TWENTY FOURTH CHAPTER

"tomorrow could be the someday you've been waiting for."

//

the amusement park is filled with people, mainly children.

it was clearly a place of diversion, laughter and thrill for people. Sahar isn't a big fan of rides but she wouldn't mind going on a few- as long as they don't turn her upside down.

but today wasn't a day for rides. she's here to find Jungkook.

Jin told her some valuable information- the young singer works here. he operates a few rides, working full time to make money.

Sahar was slowly regretting bringing her best friend Taehyung. his blue hair bounced every time he dragged her into the queue of a ride.

he's incredibly excited. there's delight in his copper eyes and Sahar can't say anything because there's the possibility of Jungkook working on one of the rides they decide to ride on.

an hour passes. no sign of Jungkook.

Sahar is frustrated.

"do you want a couples picture together-" a man with a camera approaches her. Taehyung runs past him, knocking into his side- obliviously woozy.

"no... we're good thanks." Sahar sighs.

she watches Taehyung jump in excitement as he rushes to the rides.

"he's my kid." Sahar walks off.

she follows Taehyung- eyes looking around, in case she sees a silver haired, chocolate eyed, well-known individual. the amusement park is gigantic. where on earth could he be?

Taehyung gets the hint. "are you looking for someone?"

Sahar isn't paying attention because her eyes fall on him.

Jungkook!

"oh my god, are you serious?"

Taehyung's voice sounds in her ear. she snaps out of her alluring trance of Jungkook and looks at Taehyung who's gaping at her.

"what?" she questions.

Taehyung looks at Jungkook directly before looking back at her. "you're really into him huh?" he asks- surprised by her quaint taste.

Taehyung eats his sweet flavoured popcorn as he waits for Sahar to reply. he already knows the answer but finds it all so entertaining.

"too bad because so am i." blue haired Taehyung munches with a smile that turns into a smirk.

Sahar does a double take. she isn't focusing on Jungkook anymore. all she feels is irritation towards Taehyung who is now a potential obstacle in her mission. "Taehyung, listen to me." she places her hands on his wide shoulders, eye contact intense. "we are not having a rivalry over him okay?"

"why not? i can't just let you have such a fine ass-"

"listen!" Sahar shakes the boys shoulders. "in another life, you can have him-" you fucking wish...

"yeah right." Taehyung scoffs, golden kennel popcorn in his mouth. "but i want him in this life." his sentence ends up as a childish whine, looking back at the boy they're both enticed by- damn you Kook.

"and so do i. don't argue with me." Sahar warns. she's losing her patience, not just with Taehyung. her effort to win Jungkook over is draining.

Taehyung walks away. he leaves to stand in the ride queue.

the ride Jungkook's operating.

"stop pulling a tantrum." Sahar pokes his side, joining his side.

"come here." Taehyung hugs her and pulls her into his cozy side.

"i Kim Taehyung grant you permission to woohoo-"

"it's not like that!" Sahar pushes him but he's too strong.

"damn, what are you looking for then?" Taehyung questions. he eats more popcorn, eyes filled with interest as he waits for an answer. he sees how different him and Sahar are- it makes him wonder if it's good or bad.

"i'm not interested in just sex you idiot."

"oh! it's serious i see." Taehyung blurts out dramatically- bangs falling into his eyes as he squints. Sahar pushes them away so he can see. "why's it so serious?" he's serious now.

"what is it about the mysterious singer that you want so much?" Taehyung's question floats in the air and it sticks with Sahar intensely.

i want everything.

"oh my god!" Sahar spots glorious Jungkook again- forgetting that she found him and how she needs to get to him. her mission of course!

so her and Taehyung wait in the ride queue, ready to be escorted. the cause of the agitated butterflies in her stomach is uncertain- she's not sure if it's Jungkook or the actual ride.

eventually, the best friends make it to the front of the queue. Sahar's hands are shaking in nervousness as she sees Jungkook open the barrier, letting them into their seats.

