The next day he is late to class,unsurprisingly, but hey, at least he came right?

Well, the professor doesn't give two shits about his arrival. Partially because she knows he will do well on the exams anyways, and partially because no matter what, she would have to cut his participation score.

Perhaps he is 30 mins later than usual. He blames it on his crush;he was thinking about Taehyung very intensely, and he ended up touching himself.

He is planning on continuing his search when class ends, but he is stopped when Taehyung approaches him with a big smile, "Kookie!"

His heart skips a beat at the nickname, "Y-Y-Yes?"

"Oh, do you mind what I call you?"

"Not at all! Sup?"

Hopefully he has forgotten about it, but it's only been one night so that's unlikely to happen.

"About your wounds.." Taehyung bites the skin of his thumb, "Does it still hurt?"

It does but not as much. Ever since getting bit by the spiders he has gained a faster regeneration rate. It made enduring such pain easier, but when it's only one night after, it's still fresh and painful. He needs at least 2 days. "I'm perfectly fine! The fact that I'm here means that I'm fine!!"

Taehyung giggles, "I'm glad. Then are you well enough to watch the Iron Man movie with me?"

Jungkook drops everything. Literally.

"It's ok if you don't want to! Just that Jimin said he couldn't make it.. I know you love Iron Man so I thought you were the perfect guy for me to ask."

Don't want to? Impossible. Not only does he love the hero but this could be a date. It has to be a date. right? "Of course I want to go with you!"

"Great! Are you free on Saturday?"

Ohmygod ohmygod it's happening.

"Absolutely! I'm free on Saturday!" And in hopes there will be no distraction.

He should tell Namjoon more about the villain, but just this once he can skip the entire villain search, he'll just have to tell Namjoon to do it for him and then he'll arrive at the scene. Easy, right? Besides, he thinks he can find them before Saturday.. if fate allows.

"That's super awesome! See ya then!" Taehyung's smile really makes his day considerably better. He smiles even as he is leaving, totally making his stomach bounce a couple of times with butterflies.

Wait a minute. This doesn't feel right.

Holy moly, he just realized the situation that he's in and, no, it's not only about the villain thing that's packing his schedule up.

Hoseok is near him, but his little tap on the shoulder still manages to startle the younger one, "Jungkook!"

"Holy shit!" Jungkook shouts in response. His spider senses were definitely not working; he almost tried to chop Hoseok's neck, "Hobi! You startled me there!"

He just laughs it off, "You seemed lost in thought, did something happen?"

Jungkook nods.,"You know how I like Tae, right?"

"Yea?" In fact, everyone probably knows.

"He invited me to watch the new Iron Man movie! Hobi, this is a date!!!"

Hoseok's eyes lighten in delight, "Congrats bro, you're going to graduate out of virgin class soon!!"

Jungkook frowns, "I'm 100% sure we're not going to a hotel."

Hoseok watches as the young man continues with his small bunny-hop-step in expressing his excitement. "Wait a minute, earlier I heard from Jimin that he couldn't make it.. So you're replacing him?"

"Yes! Wait-- You're coming too??" He frowns again.

Hoseok shakes his head, "Lucky for you, I wasn't even given an offer!" It's somehow a bit of relief on Jungkook's side. "But congratulations for your first date! You oughta use the opportunity to make a move." Hoseok was just as happy for him. Perhaps they're starting to believe that his love life is actually slowly coming together.

"I'm not fucking anyone though," Jungkook adds.

"I meant holding hands and hugging. Go read a manual for virgins or something."

Saturday is only a few days away, he needs to dress well.

Jungkook is holding his cellphone once again in an attempt to call the same number he did last night. Hopefully Namjoon will agree.

" What's up?"

He takes a deep breath, it's clear to the person on the other end of the line that he is nervous for something. "Last night while I was strolling, I saw a guy holding up this green mineral that was similar to an emerald, but it was somewhat glowing. They had bad vibes but as soon as I was gonna catch him he threw me hard and teleported away."

