"Yaaa!" Taehyung put his hand on your shoulder from behind you, startling you to death.

"Kamjagiya!"
[you startled me!]

Taehyung bursted into laughter as he walked to stand infront of me.

"I'm sorry for making you wait," he pouted.

"Eomma wanted to give you this," he handed you a little snow globe with the Eiffel tower inside.

"She went to Paris and came home today. She wanted to cook you your favorite dish tonight but I told her we were going somewhere," he explained.

"Wow, thank you~ tell her I'll come to your house when I have time."

Basically, you and Taehyung had been bestfriends since you were seven. Your parents were also close friends.

You even moved from Daegu to Seoul just with Taehyung. Your parents trust Taehyung a lot, sometimes, they trust Taehyung more than you.

Your parents treat him as a son while Taehyung's parents treat you the same, as a daughter.

"Shall we go?" Taehyung took his hand out.

You placed your hand on his and you started walking to a certain destination.

People always mistook you for being a couple since you stick to each other like gums. Even your parents always tease you.

They just don't know.

Taehyung– he is special in many ways. Of course, he has a special place in your heart. But not once did you think of yourself being in a relationship with him.

Although he was like a boyfriend in some ways. He's undeniably handsome.
He's caring. He's talented. He's well-mannered. A gentleman.

But still— as his bestfriend, Kim Taehyung is sometimes an annoying jerk.

You did admit, he was super boyfriend material, but both you and Taehyung never really talked about your feelings toward each other.

It just- never comes up into your minds.

Even when you both initiate so much skinship, you just aren't sure about your heart.

"Kiddo, we're here," Taehyung spoke, interrupting your deep thoughts.

You arrived infront of a private clubhouse. It was supposed to be a class reunion.

You entered the place and your old classmate, Mika, greeted you.

"Annyeong! Our muse is still so pretty~" she complimented.

"Ah, are you kidding?" Taehyung jokingly scoffed.

"And still, the bickering pair," Mika chuckled.

You looked around and spotted another close friend of yours who you had kept in touch with.

You weren't surprised that girls were around him. But when he saw you, his gaze never left you.

Jungkook was known to be a playboy, or at least that's what they say. But he's nice to you and he had never played with your heart, even once.

You always wondered why he kept on playing around with girls. One time, he told you he had never had his first kiss yet. And you sarcastically chuckled, not even believing him.

He is too handsome to not have his first kiss at the age of twenty one.

You realized you had been staring at him so you looked away, almost bumping into a table.

"Tae, let's go get some drinks," you said and Taehyung nodded.

You both had two bottles of soju, already tipsy at that point.

Taehyung gently grabbed your hand, kissing it.

You raised an eyebrow, more confused than you already were when you drank.

Your head was spinning. Not literally though.

"What the heck are you doing dude?" You said in an unusual voice.

"Do you love me?"

You thought for a while. Maybe you did?

"I guess?"

He was like family to you. More than that, he's a caring gentleman who's been there beside you for years.

No— this doesn't feel right.

But then, your gaze met someone else's.

Jungkook.

"I don't know.." you muttered to Taehyung and stood up, walking away, bumping into a few people.

"Jungkookie- oppa!" You walked tipsily towards the guy who had girls swarming around.

It was the first time you called him oppa since you hated honorifics. Maybe your mind was just too blank— or you were crazy.

You almost fell when you didn't see the chair infront of you since you were staring straight at Jungkook— or you just did, on Jungkook's chest.

He held your waist so you could stand straight. He smelled your breath– soju.

He held your shoulders and walked you to the lounge where nobody was.

He sat you down, a smile forming on his lips.

You placed your arms around his neck.

"I can finally confess.." he whispered.

"Jungkook-ah," you looked at his eyes and felt a strange feeling.

"I," Jungkook paused.

"You what..?" You said, eyes closing.

"Iloveyou," he mumbled fast.

"W-what?" You widened your eyes.

You couldn't control what you were doing and saying, of course it was because of alcohol.

But it was true. Since then, Jungkook had always laid his eyes on you.

Every girl who goes around him had never crossed his line.

Jungkook never flirted, because he's secretly saving himself for you.

But you never noticed.

"Hey, you're pretty today," he smiled.
"Oh shut up," you scoffed jokingly but broke into a smile.

You had always thought he was just playing around with you.

"Do you know how much I like you?"
He asked.

"No. You're lying.." you pointed a finger at him.

Your words pierced his heart. "I- I'm not.."

"You are... a playboy!"

"Ouch."

Now that hurt.

He pursed his lips and frowned.
"Am I?" He thought to himself.

He was sure to himself that you were the only one who made his heart jump.

He stood up and walked away, emotions starting to eat him up upon your hurtful words.

He walked towards Taehyung.

