Torn in Two

Part Twenty One: Prepping Jungkook

Zack Young:
I might have looked extra desperate to Grey when I told father that I was going out for with Jungkook and N. Of course neither of them know who N is, but they do know Jungkook and that he's younger than me. Father was just glad that I was making friends, instead of 'bullying' his staff- the teachers.

Right now I was sitting in the cafe N's mother owns. Jungkook was sitting across of us twiddling his thumbs in a nervous way. Last night I got a call from N saying that it was time for Jungkook to ask Erin out.

The moment is now, there's no turning back for him now.

"Okay so Jungkookie, are you ready" N asks with that big rectangular smile of his again.

The young boy stops twiddling his thumbs for a second to give us an nervous smile before he continues his paranoid behaviour.

"Yes defiantly", he pauses for a second. "Wait what was the question again? I feel like throwing up".

"He's ready, right hyung" N questions as he pokes his elbow in my ribs.

I only nod and make an mental note to never sit next to N ever again if my ribs are dear to me. Next time I should next to Jungkook or remember to steal the suit of Iron Man so I can at least protect my body for those nasty pointy elbows of N.

Speaking of N, his little crush is present once again. It seems that this girl either really likes this cafe of hopes to run into N once she enters. It surprises me how well this alien like guy handles his little crush.

"Hyung you are too silent, speak" N mutters.

"Hi" I say with a wide but fake smile. I see how he mocks me by making silly facial expression which causes Jungkook to chuckle softly.

I get my middle finger ready to flip it against N's forehead. N shrieks and ducks under the table while I've done nothing yet.

"Omo I am so sorry hyung, please don't kill me" N shouts. "Put that away!".

With an confused look I turn to Jungkook who just shrugs. "Don't mind him".

I lower my hand so N can finally act a little less alien like.

"Did he seriously think that my finger is a weapon" I ask Jungkook.

N gets in between Jungkook as he slaps my back. "Aniya hyung. Although when you flip your middle finger against my forehead, it serious hurts like hell".

This is all a joke right? They are just messing with me since I'm older.

If they continue this, then I will surely kick their ass!

"I can still flip it, right here" I say teasing and poke his forehead with my index finger.

His eyes widen in shock. "Ah please don't do it hyung, it hurts so much- it's like my head is on fire".

"Eh hyungs, not trying to ruin the mood but what about me and asking Erin out".

I shake my head with a snicker. "This advice is for the both of you: be yourself", then I remember something important and turn to N. "But not too much like yourself. So don't ask her to throw water in your face" I say directly to N.

I'm sure Jungkook wouldn't do such an stupid thing. He really does like Erin for some reason I can't understand. However I'm rooting for him to win her heart.

Dane always gets the girl, so this might be a wise lesson for him. Although I have no idea about Neo and girls since I never talked to him before all of this since he always changes the topic.
