Rian POV
As Jungkook grips my wrist, I stare at him in shock. I never thought that a handsome pop star, admired by a million of other girls, would ever grab my hand and run away from security guards like they do in the movies- as I run behind him, wearing a girly dress which I didn't even pay for.
This is totally out of the imaginary.
I look behind my shoulder and search for anyone following us. Thank goodness that I don't see any fat looking men with a black uniform and badge. I let out a deep sigh as I tug my arm which Jungkook is holding. He must've understood what I meant because after taking a sharp turn, he let go of me and starting gasping for breath. I, too, lay back on the brick wall as I find it trouble to breath.
"Are you-" Jungkook breaths a little, "-Okay?"
I nod as I force my face from looking shocked. It seems as if Jungkook's English gotten better. I don't hear his Korean accent as much as I did the other day when I talked to him.
I watch him as he takes off his scarf and hat, and lays back against the brick wall next to me. He takes of his sunglasses, and closes his eyes as he slowly makes recovery. I swallow as I tuck strands of hair behind me ear.
"Komawo..." I mutter, clearing my throat. It seems as if it is my 100th time I thanked him!
At the corner of my eyes, I see Jungkook smiling warmly at me. He nods as he looks around the scenery. I look up, and realize that we are in a park. There is a lake near us, and beautiful trees with flowers are all over the place. I can see a few stores in the distance, and there are many couples and families having picnics on the grass.
"Do you..." Jungkook breaks the silence, "Want to go somewhere?"
I stare at him in shock. Jungkook, who is biting his lip, scratches his hair nervously. Did the Jungkook asked me out on a date? No, impossible. He just asked me if I want to go somewhere, so it doesn't necessarily means he wants to go out. Maybe he just wants to do something fun.
Swallowing, I answer with a scratchy voice, "Uh- sure"
Jungkook's eyes lit up, and he smiles. "Where do you want to go?" He asks, and I look down at my pink shoes as a small smile creeks up.
~An hour later~
"Ha, you're losing!" I laugh as I turn the wheel furiously, staring at the screen. Right now, Jungkook and I are at the arcade, playing a racing game. And so far, I am winning big time.
"No!" Jungkook gasps under his breath when the game his done. He spins around to face me, "How do you do that?" He asks in awe.
"I got skills" I laugh. He shakes his head, grinning. I laugh as I stand up, searching for a new game that we could both play. I widen my eyes when I see an awesome looking game at the corner. I point to it, and jump.
"Let's play that!" I run to the machine and turn it on. Jungkook follows me, with hands in his pockets, and stares at the game.
"A shooting game?" He asks, his eyebrows raised. I nod, grinning. I turn on the game and pick up the machine gun, holding it directly at the screen. "Hurry up, 'Pretty Boy', or you'll die before the game even starts"
"Pretty Boy?" Jungkook asks with his eyebrows raised, picking up the other gun and points it at the screen. I widen my eyes, hating myself for saying that. It just came out of my mouth!
"Uh- it's your new nickname" I mumble, but quickly say, "Oh look- the game is starting!"

Jungkook POV
I couldn't help but chuckle when Rian called me "Pretty Boy". I'm not so sure if it is an insult- referring to her tone, or if it was a compliment, but either way, it made my mood brighter.
As I play the shooting game which Rian desperately wanted to play, I couldn't help but to give her glances along the way. It's so funny to see her in such a girly outfit, holding a huge machine gun at the same time. But despite her not- so- feminine attitude, she really did look pretty. As perverted as it sounds, it's hard to not stare at her wavy hair, and -clears throat- her legs.
Oh my gosh- what is wrong with me?
"Yah, Jungkook!" Rian shouts, waking me back to reality. I shoot my eyes back at the screen, only to see the words You Lose. I look at Rian, who looks mad.
"Why didn't you back me up? The stupid alien monsters killed me! Aish seriously!" Rian mutters, putting down her gun.
"Oh- sorry" I mutter, putting down my gun as well. Suddenly, I hear a loud growl coming from Rian's stomach. I chuckle as I see her griping her stomach and her cheeks turning red.
"Hungry?" I ask, smiling.
~An hour later~
"Mm, you can never find pizza this good around this area!" Rian mumbles as she chews on her cheesy pizza. I take a bite and immediately fell in heaven when the cheese melted on my tongue. I nod in approval as I take another bite.
"Do you want to go anywhere else?" I mutter, sipping on my coke. A few weeks ago, I started taking English classes to learn how to talk with Rian better. It helped a lot, but sometimes I have to pause for a while to get my mind to think on what to say.
I stare at Rian who looked up at the ceiling, thinking. I smile as I watch her tapping a finger on her chin, and crossing her eyebrows as she thinks. Her eyes sparkled as she brainstormed, causing me to drown in them.
She's cute.
"Oh!" Rian suddenly shouts, pointing a finger up. "I know! Let's go back to the mall! I never really got the chance to just hang out, since I hardly ever go there"
I shrug, grinning ear to ear. "Sure, let's do it. It'll be fun" I take a last sip from my coke, and stand up. "I'll go pay for the food. You can clean up" I smile as I wave, walking to the cash register. She smiles back, and stands up to freshen up.

