It was Music class, and you and Joy were sitting on the school grounds with a few other children, bunking your class. No one seemed to care–not even the teachers–since no one even came to find you guys, so you were beyond glad. However, Jungkook had Physics so he couldn't join you guys.

"How about we play Truth or Dare?" Joy suggested, waiting for everyone else's response. Everyone nodded excitedly and approved of the idea. 

"Free periods are incomplete without Truth or Dare," Hae-rin said, to which everyone nodded. "Anyway, who goes first?"

"Let's let this bottle decide," you said and put forward your bottle in the center of your group. Joy spun the bottle and it happened to land on Jimin.

"Truth."

Her lips curled up to a mischievous smirk. "Did you ever want to kiss someone but didn't?"

Jimin fake coughed, fascinated at how quickly she told the truth for him to confess. "For how long were you planning this?"

Joy shrugged her shoulders to which everyone laughed.

"Tick-tick one!" Ha-yun began the countdown.

"Come on, it's not even that hard!"

"Tick tick two!" Sunghoon said.

"Yes," Jimin reluctantly uttered. Everyone 'wow'-ed.

"Who exactly?" Joy asked.

"That's not in the rules," Jimin quickly retorted to which everyone agreed. However, everyone seemed to have ignored Joy's curiosity on the subject...

Except for you.

You eyed her closely while she looked at Jimin, amused, and you immediately got an idea of what was going on between them or more specifically–what she felt about him.

You smiled at her teasingly, which she noticed but decided to show as if she didn't.

The bottle spun once again, and it happened to land pointing towards you.

"Dare," you replied carelessly. Joy turned back around to look at you and smirked.

"It's sort of personal, so can I...?"

"Yeah, sure," Hae-rin said. Joy signalled you to come with her and you hesitantly followed her to a tree that was about twenty meters away from everyone.

"I dare you to ignore Jungkook for a week."

Your eyes widen and you begin to shake your head in disapproval. "No, I can't do that, Joy!"

"Why not? Well, if you insist, let's decrease seven days a week by four. That makes it three days. I can't decrease it any more than that," Joy said like a local shopkeeper refusing to decrease the price by even a single penny after giving a discount of 40 percent. You sighed.

"Okay," you agreed. You both walked back towards the group. Everyone signalled her, insisting her to tell the dare but Joy shook her head and said, "I'll make sure that she does it."

Everyone sighed.

Let's meet at the
park near your house,
okay?

seen

You huffed in defeat, unable to resist the urge to see him yet again.

You left his message as it is instead of replying and turned off your cell phone.

Since he mentioned the park near your house, you'd pass by the park. You couldn't bear seeing his face so you plugged in your earphone and put on some music.

While walking, your head seemed how have turned on its own to see whether Jungkook was there or not, and unfortunately, you saw him and he saw you, too.

He smiled at you and waved, but you immediately looked ahead, cursing yourself for what you'd just done.

You've seen him and he's seen you too. What the fuck are you doing, Y/n?!

While you fastened your pace to reach home as fast as possible, Jungkook's mind paced over thinking why you'd see him but still leave him like that. He felt overly embarrassed, in fact, despite being alone. He hid his face and took his phone out of his pocket to text you.

On the other hand, your phone is dinged with another message. You resisted the urge to look at the message but in vain. You took your phone out and read from the notification.

Is something wrong?

His beaming face flashed in your mind once again.

"I can't do this!" you whined.
