A WEEK has passed, after the sudden drunken confession from Jungkook, and the two were back to their status quo, but now with feelings, countless thoughts clouding their mind. Why did I have to confess like that? Jungkook asked himself as he stared off into space, not noticing the papers he was printing-falling to the ground.
"That was the least ideal way to confess. Well, at least, for me." Jungkook mumbled to himself, a sigh leaving his lips as his eyes traveled down to the ground. His eyes widening, once he saw the papers falling on the ground, him immediately kneeling to the floor as he picked it all up.
Meanwhile, Erelah was zoning out, seemingly busy as her hands continued to type... Random letters. She was supposed to compose an update to her boss about their company. But she was, obliviously typing sets of letters that don't make any sense. There was one reason, why she was like this and that's her thoughts.
Did he mean it? Well, people say that when you're drunk you tend to say true things, she thought, her hands stopped moving as she leaned back on her chair, looking up at the ceiling. But Jungkook, isn't the people, he's himself. So, I can't really tell. Erelah thought as she sighed and faced her laptop again, to only see a bunch of letters on her screen, it looked like a kid found her laptop interesting and decided that playing with it was a good idea.
Christina and Taehyung looked at the two of them, disbelief written on their faces. "How many times have I seen them ignoring each other?" Taehyung asked Christina as he rested his head on the palm of his hand, pouting. "I lost count," Christina answered, as she looked at Taehyung shrugging his shoulders. "Seriously, I didn't let go of Jungkook, for them to start acting like this," Christina complained, a frown spreading on her lips as she hid her head behind her arms.
"Exactly, I think they're kinda dumb... When it comes to love━like how can they not sense that they like each other?" Taehyung added as he scooted closer to Christina and hung his arm around her shoulder. "Plus... Jungkook's leaving America, in a few weeks." Christina added as she looked up ahead of her, to only cover her face with her hands.
"Right... I almost forgot about that." Taehyung said as he removed his arm from Christina's shoulder and wrapped it around his chest. "It's Friday today, right?" Taehyung asked Christina, his eyes sparkling in excitement. "Yeah, you look like you have something planned," Christina said, tilting her head to the side, wondering what Taehyung was thinking of.
"Because, I do," Taehyung confirmed, his box smile appearing, making Christina chuckle. "Jungkook! Erelah! Come here." Taehyung called the two, whose heads immediately turned to him upon hearing their name as the both of them walked towards Taehyung and Christina's direction.
And once they were in front of the two, their shoulders slightly touched. Which made the both of them look at each other, their eyes meeting, but it didn't last that long as they immediately looked away. With Erelah being the first one. Taehyung and Christina exchanged glances discreetly as they witnessed this. "So, Jungkook is leaving America in a few weeks right?" Taehyung started as he looked at Jungkook, the guy nodding his head as a response.
"Well, we sorta wanna hang out for the very last time," Taehyung said what was in his mind, while Erelah and Jungkook remained un-fazed. "It doesn't have to fancy, like last time... We want it to be like a sleepover," Christina added as she moved her head from left to right. "Ohhh, so you wanna hang out at my house?" Erelah asked as Taehyung and Christina nodded their heads. While Jungkook looked at Erelah from the side of his eye, curious to see what Erelah would say. "Sure, sounds like a good idea."

ERELAH'S P.O.V
After finishing our work at the company, the four of us immediately left the building. We were supposed to go straight to my house, but Taehyung wanted to take a trip to the supermarket first. Since we were going to watch a movie, and watching a movie is incomplete without food, therefore, we agreed to go with him.
And when we finally reached the supermarket, he didn't waste any more time and gone to the chips section as he started picking up his favorite chips excitedly. The three of us behind him chuckling as we picked up our own chips. Taehyung's inner child, never falters. I thought as a fond smile spread across my lips.
When we finally paid for the snacks we bought. Taehyung, and Jungkook carried the plastic bags that contained the snacks that we picked. While Christina, and I were in front leading the way. Luckily, on our way to our house, there wasn't much traffic on the road. So, we were able to arrive at my place much faster.
I let the three of them get out of the car first. Before I parked my car. "Turn on the T.V, then you guys can choose what movie we'll watch," I said after they got out of the car, the plastic bags in their hands. "Yep, don't worry, we'll pick a good one," Taehyung reassured me as his box smile appeared. Then, the three of them started walking towards the front door of my house. The sound of plastic bags wrinkling, accompanying their footsteps.
