8:00pm

APoV

Walking into Jimins house felt normal to Jungkook. But Y/n on the other hand was nervously sweating through her pumpkin costume.

Heads flicked towards her. After all she was legit the only girl dressed as a vegetable. A large, bright orange vegetable.

"Come on I know somewhere we can sit." Jungkook takes the girl by the hand, leading her to a small couch area where only a few people were sitting.

As Y/n sits down, her pumpkin costume rises above her face. "Wait I can't see a thing."

"Hang on." Jungkook chuckles before tucking the fabric beneath her chin. The two then sit in silence for a moment, just watching everyone else enjoying the party whilst getting drunk.

"Maybe we should drink something too?" Y/n suggests.

"You drink?"

"Not really, but I kinda want to right now."

"Alright. I'll be back in a sec yeah?" The boy says before getting up. And it's then that Y/n regrets the idea for it had now left her sitting alone. People kept glancing at her, laughing to one another over her costume and it made her feel so awkward.

As Jungkook pours him and Y/n a drink, he's interrupted by his friends.

"Eyyy kookster you came!" Jin throws an arm around the boy. "Lemme guess. You're a sad emo?"

"Correct."

"Where's Y/n?" Taehyung asks whilst hopping to sit on the kitchen top.

"Sat near the gaming corner where Jins PS5 is."

"Wait is that her??" Yoongi points, and all 7 males look towards the pumpkin in the corner.

"Yeah...she's a little embarrassed about her costume so don't be dicks guys."

"Eyyy is someone starting to care about his little friend?" Jimin smirks.

Saying nothing Jungkook takes a swig from his cup before changing the subject. "Do you guys wanna come meet her?"

"Sure but maybe only a few of us should go over since—." Covering Jins mouth, Jimin steps forward. "And that someone should be Tae and I considering we're Jungkooks best friends."

"You're all my best friends."

"Yeah yeah keep lying." Jimin smirks before walking ahead.

Y/n PoV

I smile just as Jungkook sits beside me, Jimin and another guy taking a seat on the couch opposite.

"Nice costume." Jimin smiles before handing me a drink.

"Aww thank you."

"You're the only girl to ever actually dress up for halloween. It's normally a Victoria secret show most of the time. Not that I'm complaining but still."

"I actually prefer the pumpkin look." Taehyung adds.

"She made it herself." Jungkook adds, and both older males eyes widen.

"Shit you're defo making my next halloween costume! In fact Rick it I'll be a pumpkin too."

"Okay deal" Y/n says before accepting the fist bump from Jimin.

As the night progresses, she got to talking to each of Jungkooks friends, and if she had to pick a favourite, it would be Jimin. He seemed the most real and honest, just said whatever was on his mind which is something she'd always admired in people.

Y/n PoV

New message from Jk97

Jk97:
Hey where are you?

Princesspeaches&cream🍑:
Still queuing for the bathroom

Jk97:
Ok
I'm thinking of heading home soon

Princesspeaches&cream🍑:
Okay I won't be long💓💓💓

Jk97:
I'll wait downstairs for you

Once in the bathroom, Y/n attempts to lift her pumpkin costume above her waist, but the material just kept springing back down.

Left with no other choice, she lifts the thing over her head and places it aside. All was going so well until she heard the door handle rattling.

"Erm someones already in here." She calls, and before she could even put her costume back on the door begins to open.

10 minutes later

Princesspeaches&cream🍑:
I need help

Jk97:
Why what's wrong?

Princesspeaches&cream🍑:
Well I had to take my costume off to pee but then someone barged in so I hid behind the shower curtain

Princesspeaches&cream🍑:
But now my costume is gone and I have nothing to cover my boobies🥺

Jk97:
Oh shit
Okay I'll be there in a minute

Jungkook PoV

When I enter the bathroom I'm confused to see it's empty. "Y/n?" I push the shower curtain aside only to find the girl sat hugging her chest. She looks up at me like a sad little puppy. "You came."

"Course I did." I say and help her to get out of the tub. I then remove my denim jacket and pull it around her, myself trying to not get too distracted by her tits which look so good right now. "This should keep you covered till we get to the car. You ready?"

She nods and follows me out of the bathroom. I let her walk down the stairs first, and it's then that I realise the jacket doesn't even cover her arse cheeks. Not gonna lie it looks really sexy especially with her black stockings creeping up her thighs, but now is not the time for me to pop a boner.

"Hey are you guys going alrea-woahhh." Jimin holts when noticing Y/n. "Damn girl you sure know how to party."

"I-."

"I'm gonna take her home Chim." I interrupt, and when I see my Hyung smirk I already know what he's assuming.

"Enjoy the sex then—."

"Yeah bye." I usher Y/n towards the door. Honestly this girl not only managed to show up to a house party as a pumpkin, but leave half naked too.

