Almost two weeks had passed since that Monday afternoon in the café, and things couldn't be better for Jungkook. The thick wall that had been up between him, Jimin and Hoseok had finally crumbled and their bond was becoming as strong as it once was.

Jungkook finally revealed the truth to his friends about the reason he became such a player and he told them about Taehyung. After you realized that he could be quite wise and a good person to talk to, you became firm friends with Yoongi, and you opened up to him about your struggles with Hyuna. The change was a lot for everyone to process, but things seemed to be flowing smoothly.

You and Jungkook arranged for everyone to come over to your house for dinner on Saturday evening so that the boys could finally meet Taehyung.

You were slightly afraid that Jimin and Hoseok might hold a grudge against your brother for being a bad influence on Jungkook, even though you had assured them that he was now in a stable relationship and was changing for the better.

But you had no reason to doubt, as when Friday evening came, and your home was filled with six loud men and of course your best friend, everyone got along with Taehyung like a house on fire. He was a very likeable person and as it was hard to dislike someone of his nature, he naturally got along with almost everybody he met.

After you have all appreciatively devoured the meal, everyone is laughing and joking while they sit around the dinner table. Jin has shown off his skills and cooked up a feast in your kitchen, and as could be expected from him the food was very high standard.

"Ah, Jin Hyung, how do you do it?" Jungkook sits back in his chair with a satisfied smile on his face.

"A chef never reveals his secrets," Jin taps the side of his nose.

"Don't you mean magician?" Jimin pipes up.

"Shut up, shortie," Jungkook snickers, earning a light smack on the arm from Jimin. You watch in deep thought as the pair toss playful banter towards one another. Even though he teases him all the time and often drops the honorifics just to annoy him, the love and respect Jungkook had for Jimin shone through all the time. Even though Jungkook was Jimin's boss, it was clear he still sees him as his older brother and someone to look up to.

"Let's play a game," Hoseok's loud voice pulls you from your train of thought.

"What kind of game?" Taehyung asks curiously. Hoseok grins his dazzling white smile before picking up an empty glass bottle from the table.

"Oh no," Yoongi groans. "Anything but this,"

"You mean, oh yes," Hoseok smirks. "Spin the bottle,"

Minji snorts. "What is this, high school?"

Hoseok only shrugs, beckoning everyone to sit in a circle on the large rug before the television. He sits down and places the bottle in the centre of the rug, blinking up at us all expectantly.

"Come on, I promise it will be fun,"

Everyone sighs in defeat and goes to join Hoseok on the floor.

"I'll go first," He says with a wicked grin. "Whoever it lands on has to... take off their shirt,"

You feel your heart begin to race, praying the bottle doesn't point to you.

Settling into a circle, you all watch as he deftly flicks his wrist and sets the bottle spinning. It rotates round and round, slowing to a stop.

Your breath hitches and you almost choke on the air. The bottle is unmistakably pointing right at... Jungkook. He looks up and catches your eye, and both of you blush and look away.

Nobody notices this little exchange except for Minji. She smirks to herself and leans into your ear.

'I knew you liked him" she whispers triumphantly.

Still blushing, you glare at her ferociously.

"Seriously?" Jungkook shoots Hoseok a look. Hoseok only smiles at him smugly and says "Rules are rules, little Maknae," earning an eye roll from the younger man.

Taehyung snickers at Hoseok's words, covering Minji's eyes jokingly as Jungkook slowly peels off his white v-neck. You feel the heat rush all over your body as for the second time in your life Jungkook's toned torso is out on display in front of you. Your eyes trace over the defined muscles, lingering on his toned biceps.

"OOoooooh, JungKOOK! Someone's been hitting the gym!" Hoseok laughs, punching his upper arm.

Jungkook blushes again. "Fuck off and let's get on with the game,"

"Okay, okay,"

You can barely even breathe. How was he even real? Shaking your head to clear your thoughts, you try to concentrate on the game. About half an hour passes, and Yoongi has ended up sitting on Hoseok's lap (much to the younger's protest) and Tae had to play the pocky game with Minji. You can barely even contribute to the conversation with your shirtless boss sitting opposite you. You have a very hard time trying not to stare.

At last, it's Yoongi's turn to pick a dare. Everyone sits to attention, knowing full well how merciless he can be. He scans his eyes over everyone until his eyes land on Jimin, who hasn't participated in a dare yet.

"Whoever this bottle lands on," he looks around at us all with glee. "Has to kiss Jimin on the lips for AT LEAST a full five seconds,"

All the boys groan and you let out an amused chuckle at the thought of one of them having to kiss the horrified Jimin. But your giggling soon subsides as Yoongi spins the bottle around and it slows down gradually, getting nearer and nearer to you as it finally stops. The neck of the bottle is pointing between you and Minji who is sitting beside you. It is slightly more towards you, enough to confirm that it's definitely you that would have to perform the dare.

"Ah! Y/N, looks like you're the lucky girl," Yoongi grins wickedly.

"No, no. The bottle is pointing towards Minji!," the voice is laced with desperation, and you look up in shock to see the still shirtless Jungkook is the one who is making this protest. Why would he not want you to be the one who does the dare? You look down at the bottleneck, and there was no mistaking it; it was clearly skewed towards you.

Taehyung glares at Jungkook, putting an arm around his girlfriend.

"No, it's clearly pointing towards Y/N. Sorry, sis,"

Jungkook huffs and crosses his arms over his bare chest, anger dancing in his eyes that you fail to notice at first.

You're slightly perplexed. Jimin is just your friend, and this might make things awkward between you. But it's just a kiss, right? Surely nothing will come of it.

You look up at Jimin, and he's sitting back against the wall with a blush tainted on his cheeks. You need to just get this over and done with.

You lean across to him and lean in closer until your lips meet. You try not to think about what you're doing right now as you begin to count the seconds in your head. You start to feel a heat spread across your own cheeks, not because you have feelings for Jimin but because you feel awkward kissing your friend. It just feels... wrong. At last the five seconds are up, and you pull away quickly and sit back in your original position.

You barely have time to process how awkward and embarrassed you and Jimin both are right now before suddenly Jungkook stands up abruptly. He lingers in his place for a second, his gaze locked with yours. To your utter astonishment, those stormy dark eyes are full of anger, hurt and jealousy. Breaking the brief eye contact, he grabs his shirt from the arm of the couch. He storms out of the room, slamming the living room door behind him. You stare around at the others who all seem as equally shocked as you are. Their mouths are hanging open. Yoongi looks slightly guilty, and Jin only shakes his head knowingly.

Getting up hurriedly without hesitation, and you rush to the door. You have to go after him.

A/N

I apologize for adding the cliche game of spin the bottle. I am a terrible person but the story will get better, I promise. Next chapter will be in Jungkook's POV xx
