all mad over nothing. These pictures show clearly how close like siblings we are." She explains.

But I could always see it in his face that he has something for her. In all these pictures, I hate it, I want that look in his eyes to be gone. I lightly pull her curls with my fingers, seeing them unravel then bounce back into place. I push her hair behind her ear. I run my fingers along her jaw, she seems nervous.

Her eyes stare into mine, her lips have gloss on them. That's new, she must have put it on when I was looking at the pictures. That makes me want to kiss her even more. I lower my head and stop when I feel her breath against my cheek. He wraps her arms around my neck and uses one of her hands to pull the back of my head, connecting our lips.

She leaves her fingers in my hair and I wrap my arms around her small body. I then hear the front door open, ha, Jungkook. I open my eyes and look up to see Jungkook standing frozen as he looks at us. He looks so sad, good. I smile, and Jennie pulls my cheek to kiss her again, making me smile even more. He obviously saw that, haha, ain't that a dagger through the heart?

I then hear the mothers screeching that he's home, I slowly pull away from her lips. Savoring the strawberry flavored lip gloss. She looks up and smiles at me. "You're in love with me, aren't you?" I ask. Her face turns pink. And before she can answer- "Jennie! Jungkook is here." Her mother walks into the living room and I step away from Jennie.

"Oh, that's nice." Jennie says. Jungkook slowly comes into view, I smile and suck on my lips. Showing him that her lip gloss is all over my lips. "Hi Jennie, sorry I missed your play.." he says, and she looks mad. She waits until her mother is gone. "You're such a liar Jungkook, I saw you at the play, you left before everyone else." He looks startled.

"I-ah-", "You nothing." Jennie says. "You were very good though.." he says, her shoulders relax. "I told you I'd go an watch you, I just thought today was a good idea, since my meet got cancelled." He shrugs. I see her expression change. "I promised.. didn't I?" He asks. She slowly nods.

"And I came." He grins. But there was something sad in his eyes, he saw the kiss in the play. Must have crushed him like a little bug. She surprised me when she gives him a hug. He hugs her tight and looks right at me as his hands hold her small back. My eyebrows knit.

She pulls away, "This is Taehyung." She introduces me, as if forgetting what I had told her at the school. We've obviously met. "Nice to meet you, you were really good too." He lies, I know he's lying. "Thanks." I say. "Kiddos, the food is ready." I hear my mother, Jennie walks out of the living room.

He faces the way Jennie went, I set my hand on his shoulder. "Don't like what you see?" I ask. He stays quiet. "Don't worry, you'll be seeing us kiss more often." I whisper as I pat his shoulder and walk into the dinning room. Jennie is already sitting down, the seat next to her is empty. I walk as fast as I could and take the seat, when I sit down he's already sitting in front of Jennie next to my mother.

We say grace and we all dig in. "So I've been wanting to know." I say, catching everyone's attention. "I wanted to ask you if you'd allow me to take your daughter out for a nice dinner." I ask her mother. Ms. Kim smiles big, "Of course! I think that would be great, I'm surprised you two haven't gone out before." She says. I smile.

"She's been waiting patiently." I turn and look at Jennie. "So yes?" I ask. She doesn't look at anyone else but me. "Of course." She answers. I smile wide and look forward to Jungkook, whose stuffing food in his mouth. The mothers all screech, "This is so exciting. I hope you two have the best time ever." My mother says.

What a great way to rub it in his face, Jennie is mine. She's nobody else's, and she sure as hell ain't his. He stays quiet, good.

**

I can't believe Taehyung asked me in front of everyone, I felt so pressured. I guess he got the answer he wanted, I had told him that I was nervous and he did it anyways. Well, at least we're going out. That makes me happy.

Most of the conversation going around was from the mothers. Jungkook didn't say much, I want to know what he was up to. "So, Jungkook." I start, catching his attention. "What were you up to today? Your mother says you were quite busy." I raise an eyebrow. He chews his food before answering.

"Out with friends." Is all he says before taking a drink from his cup. I nod slowly, "Who?" I ask. "Jimin, Chaeyoung and Lalisa." He says. "Oh, the girl you went to my play with?" I ask, causing the mothers to stop talking. It's quiet and he looks shooketh. "You went to Jennie's play?" His mother asks. He nods. "With a girl." I say for him.

My mother and his mother shriek, taking me by surprise. "With a girl!? What's her name?" My mother asks. "Lalisa, she's from Thailand.", "Ooooooo, very pretty girls from there. I want to meet her." His mother says. "Me too, me too. I want to see the lucky girl who has snatched our little Kookies heart." His face turns pink. How come he isn't correcting anyone that she's just a friend? Ugh!

"But he says she's just a friend." I say for him, he looks up at me shocked. "Right?" I ask. "Yes." He says simply. "Oh, baby. It's starts like that at first, then you'll be hugging her and kissing her. And you'll be telling me she's your girlfriend in no time." His mother says. "I agree definitely, I'm so happy for you Kookie. You're growing up so fast." My mother adds.

"You can see her when we have our meet Friday, she's on varsity like me." Jungkook explains. "Ooooo, she must be super fast. Especially to keep up with you." My mother says. "Jungkook, where is your sweater? It's cold outside." His face turns pink. "I let her borrow it." He says looking down at his food.

"Aaaaaah!!! It's already begun!" My mother exclaims. "Isn't she the girl you walk home everyday?" I ask out of no where. "Oh my gosh, you want her home?" His mother asks. He nods, "Jungkook, I've taught you well." I roll my eyes and continue to eat my food.

We all finish dinner and we had dessert which which Taehyung's mother brought. Only the mothers talked and we all stayed quiet. I grab Taehyung's hand and intertwine our fingers. He kisses my cheek and I smile. Sadly they couldn't stay after dinner because his mother got a call from her office, so they had to leave immediately.

I'll be seeing more of her more often hopefully, I want his parents to like me. We stay all night at Jungkook's house but I stay on my phone texting Taehyung.

I smile endlessly at my phone, I then look up and see Jungkook on his phone too, laying on the couch in the living room. I roll my eyes, he's never going to have the guts to date a girl.

And why did he make it seem like him and that blonde girl are together? He's such a liar. I bet it's all her fault he left my play early, hmp. What ever. Jungkook would never like a girl like her.