Sahar doesn't even have to say anything. she was planning on saying a simple hello, how are you? but- "have we met before?" Jungkook seeks quietly when he gestures her and Taehyung to their seats. it's right at the front of the ride. is it a rollercoaster?- Sahar can't tell. she's distracted.

"did we meet the night before?" Jungkook adds another question.

he unconsciously rolls up his sleeves and reveals his arms. Sahar almost chokes at what she sees. there's tattoos decorated along his melanin skin, lauding veins popping out as the ink holds meaning and extreme magnetism. tattoos? everyone is swooning.

"yes." Sahar nods. how does he remember her? she's surprised.

"enjoy the ride." Jungkook can't help the smirk that falls upon his lips when he fastens Sahar's seatbelt. Sahar's stomach puddles with emotion at the sight of his cherry-red lips, bronze, cheeky eyes and dark, inked tattoos. he fastens her a bit too tight but off the ride goes, leaving Jungkook.

damn right i will- Sahar thinks. she's thinking of an entirely different ride after all. but when she looks down, she's wondering why the fuck she's on a damn rollercoaster.

Taehyung and Sahar scream.

Sahar needs to take things further.

that's why she approaches lonely Jungkook. it seems like he's on his lunch break. the boy stands alone, leaning onto a wooden fence- watching the view from a high distance. he's oblivious to the kids and teenagers around him. he's merely a money worker.

Jungkook plays with an elastic band on his bony wrist, eyes concentrated forward- trees, hoar skies in sight. he flicks the object repeatedly and his skin turns scarlet. Sahar notices tattoos peeking under the sleeves of his polo shirt and she bites her lip.

hey- leaves Sahar's lips as she walks into his sight, standing beside him. she didn't want to startle him. Jungkook is a man who needs care after all. she misses him knowing her.

"hi." Jungkook greets her back and stops playing with the elastic band. he isn't startled or staggered by her presence. he remembers her. "you're the girl who pulled your friend away right? the one who spilt his drink over my friend." he asks for confirmation. last night feels like it was weeks ago...

"yes that's exactly it." Sahar keeps her distance physically. she doesn't want to scare the stranger off by standing too close so she leans her arms on the wooden fence too, focusing on the verdure nature that circles the amusement park.

"what a coincidence that we met today." Jungkook chuckles.

"yeah, what a coincidence." Sahar repeats.

"i'm Jungkook." the male offers his hand with a civil smile. it's one that is reluctant to let her in but will regardless- it's daring and stirring.

"i'm Sahar." Sahar shakes his hand.

a silence falls and Sahar is eager to start what needs to be done.

"i'm going to be honest with you Jungkook." Sahar establishes. she turns her body towards him, watching him do the same- broad chest in an amber shirt and skinny jeans, silver hair styled into a quiff. "i watched you perform last night and i fell in love. i am in amazement by what you do and what you are. i was wondering if you'd like to go out for a drink with me? anything, coffee, tea-" she baffles quickly and regrets it.

"you saw me sing?" Jungkook seems surprised. a strand of his silver hair falls into his face- he doesn't make any attempt to move it, brown eyes focused entirely on Sahar.

"yes and it was magnificent." Sahar breathes out. it was. "the way you move and sing, your voice-"

"i have a fangirl?" Jungkook raises his brows, amused. he seems relieved that someone admired his performance, his voice, his talent and not just his appearance.

"so what do you say to going on a date with this fangirl?" oh girl, this confidence is a new look on you!- nervous Sahar thinks to herself. things have got to be done.

"i'd love to."

Sahar wants to scream. fuck yes! "thanks-"

"ah there's something in your hair." tattooed, amazed Jungkook leans forward, strong hand suddenly in Sahar's hair- reaching closer, strand of hair running through his fingertips. she's startled. he's so close. he smells so good. he has silver hair.

"oh what was it?" Sahar blushes.

"nothing." and Jungkook leans in, about to kiss Sahar senseless...