After successfully parking the car. I entered my house and saw that they already picked a movie, a horror movie, to be exact. Looks like I will have trouble sleeping today. I thought as I made my way towards them and noticed that there was only one space left for me, beside Jungkook.
I saw Christina turn to look at me as she raised her eyebrows repeatedly. Obviously teasing me, I only chuckled as a response, accepting my fate as I sat down beside Jungkook. But still leaving a safe distance between us. Which was getting harder to maintain as the movie started. I was clearly not a fan of horror movies, so I fought the urge to stay close to Jungkook and hide my face behind his back.
So since I wasn't able to do that, I thought of a different solution... Closing my eyes. Which then led to myself, unknowingly falling asleep, and once I have awoken from my sleep. There I saw the black screen of the T.V. Oh, I fell asleep? I missed half of the movie. Well, I didn't want to keep watching anyway.
My eyes then landed on my coffee table, expecting it to be messy. But I was surprised to see it clean, and tidy. They must have cleaned up? I asked myself. Then my ears heard snoring beside me, therefore, I turned to my side, seeing Taehyung, and Christina leaning on each other's shoulders. I looked at Taehyung who's mouth was open, snores coming out of it. Me trying my best not to laugh.
I then stood up from the couch, starting to head towards my room. But my feet stopped moving as I looked down on the floor. Underneath, all this darkness surrounding the room. A line of light could be seen on the ground. I looked to my left, and saw my front door open. That explains why a line of light can be seen inside the darkroom.
With squinted eyes. I followed the trail of light, opening the door wider as the cold wind from outside brushed past my skin, my hands forming a cross around my chest as my body shivered. "Looks like someone woke up." I heard Jungkook's voice from a distance, and there I saw him, sitting by the grass as he gazed at the stars from above.
I cleared my throat as I remembered that night, catching his attention as he turned to look at me with raised eyebrows. "Yeah, what are you doing here?" I asked him as my eyes traveled from him to the stars above. "Wanted to gaze at the stars, how 'bout you?" He asked as I saw him getting up from the grass, starting to dust off his pants.
"Saw the door open, and I decided to go out," I answered, as he responded with a nod. After that, silence ensued between us as we continued staring at the glittering night sky. But after a few minutes had passed, Jungkook's voice shattered it. "The moon looks beautiful, isn't it?" Jungkook suddenly asked, making me look at him. But when he didn't return my gaze. I looked at the sky again.
"It is..." That was the only thing I managed to say. "You know, I just said... I love you right?" Jungkook suddenly asked me again. It took me a few seconds before I finally processed what he said, my eyes widening slowly. But I decided to laugh it off. "How is that saying I love you?" I asked a bitter smile on my lips.
"I was scrolling through social media one day, and I saw an article about that... It's an informal way Japanese people confess their love." Jungkook explained as I felt his eyes on me, making me fiddle with my fingers due to nervousness, hearing him chuckle. I looked at him, confused about what he found funny... To only see him looking at me with his head tilted to the side and his ever so charming smile on his lips.
"Thanks for the trivia... I guess." I answered and was about to look away from him again, but he stopped me by asking me yet another question. "Do you accept my love Erelah?" He asked, my mind going blank as I looked into his eyes. Does he mean it? Maybe I should stop doubting him... He already confessed twice. I thought as I looked away from him and gazed back at the night sky. Still feeling his gaze on me.
"You're right, the moon looks so beautiful," I said a wide smile spreading across my lips. I did it, I finally- My thoughts were cut off, when a hand held my wrist, turning me around. My eyes widened due to the sudden movement, seeing Jungkook in front of me. I looked at his face as my eyes landed on his lips... Which we're wearing the most lively smile I have ever seen on him and once I looked back at his doe eyes. I saw his face inching closer.
And as if in slow motion... Our lips touched, but to my disappointment, he only gave me a peck as he inched his face slightly farther from mine and when he saw the disappointed look on my face, he chuckled as his hands made their way to my ear, tucking in the hair that was getting in the way. My eyes following his hand in the process, a shy smile painting my lips.
He looked at my face for a few seconds, before his face inched closer again, and our lips met for the second time. But this time it lasted as our lips moved in sync with each other. My hands making it's way to his hair. While his hands pulled me closer to him by the waist. The action making both of us smile in between the kiss.
And that night, under the dark sky... I had my first kiss.
Ok, I suck at scenes like that... Forgive me huhuhuhuhuhu- I haven't really experienced anything that romantic in my life so... HAHAHAHA
Anyway, I hope you guys liked this update! What are your thoughts?