"Collect your girl, she's in the lounge."
He said emotionlessly.

| Morning |

You woke up with a headache, though last night was still— oh no.

You remembered a little bit from last night. Taehyung's question and... Jungkook's confession.

"Hey kid, are you alright?" Taehyung asked while fixing his hair infront of the mirror.

"About last night.." you said in an embarassed tone.

"Oh yeah. I didn't mean what I asked! I'm so sorry," he explained.

"Me too! I didn't mean what I answered, I'm sorry!" You chirped back.

You looked at each other for a while, before breaking into laughter.

"What the heck did I even say?" Taehyung mocked himself.

"I know right.. but.. where are you going?"

"Jungkook wanted to meet," he said.

This is the chance, you thought.

"Can I come?"

"No. He said he wanted private talk."

"Aish." You cursed under your breath but had a plan anyway.

You've decided that you'll just follow him there.

"I'm going, bye." Taehyung left.

You got dressed in an unusual outfit. You didn't want to be recognized while you'll try to sneak and overhear their conversation.

You wore a mask and sunglasses before getting out of your shared apartment.

It was cold outside, good thing you wore an ugly jacket.

Fashion is dead for now.

You walked fast and saw Taehyung's back far from you. You ran until you were a little closer to him. He went inside a coffee shop.

You stopped for a while before fixing yourself, making sure he doesn't recognize you.

You went in the coffee shop, seeing him and Jungkook sitting in the corner.

You ordered iced latte first so you wouldn't look too suspicious.

You hurried to the empty seat near their table and pretended to be on your phone.

"Oh.. I never knew you like her. You should've told me so I helped you get her," Taehyung said to Jungkook.

"It's no use. She even said I was a playboy.." he let out a sarcastic airy laugh.

You stopped yourself from gasping.
Did I say that? Oh shoot.

The truth is, I like him.

He makes you feel the thing they called love. You loved the way he told you sweet words, and the way he ignored everyone else when he would talk to you.

And the way he looks at you like you're the only girl he sees among the crowd of girls waiting on him.

"She was just drunk. You could've tried when she was.. well, conscious..?"

"I know, I'm dumb. But I guess she sees me as a playboy," Jungkook shrugged with a fake smile.

"I should go now. I still have to meet my dad." Jungkook smiled at Taehyung before standing up.

"Please. Take care of her." He muttered lastly before leaving Taehyung.

You casually drank your iced coffee, only to realize you had been sipping on air because you already finished it awhile ago.

"You're being too obvious now," Taehyung sat infront of you.

You rolled your eyes at him.
"Was I?"

"Actually no," Taehyung chuckled.

"I'm going to work, bye bye," Taehyung stood up and left.

"What should I do now?" You asked yourself.

| 6 AM |

You finally had the courage to text him.

You had been going around in circles, not being able to stop when you know Jungkook thinks you hate him.

you:
jungkook can i talk to you?

jk:
oh hey, sure u can call

you:
uhh can we meet?

jk:
is it that urgent?

you:
kinda

jk:
oh ok. i'll wait for u outside gyeonggi restaurant

| Meanwhile |

"Jungkook-ah."

"Ne appa?"

"I want you to get married." His dad firmly said.

"U-uh, why?" Jungkook asked.

"For our company. Wait— don't tell me you don't even have a girlfriend..?"

Jungkook pursed his lips. "I.. do!"

A text popped up on Jungkook's phone.

It was from you.

"Really? When can I meet her?"
His dad asked.

"S-soon. I'll set the date."

"Excuse me, dad, I'll be back," Jungkook went outside of the restaurant and waited.

| You |

You saw Jungkook waiting outside the restaurant, looking stunning in that black suit.

Just looking at him already makes your heart thump.

And when he turned to you, it was as if the world stop. You were nervous.

"Hey," he smiled, but behind that smile there was a memory that still hurts.

Last night.

"Hey," you smiled back.

"About last night..." you muttered in a shy tone.

"I'm sorry." You both said in unison.

"No wait—" again, you said it at the same time.

"I was drunk, I didn't mean to say you were a playboy.." you looked down.

"I-it's alright," he half-heartedly smiled.

"I knew you didn't like me—"

"Who said I didn't like you?" You interrupted him.

"I never said that I don't like you." You stepped closer.

His eyes were wider than usual and you could tell he was flustered.

You slipped your hands around his waist. "I'm sorry.."

"Iloveyoutoo," you mumbled fast.

"W-what?" His jaw dropped, but he hugged you back while your words registered in his mind.

"Oh." He said after a minute and then pulled away.

He grinned. The painful words were now replaces with sweet words.

He cupped your cheeks and pecked your lips.

He intertwined your hands and took you inside the restaurant.

"Dad." His dad looked at Jungkook as you hid behind his back.

"You wanted to meet my girlfriend, right?"