Rian POV
This day is going out so well. I never thought that I will actually have this much fun with Jungkook. I pick up the tray with all the napkins, and walk to the trashcan. As I throw it away, I turn around, but accidentally bump into someone.
I look up and see a pretty girl. She looks around her late twenties, but anyone can mistake her as a young college student. Her long curly hair looks beautiful as it bounced on her shoulders, and her eyes twinkled under the light.
"Oh- sorry" She apologizes. I shake my head, telling her that it's fine. I walk past her, and back to the table where Jungkook just arrived. As I walk, I look behind my shoulder to see the girl, who is walking away. I shrug, and walk to Jungkook.
"Ready?" He asks, smiling. I nod, smiling back.
~Two hours later~
"Woah, look at that!" I point at the huge poster hanging on the ceiling of the mall. It is colorful, and full of Christmas lights. Jungkook looks and smiles. Who knew the mall could be so beautiful?
"Oh, look at that" Jungkook points at something nearby. I look to see where he is pointing, and find a toy crane machine at the corner of the mall. I widen my eyes and rush towards it.
"Omo- I never played this before in my life!" I gasp as I stare in awe at the controls buttons. Jungkook, who is behind me, just smirks.
"To me, it sounds as if you never had a childhood" Jungkook laughs. I glare at him, but take out a few coins from my bag to play it. I slip the coins in, and watch as the game turns on. I turn the knob, and push the button to get the toy. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
"This is broken" I mutter, crossing my arms.
"Let me try" Jungkook puts coins in, and the machine turns on. He snatches the same toy which I wanted, and to my surprise, it worked.
"Woah- how did you do that?" I ask in awe as he grabs the toy.
"I got skills" He laughs, and I laugh with him. He smiles and gives me the toy.
"You can have it. Back at my old dorm, we have a lot of action figures and mario toys. I don't need anymore right now" He shrugs, handing the small cute panda key chain to me. I widen my eyes and smile.
"Thanks!" I stare at the cute panda. It was adorable, and I can't wait to go back to my room to hang it in my desk. Smiling, I hang it on my bag to keep it safe.
"Oh, it's late- I think we should go back to school now" Jungkook looks at his watch. I nod, and I suddenly feel tired. After all, It's been a long day.

Jungkook POV
I stare at the changing scenery of the window on the bus. Rian, who is next to me, has her head on my shoulder, and is snoring like a big bear. I chuckle at her cuteness, but my smile soon turns down.
My number one rule ever since I debuted, was to stay away from girls. Every time I go to concerts, I try to keep my distance away from the pretty girl idols, and I do my best to concentrate on the routines. And to think that I fell for a girl like Rian? I sigh as I look back at the window.
Rian is definitely not like any other girls. Sure, she isn't hot, has a unique attitude, and is not really feminine. I have no idea whatsoever why my heart keeps on racing whenever I'm near her. Maybe I'm just going nuts? Yes, that has to be it.
I just hope this little "crush" thing doesn't stick too long, because I still have a band to concentrate on. I hope I stop feeling "tingly" whenever Rian's around, because if I don't, there will be scandals all over the place.
But- can I even stop thinking about her?