" What's the description of the man? "

"Tall, probably around his late 30's or early 40's. Black hair, brown eyes, kinda attractive but he smells like garlic."

" Last location ?"

"Downtown, 10 blocks to the South away from holy wings."

" I'm guessing you're asking me because you can't find them. Don't worry, I got ya but if you can't find him then it'll take some time for me. "

"Yea, it's better if you find them sooner though," Jungkook ends the call when there's nothing to discuss any longer. He didn't tell him about the date, it isn'tnecessary anyways. "Now for a cool shirt.." His outfit is what he cares more about.

-

Jungkook didn't ask to be bitten by a spider and he didn't go to the doctors when he found out he was bitten by a potentially dangerous spider. He thought to himself ' I'll die when I feel like dying'. With a bet from not feeling any changes in his body other than he felt lighter.

But then he sees himself doing unusual things that he previously couldn't do prior being bitten hence why he went to Namjoon.

"I think something is changing in me.. but I don't think I'm dying," He consulted him, which the scientist Namjoon was surprised upon.

"It must be an escaped experiment! I found it dead a few days ago but I didn't think it bit anyone! Tell me kid, how do you feel?"

"Well.. I feel lighter, my hands and feet stick very well to walls when I command and I think I'm stronger..? I gained a lot of muscle weight recently."

Namjoon sighs in relief, "That's a good sign.. Oh god, that is a good sign. I really don't want to appear on the news for illegal poisoning from a third party. Phew!" Of course, that was what he was most worried about. "But can I experiment on you for just a bit? Just to keep an eye on all the side effects that you'll feel later on."

But if he really will die, he wishes that his love will be returned before he dies. That would be nice, dying with no regrets.

Funny story. He expects Namjoon to call him before Saturday but the villain is just good at hiding that even the great Namjoon himself is having a hard time.

It was as if he disappeared himself.

"Fate can't be that much of an asshole.. right?" Things just can't come out right now on the day when he's busy right?

He may have overdressed a little with a black turtleneck from Topman, black pants, combat boots and a pricy trench coat from Saint Laurent. Good thing Namjoon pays him for catching evil villains.

He arrives far too early. There's still 25 minutes until the movie starts, but there he is, afraid of being the late one of the couple.

Nothing happens so he only waits at the entrance of the theater until he finally sees Taehyung walking from a distance, then running to him when both of their eyes meet.

There's still 20 minutes left before the movie starts. It seems that both of them came earlier than the promised time.

"Woah, Jungkook. You look so.. fine!"

Butterflies easily form around his lungs and stomach, he thanks him with a soft smile and lightly tinted cheeks. It seems that Taehyung overdressed himself in expensive Gucci as well; just their color selection is far different. "You look extremely great today!"

"You're dressed in black," In contrast to Taehyung's brighter color outfit, "We're like polar opposites," Taehyung points out the obvious, " And like a couple.. " He whispers the last part to which Jungkook fortunately manages to hear due to his spider powers. That's one of the good features of it.

Jungkook blushes, "Y-Yea.."

"Oh!" Taehyung is blushing furiously, "Pretend you never heard that. I was just talking to myself!!"

Now it really seems like a date.

"No promises," He sticks his tongue out playfully.

Get a grip JK. Just because the love of your life said that the two of you look like a couple doesn't mean he's gonna date you. He's just stating something obvious! Don't get your hopes too high .

Well his self reminder doesn't seem to be working because all he can replay in his memory was that short low breath whisper.

"But I thought I would be the one to arrive first though.. I didn't think you'd come earlier than me! How long have you been here?"

"Not long," He answers honestly, "I didn't want to keep you waiting."

"Me too! I was planning to order us popcorn first."

"Nope. I already ordered the big one." Jungkook shows his purchase receipts. All he needs to do is wait until the movie starts before he takes it.

Taehyung pouts, "You came earlier than me and you're buying us popcorn? Is this how my mom felt when she fought for the bill?" That little fact makes both of them laugh. "But are you sure you're fine to come? How are your wounds?"

