Taehyung whispered something so quietly I wasn't even sure I was supposed to hear. But I'm glad I did.
"Because Eunha's not the one I'm in love with, you idiot."
Taehyung

(not proof read bc i have nO time)
Never in my life had I had a crush on someone, especially a friend, without everything going to shit. I suppose people just couldn't love me. So to say I was surprised with everything that happened during the following minutes would be an understatement.
I could feel a soft, warm hand slowly approach my trembling one, a thumb stroking the back of it calmly. My heartbeat didn't calm down at all though, more like the opposite, and it made me want to cry even more. I hated this whole situation. I hated it, I hated it, I hated it.
"Tae, please stop crying."
"I think you should go, Kookie."
"I heard what you said, hyung. I'm not leaving."
Shit.
"You probably find me creepy now, sorry..." I whispered, my voice quavering. "And I know I've got no chance with you, so let's pretend this never happened, please? I never got my hopes up anyways, I'm so different and I don't fit in and I'm not so good looking and even though I have friends I always feel like they could do so much better and...and...why would someone even like me? I'm so annoying and..."
Jungkook's hand left mine, travelling up my arm towards my back where he rubbed comforting circles. This time I didn't stop him.
"Don't apologize."
Jungkook shuffled even closer.
"Tae, look at me."
I looked at him.
"I don't find you creepy."
More tears formed in my eyes.
"Wanna know how I find you?"
He reached out a thumb to dry them.
"I find you absolutely incredible, there's no one else like you."
His other thumb caressed my cheek.
"And, as a wise man told me once when I was upset with my drawing, isn't it more fun to be unique and original?"
Jungkook turned around and sat on his knees so that we were still sitting next to each other but face to face.
I giggled a little through the tears. "I said that, didn't I?"
My breathing got heavier, heart beating faster.
"Yeah, you did."
Jungkook grinned, the moon's reflection sparkling in his eyes.
"And for the record, Taehyung, you're not annoying, you are good looking, and no one in this drama club could find a better friend even if they wanted to."
Without realizing what I was doing, I moved my hand from the sand to Jungkook's back, pulling him closer.
"I don't agree with you, but thanks, Kookie."
The hand that had been resting on my cheek slid down to my jaw, grabbing it gently.
"A-and hyung..."
Jungkook's face was now so close I could hear that his breath was shaking as well.
"Please don't think that no one would like you. It's not one bit true."
He closed his eyes, so I did too, and Jungkook leaned in just far enough for my lips to reach his, letting me close the gap.
I was one second too late.
"There you guys are!" Jimin yelled, walking out of the woods next to the beach. You've got to be kidding me! I mentally screamed. Jungkook reluctantly backed away from me as our friend came jogging towards us.
"What's taking you guys so long? We've been waiting for you! We didn't want to start the party without you!"
"We're 22 people," I had never been more annoyed. "How did you even notice that we weren't there?"
"You know Jin-hyung, he notices the lack of people's presense! Now come on, we're grilling and swimming." Jimin grabbed Jungkook with one muscular arm and me with the other, pulling us up. "This is going to be just like last week but this time we actually brought some real food to grill! Fun, right?"
"Sounds marvelous." Jungkook's voice was drooping with sarcasm, but the innocent boy that was currently dragging us along with him didn't seem to notice, he just kept on ranting.
I glanced up at Jungkook who's eyes met mine. My annoyance went away as quickly as it came; Jungkook liked me back.
He seemed to be thinking the same thing because when we saw each other he smiled. A small smile that grew into a wide grin, that grew into a chuckle, which quickly escalated to the both of us giggling.
"I know right? So I was like..." Jimin thought we were laughing at him. Oh how he would freak out if he knew the real reason.
Jungkook

"You seem happy!" A bunch of girls—Joohyun, Seulgi, Seungwan, Sooyoung and Yerim—had dragged me over to where the five of them sat in a circle, enjoying their grilled sandwiches.
"I am!" I leaned in to grab another piece of bread which we had balanced on top of a rock. All I really wanted right now was to be with Taehyung, but he was hanging out with Hoseok and Eunbi who had brutally pulled him away from me to practise their song (the three of them played kitchen staff in the play).
"Great," Joohyun smiled. "You've been kind of distant lately!"
Yerim, the maknae, was stuffing her mouth with bread. "You abd Eunha aje doin gleat in the play, by the way!" she spoke with a mouth full of food. She swallowed everything with a loud gulp and continiued as normal. "Yah! Eunha-unnie, get over here!"
"Hey guys!" Jung Eunha came jogging over, sitting down next to me.
"Can you sing the ending song together? I was sick when you practised so I haven't heard it yet!" Yerim asked.
"Oh, they're amazing!" Seungwan exclaimed. "You should've been there!"
"That's why I'm asking them to sing it, idiot."
"What's that about respecting your elders, young lady?" Seulgi joked, making Sooyoung burst out laughing since she wasn't exactly the most respectful dongsaeng either.
Yerim pretended not to hear as she begged Eunha and me.
"I don't know..." I glanced over at Taehyung, who happened to be glancing right back at me, meeting my gaze from about 20 metres away.
"Come on, we need to practise anyways!" Eunha nudged me lightly and I gave in.
But I didn't even get to finish the first chorus before I felt a strong hand grab onto my arm, dragging me away quickly. When we were far enough away from the others Taehyung's eyes met mine for a second, before they closed and our lips met.
