Jungkook's POV

"Crap." I breathed out, white puffs of air coming out of my mouth due to the cold.

I felt a sudden surge of anxiety and started to regret my life choices. But I decided to go anyways. I slung my bag on my shoulder and checked the address she'd sent me.

And in no time, I was already in front of her house. It's too late to turn back now, Jungkook. Come on, you got this. I hesitantly pressed the door bell and the door opened almost immediately revealing a very happy Areum.

"Hey," I said as I wore a vibrant smile to hide my nervousness.

"Hi Bun!" she beamed as she grabbed my arm and pulled me inside.

"Jungkookie!" Hyejin yelled as she came running towards me and pinched my cheeks.

"You shrew! I'm so glad you agreed to come." she continued making me smile widely.

That smile soon dropped as I saw Noona's parents entering the living room and acknowledging my existence.

"Oh, is this the boy you both were telling us about? I must say, he is very good-looking, good job girls!" Her dad said, winking at them and then looking back at me.

"Well hi honey, you're name is? I'm sorry my memory's not really that good." Her mom said, providing me a warm welcoming hug.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Lee. I'm Jeon Jungkook." I replied.

Her mom frowned at me suspiciously and kept muttering my name.

"Yes Mrs.?" I asked, wondering if she wanted to ask something.

"Oh, nevermind dear. I just felt as if I've heard this name before. Don't worry it might be because of Areum. She talks a lot about you, haha." She said and there went my blood cold.

Uneasiness drifted through me but I looked at her with a small smile and nodded. I kept my bag on the couch and went over to the wash basin and washed my hands and face.

"Is something wrong?" Noona asked me worriedly as she placed her palm on my shoulder.

"No no. It's just that this is my first time here and I wanted to make a good impression." I said softly and she nodded showing empathy.

"You're doing great, don't worry." She said as she patted my shoulder once and walked away.

Areum's POV

I'd sensed his twitchiness from the moment he got here. During dinner, this boy didn't even dare to look up or talk no matter how much we tried. What's with him?

I took out the ice cream cups from the freezer and smiled after realising that it was one of my favourite flavours. I took 2 of them with a spoon for each and went to my parents room and handed it to them.

Then I grabbed all the rest and went over to Jungkook and Hyejin who were sitting on the couch and staring at TV which had some random reality show on it. Gosh the dramas in such reality shows are damn entertaining.

"Here y'all go~" I sang as I gave them icecreams and placed the remaining ones on the sofa table. I plopped myself next to Jungkook and peeled the cover off the cup. I stared at the light brownish goodness in my hands and started devouring it. Then I lovingly looked at the 2 dumbasses sitting next to me. I just loved them so much. Seeing them giggling made me very happy.

Hyejin and I were friends since we were 2 years old, our dads were colleagues. And we never left each others side and went through thick and thin together. She helped me with studies, sports and even dates. I'm really grateful of having her as my bestfriend.

And Jungkook. He got transferred to our school 2 years ago and since then, he started hanging out with us as we went along really well. I love him dearly and want to protect him no matter what. He is a sensitive and caring soul. But the thing is, I don't know anything about him except for his name. I don't know where he lives, about his family, background. Nothing. And I did ask him, but he refused to tell. So I let him take his time but he never told and I didn't force him either.

Soon we finished all the icecream and Hyejin jumped from the sofa, threw all the empty cups in the trash bin and exclaimed,

"Yo, let's set up the bedding and stuff."

Jungkook nodded eagerly and we got up from our seats to go get the mattress, pillows and blankets.

So we decided to spend the night in the my bedroom. My bed was large enough to fit 2 people on it. We placed a mattress on the floor next to the bed, for Jungkook as he said he'll be more comfortable on the floor.

We talked about random stuffs and played with our phones till like 2:30 am when I got up to get ourself a bottle of water. Then I returned to see that Hyejin had already gotten her head down but Jungkook was still wide awake.

A cold wave of air entered from the window causing both of us to shudder. I walked over to it and peeked out to see the unlit street which glimmered due to the moonlight. The murky sky had millions of stars sprawled across it. The sight was peaceful and relaxing but the cold breeze made me shudder again. I closed the window and turned around to see Jungkook staring at me.

I sat on the bed as I drank the water. He opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out so he shut it again. Sighing softly, I rolled off the bed and plopped myself next to him. I placed my head on his lap and he started playing with my hair.

"Wanna talk?" I asked and it came out as a whisper.

"I- wha- No. Why?"

"Jungkook, You and I both know that something is up. You've been really nervous and quiet the whole time. I know you want to talk about it but you're just not ready. It's hard to open up, no doubt, and we have a lot to talk about. I'll wait until you're ready. And whenever you feel like talking, just know that I'm always here for you. Hyejin is too. So just don't keep it bottled up inside you cuz I don't like seeing you like this, hm?" I said in hushed tones.

His dark brown orbs which were fixated on me while I was talking were slightly teary. I got up and pulled him in my embrace, gently stroking his back.

"Thank you," He mumbled in the crook of my neck before I pulled back.

I smiled at his words and nodded slightly. I looked at my wristwatch and said,

"It's 2:57 am now. Let's get at least some sleep, okay?"

I planted a chaste kiss on his forehead and slid back in my sheets. And in seconds, I drifted off to wonderland.

I woke up instaneously as a loud thud pounded in my ears. Looking around, I saw that Hyejin was sleeping soundly and it was still pretty dark outside.

I crawled to the corner of the bed to check up on Jungkook but was petrified to see no one there.

My eyes wandered around my room but there was no one except Hyejin and I. I checked the entire house, even the bathrooms, without waking anyone up, but he was no where to be found.

I grabbed my phone so as to give him a call and ask him if he went home by any chance. But I noticed that his phone was still on the table next to my bed. He wouldn't have gone home without his phone, right?

F*ck where did this coconut head go!?