At the end of the day Taehyung is still worried. He would love to enjoy the day and spend more time with him, but he is far from a fit condition. A human would need around 2 weeks for it to heal, especially in Jungkook's case.

In fact, Jungkook is already well and healthy: you can hardly see the marks. He doesn't know how to tell when it hasn't even been a week since the accident.

"I'm fine Taehyung. I'm better than you think, so let's enjoy the movie together."

Taehyung couldn't. He had seen how horrible it was with his own two eyes, but if Jungkook insists then so be it. So he forgets about the topic and just pretends Jungkook is alright. They're both chatting so casually – this is officially the best day of Jungkook's life. When will he ever get the chance to have a subtle conversation like this again? Uh, maybe in years to come!

"Then I'm treating us to drinks."

"Got that covered too," Again, he shows the proof of purchase.

"You really came...prepared huh?... Then I'm getting us dinner after the movie."

Jungkook pauses for a few seconds before he is able to process that into his brain, "Dinner?" So there's still more after the movie?

"Yea. Oh – or are you busy?"

"Not at all! Let's have dinner after this. My treat."

Taehyung thinks Jungkook is being adorable, "I told you, it's my treat." Any talk with them together always ends in a small laugh.

So they enter the cinema room with popcorn and drinks after seeing the cool posters on the wall. "Are you into horror?" Taehyung asks him when the movie is a minute away from starting.

"I don't mind it."

"Perfect! Let's come back next Saturday then to see a horror movie! "

Jungkook chuckles, "The movie hasn't even started and you're already mentioning next time?"

"Well.. because I want to be the one who treats you to popcorn.. also I enjoy your company."

The lights of the cinema shut just in time for Jungkook to hide his red cheeks. "The movie is about to start," He says knowing well that l the movie isn't the only thing he'll anticipate.

Half way through the movie Jungkook has switched between eating popcorn, watching the screen, and eyeing Taehyung's gorgeous face in the dark every 5 minutes.

"Oh no," Taehyung gasps slightly, seeing Iron Man's archenemy revealing himself to be a part of the entire mess in the beginning. "I hope he's gonna be ok," He whispers to Jungkook as he reaches for the popcorn.

"I thought you didn't like superheroes?" Jungkook asks in a whisper.

Taehyung raises his eyebrows, "Of course not. I just don't like Spiderman. I don't mind all the heroes."

Jungkook almost forgot about that. If only he had been careful and swooped him to work. "O-Oh yea, fuck Spiderman!" He earns a giggle.

Rather than the movie, he pays more attention to the young man sitting beside him. How can he not? He doesn't think there will be other chances of getting an opportunity to be this close to him.

The cinema is far from packed and they are sitting near the back. This would be the perfect time to make a move, at least show some interest in him like what the romance movies always show.

"T-Tae.." He whispers close to his ears.

Taehyung was able to catch that, "Yea?"

"M-My hands are cold.. it's too cold back here." Even if it's true it is cold he uses it as an excuse "C-Can I—"

"Hold my hand," Taehyung didn't wait for a reply as he grabs Jungkok's hand, "The movie can't be watched properly when you're cold, right?"

Taehyung must think he's silly. There's no reason why he can't just put his hand in his coat pocket, but he's also happy that he is able to hold Taehyung's hand. Gosh, Jungkook is so stupid.

Suddenly, he feels a vibration in the pocket of his pants. He tries to ignore it, but they are spamming and wouldn't let him rest. Finally, when he decides to check his phone, he sees it's from Namjoon. Fuck. The timing is immaculate.

"I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be right back," He says and receives a nod in response.

" Don't be too long, the best part is coming up ."

Jungkook can see that, but a call from Namjoon is most likely urgent.

He scooches away from those sitting comfortably in their chairs before he manages to get out from the cinema room and swipes the green icon on his cracked phone screen.

"Hello?"

" Where are you right now? There's a mutant that's screaming your name in town and is trashing the whole city!"

Oh God, this is not happening. "I'm in Myeongdong's Cinema. Where are they now? I'm busy but I'll try to make it quick."

" Perfect. He should be nearby."