APoV

Sat at his desk, Jungkook continues to type out his History essay on his computer. Yup. Instead of partying like his friends, the boy chose to end his night with homework :)

"God I needed that pee."

And hanging with Y/n :)

The girl enters the bedroom with Jungkook jacket still keeping her covered.

"Glad you feel better. Now are you ready to go home?"

"What??"

Chuckling Jungkook turns in his chair. "Relax I'm kidding, you can stay the night."

Now smiling, Y/n races over to sit on the boys lap causing him to groan. But he didn't tell her to get off. He liked seeing her happy for some reason and staying with him seemed to make her very, VERY happy.

"Thank you for saving me with your jacket a second time." She says.

"You're welcome."

"You're so kind to me."

"Well you're my friend now Y/n. And I'm sorry for not saying this before, but I do care about you. Tonight proved that I do."

"I care about you too." She says, about to lean in for a kiss when the bedroom door knocks.

"Jungkook you in there?"

"Shit that's my dad." The boy panics. Quickly,
Y/n scrambles to get off his lap, about to head to hide under the bed before Jungkook tugs her back. "My cd's are under there now so there's no room. You'll have to go in my wardrobe."

"I can't I'm claustrophobic—."

"It won't be for long." The boy says, and before the girl could protest any further she found herself now sitting inside Jungkooks wardrobe earwigging on him and his fathers conversation.

2 minutes later

Jungkook PoV

I keep glancing at my wardrobe doors whilst my dad continues to talk. If he knows I have a girl in here he'll freak, like actually confiscate everything I love from my phone to my computer before lecturing me on teen pregnancy's and early marriage.

"Did you enjoy the party then?" He asks.

"Yeah it was alright. A little loud for my liking—."

"You didn't drink did you? You know how irresponsible drink driving is don't you?"

"I had one drink but I didn't even finish it—."

"You also took Soobins lunch money today by the way. The one that was left on the kitchen counter."

My brows furrow at that accusation. "I didn't. Mom said that money was for me—."

"You're almost 18 Jungkook you don't get lunch money anymore. You want food at school then get a job and pay for it yourself."

"..okay. Understood."

"Good." The man places the glass of water down on my desk for me. "Remember not to stay up too late tonight, we have your brothers football game tomorrow."

"Okay. Night."

"Night."

I wait until the man leaves before hurrying to my wardrobe. When I open the doors, I'm concerned to find Y/n with her hands clutched either side of her head muttering a repeated countdown from 10.

"Y/n you can come out now he's gone."

She doesn't respond until my hand touches hers, her eyes shooting open to look straight at me.

"Are you alright? I'm sorry I didn't realise it bothered you this much."

She accepts my hand as I help her out. I actually feel really guilty now.

"Why don't we watch a movie on my laptop? You can pick if you want? I have Netflix."

When she nods I go to my wardrobe and grab her a shirt which she changes into. Gotta admit, she looks really cute in my clothes, plus the combination of an oversized shirt and knee high stockings is really working for me right now.

I change into some sweats and get into the bed with her. Sliding the laptop towards her so she can pick a movie. As she scrolls through my Netflix page, I continue to steal glances at her. I don't know why but I'm always drawn to look at Y/n when she's doing the bare minimum. There's just something about her face.

It's actually...kind of...

Beautiful.

"Chosen." She says before placing the laptop between us. Of course she'd choose a rom com.

She gathers the duvet up to her chest before snuggling up against my chest. It feels strange but a good kind of strange. Last time she stayed over I was on the floor. Now we're practically spooning.

I know it's taken a while. But to me things feel like they've changed super quick and it's confusing me. I'm attracted to Y/n. And she's my friend. But whether I want something more is still unsure to me.

I mean if we dated, I'd always feel bad for not being at the same stage as her. She's already confessed the L word, and I'm just not there yet.

Plus things have started to become good between us. We get along surprisingly well as friends and for once I have someone who I can relate to on a new level, someone I can share my shit to and know they're going through the same thing. And I don't wanna lose that through complications of dating.

But when we have moments like this, it throws all of that worry out of the window.

"Thank you for coming to the party with me tonight."

"That's okay. I'd do it again if you asked."

"Wait seriously? You literally had the worst time."

She shakes her head. "No I didn't. I got to meet all your friends and spend time with you."

"Well don't worry. I won't be going to anymore of Jins house parties for a long time. My socially awkward arse can't take it."

I feel her chuckle against me.

Damn.

Why do I feel so calm right now? Normally at this time of night I'd take my medication, especially after one of my regular chats with dad.

But I haven't even thought about the pills.

I'm calm.

Y/n PoV

Shock hits me when I feel Jungkooks arms wrap around me, his cheek now resting against my head. Oh my god I could actually cry right now he has no idea how much I love being around him. How happy and at ease he makes me feel.

A part of me wishes school didn't exist. That there was no tomorrow so we could simply stay like this forever.
